Nightingale's POV

I was awoken by the morning chills running under my blanket and decided to take a warm bath washing the dirt off my body and wore the blue dress I saw in the closet from the other clothes he's prepared. When I went to the kitchen, I saw Hale preparing the breakfast.

"Good mor...ning" he trailed off when he glanced at me.

"You didn't even brush your hair?" he said in disbelief but I just stared at him without giving a care neither to his comment nor to how I appear to him then he sighed.

"I'll fix your hair after we eat. Is it ok?" he asked and I just nodded. I don't mind, I thought.

He really did fix my hair after we ate and it really amazes me. He tied my hair up like a pony tail using a big ribbon but had left some of my hair in front. I'm lazy fixing my hair up and all I can do is a totally messy bun. This reminds me of someone... someone dear to me.

"That's better" he said when he saw my reflection in his human size mirror which we are both facing having me sitting on a stool and he standing behind me.

"Thanks" I simply said then he smiled at me. What's he smiling for?

"Wait here" he said then he went into his room. Maybe after 10 minutes he came out wearing his royal blue coat and tie letting his brushed long hair down his back.

"You seem to be going somewhere" I observed.

"Who said I'm going alone?" he said with a smile.

"Follow me"

I stood up in curiosity and followed him leading us into the mini library and did something in front of the shelves that I didn't see. The shelf in front of him moved into the wall and slid behind another shelf showing a metal door with no knobs or keyholes nor anything to hold onto to open the door except for an oval shaped dent at the upper middle of the door with a figure around it. Familiar, I thought. He took out his blue oval topaz ring fitted on his middle finger and locked it into the dent. Red thick liquid came out from the ring tracing the line of the figure completing it when it reached the end. The Sagittarius, I quietly gasped.

The metal door split in the middle after he pulled his ring back making an opening into a very dark place. I'm feeling an adrenaline rush inside of me like I can't wait to go in there. It feels like I've been there before or into another like it. Then I saw a hand in front of me and realized its Hale's.

"Hold on to me. You might get lost," he said so I just pinched the edge of his sleeve. We entered at the same time and after we stepped into the dark space the door slammed shut behind us with a very loud bang nearly blowing my eardrums.

"Let's go," he whispered and I nodded in agreement even though he can't see me then we started walking. It was about five minutes when we reached another door with a lightened lamp above it giving enough light to the upper part of the door then he inserted his ring again on that door which did the same process as the first door did finishing the magic with the figure of the Sagittarius. When we got to the other side of the door, it suddenly disappeared on the white painted wall when I looked back.
