The New Rose

Chapter 14: Rose POV

I walked around for what seemed like forever and found my way to an abandoned house, it was surrounded by a little fence and had a garden gate. The garden gate had vines hanging off of it everywhere and had leaves attached to the vine, the gate had a little archway at the top and that was covered in vines as well, the house was a light green and had little windows that were shut and you could faintly see lacy white curtains surrounding the windows of the inside, you could barely see all of this because of the shutters. There was a garden surrounding the house, except there were no plants in there just weeds and grass also a few rocks with moss covering them. There was a little garden path going all the way up to the steps and then there was a little faded green door. I looked around me and see nobody close by, everyone that lived on this street were either in town or inside doing something-most likely watching TV. I pushed open the gate, which squeaked a little. There was a little garage on the right of the house which had mesh all over the sides to cover it up, there was a driveway on the right and there were gates that were shut, there was a gravel pathway leading straight up toward the little garage. I crept up to the front door and tried pushing it open, feeling very grateful when it edged open. I walked inside and a floorboard creaked and I nearly jumped. The walls were white and there were wooden floor boards covering the floor. It was a lot like a hallway. I seen an opening and turned to see a living room with a lounge chair that looked very old and dirty, it was brown. There was an old looking TV and a bookshelf with ornaments in it. The TV had dust all over it and so did the ornaments, you could tell this house hadn't been touched in ages. The carpet in the living room used to be white, now it looked more greyish brown then white. At the front there was no sign saying 'for rent' or 'for sale'. I seen another little opening door way thing and walked up to it and seen a kitchen and was immediately disgraced. It looked horrible dirt was covering every single counter top and there was dirt on the floor, the fridge looked as if it was going to collapse and the stove/oven looked as if it needed to be thrown out and be replaced. I looked down at the linen and seen that it was a light brown, the walls were white-again. It seemed as if all the walls were going to be white. I seen a door to my right and one to my left and one on the far side of the wall that I was standing at and walked to it. I opened the door that was on the wall and seen that it was a walk-in pantry, I closed the door and walked to the other door on the far right that was a couple metres away from the pantry door and unlocked it and opened it and seen that it was a door to go out into the side of the yard. The fence on this side, too, had vines all through it and there was a garden swing out there and a clothes line. I shut the door and locked it again. The house smelt of dust. I walked to the door on the other side of the room-on the left side-and opened the door and walked out ending back in the hallway. I looked straight across the hallway straight across to the other side and seen stairs and a railing on the side and I walked up them and ended up in another hallway. I walked down the hallway and seen a door, I opened it and seen a bedroom. I seen a bed and a wardrobe in the corner and seen a study table with a little lamp on it. There was dust in this room as well. It smelt like dust as well and I sneezed as the dust went up my nose from the door swirling the dut on the carpet around. I shut the door and I had the sniffles now. I walked to another room and seen that it was huge. There was a massive King sized bed in the middle of the room, it was covered in a light brown doona cover and had four brown rectangular pillows that were the same colour as the doona cover, there were little square pillow covering the bed in a triangular shape all the way down to the middle of the bed. The four rectangular pillows had two pillows on each side. There was a sliding door on the side and I walked over to it and slid it along its hinged and seen a massive wardrobe that was stuffed with clothes. Hanging from the ceiling, covering the outside of the bed, was a white fly mesh that had a silky touch to it. I swear the amount of clothes in thee wardrobe were more than I had in my entire life. Half of the wardrobe had a rod to hand clothes on and there were two rows of them and then on the right half of the wardrobe there were shelves of clothes-about six shelves full of clothes. I seen a little wooden door in the corner of the room and walked up to it and pushed it open and seen a massive bathroom. It was white tiled on the floor and walls, it had a toilet in the centre of the left wall, a huge shower on the right back corner it. The shower was one of those showers with two shower heads on each end of the shower and the shower heads were huge and silver. There was a massive square shaped bathtub in the right corner closest to me and there was a little hand basin a metre or two away from the toilet. I walked back out of the bathroom smiling a bit.

After an hour of walking around the house I noticed that it was four bedroom house, two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, there were three bathrooms, the on-suit, one downstairs and one upstairs, there was a kitchen, dining room, living room and a games room. The house looked like someone had to go-or run-away and left all their stuff behind or they died. Well I'm just hoping it was the first option.

I walked back down to the kitchen and got out some cleaners out of the cupboard underneath the sink, a dish towel and some gloves. I got a bucket from downstairs and filled it up with water and read each of the bottles and put the most compromising ones inside.

I then started turning this dump of a house upside down to clean and make it so someone could actually live in there.

After I cleaned the house from floor to ceiling I was covered in sweat and exhausted and the house didn't smell like dirt and it was actually able to live in it. I had taken off the sheets off the beds and gotten new ones out of the linen cupboard and put them on the bed and put the others in the washing machine and then when they were finished I put them on the line. I had carried the lounge chair out of the house and put it in the garage and seen there was a car in there. The car was yellow and it was a Porsche with boost. There was a midnight blue four wheel drive and a trailer in there as well so I moved the couch near the trailer and hooked the trailer upon the four wheel drive and then put the couch in there as well. I looked in both the cars and seen the keys were in it. I really couldn't believe my luck today. I walked back inside and looked inside a cupboard and nothing was in there. I looked in more cupboards and in about the seventh there was house keys and an envelope. I took it out and opened the envelop to see heaps of one hundred dollar bills and heaps of fifty dollar bills as well. My eyes widened and my jaw went slack. I got the letter out and started reading it.

To whoever is reading this,

Please look after my house and my cars. I do not know what will happen to me but I need to leave. Over time I may die or I may be living somewhere else. My house now belongs to you along with anything in it. The money will help you start you on your way.

I had gotten into trouble with a red eyed man and now I have to go. My children's lives depend on it.

Love,

Sandra.

I was in tears at the end. This kind lady is probably dead. I grabbed the money and shoved it into my back pocket and grabbed the keys to the house and locked it up. I ran to the Porsche and grabbed the keys out of it and then pressed the button to lock it and jumped inside the four wheel drive feeling nervous. I had only driven a car three times in my life. I've crashed to of them and the other managed to survive. I took a deep breath and started the engine. This car was a Manual and I was only used to Automatics soo that was a little bad but anyway I have to get used to it sometime. I reversed out of the garage and then came to the gate. I got the keys out of my right pocket and jumped out of the massive four wheel drive. People had heard the car start and had come out of the house and they were looking at me and openly gaping and some were smiling. I unlocked the gate and it swung open and I took the pad lock off and jumped back up into my seat and shut the door and drove up out of the gate and opened the door jumping back out after I ended up on the drive way outside the gates and shut the gates up and jumped back in the car. Once in the car I changed gears and drove off heading to the dump then town so I can go grocery shopping-for the first time-, get some clothes that'd fit me and get a new couch and TV, some DVD's, a new DVD player, more detergents, more toilet cleaners, another vacuum cleaner and a kitten and puppy-just for company-and some toiletries and a toothbrush. Maybe I might even start up a garden, just as a reminder for the lovely lady who will never know she just gave her house to a seventeen year old Dhampir.

Hope you liked it! Please tell me what you think! Also are the details of the house good? Oh and lucky Rose.
