My Life For Yours

Prologe

The Castle on top of the mountain seemed so mysterious. It immediately caught my eye when we first moved here three years ago. My Dad forbit my Twin Rose and me to go there. He heard some stupid rumour that it is haunted.

But oh well we didn't care a single bit. So, one night when Dad went out and told us he will be back tomorrow at lunch time we knew this was our only chance to check it out.

So shortly after he left Rose and me packet our back bags and headed to the castle.

The large Black wooden doors of the main gate shut with a loud "boom" behind us. It echoed through the entire main entrance for a few seconds and then everything went quiet. We started looking around the main area. I was turned away from Rose when I asked:

"Ok! Where should we go first Rose?"

No answer

"Rose don't ignore me"

No answer again. I slowly got an uneasy feeling.

"Rose for fucks sake answer me!"

I said while turning around to properly look at her but she was gone. It was like she just disappeared into thin air.

"Rose!? Where are you!? This is not funny! Answer me!"

The Panic inside of me kept rising the longer I looked around for her. I was running around screaming her name until I heard soft piano music that stopped me dead in my tracks.

"Piano music? But no one lives here anymore. Rose!"

I started running towards the music.

I stopped Infront of a beautiful decorated door that was a tiny bit open. Letting some light into the dark corridor I was in. Just now did the realization hit that Rose can't play Piano so I stopped halfway while reaching out to open the door.

This uneasy feeling slowly came back to me while I just stood there. Frozen in time, unable to move at all.

During all this the Piano music never stopped and it got even more beautiful.

"Just come on in. The corridor must be really cold." And unknown voice from inside the room calmly said to me.

Only after the voice said that I realized how much I was actually shaking. Not only from the panic of losing my sister in this giant castle and not being able to find her but also because the air inside of this castle was unbelievable cold.

Slowly I opened the door and saw a young man who was sitting by a piano which he was playing.

He was dressed in a button up that was rolled up so you could see his forearms and some simple black pants. He was really muscular as well. Next to him I would probably look like a total weakling.

Since I wasn't too muscular and was pretty small for a boy that wasn't that hard.

"So, you finally decided to join me here." He said in a voice so quiet I nearly didn't hear him.

I slowly went deeper into the room. Bookshelf's as high as the ceiling where along a wall and at the other end was a fireplace. The entire furniture was in different shades of grey and black. Everything looked like it came straight out of a Medieval Movie. Nearly in the middle of the room was the Piano. With the unknown Man.

"Do you like it here?" he said after some time his voice sounded so calm and nice it made me relax a bit for some reason. He still played on the piano but the music was now a bit quieter and softer than before.

"Yes, it looks really nice, this room is also way warmer than the rest of the castle" I said while looking around the room.

"What is your name darling?" the stranger said while I turned my back to him.
