Title not yet Decided (Part two)


 Hello Everyone! This is part two of  my story. I will post everyday for two days and then there will be a one day gap. that will be my posting pattern for this story. And for all those people who has not read part one, Please go back and read it so you can understand the story more. so, with that out of the way, Let's Jump right in!

Mallie’s world was more wonderful than Lucinda could have ever imagined! there were trees and vines everywhere. The trunks of the trees and the vines were made of chocolate. The leaves of candied mint, the fruit of gummies, the soil of ground dark chocolate, rocks of cookies, and plants of gum. “Is that?... a River of milk?!” exclaimed Lucinda in awe of everything. Mallie said nothing. She only smiled. 

Mallie led Lucinda to a cottage made of giant pastries. They went in through the door and went into a room that looked like a kitchen. They went through another room full of bunkbeds. In each of those bunkbeds there was a child Lucinda’s age. All the bunkbeds were full except for a bunkbed at the far-left side of the room. The bunkbed in that corner had a free space at the bottom part of the bunk. The top half was occupied by a someone. 

“Amy!” Called Mallie. The girl in the bunk at the far left sat up, climbed down, and ran over to Mallie. 

“Yes?” she said. 

“Amy, this will be your new bunkbed buddy” Said Mallie. 

“Hi” said Lucinda shyly. 

“Hello!” said the girl. Sticking out her hand. 

Lucinda took her hand and the girl started to pump her hand up and down vigorously. 

“I’m Amy” said the girl between very energetic handshakes. “And you are?” 

“Lucinda” gasped Lucinda, out of breath. 

Lucinda’s arm felt like it could rip out of it’s socket any minute now. Which was not a very pleasant feeling.

“Pleased to meet you Lucinda” said Amy enthusiastically. 

Mallie chuckled and said “Amy, I think you’re about to dislocate her arm” 

“oh” said Amy. And stopped shaking Lucinda’s hand abruptly. 

Leaving Lucinda with a numb feeling in her arm. “Ok then, it’s still very early so we should all go back to sleep” said Mallie and ushered Amy and Lucinda back into the bunkbed. Before Lucinda lay down on the bunkbed, Lucinda caught a glimpse of the clock. It was 10:00. But Lucinda was fine with it. Since she was very lazy. 

At 2:00 everyone woke up and had some lunch. Then Mallie let them out and let them play. and then they were allowed to stay up as long as they liked. 

This went on for two days. And in that space of time, Amy and Lucinda grew very close. Lucinda liked how Amy’s red hair frizzed around her honey face. And how her bright green eyes were never still.  But on the 3rd day, Lucinda noticed that they were not given any food for dinner. In fact, except for lunchtime, they weren’t given any food at all. 

“Breakfast is fine.” thought Lucinda. “We just eat the plants outside if we are hungry. But… What about dinner?”  

after realizing this, Lucinda started noticing other things that she over looked before. Believing this world was perfect. 

One thing she noticed was no matter how much food the children ate in the garden, The next day the plants looked as if nothing had happened. The kitchen looked as if it was never used, they weren’t allowed to go near the wall, and slowly but surely, day by day, the number of children grew less and less. As if they had vanished into of thin air. 

On the fifth day, Amy disappeared. Lucinda was very sad. 

How could the children disappear Just like that? Surely if you disappear, you Reappear somewhere else? if so, where are they now? and where does all the other replacement children come from? Lucinda's head buzzed with these questions. Which she longed to know the answer. And yet she felt like she knew, but and the same time, not know. it was on the tip of her tongue yet she couldn't say it! Like when something is inches away but you just can't reach it. This was very frustrating. The frustration nearly drove Lucinda Mad! 

She just couldn’t figure it out. Then she remembered that in history class, the teacher mentioned that in history, you must always think thoroughly before you acted or came to any conclusions.  So, Lucinda thought hard. Then, something went click. To Be Continued...

That was the end of part two! I hope you enjoyed it! Remember, there will be a one day gap between the posting. So I will be posting Part three on Sunday. Until then, Keep Reading! And I'll see you soon!
