I shouldered my satchel and headed for my new house. It was a small 2 bedroom home. purrfect for someone just starting to live on their own. I had just turned 18 a few days ago and my gift was this new house. But to put it bluntly I got kicked out on my own birthday. I had mixed feelings about leaving and moving into a new house, but it was a fresh start.

I looked the house up and down. The house was a dark purple with black trim. For one thing, i did like the color scheme. According to my mom the property the house was built on was where the old family manor used to be. The Mansion had burned down about 50 years back and the family decided recently to build a small house in its place. The mansions land was large, but most of it has gone wild. so, I have a forest for a back yard. That fact made me love the place.

I reached the door. it was made from a salvageable piece of wood from the mansion. It had the old family crest etched into it. many of the doors and panels were salvaged from the old place. The reason I got the house in the first place was because i was the only one not afraid of it. there are a lot of rumors and stories about my family. especially with the ones about the old estate being haunted. Even my family believed it was haunted, but not me.

I unlocked the door and went inside. there was also some salvaged furniture and some replica furniture made for the house, so it was fully furnished, plus some modern items. The original mansion was built way before any rumors started. the height of the rumors about the family was around the late 1880's. The year now was 2015. that mansion lasted till about 50 years ago with some fixing up here and there.

I shrugged and went to the room I had chosen as my bedroom. Apparently the room had a walk in closet. I wanted to know if that was true. I walked inside and immediately found the door that would lead into the closet. I turned the door handle and opened the door. Inside was definitely not a closet. Inside was a whole room. Not an ordinary room, but a ballroom.

I blinked in surprise. It did not make any sense. Most of the house could fit into that room alone. Curiosity overcame me and I stepped into the room. I looked around the room in awe until it hit me. it looked like the old mansion ballroom. There were old photos of it and this looked the same. A little freaked I turned back to the door to leave, but the door was gone.

I stared at the wall where the door had been. what the hell? I stared for a few minutes before a voice startled me out of my panic causing me to freak even more.

"Miss?"

I twirled around only to be face to face with a tall man dressed as a butler with black hair and red eyes. I stared at him. I did not know what to do. they did not exactly teach you what to do if you end up in a completly different place in school. Before I cold do much else he soke again.

"I dont believe we were expecting any guests today. So, who might you be?" He asked.

"Ki...Kiara." I stutered.

"Well, Miss Kiara, what busness do you have here? much less in the ball room and not at the front door?"

"I.. I dont know. I walked into the closet in my new room and i was suddenly here. The door was right there but it vanished!" I said franticly pointing at the wall.

The man put a gloved hand to his chin in thought. "I guess I will have to talk to my master on this matter. In the meantime will you let me escort you to one of the guest rooms?"

"Sure." I responded.

"Follow me." He turned on his heels and headed across the room to the stairs.

I followed him down some halls to a room. He left me in the room while he went to speak with his master. Whoever that was. The room he left me in looked a lot like my own. Dark purple victorian erra walpaper…. weired. I pulled my phone out and looked at the screen and it read No Signal. Great. I sliped it back into my pants pocket.

What the hell is going on? No one has a butler anymore! so, where the hell am I? I huffed as i sat on the bed. Before i could do much more contemplateing there was a soft knock on the door.

"Miss Kiara? May I enter?" It was the butler.

"yes." I said

He entered the room and spoke. "My master wishes to speak with you."
