Chap27~A Mother Effing Castle

A/N: Hey guys. Coming at you live from the bus again. Sort of live... I feel like I'm dying. I'm sick and being forced to go to school. It sucks. I don't really know what the point of this note was so...um yeah. I'm just gonna go ahead with the story now...

I almost fainted. This was like a dream come true. I was going to live in a big ass castle in Ireland. Millennium began leading everybody inside, talking like a tour guide.
"On this first floor, there is a dining room, parlor, kitchen, and lounge room. The parlor serves as a meeting room. You are only to enter if you are called for a meeting. An intercom system goes throughout the entire castle. Below us is a basement level, which is half lounge and the other half is a huge gym. On the second and third floors are training and the top floor is rooms. These rooms are big enough to have roommates. It can also be arranged to have a wall removed for bigger groups. As you saw when we came in there is a moat and outer wall with guard towers. Anybody with a guard position needs to meet in the parlor so we can discuss schedules at 7 am. After that, at 9 am, anybody with or interested in a kitchen position will need to be in there for the same reason. Be careful around the moat and get me for wall removal. I do it without the mess."
I looked at my friends, "Wall removal, anyone?" They agreed. We went off to find Millennium. This castle was amazing. There was tapestries on the walls and statues of Knights' armor everywhere. We found Millennium by a large door that l, by the smell of gym in the air, led to the basement.
"Millennium, could you do a wall removal for us?" I said quickly, trying to catch him before he went down there.
"Of course. I'll show you the rooms." He led us to a huge staircase.
"Oh god! Do we have to walk all the way up there?" Lily exclaimed.
"Calm down Lil, it's just four flights," Amy spoke up.
She groaned in reply as we began to make our way up. Lily managed to make it without dying, though by the third set of steps, she started panting like a dog.
"You really need to get into shape Lily," Wren teased.
There was this rug, a deep red one, that went all the way up the stairs. There was a landing at each floor, the stairs went straight up the middle of each floor- while still managing to turn like a staircase in a hospital- and the rug would widen out, covering the cold stone, and stretch down the halls. As if it were custom made to fit this castle. Knowing the guy we were with, it probably was. We finally made it to the fourth floor. The halls stretched out on both sides of us.
"If you go to the right, that's the hall in which we can make big group accommodations," Millennium said, talking in his tour guide voice again, "In each room you will find a ladder that leads to a hatch in the ceiling. That leads to the roof, which can be used in need of an escape or just a breath of fresh air."
He led us into the two rooms at the end of the hall on the right side. With a wave of his hand, the wall separating them disappeared.
"You can move the furniture however you feel like. I'll leave you to it." And then he was gone.
"Well let's do this."

A/N: Hello again. Sorry this chapter is short and sucky. I just wanted to get something published today. I'm gonna come back and make it better, but like I said in the beginning, I'm sick and this is using to much brain right now. My stupid bus is hot because everybody on here can't take a little ac or something so I'm sweating to death and feel like I'm about to have a heat stroke. Plus the stupid sun is shining right at me, so that's just making it worse. Yeah,so sorry guys it'll be longer and better soon. Wish me luck to get through the school day and I'll write to you again soon.
~ So it's been about a week since that message. I'm still a little sick- I was sick all of last week. All of it.- but I'm a little better now. I went from something like the flu to something like bronchitis. I still have an awful cough, but I'm getting there. I'm better enough to write again. It was literally hurting to think to much last week. I was pretty sick. Sorry guys. I'm back now though. This chapters' gonna be better and then I'll have another coming to ya. I'll stop interrupting now.

After two or three hours of arguing about where to put the beds and the night stands and literally everything else that needed a place to be put, our room was friggin perfect. Wren and I pushed two beds together in the corner and Lily had her bed in the opposite corner. Those three were on the really long wall opposite the two doors. Amy and Katie had there beds right in between that smack dab in the middle of the wall, the head part touching it, with a nightstand in between them. There were four closets in here, so we had to avoid those when placing the beds, then there were four dressers- which is an argument we'll get to- and two TVs. Lily's closet was at the foot of her bed, mine was the at the foot of my bed, and the other three got dressers. I put anything I couldn't hang in Wren's dresser. The fourth dresser stored all of our none clothing items. They were all placed against open spots on various walls, which we argued about for a solid hour. The TVs we couldn't move, but there was a dresser placed under each because the TVs came with DVD players, which needed a place. After that was done, we had nothing to do.
"I say we go explore Ireland. I mean really were in another country! How many times have you guys left America? I can answer that right now. Zero times! Let's go into town. Maybe we can track down some bean bags and stuff. You know, the like "Back to College" dorm type stuff Kohls always has?" We looked out the windows to see the sun was still shining. Well not shining per say- it's very cloudy here, which I love- but it wasn't night. So we went. Millennium offered to have somebody drive us, but we were old enough to have a license. We'd be fine. So we drove for a while, trying to find the closest town. We might as well have been looking for a lake in the desert. Once we figured out what direction to go in to get to Dublin, we realized we'd have to make a complete u-turn. We'd been driving for half an hour when it happened. We were rammed on the passenger side by a huge truck.
