yay! second part! (FYI Violet thinks in monkey with bits of English mixed in.) Please comment, ask questions if you have anything to say or ask.

--------------------------future Wendy talking here----------------------------

Hi! My name is Wendy. I'm Violet's sister. I didn't know she existed until we were eleven, but anyway. I was quite annoyed at the fact that our new sister was actually older than I.

We (as in us four) are all girls. It is very rare to have trips all the same gender, but as we are quads, well, it is almost unheard of!

--------------------------------Wendy's POV------------------------------------

We walk down another passage. Left, right, left, left again, right. Soon I lose track. I have no idea where we are going or why, but I am surprised that it is Stella that asks.

"Mom, where are we going? Why are we even here?" She timidly asks.

Mom is a distant character in our lives. She is always so busy and we never get to see her. We all learn to get along in life with just our nannys.

she hesitates before answering. "An..... interesting patient was brought in yesterday, and I was hoping you three would be able to calm her down."

"Why us? Also, are you trying to get us lost?" Isabella this time. 

"Second question first. I'm not lost, I know this place like the back of my hand. Quite literally." She held up her hand, and I noticed a tattoo on the back of it. It was a map. "I will answer why you three later."

"That map wasn't there earlier." I say.

"No, it appears and moves to my needs. It's very useful."

Wow. A magic tattoo. I now want one. "We have our cooking class in twenty minutes. Will we be done by then?"

"Who says you are in charge? I'm the oldest! I'm in charge! I get to tell you when we have cooking class!" Isabella protests. There she goes again. Pushing against my leadership. I just roll my eyes.

Then I notice we have stopped in front of a door. "Is this it?" I ask. Isabella was being a grumpy person and lagging behind.

--------------------------Violets POV-------------------------------

I was up in a tree, talking to some monkeys. It felt natural, but unsettling for a few reasons.

first, they were actually talking to me as if I was a friend. I did grow up with the monkeys, but they never treated me like one of them. these other monkeys didn't seem to see me as a monkey, but i was apparently not going to murder them in their sleep, like a jaguar. Second, the tree. It was inside walls, and there was a roof over my head. the tree was also super tall, and the only tree here. 

I turned my head. someone was outside the door, in the small area between the two glass doors. a second later, I had hid behind a branch. How do i know what half the things here are called?

I knew the one in front. she was in charge here. But the rest... I didn't know them... did I? They all look like me, But that one... her hair was blue at the ends! How? never mind, they were talking. 

The taller one first. "I hope this is a prank." What was a prank?

Then the one that looked the youngest. "We couldn't have another sister!" another sister? what does that mean? she looks like she is freaking out... maybe i should go help her. No, tall person was doing that.

"Is she older than me?" blue hair this time.

the queen(wait, how do i know that word AND what it means!?) answered all of them. "No,its not a prank, yes, Stella, you could, and yes, Violet is the oldest." she turned toward me. wait, could she see me? 

"come down now Violet. they want to meet you." she said. i realized she was talking in my first language, the language of the apes.

----------------Wendy again---------------------

As we enter, I find myself in one of the forest rooms. The grass at my feet feels nice. I've always wondered how mom got all those trees in these rooms. Then again, it snows around Isabella's bed, so I guess it's possible.

We see lots of monkeys around. Most are in the trees, but two are at the very top, playing with... a girl. I suddenly believe mom. This girl was our sister. I don't know how I know. "Ok, I believe you." My voice echoes loudly.

The girl — I think her name was Violet — looked up. She made an odd noise like a shout of panic – and next second she was behind a branch. Mom sighs. She walks over to the tree and calls to Violet. "Come, don't worry dear, they won't hurt you. These are your sisters."

Violet peeked at us. Then she moved out from behind the tree. Holding on to the tree with her— tail. She has a tail. My new sister has a tail. Why am I shocked. What do I say? 

She makes some weird noises. Then starts talking in English."you... are friends? You don't hurt me?" 

I notice she has scars on her arms and legs, as well as some fresh injuries. She must of had trouble with hunters. "We are friends. We are your sisters." 

"I don't know I had sisters. I has brothers though!" A small monkey is sitting on her shoulder, tickling her ear. I guess that is her 'brother'. She speaks funny. like she knows the right words but not the grammar.

She comes down to the lowest branch of the tree. She stops and looks at mom. "and you? You are queen." 

"Yes. I am also your mother."she answered with a smile.

"Now I have two!" starting to come down to the ground. she stops again, obviously worried. "Will Mana safe?" What is mana? Or Who? 

Mom (it feels weird too call her that.) smiles and nods. Violet walks toward us, much more happier than before. Mom follows her. "Have you calmed down now Violet?" She says. "If so, we need to go to the infirmary to fix up those wounds."
