Ms Shadows

Chapter 6.

"Quick! Get inside! I'll wait right here. " Drake told her. She nodded and knocked the wooden door.

"Come in" was all that she heard and she opened the door in front of her. As the wooden surface got out of her view, it revealed her a huge room. The floor was covered with Black, soft, foot-sinking carpet and the walls were made from clear glass. The view from up there was beautiful. She could see all the tops of the trees as they touched the crystal blue sky. She felt peace, harmony and freedom. How haven't she noticed the beauty of her country all these years?

The house was built up on a hill. Tall enough to provide such great view. On the other side, the view was completed by some tall buildings and streetlights. The sights of a modern city, where she had grew up. She gaped at the view when a mans voice interrupted her.

"You're late." He said calmly. His tone was professional, measured. "I don't like that." The man pointed out as he walked in the room.

"I'm sorry it's just that, one of your guards thought that it was a good idea to put me in that prison with all the other women." She replied.

"Well, that's not my problem now, is it?" Said the man with the silver eyes as he was now sitting on his desks chair.

"Well, I think it is sir. I almost went where the other women were supposed to be." She said courageously.

"I guess you have a nerve to come up here and talk back to me. For your instance in that case you wouldn't face any problems, because I would have recognized you. These women are meant to become servants and useful to my newly constructed kingdom and they all pass from me." Costello said he took some slow, calculated steps closer to her, "Hm..." he said looking at Rose. He sat on his calves and started talking to the girl. "Is this woman here your friend?"

"Yes she saved me from the bad people." The little child answered.

"Who are the bad people?" He asked cautiously.

"The men who have my mom, and many other nice women. And that Ian. He's a bad guy. He even tried to hurt Elinor."

"Ian?" His eyes lighted as he threw a glance on Elinor. "Ian White?"

"That's his name. He said he works for you." She said in a despised tone.

The man took a deep breath as if he needed to calm himself. "Sweetie, please go outside and tell the maids to lead you to your room, you'll be staying here, with us." He said to Rosie.

The girl nodded, unable to disagree and walked out. After she closed the door behind her and Costello was sure that she couldn't listen, he continued. "Yes, indeed. But it isn't his job to take care of the women I chose." He said to Elinor now, sceptically.

Elinor swallowed her next sarcastic reply." Anyway, thank god that that Jack was there, he helped me escape... Even though he did left me in that van, with his brother... But I assume he didn't do it on purpose." She murmured mostly to herself, but the man managed to hear her.

"What Jack?" He jumped from his place now siting in an worried stance.

"Uhh... He told me his name was Jack. He was Ian's twin brother..." She answered.

His eyes widened. "Sebastian! Come here now!" Costello raised his voice in a demanding tone.

An old, wise looking man, walked in. "Yes sir?" He answered in his kind voice.

"Tell Jack to come here. Immediately." Costello said sarcastically underlining Jack's name.

"Yes, sir." The elder man with the white hair answered obediently, as he nodded. After bowing and adjusting his black suit, he made his way out of the room.
