         A couple of hours later. The limo stops, and the door is swung open from the outside. I cautiously step out of the car, and I see a beautiful mansion. It is so breathtaking. I have never seen something so beautiful before. Usagi suddenly grabs my arm, and pulls me towards the enormous front door. Well, double doors. Usagi grabs the exquisitely crafted door knocker. And knocks it in a kind of pattern of knocks. I take a closer look at the knocker, then the other, and notice they are in the shape of dragons. Then the doors creep open. Before Usagi tries to drag me again, I hurriedly walk through the now open doors. Then the doors are closed behind me. I notice it was opened by what I assume are butlers. Both of them say in unison, "Good afternoon Ma-". Usagi clears his throat. He seems to whisper something I couldn't make out to the butlers. The butlers say in unison, "It is nice to see you again, mister Usagi.". Usagi yells, "Sheri!!". He seems to have more of a European accent as he said it. A blonde girl rushes down the colossal ornate staircase I just noticed. She stops near the bottom of the staircase and looks at me. Then she makes an unreadable expression, then she looks over at Usagi. Then back at me. Her hair is in two ponytails and in ringlets like Goldilocks. She is very pale, like she never has been in sunlight a day in her life. She is wearing a black little Lolita dress. She is wearing lacy stockings, and matching sleeves. She looks like a porcelain doll. Her eyes are bright green, yet piercing. Her lips are dark red. She is gorgeous like an angel. She continues her descent down the stairs. She asks in a sweet voice, "What can I do for you, sir?". She doesn't take her eyes off of me. Her feet lightly touch the floor as she walks. it's like she's gliding across water. She must work here or something. Usagi replies to her, "Take Miss Rose here to the bathroom in the South Wing, and tend to her. Make sure she gets washed up, and then take her to the West Wing, and get her a makeover.". Before I can ask Usagi anything, the pretty blonde girl is in front of me. She says softly in a French accent, "It's time to go, Miss." Then she proceeds to grab my wrist and pull me upstairs. 



           After walking for what seemed like hours, we stop at a door. She opens the door, and asks, "Would you like help washing, Miss?". I ask, "Like you wash me while I'm in the bath?". She nods. I reply sheepishly, "No, thank you. I can do it myself." She frowns, but then smiles sweetly. Then she walks into the room, and then I actually take in the room. The bathroom is huge. It has lots of golden bathtubs, and gold showers. It is breathtaking. My jaw drops. How do people live like this? What job do they have, because it would so be worth it. I notice the girl is running bathwater, in a tub with jets in it. She asks, "Which smell would you like in your bath water?" She holds up two bottles of bubble bath. I point to the pink one. She pours it in, then a couple other things. The tub is so bubbly. Then Sheri turns the faucet off. Then she asks, "Would you like help disrobing?". I reply taken aback, "No, Thankyou. ". Then I studder,"Can I take my bath alone?". She nods, then she turns to me, and says with a smirk, "You smell really sweet.". I look at her face to try to read her face, but I get lost in her glowing eyes. They gradually turn a darker color as she looks at me. It might be a trick of the light, but I could swear they turned red for a split second, before she turns around and leaves the room. That was weird. I take all my clothes off and I get into the warm bath water. I bathe in luxury soap, and try to figure out what is going on. I'm sure I'll find out soon. Yet, I can't shake the feeling that there is something everyone is keeping from me. I push the thought away, and try to enjoy myself.


        As I soak in the luxurious bath, I can't help but feel a sense of unease creeping up on me. The events of the day have been so surreal, and I can't shake the feeling that there is something sinister lurking beneath the surface of this beautiful mansion. Despite the warmth of the water and the sweet scent of the bubbles. I can't ignore the nagging voice in the back of my mind telling me that I may have stumbled into something far more dangerous than I could have ever imagined. As I lay in the bath, the water soothing my tired muscles, the feeling of unease grows stronger as I realize that there is more to this place than meets the eye. Why can't I shake the feeling that I am being watched, What could be the big secret they're hiding? Is this family assassins or Mafia bosses? Is that why they can afford to take me to a fancy mansion to get ready? I think again to the red eyes from the maid. Why did she seem so strange?I must be overreacting...I'm just feeling anxious and jittery, because I'm about to go on a date with the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. That'd make anybody nervous and on edge. It takes everything I can do to try to relax. I squeeze my eyes shut and try to clear my mind, but the feeling of unease lingers. But as the bubbles pop and the water ripple around me, I steel myself for whatever may come next.
