The Further We Go

Chapter 3- Jace

We drove all around the land of riches for the finest people. The buildings seemed to be made out of gold and fountains of fresh water were at every turn. The place seemed to sparkle and shine.         
         Everyone in the limo was looking out of the windows, except for Nick. He just sat there with his head on his hands. He was starring at me the whole drive. At first I didn't care but now it's just weird.
    "What," I said at him glaring. He still sat there quit as a mouse, still staring at me. "What," I said louder then before.
Octavia and the Jewel twins turned around showing shock. He didn't budge a single bit so I went back to looking out the window as I knew the creep was still staring at me.
                 ***
         After a long ride through the gorgeous part of town, we finally arrived to a large building. This building wasn't beautiful or made out of gold. It was grey stone and looked like my house but 1000 times bigger. There were windows with bars and red paint was smeared around them giving the place some color.
        We came to a stop and a loud slam startled me. A man stuck his head into the now opened car door and said,"Welcome to the purity test."
       I stuck my head out of the car and smelt the air. It was fresh and clean compared to the air I always breathed.
      "Come on now we don't have all day." He shouted as he walked away from the limo. I stepped out first and landed on hard gravel. I walked towards him as everyone else stepped out too.
      "What is this rubbish," Octavia cringed.
      "The place you will be staying in for the night," the old man laughed.

      The door was a huge wooden plank and it squeaked as it opened. Inside was an empty lobby with no decorations. The walls were pure white and were as shiny as glass. The floor was white tile and white lights hung high over our heads. The outside of the building hides the beauty within. The large empty space looked like an over sized lobby. It was a complete waste of space.
      To the far right corner stood a man by a white circled stair case making it's way up.
The man was dressed in a white suit and tie. And his blond hair was slicked back. He stood with his hands behind his back and he had a perfect smile stretching across his tinted skin.
"Welcome," he said with a sly expression. "Your new home for the night." He spoke, walking closer and closer to us, until he stood directly in front of me

     "Jace,"he said as he bent down to kiss my hand. He looked young, maybe 19 or 20, but I couldn't be sure. He had a ancient that made him sound like a gentleman, but deep down I knew he was trouble. "I will be your guide for the day, but for right now I'll show u your room."

      He head up the shining stairs and we fallowed him like baby ducks. When we all arrived on the 5th floor, I seen a never ending halfway with many doors on each wall.
I then realized that the soldier man was no longer with us. I could see out of a near by window that he was taking another 16 year old group inside. We were all along with the British dude. He then assigned everyone a room and I was the last one to be picked.

     "Freya,"he said, showing me my room. It was spectacular. A high chandelier hanging from the ceiling. A white bed with silky blankets, but the best part about my room was the shower. It was everything I ever imagined one to be. Usually I just bathed in gross well water, but this was a total functional shower.

I sighed in relief as I heard a small laugh behind me

  "I suppose you like the room," he spoke softly as he leaned on the door with his arms crossed.

      "I suppose so," I said aggressively.
The man just didn't give me a good vibe.

"Well I hope this place to bring you good comfort considering you will be staying here for a few weeks."

I raised my eyebrow and replied,"The purity test only lasts a day."

"I know," He sniffled then walked away.
