Mystery, Friendship, and Romance
Chapter One: Rumors

I stare at her, her brown eyes searching mine, the thunder roar heavily in the night-sky, the soft breeze made our hairs move slightly. My angel held the tip of the knife close to my chest.
"If you're going to kill me then do so, that won't change anything," I spoke in a mellow voice, her eyes narrow, then she smirks, causing my heart to thump unevenly. Without hesitation, I grab her small cold hand, and jab the knife straight into my chest, causing my eyes to widen from the sudden pain. Her eyes widen, while I fall onto my knees, and smile at her.
"See, it won't change anything,"

I leaned my head against the edge of the glass window, watching the strong wind blows swiftly in the shadowy trees, making the branches sway with it.
Another year of loneliness. Another year of not having anyone with me. When was the last time I had company? Maybe when I was a child.
I kept staring the cold night. I touch my face and shivered from the feel of my skin. I felt a tear roll down my cheek.
'Take her out of here,'
'We don't want her,'
'Who would adopt a girl like that?'
'Sorry Mai, but no one wants to adopt you.' those dark thoughts plague me once again.
I move my hand and press it on the cold glass. Shaking my head, from the light of the lamp, I see a brown carriage pull up.
'Who's that?' I thought, looking down, I saw a tall man with dark hair, wearing a dark jacket getting out of the front seat, and goes up towards the door, and opens it. There a younger man steps out. A tall man with dark hair as well a bit tussle, from what I can see, he wears a dark jacket and gloves. His eyes scan around my home.
'No one has come to this place in three years.' I move closer, then my eyes narrow when his eyes landing on me.
'No,' I move away from the window, placing my hand on my heaving chest. Without a second thought, I move rapidly towards the first floor. Using the spiral stairs that lead down to the opening large old stage.
I hide behind the red curtain and grasp the dusty cloth.
'Oh God, please don't let them enter, please don't let them enter.' I prayed in my head. Lifting my gaze, I see the two strange men enter. While they spoke, I move rapidly away from them and headed towards my secret tunnel. I lift the secret door up, that is under the rug and went inside. Rushing my steps, I went down the small stairs. My eyes glance at the lit candles, and I tiptoed to blow them off.
'Please, I hope, wish that they won't stay here for so long. I don't like company. People hurt, and I don't want to be hurt again.' I went down the hallway, picking up my dirty dress up. I pass the puddle and shivered from the cold water of it, since I wore no shoes.
Finally making it to my domain, which is huge, with one bed in the middle, with white sheets, one body length mirror covered with an old sheet on the right side. The room is filled with candles.
I went towards my bed, and grab my blanket, and went under it. My safe haven.
'No one will harm me. No one will reject me if no one sees me.' My mind screamed as I closed my eyes, shivered, but for a reason that the younger man flashed into my mind. I squinted my face, trying to get him out.
'What are they doing in my house?'

I get out of my carriage, the night is strangely pitch dark, the stars shine brilliantly and the night air is crisp cold. I gasp out, seeing my own breath. I place my cold, gloved hands inside my pocket.
"We are here Master Oliver." I heard Lin speak, while he bows.
"I can see that Lin, please come in with me, even though I'm the new caretaker, I need to adjust to the place," I ask of him. Lin gave the old opera house one look. The opera house is dark, only two floors, but with many rooms. The front is plain with an eerie welcoming, bricks stack up as a walkway. Two golden doors are in the front.
"Of course, sir," he vows. I went behind the carriage and picked up my suitcase, and my umbrella. Lin helps me with the other luggage.
"Sir, how in the world did you end up being the caretaker of this old house?" he asks me while we headed towards the mansion. I frowned, looking up, in doing so, in one of the windows on my right, I see a figure, quickly moving away.
'No one should be living here.' I thought.
"Is there anyone living here?" I asked, avoiding Lin question. Lin shakes his head.
"Not that I know of, but there have been rumors."
"Rumors?" that gets my attention. Lin shakes his head. We stop at the front of the door, and he takes out the keys, to open the door.
"Yes, a woman, a phantom woman that used to live here many years ago. She used to seduce men, and then she would kill them off." Finally opening the door, we entered. Lin place my things down and went to light up the candles that are on the side.
"Exactly why would she kill them?"
"Don't know, rumors have it that she just hated men, apparently she was born deformed, and her parents abandoned her in this old place. It's been heard that she went crazy from being alone, she started to kill and gather the men's corpses and hide them in the basement," he explains as he blew off the match leaving behind the smoke. I rose a brow at his explanation.
"Has anyone found these corpses?"
"No,"
"Then don't believe anything is rumored around," I told him. Lin didn't say anything to me, but turns towards the large room. There're many seats going down three roads, and in front of it, a large old dusty stage, with two large elegant curtains. There was a second floor, that has balconies, old broken balconies, that once stood out for the high class. The walls built out of bricks and elegant designs of angels and such. Large painted windows, with different colors. I shivered at the eerie atmosphere."
"Last time this place ran was three years ago, wow, it looks like centuries, are you sure you want to take care of this place?" Lin asks, turning to face me.
"I am sure, since you been here a couple of times, where are the rooms?" I asked, moving my feet towards my right, not taking my eyes from the stage.
"They are in the far back behind the stage. I think the fireplace still works," he murmurs the last part. I nodded and turned my gaze towards the corner of the stage, to see a black shadow move swiftly.
'Well, this should be fun,'
"Ah, Yasuhara and Housho shall be coming tomorrow morning to fix the lights, as well show you the blueprints of this old place," Lin explains. I nodded, keeping my eye on where I saw the shadow.
"One thing," I asked, turning to face him.
"Yes?"
"If my family asks where I am, please do me a favor and tell them you haven't seen me." Lin raises a brow, confused by my request. I turn my gaze back at the stage and cross my arms and smile.
"Why?" he finally asks. I shrug, turning to head for my room.
"Because I don't want to be bothered with useless things. All I want is peace."
Not much, so this is another story. I hope you all like it. Let me know should I continue..? I will work on my other two.. I just have writer's block. T.T
