"I can't believe you didn't tell me you did that!" Dennis fussed at Evelyn
as she drove, following Ben Moss' car. "Were you ever gonna tell me?"
"Yes... of course, it just slipped my mind... I swear!" Evy whined. "I... I'd never lie to you." She whispered as she focused on the road ahead of her, Dennis just looked out the window remorseful.

Ben Moss looked into the rearview mirror, as he gazed back at Evy's car, an evil smile grew upon his lips.
Back at her apartment, which resembled a messy museum, Kalina rushed around, searching through her desk drawers, rummaging through old scrolls and papers. She stopped and looked around with a panicked look on her face, she reached over and slipped a large, ancient, leather-bound book into her satchel.
The two cars pulled up to a odd looking structure that seemed to be located in the middle of nowhere, but they weren't the only ones there...
"That's strange..." the lawyer whispered as he got out of his car and noticed the black car that was parked in front of his.
Dennis and Evy followed Mr. Moss to the weird house, then they almost stop breathing when the realized who was waiting at the front door.

"Well... look what the cat dragged in..." Serena said in her usual pessimistic tone as she glared at Dennis and Evy.
"Wha-what are you doing here?" Dennis muttered as he looked at her astonished.
"I was gonna ask you the same thing." She smarted back.
"Uh... can we discuss this inside, please?" the lawyer asked eagerly.
"Sure." Dennis said, he pulled the weird looking key out of his pocket, slowly he inserted it into the small opening in the side of the house.
As Dennis turned the key, strange noises were heard from the inside of the house, then slowly the metallic circles on the door began to spin. Suddenly the lights switched on, exposing the entire house to them... it was completely glass.
"Why does this all seem familiar?" Evy mumbled in shock as she walked to the clear wall and peered in.
The glass doors slid open in front of Dennis, he just looked around curiously, too surprised to step inside. Serena pushed by him, Dennis jerked back, his arms and hands in the air... making sure he didn't touch her. Serena stepped into the glass doorway, Dennis and Evy slowly followed her. As soon as they stepped in front of the two main doors, they slid open, the three peered into the large room, their jaws almost on the floor.
"This way please..." Ben Moss said, walking into the room as they just stood in the doorway.
Serena slowly stepped into the room, gawking at the walls and objects that lined the floor. Dennis looked behind them, looking over the doors they had come in through... somewhere deep down he wished he was going through those doors, instead of the ones Evy was now leading him through... into the house.
"This place is amazing!" Serena muttered as she looked over the antiques and statues in the hallway.
Dennis looked over at Evy suspiciously.
"Why would someone want to live in a containment cube?" Evelyn asked confused as she stood next Dennis by the doors.
The lawyer looked back and forth at the three nervously.
"Trust me... you get used to this stuff after a while..." Serena stated, tapping on the glass walls. "I know I have..."
"What do you mean?" Dennis asked curiously.
"Huh? Oh-nothing..." Serena suddenly changed the subject. "So you two get this place?" she asked confused.
"I guess... have no idea why though..." Evy whispered as she looked at the walls, tracing the spells that were engraved with her finger.
"Great! Now we get to live in a containment cube... lucky us!" Dennis said ungrateful.
"Were you born this pessimistic... or is it an acquired trait?" Serena asked him in a cocky tone.
"Acquired, took many years of being ignored and unappreciated to get me like this!" Dennis stated, almost proud.
The lawyer walked into the next room, the three began to follow him.
"Wow!" Evy gasped as she stared down at the beautiful floor, the center ring was spinning perpetually.
Dennis gazed up at the stained glass ceiling above the floor, he almost lost himself in its beauty... but then he was brought back by the sound of Ben Moss commenting on the room's design.
"Beautiful isn't it, a living work of art..." the lawyer quoted.
Serena looked at the floor, noticing the symbols that the rings were decorated with. "I guess Cyrus was really overprotective of his house..." she whispered to herself.
"Uh, Mr. Rafkin, Ms. Chase, we still have some papers to sign in the library, then I would be happy to take you on a tour of the house..." Mr. Moss suggested, Dennis and Evy nodded.
"Yes... of course, it just slipped my mind... I swear!" Evy whined. "I... I'd never lie to you." She whispered as she focused on the road ahead of her, Dennis just looked out the window remorseful.
