After a while I woke up feeling pretty good. I did use the walker to get me back and forth to the bathroom. Once I came out I saw a fresh set of clothes on the bed so I grabbed them and went back in the bathroom and took a shower. I was so happy and felt a hundred times better after the shower that I decided to walk to the end of the hall and back. Once I did that I went in and sat on the couch for a while. I watched t.v. until Patricia and Adrianna came back in the room.
"Hello young lady, how are you this afternoon? We need to have a talk. Do you feel up to moving?"
"I'm doing fine. Still starving, Where am I moving to?"
"First Adrianna has to clear you, but I think it's time for you to join the rest of the school."
"Patricia her vitals are stable. She is holding down the food so I see no reason for her not to join the rest of the school."
"Great now let me explain, I think the doctor in France told you I am not only her sister but I run a school for gifted people. Well some of those people are above us now. And some of them live here full time and some of them go to their homes at the end of every school day. It all depends von how far away they live. Would you like to move upstairs and join the group? I already have a room set up for you when your ready."
"That's great, I get tired of being in here by myself. Can we go now?"
"Yes, first I will show you your room then I will show you the rest of the grounds. If you get tired let me know and we can stop for a bit. This way please."
We go down the hall to an elevator. Patricia pushes the four. Once we get out she takes us down to the end of the hall. My room is the last one on the right. She shows me around. I have my own bathroom. For some reason this makes me very happy. Then she points out the closet and things but before I can say anything she opens the closet a to show me it's full of clothes. She shows me the same thing with the dresser and the bathroom. Then she explains how the staff got me the things I needed. It made me very happy to think there are people out there who are willing to help rather than hurt a person. Then we moved to the main floor. Here there were class rooms, A living room, A dining room, A game room, and the kitchen. Then we moved to the next level down. And I learned this is where the tactical classes are held. Then she showed me where the cars were held. She showed me the ones for group use and the ones that belong to the individual students and where the keys are for the cars we can use. Finally she told me the clinic if in the next floor down. Then we took the elevator back up and she showed me around the grounds. We saw the basketball courts, the football field, the baseball field, and the swimming pool. Once we got back to the house we sat down in the kitchen and had a late lunch. While we were eating I had a few questions.
"I'm not sure but didn't I see a river somewhere on the property? Do I have chores to do? Do we eat family style meals or just whenever we are hungry? When do classes start? What classes do I have?"
"Yes you saw a river. It's a little ways back about mid way to the fence. There are fish in there so if you like to fish you can. You can help out with the cleaning and cooking. I'm not expecting you to do it everyday but it helps if you clean up after yourself. Some days like holidays we do family style meals but mostly if your hungry go make yourself food. As far as your classes go we will have to do some testing first before I can place you. Now how would you like to meet the students and teacher's that are here?"
" I don't know if I know how to fish but I'm willing to try it. I will help out anyway I can. So we will start the testing Monday then? I would like to meet the others."
Patricia takes me downstairs and introduced me to several people. While I was being introduced I kept getting these odd flashes of children. After I meet everyone I take Patricia aside and tell her about it. She tells me not to worry and this just means my memory is trying to come back.
After a while we eat and I go to bed. That's the night my nightmare started.
