under the snow slightly. Pine trees ran along the border of the property. The first floor was all-stone, while the second floor looked exactly like a log cabin should look. On the left side was a pale stone stairway that wrapped around to the back of the cabin. Smoke poured out of the chimney made of stone on the right side of the roof. The windows were outlined with a dark red wood, the same wood that the door looked to made out of.
âKeep your mouth open like that and youâll end up catching fliesâ Devon chimed in a few moments later. His pointer finger reached under my chin to pull my mouth shut.
âWhat⊠what is this?â I questioned. He laughed.
âItâs my Momâs house, câmon sheâll be so excited to meet youâ he said grabbing my hand again. He pulled me up a stoned pathway, towards the red door that looked very inviting. I could smell some sort of tomato sauce being cooked, it smelled of onions and oregano. I pulled my hand away as we approached the door and stopped. His hand went to reach for the door when he realized I wasnât moving.
âWhatâs wrong?â he questioned.
âWould you make fun of me if I said I was scared?â I questioned him. He shook his head and went to grab my hand again. His hand was filled with warmth, it made me feel like I was at home. I had no clue what was going on, still trying to figure out the secret as to why I had to come here. What would happen a few days from now when I turned 16? I couldnât keep my mind off of why I had been kicked out, maybe now is when the realization had kicked in. I was trying to fight back the tears, wasnât I just saying how after getting kicked out I didnât even cry? It hadnât registered until I smelled the homemade tomato sauce, and the way this place made me feel. Somewhere in my heart, I suddenly wanted to turn back and run away. I could feel the knot bunching up deep in my throat.
âIâm sorryâ I cried as a tear rolled helplessly down my right cheek. With his other hand, he wiped it away with his thumb.
âDonât be sorry, I promise Mom will make you feel welcomed. All of the others have felt welcomed too.â he reassured me.
âThere are others?â I questioned. He nodded.
âYah, they all had the same thing happen to them, kicked out of their homes and forced to come live here. It will all make sense soon I promise. I thought you trusted me?â I nodded.
âI do, Iâm sorry just got a little⊠flustered I guess.â
âSo then are you ready?â he asked as he placed his hands back on the door to open it. I nodded. He opened the red door and stood aside to let me in. I almost had to have him close my mouth again when I entered this home. I mean from the outside it was definitely a luxurious cabin, but from the inside, it looked like a mansion. We stepped into a wide rectangular shaped room, with huge windows looking out into what looked like a lake, except it was covered in ice and snow. There were also mountains far off into the distance. I was in awe. The whole inside of the cabin was made of a light stained wood, the walls and the floor. There was a living room set in the middle of the big room, two gray couches facing each other with a glass coffee table in the middle, and various colored rugs underneath the furniture.
âDo I have to close your mouth again?â Devon questioned with a chuckle. I smacked him lightly.
âThis house, itâs amazing. You would never know what was lurking behind it, it all just looks like forest from way backâ I said.
âYou are going to love the lake in the summer.â I took in a deep breath and smelled the homemade sauce again. It wafted through the house and it made me extremely hungry. I looked over at Devon who was smiling at me.
âDevon was that you?â a sweet voice came from a room off to my left side. I figured the kitchen area was where that sweet aroma had come from.
âYes Mom, Sage is here.â he called back. I heard a few pots and pans rattling, it almost sounded like she threw what ever it was in her hand across the room just to come inside and meet me. I felt honored to have someone be that excited, it was something I was not used to. When she appeared I was in awe, she was so feminine and beautiful. Her hair sparkled from the lighting, it wasnât white but a silvery color, and her green eyes glimmered just as Devonâs did when I had met him. Around her waste was a white cooking apron. Her eyes lit up when she saw me.
âSage, itâs just such a pleasure. I mean come here and give me a hugâ the sauce smell drowned out when I walked over to her. She smelled like home, it was a mix of gingerbread and cinnamon. Her arms wrapped around me like I was her lost child that she hadnât seen in years. I thought I would feel awkward about hugging a woman I didnât know, she had more of a Mothers touch then my Mother ever had.
âWhereâs everyone?â Devon questioned.
âThey are out for the evening, itâll be just us. Dinner is almost ready so why donât you show Sage to her room. She can get settled and then come down for dinner. Maybe youâd enjoy a nice hot bath.â I was almost hesitant to pull away. I canât say that my life at home was horrible but I canât say it was good. I knew that my Mother did care, but at the same time, she was distant. At school all the other kids Momâs would come to pick them up. My Mom never did, she had our maid Grace come and get me. That was until 5th grade when she pulled me out of school and hired a home schooling teacher. She claimed that the school was just too far, and that the bus company refused to drive to where our home was. Now I think it was because she knew when I was 16 sheâd be kicking me out, and she didnât want that to go noticed with the school.
âSure Mom.â I felt his warm hand on mine as he tried to pry the suitcase out of my hand. I looked at him.
âI can carry it myself ya know.â I said once his Mother was out of the room.
âI was just trying to be a gentlemanâ he smirked. I rolled my eyes at him.
âShall I show you to your room?â he questioned.
âYes sir you shall.â I mocked him. He just shook his head and started walking towards the other side of the cabin. Directly across from the kitchen entrance was the beautiful wooden stairway. I followed behind him, looking at the pictures against the wall. They must have been the kids he was talking about. There seemed to be four others besides Devon. It was pretty even, there were two other girls in the pictures and two other guys. They all looked so happy. There was a picture of the Family camping at the lake, and one with them all crowded around the dinner table. I smiled thinking that maybe I could be apart of someoneâs Family pictures. I didnât realize that I had stopped until I heard Devon clear his throat. I looked up at him.
âSorryâ I trotted up the few stairs to where he was standing. The upstairs hallway was huge. Right as we walked up the stairs I was blown away once again by the gigantic windows that took up practically the whole wall in the hallway. The sun was setting in the background and I could see itâs orange glow even behind the gray clouds. On both sides of the room were doors, I was guessing each led to a bedroom.
âEach bedroom has itâs own bathroom.â he was walking towards the room closest to the window on the right side. The door to the room blended in with the walls, aside from the golden doorknob. When he opened the door, I was once again shocked. The room was a huge rectangular shape. Right up against the wall where the door was a huge stone fireplace with a wooden mantel. The bed had to be king sized with a see through white canopy on top. Next to the bed was a beautiful bay window looking out into the forest. Looking out into the lake, I had sliding glass doors with a balcony. I placed my suitcase on the bed and turned to look at Devon.
âSo Iâm guessing you like it?â he questioned. I laughed.
âLike isnât the word for it, Devon itâs gorgeous. Everything about this place just amazes me. Iâm honestly scared to see the bathroom. I feel like I dunno⊠I think you should pinch me see if Iâm really awake, because honestly I donât believe that I amâ he chuckled. I looked over at the door that led to the bathroom.
âGo check out your bathroom, if you pass out from shock Iâll know you loved it.â
I walked past him and opened the door to my new bathroom. I could not believe my eyes, the floor was black marble, in the far left corner was a hot tub? Really a hot tub? My god! I covered my mouth with my hands and let out an âOh my God!â out loud. I heard laughter from behind me. I had a beautiful white sink with a counter top and mirror right above it. In addition, there was a regular bathtub as well. I felt a sharp pinch on my arm.
âOW!â I yelped. I turned around to find Devon laughing.
âI figured Iâd do it before you asked me againâ he smirked.
âOkay I didnât mean literallyâ I laughed. I couldnât contain my smile, this was so worth it. To come to a nice loving home where everything was so luxurious and beautiful.
âIâll let you wash up for dinner.. You know maybe change your care bear pantsâ he snickered. I walked over and smacked him across the arm.
âThese are the most comfortable pants in the world, and I will wear them again I can promise you that.â âYouâve been warned.â I added pointing my finger at him. He smirked.
âIâll see you at dinnerâ he went to leave.
âHey Devon..â I called after him right before he was about to shut the door.
âMm..â
âThanks. For you know pretty much everythingâ I said unsure of what I was thankful for, but I knew I needed to say it. He smiled and nodded.
âNo worries.â he closed the door behind him. I listened as his footsteps walked across the hallway to the other side, then a door shut. I was alone again, I ran to the bed and jumped onto my back, looking up through the see through canopy. I took in a deep breath and then sat up. I wondered how I got from point A to B
âKeep your mouth open like that and youâll end up catching fliesâ Devon chimed in a few moments later. His pointer finger reached under my chin to pull my mouth shut.
âWhat⊠what is this?â I questioned. He laughed.
