I turned away from the computer into one of the thousands of books on the shelf and pulled out one of Kristen's yearbooks. I turned to the page that held Dimitri's picture. He looked so cute with his hair really short and his white tux. It was very funny, but I wasn't laughing I was crying. Remembering that first night he was in my bedroom and we were looking through all of the pictures and laughing at them. I wish I could redo time to that day. I never heard of a Time Changer though it was never in the note. I kept staring at the hearts around his face and the I.L.Y. wrote above it in red letters. Kristen really did love him.
I heard three knocks on the door. Then another three knocks. I didn't want to open the door, I was too sad to let anyone see me.
"Tessa I know your in there just let me come in!" it was Jace.
"Yeah Tessa. If you don't let me in I am getting Anthern." It was Sori. Now what would they want?
"The doors unlocked."
"Tessa, you have to other invite us in or open the door. Other wise we can't come in."
"Well then sorry about your luck." I screamed. My voice broke on the last word, and if I didn't I could have been home free.
"Are you crying?" Jace asked.
"No, go away!" I heard shuffling foot steps as they left. I felt so bad now. They were just trying to help.
I got up to the huge book shelf and looked for something on opening doors. I climbed the movable ladder and found some book called Immortals Rooms. I picked it up and climbed back down. I opened it to the chapter called Closed Doors.
An Immortal always has privacy. Whether it's in there car, fence, or house an Immortal doesn't have to let anybody in. The doors can only be open by a voice saying they can come in or if they open the door. Immortals are one of the safest from burglary in the whole nation.
I laughed. This was one of the best news I have heard all day. I kept reading to realize that the walls can actually hear you and can decorate the room however you please, as long as you speak fluently and have your plans already thought up. The wall can change color and the room can choose how much light it wants in it. You can make the room bigger or smaller and you can get knew furniture by just copying the picture off the internet and hang it on your wall.
I closed the book and climbed the ladder to put it away.
Then I spoke, "Wall get rid of the door." All of the doors in the room were gone.
"Well leave the closet door." It reappeared.
"Cool." I said. It was very awesome. I went to the closet to grab some slippers. Then my teeth began to chatter. I put on my slippers and when I walked back into the room the whole place was covered in icicles. Snow was falling from the ceiling and the furniture were ice and as hard as rock. Then I laughed at myself. I should have known if I said cool it would become freezing.
"Walls make it warm." The ice disappeared and my feet didn't feel as blue.
I walked over to the door and I pulled it shut. I went over to the stairs and walked down to the 8th floor. It took about fifteen minutes when I got there and I was out of breath. I walked over to the place where the cooks were and I rang the bell.
"Well hello young lady I don't see you hear much."
"O I'm new; umm do you still serve lunch?"
"Oh hun I always serve lunch. Now what will it be?" I scanned the menu and picked the ravioli. In about two minuets she came out with steaming ravioli.
"Wow that was fast."
"Well thank ya. When you get to be as old as me you learn that you must be quick." I laughed.
"I'm Tessa."
"Oh you're the new Dream Keeper I heard about you. I'm Sherry and if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here. I usually have nothing better to do." I laughed again.
"I will make sure to do that." I walked away to a table and sat down to eat. She was the only person who really made me laugh here. I tried to look happy even though I was stressed and tiered. Apparently I wasn't good enough; Sherry took her apron off and came to sit a crossed from me at the table.
"What's on your mind hun?"
"Just problems," she looked with the you- and- I- both- know- there- is- more-stare. "It's personal."
"I know, it's none of my business, but I thought you just needed a friend, and a friend who is wiser then most of the immature brats here." I laughed again. I just loved her little accent.
"Yeah I need a grown up sometimes." I thought about Dimitri. Was he considered a friend?
"You're a grown up your self. Just because it's a big world doesn't mean you can't conquer it."
"Are you Immortal?" I asked.
"Well some people think I'm not, but since you're a friend a think I could trust you with a secret. I'm an extinct Immortal."
"Wait, if you're instinct then why are you here?"
"Well when the war was happening I got shot in the shoulder and had to be taken to the nurse's tent. When they got me fixed one of the vampires came to attack the tent. I was lucky to find an under ground passage way that led to here. And since vampires can't go underground I was safe. When I came up to the surface no one knew who I was. Or what I was. I heard that the Floaters were extinct and I knew if I told someone that I would get so much attention that I wouldn't be able to live my own life. They would make me a dog and I would have to breed. So I applied a job as a lunch lady here and Anthern took me in. He and now you are the only ones who know that I am the last Floater."
"Wow, is that why you cook anything really quick?"
She laughed. "You're a smart cookie. Speaking of cookies I made no bake cookies yesterday, would you like one?"
"Sure." I hurriedly ate my ravioli and pushed it away. She stared at my plate and it started to rise. "Cool."
"Well thanks hun." She made it float to the pile of dirty dishes. Then behind it a flying plate of no bake cookies came and floated right above the table. She made one of the cookies come and float right at my eye level. I laughed and picked it out of the air. I started chewing and they tasted really good.
"Wow! Did you make them yourself?"
"I sure did. It was my pawpaw's recipe. He loved the things."
"Was he also a Floater?"
"Yes he was, but he was also killed in that war against the vampires. Did you know I used to read all about the little creatures, but now that they started that war I only read the fiction books on vampires."
"Do they have a book store here?" I loved books they were the highlight on any subject.
"Well except for the ones in your room. I only think Kristen liked non-fiction. Kristen and I used to be besties back then."
"How do you get new books?"
"I always sneak out of here to Books-A-Million, a bookstore about a mile away. They have everything! I would just love to live there."
"Wait you have to sneak out? Anthern won't just let you leave?"
"Anthern wants to keep Immortals as far away from humans. So there are no field trips or nothing. And I loathe staying in this hell hole. Pardon my English." I laughed again. "Hey would you like to sneak out with me? There are tunnels down on the first floor. Meet me around 6:30?"
"You bet." I finished the cookie and used the elevator back up to my room.
"You have one new message." Spoke the computer.
"From?" I asked.
"Dimitri Korzi."
"Start." I said.
"Umm it's me. Come see me in my room. We need to talk." It ended and I sighed.
