The girl did not respond to Nemo's queries for awhile, she just continued to drag him along. After a time they came to a garden, which ended in woodlands. They continued out into the woods. Nemo wasn't sure where they were, he had never been in woods such as these before. They definitely weren't the woods that immediately surrounded the village, he knew that for sure. The mystery girl finally stopped beneath a tree.
"I'm Rose " Well that solved one mystery. She still hadn't told him what was going on, but Nemo had given up on that for now, hoping someone would fill him in at some point. Rose smiled at Nemo, it was a beautiful smile that made him feel all warm on the inside. Her demeanor changed abruptly when she said, " I'm sorry. My name is Rose " Her voice suddenly became cold when she apologized, as if she was sorry for being kind. He watched Rose as she climbed up the tree. She looked down at Nemo from her vantage point, " What are you doing there? Aren't you going to climb too? " Now there was a touch of excitement in her voice. Nemo was rather confused by her abrupt change of attitude and just stood there for a moment. He finally decided it was best just to go along with her until he knew more about what was going on. He nodded up at her and quickly swung up into the tree. Nemo was quite good at climbing, and had caught up with Rose in no time at all. He looked at her and grinned. "Nice view up here isn't there?"
