The Girls And Their Home

Though I last spoke on my story's prologue, I feel it best to continue on with other chapters. So for the third chapter, the girls are on their way to the Castle/Estate and are busy getting ready before hand. Anyone reading this chapter will see how poor these two are and to what lengths they are willing to go in order to survive.

At first I was planning on having the two sleep in a single bed to help emphasize their poverty, but then I thought about a note I had made earlier. The girls are staying in another character's previous house from long ago. With this in mind, two beds are already in the bedroom. The condition of the beds are much less than perfect though.

Some walls inside the home look as if they were once repaired, but have aged with time. The kitchen looks neglected and practically unused, showing that the house had not been occupied for quite some time. (Who doesn't use their kitchen?) The exterior of the home is scorched in places while others seem covered up or redone. The type of wood used for the framing and its color is different than most other houses surrounding it. The positioning is also different, as it sticks out from the town, disrupting what would have been like a single wall shared by the back of the neighboring homes.

(If I go into too much more, then those who have read my prologue might realize who once lived where the girls start out. And that would spoil the fun!)

Anyone who wishes to see my most current revisions of my story's chapters need only ask. Please feel free to look at my work and give me your input! All comments are welcome as well!
