Chapter 2:

The Dark Mansion

Lucy stood astonished at the sight of the five story mansion. The gate was tall enough, seeming to be 10 feet tall, but the building might as well have been a sky scraper. Even though the building was breath taking, it was all covered in vines of black roses. Midnight was already halfway down the front yard, when he noticed a certain sexy blonde was not following him. "Hey!" He turned around, seeing her standing passed the gate, dumbfounded. "I would think you would atleast like to see the INSIDE of the mansion, but the outside is enough, I suppose..."

"NO! I WANT TO SEE THE INSIDE!" Lucy ran to where Midnight stood, and Midnight became even more amused. He chuckled, but not like the sinister laugh he had shown at the fight. No, this time his laughter showed another emotion, happiness? No, Lucy couldn't figure it out, but she knew he was not the same man she had just seen an hour ago.

They entered the mansion, and what Lucy had seen was not what she had expected. There was dust everywhere, and all the furniture looked as though they belonged in the 1840's. Everything was black, which did not make Lucy very happy. Yes, it was big and wide open, but it was not clean. It looked as though it had not been clean in centuries. and Lucy could hardly breath without sucking in some specks of dust.

"Would you like to see your room?" Midnight turned around, staring straight into Lucy's eyes.

"What do you mean? Why do I get a room?" Lucy was puzzeled. She had no idea how twisted her fate had become.

"You must live with me from here on out, unless you want to reject my offer and die right here and now." Midnight's glare grew serious. He did not want to kill his new toy just yet, but after what she just saw she might report it to the police, and that chance he shall not take.

Lucy thought for a moment. She did not want to die, especially if he would be the murderer. She knew she had to follow along, just until she figured out a way to escape Midnight's claws. Her mind was set. "As long as you don't hurt me, I'll stay." Lucy was confidant that Midnight won't harm the daughter of the Heartfillia family. She was worth 10 million big ones, and was a prodigue daughter.

Midnight knew he had captured Lucy, and he was just shaking in excitement at the fun he would have with her. She had no clue that Midnight was thinking of ways to kill her. He was in truth, a horrible and cruel sadist. Lucy would be his eighth victim in the month, but he knew he had to value Lucy's life way more than his first victim, Levy. He was going to let Lucy live for atleast five more months. Midnight had no clue how much that decison would change his whole being.

They began to walk up the fleet of stairs, and soon Lucy grew tired. Lucy fell onto the floor, exhausted. "How much futher?" Lucy whined.

Midnight continued walking up the stairs until he made it to th top. He had lost sight of Lucy, but decided she would call if she needed help.

Lucy looked around for a moment, and noticed Midnight was no where to be found. "Midnight? Where are you? I'm LOST!" Lucy was tired of such a big house, and just wanted a small one story house. Out of no where, Midnight appeared in front of Lucy, holding a hand out to her to help her up.

"Do I have to hold your hand like a child?" Midnight muttered. Lucy grew red as Midnight helped her to her feet. He, in fact, did hold her hand all the way to her room.

Why are his hands so cold? Lucy wondered, trying to figure out who or what Midnight was.

He led Lucy down a dark musky hallway until they came to a stop. infront of a door that was painted white.

"This is your room. In case you do not know, we are on the third floor. The first floor consists of the dining room, kitchen, living room, and other small rooms. The second floor is just for entertaining needs. The third floor is just my guest area, The fourth floor is for sanitary needs, and the fifth floor is off limits to you." Midnight slowly opened the door, allowing a pink feeling emerge from the room. Lucy gasped as she walked in,

The walls were covered in rose pink wallpaper, and the bed was a frilly queen sized canopy bed. The sheets were detailed with red roses, and the background was rose pink. The room was spacious, and had lots of room, but for some reason there was only a bed. Lucy felt that the room was more fit for a princess, not a nerdy prodigue. "Whoa, this room is..." Lucy gawked at the princess bedroom, and was dumbfounded.

"Is it not to your liking?" Lucy was startled by the feminine voice that came from behind her. "I do hope that you like it." Midnight raised one brow as his scullery maid stood in the door way. "I am sorry, master, but I just wanted to have a oppurtunity to talk to the Miss'."

"Juvia, you are dismissed." Midnight grew annoyed and was about to slap Juvia across her face.

"But master-"

"I said you are dismissed." Midnight uttered, making Juvia turn around and leave her master as he requested. Lucy was surprised that Midnight did not kill Juvia, even though he seemed completely annoyed.

"Um... Do you mind if I ask you a question?" Lucy spoke up.

"Hmmm?" Midnight replied, seeming tired and bored.

"Does this place have a library?" Midnight was shocked at Lucy's question. He did not think Lucy was the type to read, she seemed mpre like a playgirl.

"As I said before, the second floor is for entertainment purposes. If I think about it, you more than likely want to read for entertainment." Lucy blushed slightly. She had not really paid any attention to Midnight's explanation, for she was to excited about what was behind the white door. "Dinner is at six. I want you to be there tonight, so I may introduce you to the help. For now, you can explore the house, but stay away from the fifth floor." Midnight yawned, and walked away.
