Chapter 5
I was stunned at what he had just said. He wanted a girl like me? I started stammering.
"U...U…um." I stood up next to the bed pacing over to the mirror.
"Miss, I am sorry if there is any confusion but I do not have feelings towards you. I am merely suggesting that you seem like a strong, intelligent woman with a good head on your shoulders." He had stayed at the exact same place until he finished and left me in the room. I kept looking at every inch of the perfect side of my face. How beautiful I was compared to how I looked now. His shirt clung to my sides. The curtain that separated this room from the rest of his… lair was thick and heavy. I took the few paces to it and moved the curtain to let me go to the rest of the masked stranger's home.
There was a lake but ten feet from my and stairs to my right leading to an organ and a couch.
"You shouldn't be out here." His voice echoed around me. I looked around me to see nothing. Yet, I couldn't help but feel his green eyes on me from one of the many dark corners.
"Well the truth is I'm a little bit hungry and I was wondering what I could do?" I asked
to nowhere in particular. He stepped out of one of the corners and I could feel his breath down the nape of my neck.
"Well then I should probably show you around my home." He urged me to follow him into a mirror.
I was very hesitant. "You want me to go through a mirror? What do you think I am? Crazy?" He gave me a quick look that said Just trust me. He held out his rough hand and slid my own into it. He had the most exquisite home that I have ever seen. The halls are dark and a bit dusty but as we neared the first door, I could see the markings that suggested that he made this place himself.
"This will be your home from now on. I expect you to clean up around the house, as a fair trade for letting you stay with me. You may have the next few days resting if you like. I know how it is when you first come out of a place like that." Erik was eerily calm. After their tour of the house, he led her into the kitchen to make her some tea to help her sleep. He walked over to the table where Reyna was sitting. The lair seemed familiar, like a distant dream that she could not place. He handed her the teacup and left her in the room to drink her mint tea.
"Wait! Why aren't you having any?" She looked generally curious, as he turned around.
"I am sorry Madame, but I do not like eating or drinking in front of people. No if you will excuse me I have some work to do." He left once more and headed to the organ. Reyna finished her tea within ten minutes and, feeling drowsy went back into her room to fall asleep once more.
So what do you think? The more reviews and suggestions the faster I write!
