Kept in the Dark

Kept in the Dark - Chapter 7

"Welcome to your new training facility." His voice was soft and smooth nothing like I would had been expecting. "Our training starts first thing tomorrow morning. I am sure you are hungry and tired. There is fresh food on the kitchen table right through those doors," He pointed to my right. "and your bedrooms are upstairs everything is already laid out and your bedrooms are marked. I don't mean to sound like an awful host but I have been preparing for you guys all day and I am beat please help yourself to whatever you need. This is now your home. If you have to have something I am at the top of the stairs just knock." He gave a smile tight with exhaustion and jogged up the stairs.

"Wow, he just left us alone? Just like that?" Blaine huffed out shocked.

"Well we are adults." Kallum muttered walking into the kitchen. I was as shocked as Blaine but I was hungry and tired and honestly didn't care what the hell happened right this second as long as I had food and somewhere to sleep. I followed him in and stopped at the sight of food lining the ten food table. Kallum whistled beside me "Wow, now that's what I like to see." Bread, cheese, crackers, cold cut meats, chips, and fruit covered every inch of the wood table. Chilled bottled water sat on one of the chairs. I didn't hesitate but grabbed a chunk of bread and a cube of cheese made a makeshift sandwich, grabbed a chilled water and headed back towards the stairs.

I jogged up the circular stairs and stopped once I reached the top confusion forming. I found a room dead top of the stairs like he said with a white paper with GENERAL SHAIF written in black. To the left were eight doors and to the right were eight doors. Which way was I suppose to go? Light reflected of a piece of paper taped to the doors to the right. Right it is then. I headed down the hallway checking out each door as I went the first had SAPHRINA written in dark purple across from her was MISTY in pink next was DEREK in dark blue and BLAINE in grey HEATHE in light green and LANE in dark green GRACE in yellow and KALLUM in light brown. My room was across from Kallum's and farthest from General Shaifs, I sighed, pulled the paper off my door and pushed it open making a mental note that none of the doors had locks or could be locked. Both a good and a bad.

I gasped the room was beautiful, it had a light yellow and baby blue theme, a four poster bead sat against the far right wall with a walk in closet directly to the right. A large vanity sat on the wall that I had walked through with two glass doors that led to an outdoor patio on the opposite wall. A door to the bathroom was opposite the bed and to the left of the door was an oak desk with a laptop sitting on it. I dropped my heavy backpack next to the vanity and walked towards the closet. It was stuffed full of clothes and shoes all the correct size. I stared in amazement. How did they know? Finally the Cor was doing something AMAZING. I pulled out a drawer full of clean bra's and underwear all the right size! YES! Shower shower shower shower. I had to shower I was gross and smelly and tired but that could wait I was not about to put on clean clothes and not have showered. I turned on the light of the bathroom and was once again taken back. The countertops were made of marble and the mirror was huge! At least six feet long, I winced as I caught my reflection in the it, I looked awful. My once tight bun had loosened and hair was falling everywhere. There was deep blue circles under my eyes from lack of sleep and they had dulled to a dark blue. I turned away and peaked through the cupboards seeing that it was fully stalked from tooth brushes to hair accessories. I started the shower, changed the temperature to a manageable hot and stepped under the spray. My tired muscles loosened and I all but fell asleep standing there. I washed and quickly stepped out, wrapped myself in a deliciously fluffy towel, brushed my hair then teeth and tiptoed to my closet.

"Ahh." I screamed as I found Kallum laying on my bed in his pajamas his hair wet from a shower he must have just taken. "What the hell Kallum? Get out!" He gave me that sexy smile and motioned for me to come lie on the bed next to him. I scowled and shook my head no. He sighed.
