When Lies cover the Truth

"Hey, you alright? " "Yeah. I just have to wait here until my friend comes. " "Don't you know that it's dangerous to stay in the college after our class is over and all students are gone? " I was wondering why was Phoebe saying this. First she addressed the forbidden room and now she is telling me to go home asap. She is mentioning a danger. But why isn't she telling what the danger actually is? "I think your friend is lying." I looked at Phoebe as if I heard something impossible. "He has been my friend for a very long time. Why would he lie to me. He won't obviously leave me alone on my first day of college. Probably his bike truly has a problem and he'll be here soon. " "Hopefully you are right. But please be careful. It's not necessary that what you'll see is what actually it is. " Phoebe's words seemed like an advice and warning at the same time. I was just about to ask her why she was saying all this but her Mom came and she had to go home with her. Her Mom seemed like an arrogant woman. Her hair was brown and curly. She was literally dragging Phoebe to go home. "See you soon Vic. " Vic? It was the first time someone gave me a nickname. I always thought that having a nickname is cute. And finally I got a friend who gave me a nickname. I watched Phoebe go with her Mom. Even though she was unwilling to let me sit here alone, she had to go with her Mom. I was all alone in the campus. Waiting for Ryan. But just like Phoebe said, maybe he lied. It was afternoon already and he didn't come. I didn't know the place very well. So I couldn't go home alone. I felt so terrible. This college definitely has something weird about it. "Hey, you still here. Our classes were done in the morning already. Why are you still here? " John seemed very anxious about it. Even I was feeling scared sitting here all alone. "I was waiting for a friend. He is supposed to drop me home. " "Oh, I see. But sitting here alone isn't safe Victoria. " Why was everyone pointing at the unknown  danger. "Hey Edward! Would you mind dropping her home? " Edward... Yeah the rude guy. I thought he would definitely say no or maybe wouldn't say anything. But he proved me wrong ."Come with me. " It was the first time I heard his voice. His voice was deep, attractive and something unnatural. "You coming or not? " "Yeah I'm coming. Thanks. " I went with him to the backyard of the campus and saw a black car shining and sparkling. The car seemed like it was from 18th century but it was looking so new that I doubt it could be that old. "Nice car. You like things from 18th century? " "Hmm. You want to see some marvelous things from that era? " He seemed friendly so I thought maybe he isn't that bad. "Yeah sure. " "Would you mind if I take you to my house first? " House? I didn't know whether to trust him or not. I was new in the college and I didn't know the city area either. I sensed danger but somehow I don't know why I said, "Yes. But please drop me before night. I have my assignments to finish. " "Ok." He was slightly smiling. I couldn't believe my eyes. How handsome and charming he was looking when he smiled. I also noticed that he was pale skinned. Wearing black shirt and was dressed fully formal. I was just about to ask him how far is his home but I suddenly noticed his eyes were changing colors. At first I saw it was golden brown but for the slightest moment I saw it was red. Then the eyes changed its color to golden brown again. I was shocked as hell. "Hey! Did your....Did your eyes just changed..... color?! " Edward seemed tensed but he hurriedly changed the topic. "We're home. Let's show you some interesting things. " I noticed it was a giant villa. And it had a big name plate on the front gate. The gate was made of iron and I saw a big nameplate "Crimson Villa".
