Secrets Often Lie Behind Closed Doors
Part 1
Renton couldn't remember much except falling out the Nirvash. Eureka had been screaming. He needed to help her, but he couldn't he was falling. Then Eureka and Nirvash started falling too.
"Eureka!!" Renton had screamed. Then he fell to the ground and hit a stone path. Smack! Eureka was still upset, screaming, and falling. He had to help her but couldn't. Renton blacked out.
Later he jolted awake, he was in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room.
"Eureka I have to find Eureka" he thought, but his head was still muddled from hitting on the ground so hard. Renton stood up and stumbled over to the door. Before he could open it, the door flew open.
"Sorry about that I didn't know you were awake" Renton stares at the man who had opened the door blankly, "I'm Remy"
"Where's Eureka?"
"Your blue haired friend? She's fine"
"Where is she?"
"Oh just in the room next door, but she's still sleeping. I don't think I ever caught your name"
"Oh, I'm Renton"
"Well Renton feel free to walk around, just don't open closed doors"
"Ok I wouldn't do that"
"I suggest you look at the gardens, they're beautiful this time of year. Oh and the west corridor is completely off limits to everyone"
"Um ok, I'll go to the gardens" Renton says slinking off a little fearful of Remy now.
Renton sits in the garden. The flowers are all in bloom, he's taking it in when he notices something moving among the plants. "Hello?" Renton calls. The figure goes running off, Renton notices it's a girl with dark teal hair. "Wait come back!" The girl violently shakes her head and continues to run across the garden at an inhuman speed and into the house.
"Renton?" a soft voice calls. Renton turns around.
"Oh Eureka, hi"
"Are you ok Renton? You have that cut on your cheek" Eureka reaches out and touches Renton's cheek, he blushes.
"Um Eureka did you see that girl?"
"Girl?"
"Yeah she had teal hair and ran really fast"
"Are you sure you didn't imagine her?"
"No, I'm sure she's real"
"Why don't you go ask Remy about her, I want to stay in the gardens"
"Ok bye Eureka" Renton walks into the house and promptly runs into Remy. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"
"Oh no it's quite alright" Remy brushes himself off.
"Is there anyone living here besides you?" Remy looks disgruntled at the question.
"Why do you ask?"
"I thought I saw this girl" Remy sighs,
"I thought I told her to stay in her room"
"So she is real"
"Of course she's real, and since you know about her I suppose you can meet her, follow me" Remy turns and starts up a very long staircase, Renton follows. Eventually the two come to the top and then walk down a hallway to a closed door. "Flight dear, I'm coming in, with Renton" he opens the door inside is an exquisite bed, dresser, bookshelf, and other room things.
"Is there anyone in here?" Renton asks then notices a lump under the covers.
"Flight? Are you awake?" the girl Renton had seen earlier poked her head out from under the covers. "I thought I told you not to not to leave the room while there were people here" Flight bows her head, signaling that she's sorry. "Ok I understand, Renton you can stay with her, I don't know how exciting she'll be, I've never actually heard her talk, but I'm sure that when she does finally speak her voice will be beautiful" Remy walks out and shuts the door behind him. Flight gets up out of bed dragging the entire comforter with her. She stares out the window.
"I didn't mean to make Mr. Remy mad" she says softly. "I just wanted to be in the gardens, I love this time of year"
"Wait you just spoke, I thought you didn't speak"
