"Come on we're here." Isaac moaned. He sounded different, nicer than before, he changed a little on the ride here. "Okay...Isaa...Sir." He smiled. What he actually smiled? "Call me Isaac please, since your not living at home anymore." He said please? Why is he acting so nice? Is it because he's with his friends? We were at the door. I looked up at the house, it was so small, a lower class house, lowest of the low. Why here? Why now? "Remember what I said Isobel please, they WILL hurt you, please stay safe...This is the only place I could put you, everyone thinks your dead..." The door opened into a house the same colour of the outside. Grey. Everything was painted grey, the furniture brown. What? Grey and brown? Oh well I guess this is home now...Luckily I remember the way back to my old home.

"You better come in. I'm Nicholas. Tom's waiting inside." A middle aged man with scars all over his face, dressed all in black told us. I stepped over the threshold and immediatley felt endangered. "Quickly then I'm getting impatient..." A male voice who I figured was Tom shouted. I hurried through to the sitting room and there was Tom. "Ah, a pretty one you are." Tom stated. "Let me tell you the rules. Sit. Good. 1.Do as your told, 2.Call everyone Miss or Sir unless it's a Mrs. Understand? Good. 3.Cook, clean and do what we want, 4.Decorate when asked, we will let you choose your room. 5.Never run away or escape or you will regret it. Isaac you can go. See you Monday." Tom stood up and went up the stairs calling someone to show me around and help me choose a room.

"As you know I'm Nicholas. I will get you to meet the others tomorrow. You can have the attic...No, Tom said you can have any room..." I swallowed and breathed a deep breath...He was scary. Almost evil. "I will have the attic. Sir." I added and looked at my feet. "I will find you a temporary room there are things in there. You have to clean the attic tomorrow." We walked into a room that was painted white. With an old mattress on the floor. "Thank you Sir." He walked out and left me and my bag alone. I got changed into my nightie and went to sleep.
