Chapter 3- This is Your House!
After they left baggage claim, the group went outside to get a taxi to the house.
"Okay, since we're a big group, we'll go in two or three different cabs," said Evee. Everyone nodded.
"So, Evee, you, me, Marik, and Yugi can go in one," said Cora.
"Tristan, Joey and I can go together," said Tea.
"Okay, then Kaiba, you and Mokuba go in the third," said Evee. Kaiba just nodded. His mind was still on Krystal. They walked outside and hailed three taxies. Cora, Evee, Marik, and Yugi went in the first one so that the girls could point out directions to their house. Once they started moving, Marik turned to Cora.
"So," he started. Cora looked at him. "You've been to the Valley of the Kings?"
"Well, it's not like I went there legally or anything," said Cora. The boys looked shocked as Evee began to laugh. The taxi driver seemed more interested in the baseball game he had tuned the radio to than anything a bunch of kids had to say.
"You're not a criminal, are you?" Yugi asked. Cora shook her head.
"No," she said. "I was having a sleep over with some of my friends and at about midnight, we got really bored and since I lived near the Valley of the Kings, we gave ourselves a late-night tour. We're not criminals,". Marik and Yugi sighed with relief as Evee was just coming out of her laughing fit. The taxi driver seemed hypnotized by the ball game.
"Yet," Cora added. Everyone, except the clueless driver, started laughing hysterically.
"Did you go into any tombs?" asked Marik. Cora nodded.
"Who's?" asked Yugi. Evee was still laughing.
"King Tutankamen's," said Cora.
"Isn't his supposed to be cursed?" asked Marik.
"I'm not dead yet," said Cora. Then, they noticed the driver had turned and asked them a question.
"Come again," said Evee, now down to small, controllable giggles.
"Right or left?" asked the annoyed driver who's name they'd all forgotten.
"Right," said Evee.
"Then go straight, left, straight, and continue on until you come to a hill," added Cora.
"Go up the hill?" asked the driver.
"Yup," said Evee. "It's the house on top of the hill,". The diver nodded and turned the volume up on the radio as he began to drive again. The laughter must have made the game hard to hear. The driver took Cora and Evee's directions and finally pulled up in the house's driveway.
"There you go," said the driver, giving the group the only smile they'd ever seen him let out. They figured he was happy to get rid of them. They stepped out and Cora paid the driver as the others got their bags. Cora and Evee didn't bring anything since this was their house. They met on the front lawn with the others. The taxies pulled away as Cora and Evee watched their friends stare at the house in awe. It was huge. It wasn't a house. It was a mansion.
"This is your house!" Joey exclaimed.
"Yeah," replied Evee as if it was obvious.
"Come on," said Cora. "We'll show you the inside,". Evee and Cora opened the huge oak doors and lead everyone inside the entrance hall. It wasn't too long nor too short. It didn't look too formal. White tiles covered the floor and paintings lined the white walls. There was a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
"We know it looks like were two, self-absorbed, rich snobs," said Evee.
"But trust us, the rooms are lot more casual," finished Cora. She lead them into the living room. It was a big room with a bay window. The dark blue curtains were pulled back revealing the front lawn. The carpet was a lighter blue than the curtains as were the walls. A light blue couch sat in front of a small coffee table. Against the wall, facing the couch was a flat-screen TV. The girls smiled at their friend's reactions.
"Come on," said Evee. "We'll show you the bedrooms,". She led the group back into the entrance hall. At the end of the hall was a grad staircase. It had two sets of stairs, both curved and leading to the second floor. Evee smiled as the came to the top of the staircase and into the upstairs hallway. This hallway had white carpeting instead of tile. The walls were white, but there weren't as many pictures as downstairs. Evee led them to the first door on the left.
"Evee's room," explained Cora, seeing the grin on Evee's face. Evee pushed the door open and flicked on the lights. The walls were red with posters of rock bands scattered among them. Evee's bed was pushed against the back wall, underneath a window. On the wall to the left, there was a huge bookcase. From the floor up, there was about three centimeters of air separating the ceiling from the bookcase. And it was filled. The ceiling was a mural of Dracula's castle. Something to remind Evee of her hometown, Transylvania. The carpet was red and had a huge black rug in the middle. Evee smiled.
"Like it?" she asked. Everybody nodded.
"How many of those books have you read?" asked Marik.
"Almost all of them except for the ones on the top shelf," said Evee. "Come on, Cora. We'll show them your room,"
"All right," said Cora.
"You'll like it," said Evee smiling at the group, as Cora led them to the room across the hall. She opened the door and everyone gasped.
