Chapter 7 Lost and then found in a Town

After awhile Jean stopped running, the fields seemed to go on for ever. Jean was getting tired and cold, a slight wind had picked up. Jean stopped at the top of what seemed to be the hundredth hill, she looked ahead all there was were hills going on as far as the eye could see, Jean stood there the wind blowing her night dress against her legs, she was ready to give up and and go home, she was lost. Confused and scared Jean started to walk down the hill. Jean did not like being all alone in this maze of hills, it was a terrible feeling not being near village, she wished there would be a village soon. While walking up the next hill Jean realized that the landscape had changed, there were lots of rocks and no more light bulb flowers. Jean scrambled over the rocks and once she even had to go under a rock because she couldn't get over it. By the time Jean got to the top of the hill she was covered in scratches. Jean looked down and to her relief saw a rather large village, not as big as the one she lived in but nearly the same size. Jean stumbled down the hill, she got to the bottom of the hill, feeling tired she tried hard to walk to the gate to knock but she was just to tired. Eventually Jean got to the gate and knocked, it made a very loud banging sound but Jean knew her small hand could not have made such a loud sound.
'Open the gate!' Jean heard some one shout. The door opened slowly, it looked like a very heavy door, when it was finally open (which was about fifteen minutes later) she walked inside...
Jean walked casually into the town, but she did not expect to see what she saw. In front of her was a large town square, there were no people there, but what was there was quite extraordinary, there were creatures with whiskers, horns, mouse ears, fur, extremely long feet, no eyes and the size of teddy bears...

Jean just stood there staring at what lay before her eyes. Jean was imeaditly lead into a little house by a female creature, Jean had to duck to get through the door, the female told Jean that her name was Alisia. Jean noticed it was the name of her friend. This might seem rude but for these creatures she did look a little bit like Alisia.
'Here sweetie,' said Alisia passing a alice band to Jean, 'while you are wearing that you can be our size.' As soon as the alice band was on Jeans head she felt a sort of squashed feeling. Soon she found she was the same size  as Alisia,
"What the?" this was weird, soon the squashed feeling went away. Alisia led Jean to a small back room were she could sleep a well needed sleep. In the morning Jean was giving a delious breakfast in bed. Jean walked into the front room which was a bit like a round dining room. Jean saw another little creature sitting at the table reading a very colourfull newspaper, this turned to not be such a good idea seeming you could barely read what was written on the newspaper.
'You are a new comer I see, you must see the queen' said the little white furred creature,
'Where am I?' wandered Jean out loud, she was very curious, this is very strange.
'Oh, welcome to Fare Arazi, did my wife not tell you?' the creature replied, Alisia shook her head looking ashamed, 'No matter, I have told you now.'
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name." The creature looked at her and whispered
'It's me Louie, this is my true form, I am a protector of the great Lelairch, I do not stand for this town's foolishness, while here call me Eilou, oh and my wife, Alsia is also a protector of the Lerairch.' Jean just starred at him she didn't understand, who were the Lelairch? and why was it a secret he was protecting them. Louie insisted that she went sraight to the queen. Jean stepped out of the house and took the alice band off her head, she no longer needed it. They started walking in silence, along the windy roads, Jean was glad she was not in a car, she would have been very car sick. Every now and then they would turn down another windy road.  Jean at first had tried to remember where she was going, but now, it almost seemed imposable to find your way around, it was almost as if the houses had been build first then the roads were build to wind round the houses. Soon they reached the foot of a hill, on which a road went up to a castle...

"Up that road and straight through the gate." Then Louie left, Jean started to walk feeling scared...
