Through the Looking Glass (Part 5)
Kitty opens her eyes and sits up quickly. She is in a night shirt and is lying in a bed with white sheets in a small room with white washed walls. There is a window on the left wall with a painting of a mountain scene next to it. On the wall infront of her is a small fireplace and a closet next to it. To her right is a nightstand with an oil lamp, a table against the wall, and a door. The door opens and the woman that was with Daedalus walks in with a bowel of water, a grinding stick, some herbs, and a tea cup. She looks up.
woman: Oh! You're awake.
The woman walks into the room and shuts the door. She puts the bowel, herbs, and cup on the table. She turns to Kitty.
woman: Now then. I'm Enid. Do you have a name?
Kitty(thinking): "How can I understand her? That's not English. Can I speak it?"...Kitty.
Enid:...Kitty? Kitty. Well, Kitty, where do you come from? You had some strange clothes on.
Kitty:...England...
Enid: 'England'? I've never heard of that before. Is that a small village?
Kitty stares at her blankly.
Enid: You are an elf. That much I can tell.
Enid puts a lock of hair behind a pointed ear and turns to the bowel.
Kitty: Your...ears...!
Enid: What about them?
Kitty points at them.
Kitty:...Pointed.
Enid: Pointed ears she says. All elves have them Kitty! Even you!
Kitty:...What...?
Kitty slowly reaches for her ears. She feels that they are also pointed.
Kitty: What the...?
Enid: You have a bit of an odd accent. Is that native to 'England'?
Kitty nods while still feeling her ears. Enid starts to grind up the herbs in the bowel.
Kitty: Where...Where am I?
Enid: You're in the village of Kalevala.
Enid pours some of the contents of the bowel into the cup. She turns to Kitty and hands her the cup.
Enid: Here, drink this. It will help you feel better.
Kitty takes the cup and drinks it slowley.
Enid: My brother said you were soaked to the bone when he found you in the lake. So your other clothes are still drying.
Kitty hands the empty cup to Enid.
Enid: Kitty what element do you have?
Kitty:...Element...? I don't understand.
Enid: Dear girl, every elf has one! Everyone older than ten that is. Except for roalty. They have them since birth. I'm a forest elf.
Kitty: Um...I'm not...entirly...sure...
Enid: Well let me have a look at you.
Enid walks over next to the bed. SHe slightly bends down and takes Kitty's chin in her hand.
Enid: Hmm. Blue eyes. Light blue. Not dark like a water elf. I believe you are an ice elf.
Kitty: I...am...?
Enid: How strange.
Kitty: Is there something wrong with being an ice elf?
Enid: Not at all. What's strange is...there isn't an ice elf who exists that's not a dark elf. And there aren't many there. But I can tell you aren't dark. Almost every single one was slaughtered by the Dark Army twelve years ago. Kitty, how old are you?
Kitty: Eighteen.
Enid: Hmm...So you would have been six when the Dark Army tried to take over.
Kitty: I don't remember that.
Enid: How could you forget something like that?!
Kitty: I lost my memory when I was six.
There is a knock at the door. Enid walks over to the door and opens it.
Enid: Oh Daedalus. Come in.
Daedalus walks into the room and Enid shuts the door behind him.
Enid: Here's the girl you found. She seems alright now.
Daedalus looks at Kitty.
Daedalus: Hmm...
Through the Looking Glass Part 5-End

^ ^;; Pretty long today. Yeah...- - Oh God. My brother gave my dog a hair cut and he gave him a mohawk. On a poodle! And then he gelled it to stand up. Little weirdo. Hey check out my friend's story she's writing. Her names Blade Nightflame. The story's pretty interesting. Wow. I have this sudden craving for a taco. Don't know where that came from...Especially since it's 8:45 in the morning. And the moral for today is: Never let your younger brother cut your dog's hair. See you space cowboy...
