In the island where you could hear the whistling of birds and the tramping together of trees.
There was a big and tall tower where only a mother and a child lived. This tower had an underground house,there was a library in it,in which you could find so many books. They had all the gadgets like heater, gas cooker,tv e.t.c. There were more than five rooms in it. Each of the room always have a poster that says'stay away'.
Outside, was a beautiful garden where trees are planted and crops. There was different trees surrounding the building.
Isabell was only three when she came to live in this tower, she never went outside,she schooled online and played around the house,She always ask her mother why she put a poster like that on each room, but her mother will peck her and tell her not to worry too much that she will soon remove all of them when the right time comes.
Elizabeth, which was the mother's name always warned her child never to go out,she would go outside and sometimes come in the night.
A day came, when Isabell was five years old, she told her mom that she is tired of staying indoors and needed to go outside. When Elizabeth saw the eagerness in her, she took her to her room and locked the door against her.
Isabell felt lonely and dejected,she has no one to play with and ask her mom why she always lock her up in her room,why she told her not to go outside? Elizabeth told her not to worry everything will soon be okay but Isabell cried out"mom am dick and tired of this,I have no one to play with,I feel lonely and dejected, can't you understand this,mom I am definitely going to find my way out of this thing you called a house one day". And she ran to her room while Elizabeth fell down and started crying saying"my darling I love you,I just don't want any harm to come to you, please bear with me it will soon be over".
In the meantime Elizabeth took her lunch to her but told that she was not hungry and ran away. Elizabeth began to cry again.
Isabell took up her phone went to the internet to view at houses, people's and other things. Elizabeth brought up her lunch to her again,she took it and drop it on the table and Elizabeth walked away, later she ate up har lunch feeling unhappy.
Elizabeth kept remembering what Isabell told her, when her phone rang and she pick up the call. She called Isabell and told her she is going out and also not to come outside and she left.
Isabell decided to see whether she could find a way out of this tower and was climbing down the staircase when she mistakenly touched a switched and the groud open up and saw another staircase that leads to the ground,she enter and was looking round and saw an old picture on a dusty table she cleaned it up and saw her mom,her and also an other women with two men again and was surprise and she went back with the picture in her hand.
In the cool hour of the evening Elizabeth Came back and went to take a shower and saw Isabell with a picture in her hand she took it from her and ask where she got it from, Isabell narrated the story for her. Elizabeth quickly understand that it was it was the underground house,she explained everything about the house and that it is for safety in case of any attack you can go there for safety.
Isabell went to her room to take a rest while Elizabeth was happy that she was able to deviate her mind from the picture.
