Chapter 3

I had agreed to their proposal. I would stay until tomorrow morning. They escorted me up to a room. It was a one room with a bathroom and a microwave on top of a table. The table also held a cup, packets of instant coffee, sugar and cream packets. All resting on a laced place mat. The twin bed was neatly tucked away in a corner and a flowery comforter covered it. Beside the bed were a small table, a digital clock and a few cheap dollar store novels sat on top of it. Resting on an entertainment center on the opposite wall was a television and a few VHS tapes. The walls were lined with light pink walls and the part where the wall met the ceiling had a flowery border.

If I was a normal guest, I would probably have put my suitcase on the bed, but I just sat down on the flowery comforter, pondering what had happened. I looked at the digital clock on the bedside table; it was 1:10 already.

About ten minutes passed and I heard a nock on my door. "Come in, its unlocked" The door clicked open and the same woman I saw before, (esme? Did they call her?) Walked in. she had a tray of bread, and soup.

"You should eat. This is some of my daughters homemade soup." She handed me the tray, and then she said "Gabriel and Vivian would like to see you down stairs at 10:00 tonight."

I nodded. And gratefully ate the soup, I didn't realize until now that I was so hungry. I quickly cleaned the bowl and I saved the soup for later. By this time it was 1:30 and I was bored, so I decided to leave my room and walk around. Maybe ill find something interesting I thought to myself.

As I walked around the large inn I realized that I was not going to find anything of much interest. And then I heard voices coming from the other side of a door, I pressed my ears to it and listened. There appeared to be 7 or 8 people in the room, but I couldn't tell who was who. Just different tones.

"What if the girl has parents, we just can't take their daughter away it'll lead to an investigation, and we don't need another one of those!" a male voice said

"She seems old enough, she can leave her parents," another male voice, but this one seemed a bit younger than the last

"We can't just think of our selves here, we need to know what the girl wants to do" It was clear by now whom they were talking about.

"Maybe she isn't even one of us. Maybe we just have mistaken her." A female voice.

"Maybe. But what will we do if we did mistake, we cant let our secret out again" a mans voice.

"ULF! You know we are never to speak of that dreadful year." A woman's voice.

"I was just saying…" the same mans voice as before.

"Why, hello. I don't suppose your testing the door thickness are you?" A deep voice said behind me. I looked up, he wasn't that tall, but he still was taller than me, his skin was an olive color and he had tawny hair.

It was short-ish and wild. His eyes were deep as the sea and a vibrant shade of green. He looked about sixteen or seventeen, about my age (I was sixteen)

"Oh, I suppose not. Sorry." I could feel my face turn a bright shade of red.

"Its okay. Hey, are you the one girl every one has been talking about lately? You don't look from around here, yet I can smell wolf on you."

"Uh, I suppose so." I replied back to him.

"My name is Ivan, but people around here just call me Eric" he held his hand out in greeting.

"I'm Kira" I smiled and shook his hand, feeling braver than I was.

Suddenly the door opened and Vivian walked out. She looked over at us and said "oh, hello, Eric, have you met Kira?"

"Yeah we just met." He smiled down at me.

"Ok then, Eric, will you show Kira around the house? So that she can get to know it better?" Vivian said, facing him.

"Sure" he looked at me, and he smiled.
