My Keeper

Connecting...

I was bored flipping though channels on TV. Thing's haven't changed that drastically from a few years ago. I may have missed the random celebrity hook ups and break ups or maybe a few new iPhones,but not much else of significant importance.

I decided to check out this old styled mansion that I'm stuck living in, the only place I'm familiar with is the dark secluded basement. Even though I've been here for almost 2 weeks I still haven't left my room. I learned that Grace has a boyfriend his name is Jackson he's a vampire like a lot of them around here.  I was kinda upset at first but he's a nice kid and he makes her happy so I can't protest to much. I crept from my bedroom into the hallway. It was dark out and I read the godfather clock on the wall. 12:32. I didn't even realize how late it had gotten. As I walked down the corridor and looked at the oil paintings and portraits, the atmosphere was eerie and gave me a slight chill.

I reached a large door with very detailed carvings and engravings. I reached out to touch it and it creaked open slowly but seem to echo through the empty space. I looked around to see if the noise had woken anyone but I didn't hear a peep so, I peaked my head in and saw shelves upon shelves of books, it was the largest library I have ever seen.

The filled shelves raise all the way to the ceiling at least 25ft tall. Wow. I stepped fully into the amazing room to get a better look. The moon light shined through the large windows falling into the room so beautifully it looked magical. I thought of how much more lovely it would look with the sunlight pouring into the vast collection of literature. I saw tables with stacks of books unorganized and some slightly falling apart, showing their age. The feel of being in this room brought joy I hadn't felt in a long time. There was a couch that was in the perfect spot to read a good book and be so comforted by the soft fabric. I aimlessly browsed through the books feeling each of the spines along my finger tips. This must be Roman's collection. It had to have taken a least one hundred years to obtain all of these. I wanted to get a better feel of each book in here in the morning. Then I continue my search throughout the household but before I left the library, I sighed in delight. I imagine I'll be spending days in here.

I kept walking down the hall seeing many more guess rooms and passed by a gym till I saw a glass door and it lead to white stairs going down. I wonder where this leads to? I walked down the cold white staircase and heard water flowing. I turned a corner and saw a huge pool. This place is beautiful, I wonder what other mysteries this place holds. I walked over and dipped my toes in the water. It was so warm hmm a heated pool. I can't pass this up. Its late and no one is awake to disturb me. Why not? I don't feel like disturbing my sisters' sleep to ask for a bathing suit. I take my shirt and shorts off and test the water again. Its still warm and so inviting.
