๐ "G-gosh..." I rubbed my eyes in disbelief as I awoke to the rasping voice of myself.ย Dang....why am I so drained..ughhh.ย Standing up straight and wearing my slippers, I got out of bed stretching my body. There were sounds of cracks coming from my spine and neck.ย My..am I that tired?ย My mind drifted off for a minute as I thought about what I just saw in my dreams.
I was speaking with a tall male. Who was he? Shit, I don't even remember his name...But what beautiful eyes he had...the bluest of emeralds looking down at me.
Crash! My focus was jarred by the piercing sound of a glass shattered. A wave of rising anger filled me. "Aaron! Bella!! ugh why every day??!!" I shouted as I walked outside. I squinted as I entered the kitchen to avoid being blinded by the sunlight from the windows, literally. I looked down at the crashed jar of cat food, then at the two kitties staring at me innocently. With a sigh, I knelt and picked up the glass.
"meow!' Dear Aaron shouted at me wanting to eat. I chuckled and booped his nose "see mister! I don't tolerate this kind of behavior, now you broke the jar and you wait until I am done cleaning." After cleaning up the mess they made, I took a quick shower and went outside wearing my usual fit to get down to study. Usually, I go to a cafรฉ and start with no distractions but today I thought I would go for a quick walk around the city

Getting down to the bustling streets, I ran my fingers through my hair walking to the library [https://img.wattpad.com/eb826cd5a69141798e9c398694587729b43953ba/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f71537479794d38384161674257673d3d2d313134343736383433342e313662306132656339323863313834353332393731363833383936362e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Getting down to the bustling streets, I ran my fingers through my hair walking to the library. I thought I could have my textbooks there. Then I got distracted by some other books. Just being a sucker for these books I took out a book in hand and walked to a table.Reading through the book, I felt my eyes close. I yawned and laid my head on the book dozing off to sleep. Suddenly I saw that I was in a weird place. Standing up, I observed the place. It was dull...dreadful.A Cold breeze just struck me by surprise as I gasped shivering. Ahead of me were dark trunks, shadows, and overhanging limbs of trees across the path. seen at the last second clumps of bushes and barely visible black trails snaking through the undergrowth heading to a manor. the moon was shining through a lattice of leaves, and the patchy sky had stars seen in glimpses through tree breaks. Walking through, I heard Wind slipping through leaves, the flutter of wings unseen, and cracking undergrowth with each step I took.
ย An unfamiliar thud echoed. Heart slamming against my ribs, I gulped at the air, trying to slow my breathing enough to hear. I uttered "who's there! Show yourself!"
I didn't even notice it was raining. I inched away as the figure approached me. "Calm down! You always do this! Auntie meant nothing! We aren't going to die!" a cold voice said from behind the cloak. Before i could speak they cut me off "Shh, be quiet!'' before they pulled me to the manor in a hastened manner. Forcefully, I pulled my hand out of their tight grasp making their hood fall off. "Who are you!"

The person was a boy of the same age as me. His albino hair fell on his face once it got wet. His young flawless face scrunched into a frown before he walked closer touching my forehead. "Must have hit your head really hard when you dashed out, didn't you?"

"No..?" I backed away from him. He rolled his green eyes and pulled me inside the big house. The house was huge indeed. Among the most noticeable attributes of the exterior was the style of the building. The Gothic Revival style was prevalent. A pointed arch is used for windows, doors, and ornamental elements such as porches, dormers, or roof gables, forming a kind of cathedral-like appearance. The blood-red tinted windows were apparent, warning from what's inside. Mosaics on the gate howls in terror. I questioned myself again where I am. In addition to all that, Bargeboards on front gables and steeply pitched roofs are distinctively detailed making it look older.... Scarier

As I entered the house, the interior just gave me chills [https://img.wattpad.com/7d62daf5a060f523a0ac3d7ca0c277202278c2b3/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f77656f46652d32624941437250773d3d2d313134393433383739352e313662336363363835383236383863333836363638353630313737322e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
As I entered the house, the interior just gave me chills. The musicals of the dark poet and once upon a December ringed in the empty halls. The wallpaper had some kind of pattern using two tones: velvet green and black. Just like the wall coverings, the fabric choices are bold, dramatic, and elegant. The ambiance of silk draperies added a spectacular style statement. The scent of a weird meal pranced its way to my nose, not only that but a weird spoiled whiff filled the place. This flair for drama continues with the choice of accessories. All what's displayed are pieces that contain heavy wrought-iron, metal, wood, or stone. Ornately carved stone statues, huge wrought-iron chandeliers, and heavy area rugs were in every nook and in every hall.
"Hope nothing has happened to auntie...you know well she isn't that strong anymore. Not after how he drained her" The boy said in a hushed somber tone. I raised my brow not knowing what exactly to predict. I looked around and bit my lips before uttering just to cope with the scene "so...what made you come after me?" The boy froze and looked at me with his cold green eyes. He was serious somehow. "You know well that auntie ordered me to do so. She didn't want you to get tortured by his traps..." My eyes widened a bit and I looked down. He sighed and just said "follow up before he notices you are out here...i bet you'd hate him to again hurt you if you refused once more to go on his lead." he pointed at my face....
