Chapter One
Cant Close my Eyes

Alexandria Kirke stepped off the train and out onto the abandoned train station. Looking around she sighed and set her bag down. She had wondered why there were still dirt roads. She figured they would have paved them, or at least laid stone down by now. "This is going to be some adventure," she thought to herself as she waited for Mrs. Macready. "Is this it?" she wondered as she looked down at the piece of paper that was given to her before she left London. She had been told that Mrs. Macready would meet her there when the train arrived, but this was obviously not the case.

Alexandria had only found out about her inheritance a few days prior and she had been forced to com down and have a look at her great grandfather's mansion. Not that she complained, of course. She got an extended leave of absence from work and she would enjoy it to the fullest extent, even if she had a lot of work to do during her stay. She had to find a buyer, but if she liked it enough she would keep it for herself. Alexandria picked up her bag when she heard the sound of a horse coming round the corner. She walked down the steps, stood next to the dirt road and watched as a carriage pulled by an old white horse came to a stop in from of her. The older woman stared down at her.

"So you're the one." The woman said down to her.

"Yes mum. You're Mrs. Macready I assume." She looked up at the woman

who nodded down at her.

"Come along now. It's a long way to the professor's house." Alexandria nodded and climbed into the cart. Mrs. Macready urged the horse forward, turned the carriage around, and started back toward the mansion. Alexandria sat and watched the trees go by.

"So what is this thing you are wearing? There is no need to be caring around a sword with ya." Alexandria looked down at what she was wearing and smiled.

"It's a saber, mum. It's a part of this uniform."

"A uniform for what, might I ask?"

"I am a part of the United States Marine Corps, mum."

"Oh, that's all you need to explain then." Alexandria rolled her eyes and continued to look out toward the scenery. It was not much longer until they came upon the large mansion surrounded by large trees and rolling hills of green grass. Mrs. Macready pulled the carriage around the back of the house and

Alexandria pulled her bag out from the back of the carriage. As she was looking up at the tall building, she was ushered into the house by Mrs. Macready. Alexandria followed her around as she explained the general rules in the house. 'Funny,' Alexandria thought, 'she is laying down ground rules for me in my own house.' Mrs. Macready showed her to her room where she could settle in. She unpacked her things and put them away in various drawers in the dresser and in the closet. Mrs. Macready soon walked in and sighed, shaking her head at her.

"Still haven't gotten out of that uniform? The least you could do it take off that sword." Alexandria glared at her idea of respect and sighed.

"I'm going into town to get the makings for supper. Is there anything that I might get for you while I'm there?"

"No, but I'm thirsty. I'm sure there is water in the kitchen?"

"Yes there is. Feel free to look around, but don't touch or break anything." She turned from the room to leave, but stopped and turned around.

"Forgive me miss. I'm so accustomed to having the professor around, I forget that this is your home now. So feel free to do as you wish."

"I understand. It must have been hard to lose him." She nodded before continuing out of the room.

Alexandria wandered down to the kitchen and got herself a glass of water. She watched as Mrs. Macready drove the carriage down the drive and out of sight from the kitchen window. She set her glass down on the kitchen counter and began to wander through the downstairs rooms before she continued to the second and to the third floors.

The house was full of ancient artifacts, swords, shields, and suits of armor. This house was so amazing to her, she thought to keep it. As she began her ascent second floor a loud THUD came to her ears. She sharply turned around and immediately searched the area for anything that could have fallen. She didn't want Mrs. Macready to get on her case later. Looking in each room, she soon stumbled across a room that she had missed before. Opening the door, she stepped in the doorway and stared at the object on the far end of the room. Closing the door behind her before she walked over to the large object that was covered by a sheet.

She stared at it for a long while before she grabbed it and pulled it off. She gasped at the beautifully crafted wardrobe. Alexandria ran her hands over the fine carvings in the deep apple wood of the wardrobe and smiled. She opened the wardrobe door to find it filled with fur coats. She shrugged and began to close the door, but a cool breeze stopped her. She looked at the windows, they looked like they had not been open for years so she quickly turned back to the wardrobe. She reached in to feel for the back, but she found none. Pulling her hand out quickly she took a deep breath. She wondering why there was no back because the wardrobe did not seem that big to her.

"Okay, its just a big wardrobe. That's why you couldn't find the back."

She told herself before she reached back into to once again search for the back. As soon as she took a step in, she was grabbed by her arm and pulled. She fell back on to the floor and looked up at the woman looming over her.

"There's no reason to be climbing into a wardrobe miss. " Mrs. Macready turned from her and shut the door to the wardrobe. "Come on, I could use your help with the grocery bags."

Alexandria nodded and followed her down to the carriage. After unloading the bags, Alexandria left Mrs. Macready to make the dinner. She wandered down the halls and through the library, just as she had done a few hours before. She started to go back up to the third floor but stopped when she heard Mrs. Macready's voice from the kitchen.

"Miss, why don't you change out of that uniform for supper?"

"Yes, Mrs. Macready."

Alexandria rushed up the steps and to the third floor spare room before she could be caught again. She walked up to the wardrobe once more. Looking back to make sure she was alone, she began to look for the back again. She began feeling through the fur coats as she stepped in, finding it getting colder as she moved further into the wardrobe. As she searched, she found herself looking out at a complete white scenery. Taken aback, she was drawn to it and so continued out into the snow-covered land. As she walked along she failed to pay attention and tripped, failing straight into the snow.
