Really short chapter. Sorry! But I will be uploading another one really soon just to make up for the times I didn't upload fast enough. Thanks! R&R :D
chapter 11
The sun has hidden and the night has come. The subtle playful winter wind has gone and now turned into a sharp icy whisper.
Wilson beckoned again. "Master Benson we must make haste."
I was staring outside the window, the curtains softly swaying as if dancing with the wind as we made way into a narrow lit corridor not knowing where it would lead me.
I never knew a place like this ever existed in the mansion.
I was in my room talking to Wilson and I followed him behind the curtains and suddenly like a warp hole I am transported to somewhere I am not familiar of.
Dim lights lined the corridor with a lot of windows on the sides with curtains swaying. The corridor was also adorned with greek emotionless sculptures. It felt like I was in some kind of horror film.
I felt shivers down my spine.
We were supposed to meet 9am in the park, but Wilson asked me to come with him somewhere.
We walked for several minutes which felt like an hour and came to the end of the long corridor.
In front of Wilson was a wooden door with no knobs and no handles.
I asked Wilson to turn me into a shadow like him, but going through all of this made me regret even asking him in the first place. Everything just went from creepy to freaky.
But I was determined to learn, I was supposed to comeback to Seattle after 3 more months but curiosity always gets the best of me and I have to visit my mom soon or she will freak out again.
Coming back this early would jeopardize my plan, and that is the reason why I needed to learn.
I swallowed hard as Wilson pressed hard on the door and it opened.
I was expecting dust to fly off from the door and an eerie wind to blow from the open door. But no, of course not, this ain't the movies.
The room was dark, kind of a rounded room and bare, a sort of a pedestal laid on the center of the room, a hole on the ceiling let the soft moonlight illuminate the room.
"Are you afraid of the dark?" I was afraid of the dark when I was a kid. Who didn't right?
"No." I quickly replied.
"Then it won't be a problem then."
"What do you mean by that Wilson?"
BLAG!
A sound came from the ceiling and the hole closed instantly.
The room was swallowed in darkness. I can't see a thing, I even tried waving my hand at my face but still I saw only darkness. I tried looking back toward the entrance but I found nothing.
I walked around with hands in front hoping to touch the wall. But I kept on walking and still nothing. I started to panic, I began running just hoping I would run into something, but it was useless.
I was now scared, I sat down bringing my knees to my face and curling up like a hopeless boy.
The silence was deafening, not even a squeak.
By now my mind was playing tricks on me, minutes seemed like hours and I tried screaming for Wilson.
"WILSON!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. No answer.
I screamed again and again but still nothing from the old man.
I heard laughter. Not the good kind but the mocking kind.
Everything flooded in, I was sure I heard no noise but my mind was now recreating things out of my subconcious.
I took a deep breath, and sat down.
This is a test. Why would Wilson darg me to such a place if not for a test right?
I calmed down and the noises started to vanish, I tried thinking methodically.
the problem.
I am in a dark room, no exits and no one around.
a solution.
Simple, get out.
a line of experimentation.
Observe, analyze and execute.
I then tried to walk again, as I walked I remember the room, and painted my location before the lights went out. I stopped.
Bare room, cylindrical, a pedestal in the center.
I knew for a fact that teleportation is out of the question.
Then it hit me. I'm still in the room. There must be some sort of contraption in here that is keeping me from advancing forward.
I tried shifting forward and backward. It felt familiar.
My theory was correct, the floor shifted and moved following my foot steps like a giant treadmill only more complex since it works on all directions.
I proved this by fully shifting weight forward and the instantly turning back. I would still feel the pull of the floor beneath your feet when I did so.
I retraced my actions and steps to recreate where I first faced before the lights went out. and focused on the image in my head.
The pedestal was 2 feet away from me before the lights went off, I remembered looking toward it before lights out.
After positioning myself. I jumped forward hoping I would land on the pedestal. and I did.
Those Precision exercises really helped.
I tired jerking forward and backward to see if it also moved and it didn't.
Then the hole opened. Light came seeping through the hole once more.
My eyes readjusted to the light, taking in as much of it as possible.
I saw Wilson on the far side of the room.
"You've done superbly Master Freddie." Wilson exlaimed.
I noticed Wilson would always utter master or young master or sir and every time it would be different.
"Wilson call me Freddie." I said.
"Oh, alright then." he replied instantly.
"What was that for Wilson?" I asked.
"Fear is the product of extreme ignorance." Wilson stated.
"Fear is the product of not knowing." he immediately added.
I just nodded.
"You have passed my test and like I've said tomorrow 9am playground."
"Tomorrow we will start your day training and continue till night time."
