know that you and your baby are safe with the witches." He winked at me in a friendly manner slightly lifting the atmosphere enough for me to find sleep. The world that I knew was no more, a new world had been manifested before my eyes. A bump in the road startled me to my edge with Matthew and the driver sending apologies and apologetic looks my way through the mirrors. Suddenly, the car came to a peaceful stop causing me to glance out of the window; curiosity at its highest peak. 

  "We're here!" Matthew stated softly as he got out of the car and made his way over to me. He opened the door and offered his hand of escort. "Welcome to your new home Paradise." I smiled at the sight before, catching me by surprise. A castle, just as big as the one back home. Beautiful salt colored bricks peacefully laying upon one another as if it was painted just for me. Forming a scene from a fairytale, the only thing missing was my red glittery heels. Maybe leaving was for the best after all. There were flowers planted at every corner of the castle in bundles of colors reflecting that of a rainbow. There was a fountain placed directly in the middle of everything but protected by gates. I inhaled slowly as all my worries and sorrows started to evaporate into thin air of positivity. I could see myself raising my child here, peacefully..happily. Maybe we could turn temporary into permanently. 

   This truly felt like home. "You like it?" Matthew said with a chuckle as we made our way up to the stairs and into the main hall. "The scenery is quite breathtaking. I've been here since I was a kid and it still gets to me." I laughed but remained silent, my eyes spoke the words my mouth couldn't seem to speak. Matthew signaled for me to drop my bags and to follow him to the sitting room. There were a few more things he needed to do before my room was complete. I simply nodded and turned my attention to the books coating every wall in the room. The smell was dry but filled with the moisture of multiple languages, concepts, ideas and imaginations from writers all over the world and from different centuries. 

 I walked towards a red book with golden trimmings outlining it. The boost of energy to finally touch something in this house zapped me out of nowhere. Slowly with caution, I grabbed the book; It was heavy and very thick. The pages were crisp but still fresh due to the good upkeeping of this area. The words on the page never appeared, however, leaving me to think that I picked up a blank book.  Maybe someone was going to write in it. Matthews cleared throat and presence startled me, causing me to drop the book before actually reaching the bookshelf. "Oh, my goodness. I do apologize for that. My curiosity caused me to put my nose where it didn't belong." I placed the book back to its original place and followed behind Matthew who chuckled to himself.  While, of course, informing me that it was okay.

  For me to be such a stranger they were very welcoming; then again I'm sure a bunch of witches would feel no harm or threat from a human like me. "Ah!, You must be Paradise. It's nice to finally meet you." Matthews mother reached out her hand before snatching it back quickly and embracing me in a hug. The sudden gestures caught me off guard halting me in my own personal thoughts. She held me in her arms but slightly pulled back as if she was trying to get a better look.  "You're a witch?" Her face balled up in confusion.."Matthew, you didn't tell me she was a witch.. or that she was pregnant with twins." His face soon followed the confusion his mother face held while informing everyone that he was calling Emerald.
