*Faith's POV*
"Oh shit, we're on Elm Street," Doug said, surprised, as we followed Mom's car to the house that was on this very street.
It wasn't long when we stopped at a what looked to be a two story house. Like our old house, it was mostly stone but this one looked newer, almost like it was built only a few years ago. The tan and brown colors seemed to blend in quite nicely.
"Oh, that's the new house," Doug whispered as he turned off the ignition of the truck. "It looks nicer than expected."
"Damn, I was thinking the exact same thing," I said, most surprised.
"We'll definitely have to check it out," Doug suggested as he opened the door to get out of the truck.
"True that," I said, doing the same thing.
Mom and Dad were already standing at the driveway, talking again. They stopped when Doug and I walked towards them.
"Oh hey, good that you two made it here," Mom smiled as she lightly patted Doug on the shoulder. "Let's just go in and we'll discuss some things."
Mom and Dad led the way as Doug and I followed closely to them. The front door wasn't too far from us. It looked to be an elegant acacia wood with the glass looking simple but also quite fine.
Dad unlocked the door to this new house which only left me in awe, jaw dropped, eyes wide open, and just surprise at it. It was even hard to really kinda think straight.
I had to look around to really get my surroundings. The walls were painted a light gray that gave this house kinda a soft and simple feel to it. The spiral stairs were elegant but simple enough to not over fancy. The rails were a jet black color that messed well with the light gray carpet.
"Okay, this is honestly more incredible than I thought," I muttered, not entirely sure if anyone heard me.
"How about you kids check out upstairs," Mom suggested. "Then once we're finally settled in, we'll talk about some stuff."
Doug and I nodded as I went ahead and led the way. Despite my more curvy shape, I was surprisingly fast. Then again, I had known that ever since I first discovered it at age three.
The memory was just hilarious. Doug, who was eight at the time, was trying to catch me for a little chasing around game. I was too fast for him.
I refocused myself as I finally made it upstairs. The light and soft grey colored walls still continued through the hall. There were two doors, opposite of each other and something else further ahead.
"Sis, once again, you beat me to the second floor," Doug laughed from behind me.
I laughed along with him, remembering the memories. I was surprised that even to this day, I still beat him to something. But, something popped inside of my head.
"Well, the stairs are kinda narrow so I can't just get an unfair advantage," I smirked.
"Ditto."
We just laughed again. Damn, Doug surely did make me laugh when he had the chance, which was a lot of times.
"Alright, let's see what this is all about," I suggested.
"Yes you're right," he replied.
We walked to the two doors which lead to two rooms across from each other. We ended up taking a peek in each one, trying to decide which room to claim.
The one on the left looked quite big, however this time, the walls were painted a dark but soft colored green. There were two doors in the room adjacent of each other. At this point, it was already kinda obvious who would take this.
"Doug, it's all yours," I said as I turned to the room on the right.
It looked a bit smaller than the room on the left but that didn't matter to me. The walls were painted the most amazing shade of dark blue.
I was beyond pleased to see it and was about to look around a little bit when I heard a knock, sounding like someone was knocking the wall. I turned to see Doug who looked surprised.
"Sis, you should check out this area that's straight ahead," he said. "It's huge."
I went to leave my room, following Doug to the area straight ahead. I was certain that I didn't expect too much but when I walked in, oh in hell I was wrong.
This area had to at least combine my room and Doug's room into one, and maybe an extra square inch or so. The walls were painted a soft gray, much like downstairs but this place had more than enough room for the few things I remember having in our previous house.
"Okay, this is crazy huge," I said, looking around.
I was just about to look around this area some more when I heard some footsteps coming upstairs.
Doug and I retreated to our new rooms quickly then waited patiently for the movers. This was going to be interesting.
