When I opened my eyes, the rays of sun, streaming through the windows caught the movement of something on the chair arm. At first, I thought it was a hand moving toward me, but when I focused my eyes, I could see it was a huge, big, black spider, mov- ing toward my hand that now laid frozen upon the chair arm. Before I could barely let out a yell, someone knocked the spider down into the floor, and I watched, mesmerized, as it scurried across the floor and into the dark corners of the room. I looked up to see Drew, standing in front of me. Drew, the young man with the kind, green eyes.

They are more afraid of you, than you should be of them.” As I looked up at my handsome rescuer, I couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed. And anyway, how did he get up here? “Where did you come from?” I asked. “Your aunt told me you were exploring on the third floor,” Drew said softly, as if he had felt my annoyance. “I guess you still haven’t forgiven me for teasing you so, in the woods, yesterday?” He asked. I shuddered at the thought of the spider that was previously crawling so close to my hand. “Thank-you for scaring off the spider.” I said, although any- one could tell I was only being polite. “You’re welcome.” Drew said, as he stared at me with the sun shining down across his eyes, making them look the color of the blue-green ocean, a color I loved and remembered from our many Florida vacations. “What ever is this room, anyway?” He murmured. “It looks as if it belonged to a child,” he added.
