'Now arriving at Alice please stay in your-' Eleanor heard her place of arrival and began to prepare to vacate the train. The carriage she was in wasn't very busy and everyone sat quietly glued to their own business, she wasn't surprised by the other civilized passengers in the carriage due to it being first class, however it had always been in the back of her mind as of why she didn't pay for the ticket herself. She was perfectly capable to do so, however Raven explained the 'expenses are going to be paid' which made Eleanor wonder, Who is this 'Diana' and why is he being so polite to me, Someone he definitely doesn't know?
As the train came to a halt only a few people stood up and grabbed their bags from above them, it took Eleanor a couple of minutes to get the timing just right to grab her bag in mid air while jumping high enough to reach and catch it while still standing. She managed it, and wheeled her suitcase out of the train.
After walking outside of the station she saw perfectly placed taxi's, all in a idealistic straight line.
'OCD's would love this' she thought to herself before struggling a few more paces with her heavy suitcase. Approaching the taxi she politely tapped on the drivers window glass, expecting him to role down the window like any other average taxi, so she bent slightly over to be able to speak to the man, but instead a sudden burst of the door hit her face and she fell to the ground landing on her backside.
"It's okay." She quietly spoke her left hand clutching her forehead as the kind taxi man helped her up repeating his apologies, he obviously didn't mean to do it and Eleanor understood that, however he tried to apologize as many times as possible while seating her in the car and moving her suitcase for her.
"It's a beautiful place full of wildlife and animals! Oh the animals they are truly amazing you should see the-" Ellie began to zone out from the taxi man's gibberish as he began to drive. Still clutching her forehead she also felt sharp pains in her lower back - where she fell. For the whole of the journey she stared out the window, the trees and houses that sped past calmed her, she slowly drifted off. She lifted her hand from her head as soon as she hear the taxi man finally say
" We are here!" Finally, the taxi man made the 20 minute ride feel like forever and the snooze she had didn't make her head feel any better. But as soon as she looked at her hand a little patch of blood was in her palm, 'Damn' she said under breath and quickly checked the drivers mirror to see what her face actually looked like. As she peered into it she saw a huge bruise shape (about the size of a plum) on her forehead with a slight graze by the side.
'Oh boy look out' she said to herself as the taxi man came to open her door, before he saw she quickly raised her hand back onto her forehead, she squinted as her palm hit her face heavily, she forgot that her bruise actually hurt on impact and was too busy thinking of a way to mask it fast enough.
As she stepped out of the taxi she was handed her luggage by the driver and stood near the door, the driver sped off and left her alone in-front of a cabin she had never been to before. She waddled to the door still holding her forehead and finally pushed the doorbell with her elbow after many efforts she stepped back slightly and looked up at the cabin, it looked beautiful and the view of the cabin made her forget to hide her face as she lowered her arm down back to her side.
