Previously- The floorboards of the stairs were covered in thick rugs and muffled the sound of my footsteps which is why I paused when I heard creaking on the second floor. When I stopped the creaking stopped as well.

"Hm...these floor boards must be loose." I muttered to myself.

When I reached the landing I felt a cold breeze blow through the hallway. It was really freezing out here. There must be some problem with the heating unit I thought.

I should probably speak to Bella about this.

Once I reached my room, I threw my jacket on the armchair and my luggage nearby. The room was old-fashioned just like the rest of the house. There was a huge four poster bed in the middle with red drapes and sheets. Dark wood dresser which matched the bed was on the right with some old fashioned cupboards and an inviting red couch, a writing table and a red cushioned dark wood arm chair. Actually red and black seemed to be the theme of the room. It was slightly gothic looking but comfortable nonetheless. It looked ironically welcoming.

The bathroom was completely opposite to the house, it was more modern looking, spacious and completely white. I liked it. This was good.

The hot water felt divine after the day I had had. The hot water was another plus. Looking at the mansion from the outside I would never have imagined it to be equipped this well. But the heating system was still a problem, I mused. Well there had to be some flaw right? Then I also remembered the broken windows.

"Oh well, I'll just have to ask Bella more about it." I sighed.

After getting dressed I came downstairs looking for Bella. I heard noises coming from the dining room, so I followed them.

Bella was arranging the plates on the huge dark wood long table that seated about ten people which stood in the middle of the room. Candle lights were glowing in each corner of the room and two were placed in the middle of the table. The place was glowing and warm. It looked really inviting. At last I looked at the feast that was spread on the table.

"Wow."  It was all I could I say.

"Thank you." She replied, pushing a few strands of hair behind her ear shyly.

"Are we expecting guests?" I asked.

"No."

"Then why do you have so much food laid out here? It smells amazing by the way." She smiled and blushed a delicate pink. Wow, she looked so beautiful.

"It's for you of course." She replied.

"Bella, I confess I'm starving but sweetheart, even I can't eat this much. We could actually feed a small army with the food you have prepared."
