Crescent Fall

Chapter 2: Mythological history tends to be false

The Paris estate was another thing that confused Mari, she had always wondered were they got the money from well everyone has but still.

"I don't think I can ever get use to coming here", said Mari looking like a child in a candy store

Cleo scoffs "the only place am not use to is the family hallway, it gives me the creeps till this day", she said making everyone glance to the long dark hallway with red ceiling covered with picture frames from ceiling to floor with gold intricate words below each picture.

"It looks ok to me", said Ari with a shrug. "Am in my room if you need me"

"Me too, I need to sleep I had the worst chemistry class of the century", said Arielle going upstairs.

"Good day ladies", said Dan the Paris butler

"Yeah am so not getting used to this"said Cleo clutching her chest

"Would any of you like anything to eat or refreshments anyone", asked Dan

"Yes please", Cleo said excitedly and Mari shot her a look "What!, I don't know about you but am starving", said Cleo following the butler to the kitchen.

"Hi Merda", said Mari waving to the elder cook with gray hair.

"Mari my dear I miss you", Merda said pecking her on the cheek

"I met you yesterday", chuckled Mari situating herself on the stool.

"Well yesterday is yesterday", said merda with a smile making them  chuckle.

"Cleo dear I haven't forgotten you too I made your favorite......

"Oh I know", said Cleo already digging through the red velvet fudge cake with two pairs of bewildered eyes on her "oh and thanks merda your the best", said Cleo looking sheepishly when they both looked at her.

"Where's Alex and Arielle", asked merda

"Oh I thought Alex was with me, both of them are probably in their room", said Mari with a shrug.

"Hey guess what", said Cleo with chocolate smudged on her face

"What"

"You didn't guess"

"Cleo", said Mari sternly

"Argh your no fun, anyways Hannah and liv are coming over apparently Liv's brother broke his arm in school today so he can't attend lesson for the next two weeks and Hannah is done helping her mum, said her mum was almost done with the project", said Cleo scrolling through her phone. "so all in all they will be here in ten minutes", she said and immediately the door bell was heard making Mari and Merda to look towards the door then back at her "oh the message was sent ten minutes ago", said cleo smiling sheepishly"

"Please grab the snacks", said Mari leaving to greet Hannah and liv.

They all went upstairs to Alex room which is a black and white decor, queen size bed in the middle, dresser, walk in closet, floor to ceiling window with a balcony, an exquisite bathroom at the right side corner. Everything was in black and white, there was no single pictures or even colors to make the place look homey. It was simply just bland and too neat.

"You make me feel lazy anytime am in your room", said liv

"Well you are lazy", said Hannah flopping next to Alex.

'that child is too addicted', thought Mari looking at Alex who was sprawled on her bed scrolling through her phone.

"So do you guys want to watch a movie", asked Mari  flicking through movies
