Chapter two
Sarah’s POV:
I turned the handle to my door and slowly opened it. I held my eyes together and took a step in. MY eyes flew open. The room was a light green and brown colored. The bed duvet was clearly custom made it had loops and swirls all over it; it was the same as the curtains. In the back of the room just above the queen sized bed was a huge picture of a lake, it was so beautiful. It was a lake just before sunset the sky was pink and yellow, it reminded me so much of a place my parents took Alex and I when we we’re little.
~FLASH BACK~
“Mommmmm!” I yelled to my mother at the front of the car.
“Yes honey?” She replied looking back.
“Are we thereee yet?!” I screeched to her.
“Yes we’re here sweet heart” I love my mother’s voice it was so sweet and calming just like Alex’s voice, they are just alike but Alex just won’t admit it. “C’mon girls!” My mother said to us. Alex is just about six and I am nine. I didn’t want to come here. Come to a stupid lake and get eating alive by stupid bug and then just to top it off get stupid freaking sunburn!
It was just about noon and I had completely changed my mind about the lake. It was so beautiful! We had so much fun. Hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, catching frogs, even bird watching! But my most favorite part of the day was just before we went home just before sunset the sky looked like water colors blue, pink red, yellow, and it reflected onto the water; the water was perfect it was completely stil with little ringlets forming in it from the fish moving underneath the surface. The birds were sing as I sat on the beach with my family, my mother told us stories until we grew tired. I never seen anything more perfect and beautiful before –besides my sister, she’s extremely beautiful (but I’m talking about lakes…)- I didn’t want to leave, it was too beautiful to go but I fell asleep on my father’s shoulder.
~End of flash back~
I begged them to take us to go again, but it never happened. Then I just forgot about it after a while. But the memories are just so vivid and just as beautiful, even now. This picture is so amazing; it looks just like the lake from when I was a child.
I would have never thought to make a room like this, but now seeing it, I never want to leave. I laid on my bed and thought about that time more. How innocent I was, and now I kind of lost the name “innocent” a couple of days ago oh god don’t think about that… when I was nine nothing really mattered I didn’t think about “Oh I’m going to go get kidnaped tomorrow!” nothing in the world mattered.
I slowly drifted into a sleep and dreamt about the lake, that beautiful amazing lake.

Alex’s POV:
I opened the door and seen a huge room with a queen sized be with black poka-dotted duvet. The walls we’re black and white as we’re the currents. There were shadow boxes with pictures of zebras, pianos and typewriter. Odd combination but they all seemed to fit together. Then at the corner of the room a black grad piano sat with sheet music to Bach and Mozart. Whoever owns this place has great taste in classical music. I looked the the music and found the song “Für Elise” By Mozart, my favorite piece by him. I pulled it over to the stand, lifted up the cover, sat and started to play. About half way through the song I felt someone staring at me, I looked up. And I was completely right.
“Oh sorry,” The man spoke, “I didn’t mean to intrude, it’s just I heard you play it was beautiful. And I just was wondering who was playing…” he gushed. I couldn’t help but blush.
