I look at him and say
"Why did you save me exactly?"
He looks up at me and stands up. His tall muscular frame overshadows mine as he quietly whispers
"The first time I met you, you were drowning, abandoned by the people who were supposed to protect...
We finally arrive in my wing, the wing is blocked by golden bars which contain a lock that has been designed with the colours and shape of a hummingbird. Xerxes takes out a key and opens the wing to reveal a long hall. This hall is colourful is also as white as the other one but this one is an open hall, you see all types of animals running through it, completely not disturbed by our presence. The outside of the hall is filled with hummingbirds and other types of birds singing in the trees, they're are two deers walking around and taking care of their fawns, bunnies who are hopping around and squirrels who are climbing up trees and picking nuts. Xerxes looks at me and says softly "Do you like it?" I look at him into his light brown eyes and a smile creeps up on my face. I say "It's truly beautiful..." I hold his hand and feel a course of electricity go through me, I say "Thank you very much, I know I have been saying this a lot but I truly am thankful" He seems to feel the shock of energy as well because his neck veins start to pop out and his breath starts to stagger a bit. I pull my hand away and look down as I say "My apologies, I got too excited" He seems to catch his breath and says "No, don't be. Come along now, I have a lot more to show you" He seems to sense my embarrassment so he holds out his hand and even though I am shocked by his action, I take it. He smiles and so do I, suddenly gaining my happiness again. We keep walking and he shows me the living room, this living room however doesn't really have a modern sense of things. It's holds a sort of Victorian era too it, the room has a white sofa which is encrested with gold on the top and the arm of it. There is also a table made of marble and I don't know why I am so surprised by the room also has a tv. I whisper in astonishment "It's beautiful" Either it's very beautiful or I am simply easy to impress, I did spend most of my life in a prison after all. I turn around and find him looking at me with a sense of pure amusement and joy at my reaction, I say "Will I be sharing this wing with anyone else, I should probably present myself" He comes closer and says "No, other then the maids, there is only you and I" The last part of that sentence seemed to hold a bit of mystery in it, almost as if it holds a sense of happiness or even maybe, a desire to it. I smile and he says "You wanted to have a shower earlier, the shower is further down the hall, next to the bedroom." I nod and say "Thank you sir" He nods and says "Dinner shall be at 7, so you have three hours to rest and get ready." I nod and say "Yes, I will take my shower and then perhaps stay in the garden for a while" He nods and says "Though I should warn you, never leave to far away from the property without me, it can be quite dangerous" I look at him and nod. He also says "And the second rule is, don't step in my private wing unannounced." I look up at him and his intense gaze gives me a sense of fear. His 6ft5 figure hovers over my 5ft10 body and he says "I need you to tell me you understand" I take back control of my thoughts and say "Of course, I understand." He nods and holds my hand, he places a kiss on it and says "See you at 7" I nod as he leaves. I go into the bathroom to find a huge marble bath, I smile and turn the water pressure on, I let the bath fill up as I take my clothes off and hop inside the bath as I take a sponge and start to bath myself with the soap. I seem to forget myself because before I know it, I look at the clock to see I have been here for half an hour. I quickly get out, put some lotion and get dressed

I make my way to the garden and arrive in a prairie yet green looking area. I decide to sit below a huge tree which I believe to be a willow.

I sit below the tree to find a bunch of birds squeaking. As I sit, a bird desires to fly into my lap and lay down on me. I must admit I am surprise, this had never happened to me before but i end up caressing the bird to realize it is a finche. I caress the head and the beak of the bird. My head however starts to become dizzy and my vision blackens. When my eyes open, I end up being in a a forest at night, I'm under a huge tree and seem to be in the middle of the rainforest. I get up from the tree and look up at the sky to see the stars and the moon shining on the place I was sitting. I look forward and see a fire a couple miles away, burning so brightly that it's light reflex all through the forest. I walk towards it and start to hear indigenous songs, songs that sound so similar. I finally end up seeing people, not dressed modernly at all, they are dressed in tribal clothes and dancing around the fire, almost as if they were absorbing its energy. A woman stops the dance and turns around to me, while the others don't pay her any mind, she walks up to me and says "Ugh isismi Calu natimo pali" I look at her confused but she ends up repeating what she said over and over again. I say "I'm sorry I can't understand you" She repeats over and over again "Ugh isismi calu natimo pali Ugh isismi calu natimo pali Ugh isismi calu natimo pali" I start to get frustrated as she gets louder and louder until she screams "BEWARE OF THE PYTHON IN THE FOREST" Once she says that, something pulls me back and strangles my neck, the fire and the people dissapear and I am left to deal with the snake. The snake bites my face multiple times until it wraps itself around my face, the last thing I hear is my screams until the snakes tail ties itself around my mouth, leaving me in complete darkness.
