Note: Okay so last time Kaoru was tricked by Dr. Lavon and blacked out. This chapter is gonna bring a big shock so be ready!
Chapter 7: Unexpected News
Kaoru woke up again on a bed in a large sunny room.
"What the..." she mumbled, looking about. This was not what she was used to. She was in a large king-sized bed with so many pillows she thought she could drown in all of their feathers. She was in a circular room with windows all around except for behind her bed; all with window seats and none with bars. There was a larger and newer desk next to one window and a large cupboard by another. In the middle of the room was a large table with a giant castle sitting on it. It was beautiful. There were four towers at each end and a larger one in the middle. As Kaoru crept closer for a better look she saw two small latches. She opened them and the castle opened to revel hundreds of rooms. Kaoru gasped. Little dolls were everywhere. Some were maids cleaning and others were gentlemen talking. But there was only one doll that caught her attention. It was leaning by a mini castle just like her. It was in a tower just like her. She lifted a shaking hand and picked up the doll. It was an exact image of her.
"That is a model of this castle. With dolls that are identical to everyone who lives or works here. They were made by our magician and move when the really ones move. Go to the rooms the really ones go to too," said a cold voice behind her. She turned around to see a man sitting in a large chair in the far comer of the room. He sat in a chair surrounded by other chairs that surrounded a table. He wore a tight green suit and his black eyes made Kaoru want to disappear on the spot. And his black hair and blood red scars didn't make her feel any better.
"W...who are you?" Kaoru whispered.
"Me? I am Master Ausklang. I am the one who brought you here. Now, see that big hallway? You can't go there. See that middle tower? You can't go there and it won't open. Got it?" he asked, pointing at the middle tower.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your door is unlocked. The windows aren't barred. You can go anywhere in this castle except those two places. You may like the library and the maids. I must say they're very kind. Do you have any questions?"
"Yes. Where is Dr. Lavon and why are the windows not barred?" Kaoru asked, standing up.
"Dr. Lavon is on her way now with your test results. And Dr. Satrin said you lied looking out the windows but I thought it must be hard to see with those ugly bars in the way so when we moved you, we brought you to a tower without them."
"But aren't you worried I'll try and escape?"
"Oh you won't be trying to escape my dear. All of your windows face the sea correct?" Kaoru nodded, "But we are not on the sea, we are on land. We are in the East Tower. If you try and jump out the window, you'll plunge to your death. We are fifty stories high with jagged rocks down beneath." He smiled, "And there are no vines to crawl down with. Straight soild rocks. Oh and..." but he never finished. Dr. Lavon came rushing in and when Kaoru glanced at the castle, she saw the doll of Dr. Lavon do the same thing. She looked just like before except her hair was very mess but still in a bun, she had makeup on kaoru hadn't noticed earlier, and instead of the navy swimsuit she wore a long pale blue dress with an apron tied messily around her thin waist.
"Ausklang... I was right. She is," Dr. Lavon said, gasping for breath. She was breathing so hard you would have thought she ran a marathon.
"Ah... Dr. Lavon. We were just talking about you. Please, sit down," Ausklang said as he ran his hand over one of the chairs.
"Sorry Ausklang," her light pink lips answered, "I need to go and tend to the other girls but I just wanted to tell you the results of the Etsam test we took earlier."
"Don't tell them to me. Tell them to Ms. Kaoru here. It is her business after all."
"Very well then. Kaoru," she started, turning towards Kaoru who was leaning against her new bed, "You're pregnant."
