Almost Paradise

The very next day, Skylar took Amelia with her to show the places in Kinsale. The only place that Amelia had been was the market since it was only a little away from Skylar's house. They walked past the houses which were draped in snow. The weather was a bit sunny today unlike the previous day. Kinsale was a beautiful place and there was no doubt in it. The market was busy with many people, few were native people while others were tourists who were as amazed as Amelia. She had been to many places, but none could match to this one. It was bucolic with its iconic structures, pastures that wouldn't end, Capped mountains which you could spot few miles away towards south. There was a warmth in this place and its people, even though the market was busy, it was peaceful without too much noise pollution from vehicles; completely different from where she came from.

"This place is beautiful; I am grateful to have met you and come here," said Amelia, and looked at Skylar who held a proud smile on her face.

"It is, there are few more places where you'd feel you are in paradise," Skylar responded.

"I feel I already am in paradise," Amelia's hands were free in the air while talking to Skylar, The young girl was awestruck in the beauty of the place and her reactions made Skylar giggle every time Amelia exclaimed, wow.

"You haven't seen the North and East divisions yet. That is what true paradise is, especially the North and the south division. Sadly, I can't take you there because we live in the west division and we need a permit to go there." Skylar added as she giggled.

"What do you mean?" Amelia frowned. She wondered if they have any differences between higher class and lower class here?

"What I mean is... well... how am I supposed to explain you..." Skylar was trying to explain Amelia but she didn't know where to start from. After struggling to find words to explain her friend, Skylar continued.

"Okay. Here I go. Kinsale is a huge place, where you find beautiful snow capped mountains to the south which you can spot from anywhere, to the east there is a huge resort, to the west there are many houses where people like me live, people who work in the resort or in the Mansion or anywhere inside Kinsale," Skylar explained making Amelia nod.

"Mansion?" Amelia asked her with a hint of curiosity.

"Yes. Mansion, which is in the north side of Kinsale." Skylar replied and continued. "Kinsale is sort of the Schneider's property, excluding the mountains." Skylar laughed when she said about the mountains.

Skylar's words left Amelia stunned. Amelia had seen people owning huge areas with huge building, but she had never heard of people owning an area and turning it into a paradise. Amelia started to call this place as paradise because she felt paradise is the appropriate name for Kinsale since it was filled with nature's beauty. Amelia hasn't visited the resorts, the hills or the Mansion yet, it might be an eye-catching view and Amelia was sure she won't be disappointed by visiting the other sides of Wickhurst. But she realised she has something more important to do first.

"Umm... Sky. I want to find a job." Amelia stated, as they both walked next to each other.

"You have enough money with you right now and you still wanna work?" Skylar asked her because she was aware of the money Amelia carried in the bag. After talking to Amelia, she felt the girl was trustable which is why she decided to tell her about the place she lives.

" I can't stay home. It's so boring. I am ready to do anything, trust me," Amelia said expectantly.

Skylar gave a thought before she said. "Okay fine. I'll take you to the Mansion in a few days since I have work there and you would assist me; guess that's enough excuse to take you there for the time being. You can have a look at the mansion since you said you were an interior designer. About your job, we'll plan something." Amelia's face was lit up with glee at Skylar's words.

"You're such a sweetheart, Sky," Amelia grinned.

"Tell me something new." Skylar shrugged.

"Oh... I was lying about that actually." Amelia laughed, sticking her tongue out.

"I'm gonna kill you... Amy," Skylar glared at her.

"Try to kill me if you can." Amelia laughed and rushed into the house before Skylar could get hold of her.
