It was about 9 when I finally jumped out of my thoughts. I heard my stomach growl and realized I had barely eaten. So I walked to the fridge and grabbed a piece of pizza from the box that I had brought with me. It was now about 10:15. So I went to go put on my jacket and walked out the door twisting the key in the lock. I started walked up the stairs at about 10:30 to the 10th floor. Since I was staying on the 4th floor and I had always had a fear of elevators. So I as I walked up the cement stairs I couldn't help but think why he wanted to meet with me. I wondered if was going to hurt me and why I was meeting with someone I only met once. I didn't know what to do; I was scared but my feet continued to climb the steps. When I reached the 10th floor I looked at my phone and saw that it was 11. I looked around to see if anyone was there and there stood no one. So I proceeded to walk to the elevator where mystery man told me to meet. He was standing there waiting. His face still expressionless. Then he spoke...
"Follow me."
I couldn't help but obey. We were about to go to the entrance elevator when I suddenly stopped I couldn't go in there. He gave me a glance and hit the button to go down. He motioned me to come and my feet were moving against my silent screams for them to stay put. Once in the elevator we went down only half a floor before he pushed the emergency stop. I started to panic. Then he approached me cornering me in death trap. His deep black hair ticking my cheek as his lips made their way to my ear.
"You will come with me no need to be frightened."he said
And then he moved away abruptly and started to push open the elevator doors. Behind them lay a secret tunnel.
"Where are you taking me."I pleaded trying not to show that I was scared.
"To where you were always meant to be Katherine." His voice sounded so convincing but I didn't understand how did he know my name.
I continued to follow through the secret tunnel. Torches lined the walls giving some light. After walking about 10 minutes we came to a cave. It was full of candles and black and red roses. In the middle of the floor laid five red roses surrounding a giant black one.
I looked at him confused and he seemed to know what I was thinking.
"You are one of the five chosen ones. I am Master the first chosen. You will always and only refer to me as master nothing else. Understood?" I silently nodded amazed by his words.
"You are the last one to be chosen. Do you except your destiny to be a red rose."he said
"Yes Master." Not even realizing what had just spilled out of my mouth. Then I bowed to him. What was happening?
Suddenly three others came into the room there was another girl and two other boys. They all had the same dark eyes. The blond spoke up.
"You are one of us. You will always be. Do you take this honor with dignity and respect." I gulped and nodded. She showed a smile.
"Good," she said "Now we may begin."
