Chapter Two

After getting up and getting dressed Feliks and Toris went downstairs for breakfast. When they arrived Ivan was sitting reading the newspaper with breakfast already on the table.

"Good morning, you are ready to eat, da?" said Ivan with a bright smile.

"G-good morning Mr. ivan" Stuttered Toris, "Thank you for m-making breakfast."

"Lets, like eat already! I'm totally starving!" Feliks said forgetting to thank Ivan for breakfast.

"Say thank you!" whispered Toris, while elbowing Feliks in the side "Quick! Before he gets mad."

"Oh yea, Thank… I forgot" came the whispered reply from Feliks, who was completely oblivious to the bad aura that had started to form around Ivan.

"Thanks so much for breakfast Mr. Ivan! It looks totally awesome!"

After thanking Ivan for making the meal the three sat down to eat. Breakfast was silent, except for the comments on the food being good and the scrapping of silverware against the plate. It remained silent until Feliks decided to bring up the topic that the other two had been trying to avoid.

"Like, where are Ravis and Eduard?" Asked Feliks, not noticing the tension in the air.

"They decided they should leave. I will be taking in some new people soon." Ivan said, his young smile morphing into a demented one.

After finding out the news of the other residents the rest of breakfast was spent in complete silence.

After Ivan was finished and went to work Toris and Feliks started with their daily chores. They were talking about everything except the two who had left, both were too scared to speak of them but wanting the other to bring up the topic so they could talk to the other about their thoughts as to what happened.

" Do you think they actually made it out?" Feliks said, finally gathering the courage to bring up the seemingly forbidden topic.

"No… In think Mr. Ivan is hiding something" Mumbled Toris, before adding, "P-please don't tell him I said that!"

"Haha, dude! Calm down, like, seriously we've known each for forever! I wouldn't snitch on ya', what sort best friend would I be if I did!"

"Thanks… I just forget how long it's been… you know?" Said Toris, forgetting to add his normal stutter

"Yea, we've been together for-like-ever!" Toris laughed at the way Feliks inserted his usual 'like' in the middle of a word.

"Yea… I'm going to clean Mr. Ivan's basement now; he never lets us clean it… It must be really dirty down there!"

"No, are you kidding! Don't go down there! Who know, maybe he like does mad scientist experiments or something!" Said Feliks, trying to make a scary face as he said this although only succeeding in making Toris laugh, "I'm serious! He never lets anyone down there, its like, totally not allowed!"

"I know but I can't even begin to imagine the amount of dust that's been collecting down there!" retorted Toris, as he started down the stairs that led to the basement.

Toris opened the door and stared into the darkness that waited for him at the bottom of the stairs, flipping the light switch to 'on'. After flickering for a moment the small light at the bottom of the stairs lit up revealing a corner most likely leading to the main chamber of the old basement. Once he reached the bottom of the stairs Toris stopped, a sudden chill travelling along his back. Unsure of whether he should keep going he turned around to look up towards Feliks who was peering down at him. His face glowing oddly from the light shining on him from the bottom of the stairs.

"If you are planning to go down there stop being a scaredy cat!" yelled Feliks in a mimicking tone.

Toris knew that Feliks found his sudden fear funny even though he had been in much worse situations before.

Finally finding enough courage to keep going Toris turned away from Feliks silently and walked around the corner. Toris kept walking down the long hallway. He had expected the main room to be right around the corner but instead he found a long corridor leading into the darkness again. There were a few doors that Toris tried to open but they were all locked. After trying a few more door that were locked and not being able to find a light switch for the next part of the hallway Toris decided to head back upstairs. He called up to Feliks to let him know he wasn't going any farther, much to Feliks' relief and turned away from the discovery he almost made. Once Toris made it back up the stairs and shut the door to the basement he found something that scared him more than anything he had come across in a long time.

Feliks was crying.

"What's Wrong? Are you ok? Feliks?" Toris rushed to Feliks and pulled him into a hug, unsure of why he was crying.

"D-don't go down there again… please? I don't want to lose you… please don't…" Mumbled between sniffs, holding onto Toris as if his life depended on it.

"Ok, I won't. I promise, I'm staying here with you. Don't worry" Toris soothed.

Toris decided that Feliks had done enough work that day and decided to take him back to the wing of the house where their rooms were located and setting him down in his bed. Sitting down with him and rubbing circles on his back to calm him. He wasn't sure why going into the basement scared Feliks so much but if it seemed scared him that much he wouldn't do it again. Although he couldn't help but feel a bit curious…

He kept comforting Feliks until he fell asleep and then went back to finish their daily chores unaware of the danger that the basement possessed.
