Selena crept out of her room door, even though it was pitch black in the hallways at night, she started toward Caroline's room. "You would think that monsters this wealthy  would have some kind of lighting in the halls" she said to herself, mad at the fact that she kept running into things in the dark. After a few seconds, her eyes adjusted to the blackness around her. She was walking fine when she started to feel like someone was standing behind her. She turned hoping she could make out something, anything, in the dark. She couldn't. She went on walking, then that eerie feeling came back. She picked up her pace and tried to ignore it, till it became a panicky feeling. Like a million eyes on her only she couldn't see them, like a bunch hands trying to reach out and grab her. That feeling became too much and she started running, but she kept running into things. The last she hit was a wall, she stopped there for a second. Trembling, she held her breath and dared to look behind her....and god, she wished she didn't. What she saw was a pair of red dots at the end of the hall staring back at her. She screamed. She screamed as she dropped to the floor and covered her eyes, then she felt a pair of hands grab her and she felt heat next to her, when she looked up she saw prince Elijah holding a lantern. "Ms. Russo, ms. Russo! What happened?!" he asked her calmly. Out of breath, she stopped screaming and looked back where she saw the red eyes, they were gone now. Elijah looked to where she was looking then back at her and asked in a whisper "What did you see?" she opened her mouth to answer but then she heard another voice. "Prince Elijah! Sir, i think i heard one of the ladies screaming- ms Russo!" it was the maid, Jenna. " What happened? What are you doing out of your room?" She asked. "i'm sorry, i k-know i was not to be out but then i-"

"it does not matter now, all that matter's is that she's okay, Jenna take her to the nurse before taking her back to her room." Elijah told her before marching off into the direction where the red eyes disappeared. "Caroline's room, that's where i was going sir." Selena told him. she didn't know why, but she felt she owed him a explanation. "Take her to the nurse, than to ms. Forbes room." he told jenna before disappearing into the darkness. Jenna took her to the nurse's room, which was located in a hidden room outside the kitchen, and waited with her until the nurse appeared. And by waited, i mean she waited while lecturing her. "Why on god's green earth would you leave your room!? I told you do not leave your room! And you did! Maybe i should have told you to leave your room! Maybe then you would have stayed!" Jenna went on raging. "Look lady, i was just trying to get to my friend's room. Okay, just trying to check on her because, if you haven't noticed, we were just snatched away from our homes yesterday, so pardon me for being good friend." Selena told her. Jenna took a deep breath and more calmly said "No, i'm sorry, i shouldn't have yelled. It's just... the Mikaelsons are really good people, but you don't know them like i do and you don't know this castle like i do, therefore you should stay put. At Least until i give you a tour on the house and you know where everything is." Selena knew where she was coming from. They're fine people when they know you, but they don't know Selena so if they found her snooping alone in the castle, they could kill her if they wanted too. "Okay. i understand." Selena said. Jenna stepped forward to give her a kiss on the head and said. "I'm sorry for my outburst, but my motherly instincts kicked in."

"Am i interrupting?" A voice said. It was the nurse they were waiting for. She was a beautiful dark-skinned girl with long black hair and light green eyes. "Oh, of course not. This is Selena Russo." Jenna told the nurse. "Hello ms. Russo. My name is Bonnie Bennett.  I'm just going to do a few test on you, okay?" "Um...sure" Selena said. She wasn't scared of doctors, but it was all the herbs and big books bonnie had in her office that made her cautious. They reminded her of the witchdoctors Selena used to hear about in her village, she thought they were just crazy old people. "Don't worry. Bonnie's been here in the castle for a while, she's a really good doctor." Jenna told Selena. "Thank you Jenna. Now Selena, the test i'm going to do on you requires you to be put to sleep, okay? You will be fine and you will awake safely in your bed." Selena gave her a "What-the-hell-do-you-plan-on-doing-to-me?" kind of look.  jenna laughed and said "don't worry, you will be fine."
