It's nice to feel like a hero or to be the centre of attention every once in a while. Walking barefoot down the worn road, cheered on by the villagers of Bradstone, one would have thought that I should feel full of pride and joy. Those feelings might have been nice, except for this one tiny fact:l had no idea where I was heading, even when I heard my name being shouted out upon entering the village.
Earlier, after painfully recovering consciousness beside the road, the only important things I could remember were my name, Jonathan Grey, and a horribly uncomfortable feeling that I had forgotten something which could result in life or death. So I had followed the road. Shortly I noticed that I had somehow also lost track of my shoes.
I had ended up in Bradstone. Many villagers hurried over and screamed my name. One older
woman particularly threw her arms around my waist. " You made it! I knew you were special! "  she cried. "My baby is finally home! " At a loss for words, with no idea what to do, the best I could offer the crying woman was to put my arms around her, too. When she settled down, she pulled back to look at me properly. "How are you? Really? Oh, you will have to report to Mr Fredrick first ..."
I was not sure how to answer the woman's—my mother's? —questions, so I decided to be honest. "I'm sorry, but I'm not sure who Mr Fredrick is, or what I must report to him."
My mother took a deep breath, then took my hand to lead me into the house. " Your father will be home soon, so get settled in. I'll be outside if you need me." Taking one last look around, my mother let out a sigh. For the time being, home this would have to be. Breathing deeply, I gathered my courage and mentally prepared myself for what was now my new life.
