the ropes with the other newbies at camp snow bride and get into a routine, something to help me gather info and pass the time.
I still have no flippin' idea where the portal is.
It's not like I could do anything else.
No one's willing to help a gal out or even lead me in the general direction of the portal dealie we'd gone through.
That's all I did the first week, try to find a way home.
All my searches were fruitless and came up with nothing, only succeeding in frustrating me to no end.
Veck knew exactly what I was doing, but didn't say anything. He just patiently waited me out and helped me get into the swing of things when I gave up and asked him to help me acclimate.
Not give up on my search, let's not be hasty here, but give up on acting like I was.
You can't beat em, then join em. …at least until you find a better solution.
Bride nabbing aside, they weren't a bad lot. Not once you got to know them... oh yeah... and stop resenting them every five seconds for grabbin' ya up...
Did I mention I've been here for a few weeks? More than a few now.
Yeah... I've had a little time to adjust...
Oh, yay me, I thought glumly, with all the enthusiasm of someone who'd just been given a certificate for a free colon cleansing for Christmas.
I glanced down, admiring my hand made, thick , warm winter clothes distractedly, recalling how I'd gotten them in the first place.
After a week solid of wearing the same outfit, I'd been thrilled when Veck had brought me this set of clothes to wear, several other s too as the weeks went by, but this one was the first.
Really warm ones fashioned from tanned animal hides.
My outfit consisted of a soft pair of pants and a long dress like top that fastened with ties at the back and a really warm pair of furry boots.
So warm.
I used the mating fur he'd given me like a cape, wrapping it around my shoulders to shield me from the cold.
Veck was very proud when he admitted he'd made them for me himself and I was in awe at that and the fact that he would do something so thoughtful for me.
He'd made them himself... just for me...
When I'd told him as much, trying to thank him, he'd just grunted and said, "Veck takes care of Meanie," ending any further comments.
****
"Meanie, no luck?" Veck asked plopping down beside me on the ground as I wiped the stray tears from my eyes, my nose a bright red, face puffy from crying.
"I just want to go home," I sniffled.
"This make Meanie happy?" Veck asked gruffly, staring off over the water. "What Meanie's home like? Good?"
"I uh... well, yeah."
I didn't protest when he wrapped an arm around me and tugged me towards him, taking the comfort he offered at the moment, needing it, absorbing his warmth.
I thought about what I should talk about, how I could tell him how wonderful my life was.
My mind blanked as I tried to think of one good thing about my life back home, something to really sell him on why I really needed to go back.
I mean... yeah, there's television, cable, phones, cars...
But then again... there's usually nothing on to watch, yet there are like fifty million channels...
Phones... well my phone's constantly ringing off the hook, not for me, but because bill collectors are calling for the man who used to have my phone number....
Erm...
Cars, well... yes , I miss my precious truck... my baby ... but then there's always traffic... the upkeep… poor truck is getting old and has broken down a few times…
Yep, traffic…
Definitely won't run in to that issue here ...
Is my life really that sad that I can't come up with anything really good or life altering?
I’m only thinking of stupid materialistic things…
There's hospitals! Y eah, medical care... doctors, that's good...
...what else....
I sighed inwardly.
Yeah, Mina, let's get real for a minute here, have a little Mina to Mina chat about what life was like back home...
Well....
I worked hard at a job that doesn't pay as well as it should, I don't have any
