Chapter 2

After a long 3 hour drive they were in the woods, “Were almost there Miss Morgan,” Said Mr. Phyllis looking in the rear view mirror. “You will be happy with children your age, I know it.” He smiled at her then looked back at the road. As they drove deeper into the swampy terrain they approached a two story, old, white house. 3 or 4 year old children playing outside with old dolls and toys. The older teens were sitting under a tree talking amongst themselves. A short fat man came rushing to the car smiling and fixing his, expensive looking, jacket. “Oh, oh! Hello there Mr. Phyllis, I’m Jason James,” he said with a smile. “This must be Miss Victoria. It’s pleased to meet you.” He extended his hand to her and shook it slowly still smiling. She shook his with the same expression. Mr. Phyllis  shook his hand after her smiling as well. “Well yes she is sir, shall we go inside and do our business?” Phil said walking beside him. “Oh! Yes we shall.” he walked with him as Victoria followed behind. “Oh Miss Morgan why don’t you go get to know the rest of the kids and explore the area all you want.” Jason said walking with Mr. Phyllis . She nodded and stood there looking at the teens and the small children, feeling a little awkward. She slowly made her way to the teens, but then continued on walking past them toward the small kids smiling lightly. She fixed her dress and kneeled in the grass watching them play, giggle and run around. She then felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up quickly a little startled as she grabbed the hand tightly squeezing it. It was a boy, his hair long, to the side, emo style. His eyes were bright, light blue, they seemed to gleam in the sunlight. “Woah woah, sorry to startle you miss but I wanted to know if you wanted to join in our conversation?” the young man asked in a very polite way. She looked at him and let go of his hand slowly smiling, she then nodded getting up and walking behind him toward the large group of teenagers. “Oh, yeah I’m Brandon by the way,” he said turning and smiling at her, “whats yours?” he stopped and looked at her waiting for an answer. She looked down slowly a little shy. “I-Its Victoria Fullmoon.” she said shyly while looking at the ground. “Wow that’s a pretty name Victoria.” he smiled again making her blush in embarrassment.
