Chapter 6

Violet's POV

Colton led me out of the small room, taking me to the kitchen.

It was simple, with wooden cabinets, a small stove at the back, and an island in the middle. To put it straight, it was cosy, homey even. I made my way to the island and sat down on the tall stool, habitually crossing my legs together.

"Stay here," Colton said as he went to the pantry, returning minutes later with two bowls, forks, and two packets of two-minute noodles.

As he started to open the packets, I couldn't help but ask him,

"So, you never answered the question. What am I?" The question had been gnawing at me for the last few hours. Colton put the noodles into the two bowls while he answered,

"We'll tell you as soon as John comes. He's at a meeting right now, and should be back soon."

He was filling the bowls with water and placing them into the microwave. Slightly disappointed, I asked,

"We? Who's we?"

Again, he answered,

"Later."

I groaned in frustration. He seemed to notice and turned his attention away from the bowl of noodles in the microwave. His eyes softened as he saw me. This was the first time I could actually see his face. He had long, wavy, brown hair. And his eyes could cut through diamonds. They were blue, with flecks of black and gold. He seemed to notice me staring. He gave me a smirk, and feeling a blush come on, I buried my head into the island, hoping he wouldn't be able to see me.

Out of the corner of the eye, I saw his mouth open, as if he were about to say something, but then the microwave alarm went off, signalling that dinner was ready. 'Saved by the bell.' I thought in my head as he went to get the bowl of steaming noodles out. Placing it in front of me he said,

"Eat up." As he went to heat his own noodles.

The taste of chicken-flavoured noodles exploded in my mouth. I closed my mouth as I savoured the taste. 'Chicken. My favourite.' I thought in my mind. After about a minute, the microwave went off for the second time, and after a few seconds, Colton came to sit on the island with me.

"So, what questions can I ask?" I said, my curiosity killing me.

"Well, you can ask anything about the accident that happened, I guess." He answered.

I was thinking of questions I could ask when I suddenly remembered.

"Oh shoot! What about my mum? I'm all she has left! What if she thinks I've been kidnapped? O my God, what if she thinks I'm dead? She won't-"

Colton cut off my rant saying,

"We need to talk to you about that later, but right now, she is asleep and thinks that you're at a party with your best friend."

"What?"

Suddenly, the front door opened, revealing a man around 30 years old. He wore a black soggy trench coat, an umbrella in his hands. As he took off his hat, he revealed his black hair. Colton quickly ran up to meet him.

"John!" He replied, slightly surprised.

"Colton," He said, "Is Violet here?"

"Yes," I replied quietly before Colton could.

John took a step closer to me, seeming to examine me. From this distance, I could see his bright green eyes, crinkled at the ends from smiling. Colton quickly turned to me.

"Violet, this is John. He's the owner of this house. He'll explain everything to you, what you are, why, everything."

"Ok," I whispered, suddenly shy. Then my mind picked up. If this is John, doesn't that mean...

"Um, John, what am I?" I asked. He just chuckled and said,

"Well, I always liked the curious ones. Come on, follow me."

I walked with him up the stairs and down a corridor before we found ourselves outside a door. Before we entered, he asked me,

"Ok, Violet. Before you come in, we need to tell you something. If you do not agree to the...rules that I will tell you when we enter the room, then we will have to wipe your mind clear of the event. We will give you a new life somewhere else. Do not worry about your mother, she will be taken care of. If you do not agree to enter the room, you will be wiped of everything that has happened in the last 24 hours and will wake up in your room, same as ever. Do you agree?"

I was taken aback. A new life? Without my mum? That room held answers, but if I didn't say yes, I would be denied access. They were asking the unacceptable, yet, the answers were so tempting. And wiping my memory? My mouth went dry as I repeated his words. The accident...I felt terrible. But at the same time, I felt...alive. I couldn't forget that. I just couldn't. Anyways, who said I wouldn't accept?

"Ok." I whispered, looking at Colton's blue' eyes.

He nodded at me understandably, as if he had gone through the same thing before. John ushered us into the room, letting me in first. The room took my breath away as I entered. I stood in the doorway, stunned at what I saw.
