．PREFACE .
I have the most amazing Nan in the whole wide world. 『Star』
It all happened when I was 4. I was very weak when I was born, so my skin was pale in an extreme way. Though my hair is a pure black color, kind of striking against my body, and my eyes are also black, but I think there always are some kinds of golden tone under it. I don\'t have a good memory. But there is one thing that I know for sure——My mom never had a boy friend that last for a month, and she had only married one guy before——my dad.However, mom got remarried now. She married a very tough guy this time. His name is Terry. I think he is a weight lifter though, he is burlier then all the people in this world I had ever seen. Soon they got a baby girl. They named her Lucy, which is very popular. But mine is Star, I think this one is much better.After they move out of the hospital and live in the cool flat the new ‘dad’ bought for my mom, Dad began punching me several times a day without a rightful reason. I told mom at last, but mom didn\'t call the police or whatever it is that could put him into jail, I guess she loves dad too much that there were nothing left for me. My heart felt empty than ever at that moment, as if I had drowned into the deep black sea, but no one bothered to took a glance at me. I cried on and on, but there was nothing to cry about. It\'s not like you cry, then a glowing angel come and give you the love you need, ridiculous. Well, I suffered for a long time. sometimes I even thought that dying is better than living in this thing called home. But when Christmas came, Grace came to visit us. She is my grandma, but I\'d like to call her Nan. She is the only person who had actually loved me. Occasionally, she knew what had happen to me and she was furious. She stumped into my bedroom without a word and packed my things in a rush. She asked me if I\'d like to live with her. I was thrilled, nodding without thinking. She smiled, and then drove off with me in her Mercedes without saying goodbye, to an outer world, in the countryside, the most beautiful mansion you could ever imagine, where I now live.--------------------------------------★Nan\'s mansion was in Mexico, a long ride from Los Angeles. We arrived at the busy city at last, the delicious smell of vanilla and chiles filtering through the sun bathed air, Gothic structures spred along the streets. Churches with little angels on the top and color-stained glass windows sparkeled among the trees. Breakfast stands and café with little sidewalk tables were filled with Mexicans.Finally, the crowded city streets changed into an avenue.Leafy trees cast a beautiful pattern of shadows on the sidewalk, little blue scrub jay singing an \'chip\' song on the edge of a branch. Nan\'s car came to a halt in front of an black iron gate. A second later, the huge gate door slide open slowly, and in we drove.--------------------------------------★The new home was incredibal. Nan\'s mansion was huge. But compared with the garden it has, it\'s just nothing.There was a big luxuriant lawn in the front with a delicate water fountain in the center. Rich berry bushes were planted on the side of the drive way, wich led to a well growing orchard, trees rustling in the breeze. Around it was a running creek from the big slope behind. On the right was a stable, there were only two horses living in it, one silky white with big brown eyes and long eye-lashes. The other one was carbonarius, her eyes inky blue.On the left was a golf course with multifarious interesting traps. The azure sky was clear except for some cotton-like clouds floating above.I drag on to my suitcase as I step in, fearing it might get lost in this pardise.＂Well, welcome to your home, sweety.＂Nan smiled at me.I gave her a huge grin. ＂This place is awson ,nan. I just can\'t belive so many good things happen on one day.＂＂I suppose I better introduse some fella to you...＂In the distance, I saw two little figure moving toword us, one pure gray, the other white with chocolate brown dots.＂Kittens!＂ I always loved animals, specialy cats, and specialy kittens.＂Yep,＂ nan patted the gray one.＂this is Norreta, she is a nauty little thing, you better be careful. And this is Lorranda, she is a gentle kitten.＂＂Hello Norreta, hello Lorranda.＂ I knelt down and stroked thier necks.＂Now, let me show you your room.＂＂I have my own room!＂ I said, surprised.＂Don\'t you have your own room at your moms?＂ Nan\'s eyebrows knet together.＂Well, not really...＂ I stamered.＂Moster...＂ Nan mumered. ＂But here, you have everything, let\'s go explor.＂ Nan took my hand and we went esploring.--------------------------------------★We skept the first floor because nan said it was just a garage. So the only thing I know about the first floor then was a big fancy hall with wall circeling it, and a little wooden door on the right that was locked.The second floor was very homy, nothing flashy——there was a living room with comfortable royal-purple sofas, and all kinds of exquisite cutions layed everywhere. Nan\'s room was next to it. The room was filled with old stuffs, such as a Dark-wood Cuckoo clock wich stoped ticking a long time ago, an rusted old-fasioned bike model, and so on.There was also an antic desk for writing and a very tall bed that has a ledder.Between my Nan\'s room and mine there is another room, Nan said it belongs to an aunt of mine！ Her name was Amy and she was tall with long fair hair and glinming sea blue eyes. She worked at a bakery and Nan said she is super nice, I can\'t wait to see her.And then, there it was, the lovely room of my life.＂You know, Star, this room use to be your mom\'s room. After she left, this room is almost as deserted.＂Nan\'s face darkend.＂Oh my, this room is ... I don\'t know what to say ... ＂ I covered my mouth with my hand.In the center of the room was a gigantic round bed with a puffy pillow and quilts that has waves of tussles, and their color raged from latte brown to cream white, and it was on an plate like mat, so the bed looked just like a big mug of creamed latte mom use to make. On the right was an delicate dresser made out of good smelling wood painted smooth white. On the left was a 3-tier cake shaped night table. There was a framed picture on it, showing a blonde lass watering flowers in the garden.＂That\'s your mom when she was in your age, sweet heart. She always loved watering flowers in my back garden.＂ Nan mused, remembering.＂She seemed so happy then, if I was her, I shall never leave this piredise, I\'m never going to leave you, Nan.＂ I huged her tight.＂I know you would puppet.＂ Nan stroke through my black hair and padded me on the back.You couldn\'t belive how many wonderful things Nan had in her mystry mansion——there was a enormous library, a swimming pool all to our selfs on the roof, a forein food making room, a kittens\' playing room, a tool room where you can build what ever you want, and more I couldn\'t count！My life here is going to be glorious, right?--------------------------------------★
