ELDORADO- *On hold*

Chapter-6

They slowly walked over to where the two of them lay whispering to themselves. 

"The suspense is killing!" exclaimed Jasper frowning at the advancing couple. 

" Hey! I'm Vincent and this is Varsha. We are asked to escort you ." saying thus the guy caught Jasper's hand while the girl caught Vanessa's and as soon as their hands came in contact with Vanessa and Jasper's the invisible bonds broke apart and they were freed. 

"Where are you taking us?" asked Vanessa afraid of what fate awaits them. 

But none of them replied to her and continued walking further motioning them to follow. 

They stopped before the arch with glittering leaves.  

They brought a band from their pockets and asked Jasper and Vanessa to clutch it along with them and together the four made their way through the huge arch.

It was an exhilarating experience. Passing through the arch filled them with a weird sense of calmness and happiness. 

"Isn't it weird?" asked Vanessa "We ought to be tensed and afraid of what awaits us on the other side of this arch but what's with this happy and calm feeling?"  

wondered Vanessa aloud looking in awe all around at the beautiful stags lined on either sides and beautiful birds of different species flying in and out of the woods.

Lush green meadow on one side, while thick woods on the other, this land seemed to be a deadly combination of beauty and danger. 

Admiring the beauty of this land they soon approached a one storey castle with sprawling gardens filled with flowers, trees, trimmed bushes and freshly mowed grass.

Above the castle they saw a black flag with a white serpent eating its own tail. 

"What does the serpent in the flag symbolize?" asked Vanessa turning red out of embarrassment when she still received no reply from either of the two which was now getting a little frustrating.

They entered the building in silence. 

Jasper and Vanessa busied themselves in studying the interiors.

The building looked plain from outside with ivy growing on it but it was just the opposite from inside. 

It has huge chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling. 

Flame torches lit the passage they walked through it.

On either side of the walls they saw huge paintings hung  either portraying a lady in battle or the nature around.  

She was fair and had long curly burgundy hair colour. She had long thick and dark eyelashes and her eyes were chocolate brown. She had a very beautiful, innocent and a vibrant smile.

Even Varsha s beauty paled before hers. 

One of the paintings showed her tackling 4 opponents all at the same time.  

Her face showed pure rage she looked like an avenging goddess.  

In the other painting she was depicted smelling a rose and her expression was of utter love. 

Jasper wondered how one was capable of displaying such contrasting expressions especially a girl or in this case a lady expressing anger of great folds was something he had never imagined.  

There were more paintings on the island and its landscape. It was indeed heaven on Earth thought Vanessa stopping to see each painting. 

They finally stopped before a huge wooden door having a snake shaped knocker and having a huge serpent carved on the door.

They pushed the door open to behold the biggest suite they have ever seen. 

A huge living room attached to a mini kitchen. 

By mini it dint exactly mean MINI it was just half the size of the huge living room having neatly arranged couches a huge plasma television set on the wall. 

The bedroom had a huge king sized bed with the huge French windows having golden curtains around overlooking the surrounding hills where they could see birds flying in and out of the woods . 

There were more paintings hung on the walls.

"Everything you will need is provided here. If at all you require something and you don't find it here call upon the butler by dialing 123." said Varsha. 

With a swift motion they exited the room closing the door behind them.

"Anne however beautiful this place and this room may be its claustrophobic! I fear we have no way to escape and we are stuck here endlessly until the verdict is passed as to what they have to do with us ." said Jasper fear written all around his face . 

"Hey by the way I am starving lets hunt for food! Off to the kitchen" said jasper rubbing his stomach and looking expectantly towards the kitchen.  

"At all situations is FOOD the only thing that crosses your mind Jas ?" asked Vanessa rolling her eyes at him, walking along with him to explore what the cabinets in the kitchen has in store for them . 

"What I dint have breakfast if you remember " said Jasper cocking his eyebrow up at her . 

"Oh whatever. " said Vanessa when she heard her stomach grumble in response to no breakfast, which made Jasper give her a Ha-There-You-Go look. 

All of a sudden there was a huge resounding knock at their door. 

They slowly approached the door wary of who would be at the other side. As they inched closer another deafening knock made its way. 

Hurrying up a little Jasper went forward to open the door meanwhile pushing Vanessa behind him. 

He twisted the golden knob with Vanessa peeking from around him.

Jasper stood frozen staring at the visitor.
