Uriel finished her food and got up after feeling a bit better, she look at the room she's in. It's white. The floor, wall, ceiling and even the furniture are white tho there's only a bed, desk, curtains and a chair.

It just seems so empty...Uriel hate empty spaces...
She look under the bed remembering she saw something underneath it when she got up. It's paints buckets, blue, red and yellow, paint brushes and a piece of sheet.
Perfect
Uriel thought as she got them out.

She started painting on the wall, the image of a forest slowly turn into a desert, then to a seaside, and then snow land for the four walls, and a blue sky to night sky on the ceiling which she have to stand on the desk to reach it, she moved it around the room and it's really killing her back, and finally, she coloured the floor with a mix of river and earth.

She stand back after finishing the work, then she look up, it's already night time then she suddenly feel hungry and wanted food. She step out side and found a plate of mash potato with gravy and peas, she smiled and took it inside. It's still warm so did Mr Ardelean know she's hungry? Now Uriel really wish she could show this room to Mr Ardelean and thank him for it. She quickly finished the food and head out, yes, yes. She still remember what happened last time she did that but she will NOT go looking for weird stuff this time.

The moment she step outside she took a deep breath, she's still scared of what else is in this place. She took every step carefully, it's late and don't want to make a loud noise even tho she only seen Mr Ardelean here, it's a habit.

She knock on the 'guest room' she found Mr Ardelean in, no response.
"Do you need something?"
Uriel jumped and turned around, that guy is just standing there at the end of the corridor, how long have he been there?

"Ah! Oh umm...sorry, that was impolite," Uriel strutted,
"Umm...I just want to thank you for the room and apologize for the fact that I was wondering around without permission plus, I wanted to show you the room I've painted," Uriel give Mr Ardelean the brightest smile she can make. She started to skip-run to his room, Mr Ardelean followed keeping the distant about....4 foot? Yeah, around that.

Soon they arrived and Uriel quickly rush into the room and turn to look at Mr Ardelean when reached the window. She seems quiet pleased with Mr Adrelean's reaction, it's shock and amazed. He continued to stand at the door way,
"Good work, but this isn't what I've asked you to draw...still, I guess it's a living picture that I wouldn't forget," he smiled gently, probably without knowing.

Uriel smiled as well, she honestly couldn't tell if that was a flattery or not but it seems Mr Adrelean is happy.
"Well...if it count, can I go home for a bit?" She asked.
The smile on Mr Adrelean's face disappeared, Uriel suddenly feel scared and her smile also started to fade.

"Will you come back?" Is what Mr Adrelean said after a few moment.
"Wha- oh yes, I will come back," Uriel answered.
"5 days,"
"What?" Uriel is confused
"Come back after 5 days," Mr Adrelean said as he turn to leave.

Uriel's eyes shined.
"Thank you very much," she said and started to pack his bag.
"Stay for tonight, it's dangerous to wonder in the night," Mr Ardelean's voice echoes though the corridor.

Ah...right...it's night time, feeling stupid, Uriel went to wash up and climbed into her bed and try to erase that from her mind. But she's happy, she'll see her friends tomorrow nothing can get better then this, and with that she fell asleep where she dreamed of many colours, friends and...a...stranger? Who is that? Why is he here?
