Don't Listen to Your Heart

Candles In The Dark

"I want you to explain to me what happened" James quietly says as I sit on a red couch in his room, Room 64.

I sigh and look down as shivers start running though my whole body.

"Cold?" he asks putting a towel on my shoulders, I weakly smile.

"Want some?" he asks again with a mug in his hands,

"I don't like whiskey" I say as he softly laughs,

"It's hot chocolate actually"

"Oh. Then yes please" I smile, he smiles back.

I slowly take a sip from my mug.

My hot chocolate tastes really good.

Even better than when my mother used to make it for me when I was little and she still cared.

"Better?" he asks with a small smile, I nod.

"I didn't know you knew what chocolate is"

"What? How old do you think I am?" he laughs,

"I don't know" I chuckle, he widely smiles.

"Mr.March. Oh-" Iris says as she suddenly stops and looks at me,

"Yeah?" he asks,

"Nothing important. It can surely wait" she smirks, I look down with a small laugh,

"Good. Thank you" he says with a small smile.

"Are you free tonight?" James suddenly asks,

"I'm feeling kinda sick actually. I don't really feel like assist you for another murder, I'm sorry"

"Oh. No, no, no, it's not that" he laughs, "I wanted to take you somewhere special"

"Oh. Where?" I ask,

"I'll show you" he smirks.

"I don't have to wear a dress, do I?"

"Nah, not tonight" he smiles.

8.00pm, I take a shower and start thinking.

I still can't stop thinking about what happened in and after the Mirrors room.

I let out a sigh and hold my head against the shower box as the hot water starts pouring down my skin.

I quickly open my eyes, all I see is pure darkness.

Oh no.

I start walking through a dark corridor, I keep looking around me as I start sweating.
