Chapter 7

Into the Woods

When Kaye opened her eyes, a girl was sitting next to her on the bed.

“Oh!” Kaye said. She sat up.

At first she thought, I’ve seen this girl before. Then she knew she couldn’t have.

The girl smiled at her.

“Where did you—?” Kaye started to say.

But the girl interrupted her. “Are you ready?” she asked. Her pale face glowed softly from under the hood of a dark cloak.

It occurred to Kaye later that she should have been frightened. It was certainly odd to wake up in the middle of the night to find a strange girl sitting on her bed.

Kaye wasn’t scared, though. Maybe because the glowing face looked so friendly.

“Are you ready?” the girl asked again.

“Ready for what?” Kaye asked.

“To get a Christmas tree,” the girl said.

“A big one?” Kaye said.

“Of course,” the girl answered. “Big, and beautiful, too.”

Kaye’s feet were on the floor instantly.

But even as she stood, second thoughts flooded in. “Now?” she asked. “It’s the middle of the night!”

“The middle of Christmas Eve night,” the girl pointed out.
