After Ms Agatha completed the necessary documentation, which was only to hand over the money to the caretaker, we head outside and on the front door of the orphanage, a horse cart was there to receive us. The cart looks old but luxurious and is drawn by two horse. The hooded figure was sitting on the driver's platform. It should be the driver. We climb onto the cart and I took the seat opposite to Ms Agatha and Sylvia who had their back toward the driver.

[To be clear, I only adopted you because of Sylvia.]

I instinctively looked at Sylvia but she was staring outside the side window extending to not hear anything that is being said.

Regardless I nodded at Ms Agatha’s words knowing she meant what she said. Ms Agatha showed a surprised expression but didn’t say anything.

After about an hour, the sun is about to set. Both ladies spent the whole journey taking in a housed voice and clearly not wanting me to eavesdrop on them which don't mind them for. Ms Agatha occasionally murmurs something lifting her right hand in which he wore a ring with a black gemstone.

We arrived at the remotest part of the city where an old looking house stood which looked quite ordinary, it was two stories high and a front garden and a bit of space were left free for the cart near the fence. I looked back at the cart see the driver was helping Ms Agatha and Sylvia off the cart, for a second I saw a feeble light in all three of them but it disappeared very quickly so I can't notice the details. I rubbed my eyes and looked back but there was nothing out of the ordinary can be seen there.

After that, all four of us entered the house, the front door leads to a narrow hallway with doors on either side of it.

Suddenly a young girl with two pigtails opened a door, that is second on the left-hand side.

[You're back! Mommy, they are back!]

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

What an angle! The girl is about three years old with brown hair and brown eyes and her cuteness level is off the charts.

Following the shouts of the girl, another girl walked out of the room, she has the same hair as the little girl.

She came up to us and hug the little girl and shoot a filthy look at me and viciously said

[Lily, didn't mommy told you to stay away from men and dogs!]

Huh….. Did I do something wrong?? And what's with that emphasis on men and dogs. Are men and dogs are interrelated in some way.

[Why did you take a man here?]

[Emilia, we will talk about it later, tell Elsa and Lara to not attack him, lead him to the attic. ]

Ms Emilia don't look very pleased about the task she was given but she still leads me to the staircase which is behind the last door. The first floor has only one door, there are some weird noises coming from it but we didn't stop there and went to the second floor, it too has only a door.

[It's here go inside and stay there.]

She shoved me in the back and shut the door behind me with a bang. I fell onto the floor due to her shove and before I can turn my head toward her darkness fell in the room. The only source of light is the window at the far end of room which cast eerie light in the room. There is nothing in the room except me. I went toward the window and sat in front of it, it shows the front yard from where the cart with Ms Agatha and Sylvia depart.

I spent about two hours sitting in the same position which isn't new for me when cart come back. I hear unlocking of the front and hear voice downstairs, after a while there's knock on the door, it turned out to be Sylvia

[Ren, they are calling you downstairs.]

Sylvia lead me to the ground floor and through the first door on the right-hand side. It was a big room with a round table in the centre where Ms Agatha and another woman was sitting which I guess was the driver due to her clothes, she had red hair and glowing eyes. Sylvia went and sat in front of them and used the chair next to her toward me.

[So, why did you made me take him in?]

Ms Agatha asked Sylvia once I took my seat.
