Yukiandkyo: Hey guys. I'm finally back with an update for this fic. Sorry about the huge hiatus, but my mind wanders so easily and so many ideas for other stories popped into my head, and I just had to get some of them out before they made me crazy. So hopefully now that I got several out I won't go on another 4 year hiatus, hopefully. Anyways, that's enough of my rambling, on with the story!
~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~.
When I came to I found myself laying on something soft. Wait, something soft, hadn't I fallen asleep in the middle of the forest?
I bolted upright and was surprised to find myself in a bedroom, lying on a bed. I looked around, confused. How the heck had I gotten here? The door to the room opened and I looked over at the person who had entered.
The man looked to be about as young as my parents, even though he had silver hair and a silver beard. He had dark blue eyes and was wearing a black suit. He looked at me and his expression seemed to soften as he noticed I was awake. "Ah, good, you're awake. I was wondering when you would finally wake up."
"W-where am I? How did I get here?" I asked, confused how I ended up in this man's house.
"Right, you'll want to know, but first, I insist that you get something to eat first. You look absolutely starving." The man said. I tried to protest but the man kept shushing me until finally I gave up and agreed with him.
I moved myself over to the side of the bed and put my feet on the floor. I stood up and yelped as my legs gave out. I grabbed onto the side of the bed and held it to keep my balance, gasping for air. I took a couple of seconds to regain my composure and tried again. I pushed off the side and stood up fully. I tried to take a step but I wobbled slightly and my legs almost gave out again. The man appeared at my side and I jumped slightly. I was so intent on trying to walk I didn't notice him approach me.
"You seem to be having a bit of trouble, let me help you." I looked up at him, unsure about whether to trust. After all, I was taught stranger danger as a kid. Then again, he didn't seem that bad. He put an arm around my waist and let me lean against him, and we started to walk out the room.
With his help I was able to hobble out and along the hallway. The hallway was extremely lavish and well decorated, I could tell he was extremely rich. We slowly hobbled through the hallway and eventually came to a large dining room.
There was a large table in the center of the large dining room, the table looked large enough to sit more than 10 people, but only two places were set. He helped me to a seat and pulled it out. I carefully lowered myself into the seat.
The man walked into a room that I assumed was the kitchen and came back out holding two plates covered by by a dome cover. He placed one in front of me and placed the other in front of the seat at the head of the table.
He sat down beside me and pulled the cover off of his plate. My mouth watered as I saw his food, I pulled the cover off of my plate and dug right into my food.
At first I was eating very quickly, but I started to slow down. Eventually I finally came to a stop, completely stuffed, I sat back with a content sigh. I looked up to see the man watching me.
"Ah, right, I promised to answer your questions after you had eaten. Well, to start off, my name is Vlad Masters, and this is my home. I found you outside of my home in the forest and I decided to take you, at least until you were better."
"Oh, uh, thanks for taking me in then." I said, unsure what else to say.
"Oh, it's not a problem, so, if I may ask, what is your name?"
"It's Daniel, but everybody calls me Danny."
"No last name?"
"I-I'd rather not say."
"Hmm." The man hummed, but decided to just drop it. "So what were you doing out in the middle of the forest?"
"I kinda got chased out of my own home, and I was on the run. I got tired and just collapsed in the middle of the forest."
"So you were chased out of your own home?" I nodded. "Oh you poor thing. Well, you can stay here as long as you need to."
"Thank you." I said.
We sat at the table for a few minutes, neither of us talking until a phone rang. I jumped slightly and Vlad pulled a phone out of his pocket.
"Masters. Yes, yes of course. Right, I'll be there in a few minutes,don't do anything until I get there." He hung up his phone with a sigh and turned his attention back to me. "Daniel, it appears there has been an incident of sorts at one of my companies and my assistance is needed. I wanted to stay and make sure you're recovering well but-"
"It's alright, I get it. I'm kinda used to it by now." I respond to him.
Vlad gives me a sad look then says, "Well, how about I help you to one of the rooms with a television and if you feel up to it, you can explore the mansion?"
"Sounds good to me." I'm able to stand up with the help of the chair and Vlad quickly is at my side. I'm able to walk a little bit easier as we walk through the hallway. Vlad pauses in front of a door and opens it.
The room is very large, almost three times the size of the room I used to sleep in. The wall directly in front of the door, to the right of the door and the wall the door itself was on we're a pleasant cream color while the wall to the left was a caramel brown with diamond shaped patterns.
Against the back wall were three windows that looked out into the forest in the back of the mansion. The floor was hardwood, the wood was a cherrywood color. Against the right wall was a game stand with a plasma TV sitting on top of it. On each side of the TV were two sitting chairs that were mostly cream colored, but the frame was made of wood and the wood was dark brown. On the left side of the room was a queen sized bed with a cream colored comforter and a chestnut colored headboard and baseboard. On both sides of the bed were small, dark brown night stands. In front of the bed sat a red and gold rug, and above it was a golden chandelier.
I was taking it all in when a lad cleared his spoke up. "This is just temporary. If you choose to stay with me, there are plenty of other rooms in the mansion for you to choose from, and you can choose to decorate it as you wish."
"No, this is perfect. I like it how it is, thank you so much."
"No problem at all Daniel. Now, I should be back before it gets dark. If you should get hungry, the kitchen is just down the hall, feel free to eat anything you wish. There is also an adjoined bathroom so you won't have to worry about that." He said as he helped me to the bed.
I sat down on the edge then moved around until I was sitting with my back pressed against the headboard. "Thanks again Vlad. Hopefully I'll feel a lot better after some rest."
"Trust me, you will. I'm going to be heading out now, be careful."
"I will." I answered. He shut the door behind him as he left.
I sat in silence for a few minutes then decided to watch tv. I grabbed the remote from the nightstand to my right and turned it on. I was surprised on how many channels the TV got. I surfed through some channels and decided on a channel with a show about three bionic teenagers trying to fit in with normal humans while hiding the truth about their powers and go on missions to save the world.
I watched the episode that was currently playing, but when it finished I started to feel sleepy. I yawned and settled into the bed, getting comfy. As another episode played I felt myself drift off to sleep.
Yukiandkyo: So what do you guys think? Again, sorry about the huge hiatus. I promise it won't happen again. How was the description of the room go? It's my first time doing such a large description. Also, does anybody know which show in talking about? You're awesome if you do. Anyways, love it, hate it, just review it, bye!
