A girl answered the door. She had long reddish brown hair, with what looked like traces of gold in, and greyish blue eyes. She looked at Twist, somewhat questioning.
"Hey…Can I help you?" she asked and Twist removed her dark glasses. Her eye's immediately flickered from black to red. The girl noted her eyes and seemed to smile knowingly.
"What? You gonna stand there and stare at me all day? Or can I come in?" Twist snapped, arching a black eyebrow. The girls' expression changed, and became more distant and frosty.
"You can come in." she said, holding the door open wider, and indicated that she could enter.
"You're too kind." Twist remarked, walking in. It took her a moment to adjust from the bright light outside, to the darkened entrance hall of the mansion.
"Why thank-you." The girl commented, shutting the door a little too forcefully. She walked round to face Twist. "I'm Chiara. I'm guessing you'll want to see Xavier?" Twist nodded. "Fine. Follow me." she muttered, leading her down a few wood panelled and neatly furnished corridors.
There were a few people milling about, ranging in their ages. Twist spotted one girl with what looked like ruby red crystals on her face and arms. She frowned, and then noticed the guy she was talking to. He had blond hair and broad shoulders, though Twist could only see him from behind, he looked strangely familiar. She started towards him, when Chiara poked her arm to get her attention.
"Don't space out on me." she said, seemingly annoyed, and noticing Twist looking down the corridor. "You'll talk to people later. You gotta talk to Xavier first." she said, pushing in through the open door.
