Blood Lust Or Love?
Chapter 5: Exploring and Suspcions
---------------------------------------
(Rei's POV)
I had been kind of confused by the note saying that work had summoned them, but of course I didn't know what they did for work, but I made a mental note to ask them later. But for right now me and Max want to explore this place. Just like Max I can't wait to see the place, but I'm just not as showing of it.
"Come on Rei!!! C'mon," Max exclaimed yanking my arm as he headed to the hall.
I could tell he badly wanted to search the place. He had gone on and on about some cool things he was hoping to see in the place while we had eaten breakfast. I'd be lying if some of his excitement hadn't rubbed off on me but I sure hoped I wasn't -this- bad.
"I'm coming Max. Just calm down a bit. You're going to rip my arm off," I said before he let go and smiled apologetically. "Alright, how about we start upstairs first? It seems to have the most rooms."
"Sure!" ^_^
So me and Max headed upstairs taking in all the rooms. Each didn't seem to have any lights except for a few lamps and candles. Each were very elaborately decorated. There were many bedrooms each having a four post bed, fireplace, elegant rugs and furniture in them. Each bathroom had beautiful porcelain bathtubs. The old fashioned kind that had legs on it. Yet there were also showers in some that had what seemed to be built-in bathtubs. I liked those the best. The built-in bathtubs had a step going up to them, and had candles at the corners and they just looked great to relax in. I was definitely going to try out one of these later on.
As we moved on down the halls we found libraries that had wall to wall books. These of course didn't interest Max much so we didn't stay in them too long, but they seemed beautiful to me with their plush couches, and the chairs in front of the fire. If I had been a reader I would find the libraries very homey. Though as we searched through the mansion that eerie feeling never left me. I didn't know what it was, but something about the place still creeped me out. I just didn't know what.
--------------------------
(Max's POV)
We looked upstairs and found bedrooms, bathrooms, and libraries. Nothing all that great. Though I made mental notes to come back to the bedrooms and try out the beds. Some looked really bouncy, and comfy too. Sure the rooms were nice and all but really boring. There didn't seem to be much around.
"Ugh... this is SO boring!!!" I said collapsing at the top of the stairs after we had finished looking around upstairs. "Where are all the cool rooms?!? Or the secret passages? Or the dungeons? Or anything cool?!?"
"Max, we've only looked around upstairs there's still two other floors to go. Not to mention outside as well," Rei said sitting down beside me.
"HEY!! YEAH!!! Lets go look on the next floor!!!!"
I hopped onto my feet and before Rei could stop me I slid down the banister to the main floor. I cried with delight as I flew down the railing.
"Rei you GOTTA try that its SO cool!" I said beaming up at my raven haired friend.
He looked kind of nervous, but excited at the same time. It didn't take to long before he too slid down the railing. He laughed when he landed, and we both agreed to do that more often. Then we set out to look around again. This time we had more luck. This one room not too far away from the kitchen seemed to be more modern. It was classy looking like all the rest, but it actually had fun stuff too.
"This is -definitely- Tyson's room," I said as I headed straight for the arcade stands.
There were about three arcade games in the corner along with a pool table. On the other side of the room was a very comfy looking set of couches with a tv that seemed to be hooked up to a game system. I was gonna be spending a lot of my time in this room if I had any say in it. And if I don't I knew I'd whine until I'd get it. "C'mon Rei lets play some games!!!" I said happily as I pulled him towards one of the arcade stands.
------------------------------
(Rei's POV)
Me and Max must have played games for a good few hours because before we knew it we heard Tyson's voice yelling for us. Max perked up and ran towards the door, but I just took my time getting there. It wasn't that I didn't want to see them, I just we had been on our feet nearly the whole time and I just wanted to rest.
I had just made it in time to see Max hit Kai for his rude comment in the note. I couldn't help but smirk as Kai defended himself saying it was true. As usual Max stuck his tongue out at our slate-haired friend before turning to Tyson.
"So how was work?" I asked joining them.
"Work...?" Tyson asked. A look of confusion overwhelming his face.
I watched as Kai elbowed him in the ribs and glare at him before facing me. His face was calm and collected, but something in his eyes told me not to trust what he was going to say.
"Work was work. Nothing to get excited about," Kai said what seemed to be sincerely.
"Oh? What do you and Tyson do?" I asked tilting my head to the side.
I noticed Kai look off to the side like he always did when he had to think up something fast and make it convincing. I could almost see him sizing things up in his mind as I watched him. He was hiding something. I just know he is.
"We work in construction. Help to build buildings and such."
"Ohhhh so that's why yer gone all day and back at night," Max said spilling into their lie.
"Yup. We're good old hard laborers," Tyson said proudly, putting a fist to his chest in pride.
------------------------------
(Kai's POV)
After returning home from 'work' me and Tyson found the house to be empty. Tyson had a little fit thinking they found out and ran off. But I assured him he was just being stupid and that they were probably looking around. I of course was right, and soon enough after Tyson's shouting they turned up.
By the looks of it they had been in the games room, which wouldn't surprise me since Max was like Tyson and needed some kind of stimulus.
I couldn't believe Tyson when he faltered at the work question. I had merely gone over things with him not ten minutes ago and he already forgot. I sighed inwardly before answering for him. It didn't seem to be enough though as Rei questioned further. Grant you they were all plausible questions, I could see the suspiciousness in Rei's eyes. His gaze upon me just radiated distrust. Yet a more unsure distrust. He knows we're hiding something, but because we're his friends he's trusting us. For now...
I had to keep myself from laughing aloud as my thoughts drifted to the scene when Tyson and I presented our surprise to them. I wanted so much to just get it over with just like Tyson did, but I knew all too well that they needed time still. They just weren't ready yet. By the weeks end they should be ours. They -will- be ours.
