It brought tears to my eyes to read your little extension story.

The little girl would like to remain nameless, and she is grateful to the professor/father/uncle/friend for allowing her to stay.  She does her best to entertain herself and finds Little Bee, Sooty, and Horrace Bat all wonderful company.

 

At the moment she is eating from her blue bowl.  Thanks cook @Shaz51 

 

She is not sure why she is so old fashioned, maybe it is true she is a time traveller. 

 

Glad this bee is not in her bonnet, but doing what he is meant to do!

 

 

 

Hello @Appleblossom @Exoplanet @Flax @Adge @HenryX @Shaz51 @Oaktree 

 

Above I believe is the last contribution to the story....by @Appleblossom

Sooty did notice one missing but important picture. @Sophia1 the soul of our adventure

 

I hope you don't mind, but I found this picture of a Selkie. Its how I picture you in the story. Note the otter skin dress, and, no its not Versace. Perhaps a Celtic seamstress or even by your own hands!

Lucky we now have a magical coin in the Castle library. One of its powers is to transform people or creatures into another person or creature.You just have to hold it and make a wish. This is handy if you want to change character, persona or even your picture in our fantasy journey. 

 

The little girl with no name is a time traveller within her mind....her imagination runs wild as she has so much time during her days without the company of adults..

She loves her friends, Little Bee, Horrace, red brown dog, Sooty with whom she can roam wildly amongst the grassed areas of the castle and allow her mind to run free...

In the back of her mind..there is a story about a creature from the sea ..in front of the ancient castle...

Looking down at the sea...large rocks are visible and she has on occasion whilst precariously leaning over, glimpsed a seal basking in the sun on one of the large rocks..

Something strange occurred on one of these occasions where she saw movement of fur on the body of the seal...she jumped back quickly as had never seen anything like this before...

 

Up above within one of the turrets of the ancient castle a human figure could be seen watching over all of the land and forest belonging to the ancient castle..

 

The professor hurried down to the entrance of the castle and strode with great purpose across to the edge of the cliff where the little girl with no name and been precariously leaning over ..then jumping back suddenly..

 

He called out the words

 

come away from there immediately...you are not to venture out in this area at all..this you have already been told...It is not safe for you to be here...

Go inside immediately and seek the cook...

I have already instructed her to prepare you some warm soup with freshly baked bread..

 

Red brown dog had already run for cover...Little Bee..Horrace observing from the library window all looked on with grave concern..

 

Meanwhile in the forest at the back of the ancient castle roamed Sooty in his usual carefree manner...sniffing everywhere...marking his new territory...crouching ready to spring on noticing Megs between the forest trees ....

What was she up to?

What did Sooty do next?

Who else was keeping a watchful eye on the little girl with no name?

Where had the professor disappeared to?

 

Your turn.....
