"Can I come in, Ella?" Herman asked.

Ella made a shooing motion towards Roess, who hadn't moves a millimeter. "Um, not right now, father. I'm a bit busy."

"Okay then," came the reply through the heavy oak door. "I'd appreciate it if you'd come to see me in my office later. Will you please do that for me, Ella?"

"Sure, I can do that."

"Alright then..." Ella could hear his footsteps moving away from her door.

Roess climbed onto Ella's shoulder. "Why didn't you let him in? He wouldn't have been able to see me."

"You could have told me that earlier." Ella sighed. "I wonder what he wants to talk to me about...I doubt it's anything good."

"Sorry, I keep forgetting you don't know these things. I'm used to hiding from humans, not talking to them. Humans can't see me unless I decide to let them see me. I can't hide from you anymore, because I decided I wanted you to find me, but that's not the case for anyone else around here."

"Well, anyways, before I go talk to him it would be good if you could tell me anything about your home that might help me find it. Something other humans might actually recognise."

"Hmm, let's see...Oh, I know! There's a valley nearby with a town, and there's a castle in the town."

"That's pretty vague. Anything else? Do you know what the flags on the castle look like."

"Uh....they're blue."

"Blue? That's it?"

"Well, I never paid that much attention, really. Give me a minute to think of it." Ella watched Roess stare into empty space, until a glowing ball appeared in from of the dryad's face. Whatever she was doing, it seemed to be more than simply thinking. Finally Roess spoke again. "Okay, there's also a silver wolf on the flag."

"Now we're getting somewhere. Maybe my father will recognize it."

"Do you mind if I come with you? I really like having your company."

"You're sure no one but me can see you?"

"Positive. I've stood on people's heads before without them noticing me."

That's what I was thinking every time someone brought one of those "personal watermelons" to the register.

That and why Ice Breakers even bothered to make "Iced Tea" flavored candies. WTF? "It's like tea, BUT SOLID!" Oh yea!

Either way, had a really mean woman in my line today, really close to when I was getting off of work for the day. Apparently she had an ad from another store and we DO match prices. However, they were charging a dollar for three of something while we only charge $0.33 each, which ends up being $0.99. Sure it's only a penny cheaper, but still. THEN she wanted me to give her FOUR for a dollar instead for her trouble.

Since I refused she got pissed at me and bought only the item I'd rung up before then, a watch. And left her corn, two things of chicken, some doughnuts, and a few other perishable items at the register.

And apparently all of the other cashiers heard about it by the end of the day, since they all asked, "Did she even BUY anything?" And apologized saying it happens. Which I'm aware of.

I've already gotten the SECOND best death glare I've ever seen and been cursed out because I was closing the lane since the register locked me out. (I worked 5 1/2 hours that day, and with that you only get one 15 minute break so the register decided I'd worked too long and locked me out.) I offered to get a manager over to let me back in the register so I could check her out, but she refused.

This "refusal" included cursing me out, telling her daughter all kinds of "nice" things about me, and saying I was just being lazy like most of what's wrong with the world/America today.

That's right folks! Flink is what's wrong with America. ^^

"So, where are you from, anyways?" Ella was back in her room, talking to Roess, who had indeed gotten rid of the apple cores. "It'll be hard to get you back home if we don't know where we're going."

Roess was sitting on Ella's lap cross-legged. "My home is ----------." The sounds that came out of her mouth were unintelligible to Ella, but she got the impression of leaves rustling. "We've lived together for decades now."

"That's......that's......a weird name. And what do you mean 'we'?"

"---------- and I, what else would I mean?" Roess slapped her forehead after saying that. "Right, I forget what you humans are like, I've only heard stories. You're the first one I've ever dealt with."

"Ooookay....now that we've gotten that straightened out, maybe you can tell me the human name for your home forest?"

Roess shook her head. "That's not the name of the forest, that's the name of the tree I live with. He doesn't have a human name, since your race doesn't see plants as people."

"Well, plants aren't people. They're plants."

Roess stood up and pointed at Ella's nose. See, that's what I mean. You think that because you humans have forgotten how to talk to them they're not people. Well, they are. --------- have a very close relationship. That's why he agreed to let me stay with him, after all."

"What do you mean...oh, nevermind, I think I'm getting a headache trying to decipher what you just said." Ella leaned back into her pillows. "At any rate, we're no closer to figuring out how to get you home."

"Ella, who are you talking to?" asked a voice outside her door.

"Quick, hide!" Ella hissed at Roess. To her other visitor, "Just thinking out loud, that's all. Do you need something?"

[CENTER][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Century Gothic"]Screams of pain
echoed through the air
she was bleeding to death
but there was no one to care

Screams of hate
brought the night to life
she stabbed herself
with her favorite knife

Screams of terror
woke up the dead
she failed at life
Just like they said

Memories of blood
made her want to die
her soul faded
as she said goodbye

Memories of you
brings tears to her eyes
with every breath she takes
her heart slowly dies

Memories of life
made her think of death
she felt herself grow numb
as she took her last breath..[/FONT][/COLOR][/CENTER]
