The Triple Hybrid

Chapter 27 - Visits In The Forest

        Days... what can I say more? In the first three, four, maybe five days at home were good. It took me a whole day trying to see and remember all the rooms and other things of the huge mansion. And honestly it was really complicated, many rooms and small rooms and a house with three floors. As I can remember the house has eleven bathrooms, eight bedrooms - all of them to couples - there were three small rooms to stay - which, according to what I realized, belonged to each brother of Klaus, and one including for him, - and two small rooms were empty. There were two huge living rooms, a dining room even huger and a kitchen the same size of the living room. Why so much space? I asked myself. I only could answer that by the same response Elijah told me, to show the power who attended there.

                On days when Klaus wasn’t at home, I would sleep with my two friends in their room. Our bed, and mine Klaus’, was huge and if I slept there alone I felt even more alone.

I was there for two weeks and had not seen anything. So I woke up in the tangle of sheets and looked at Klaus, who was already looking at me.

        “Can I go outside today?”

        He raised an eyebrow, and by the look, he was thinking about the plans for the day. “Ok… go dress yourself, we only have until lunch.”

        “But it’s already nine... We haven’t got much time.”

        “So you better hurry up.” He smiled. In ten seconds he was already dressed, only missing buttoning his pants. I still had just gotten out of bed. “I'm waiting for you Love.”

        “Oh, that’s not fair, then choose my clothes.” I said for him to choose quickly. In two seconds he brought me some leather pants, a fair red sweater. The shoes were shallow.

        After getting dressed in three minutes, I looked in the mirror. “You're about six centimeters taller than me, if I don’t use heels, I’ll seem very short.”

        “I always heard that heels are bad for the column, it’ll hurt.”

        “You're quite right, but heels with only two centimeters, make so much more difference...”

        “You are so beautiful like that, now come on, we're wasting time.”

        “I haven’t applied makeup on.”

        “Today is not necessary.” He opened the closet door. He gave me a wig that looked real hair, it was black. I took it and placed it the proper way. It was so strange, white skin, blue eyes and black hair.

        “How do I look like?”

        “With that suit and with that kind of hair? Marvelous. But I prefer your gorgeous blonde hair.”

        “Well, come on, I'm pretty excited about this.” I reminded of my friends. “And what about Jane and Joanne?”

        “They are already awake, and they are already dressed, so they are ready, it’s just missing the part of the invite them.”

        We started by the city center. The music was reaching to our ears. While I was walking by the streets I was taking many pictures of everything, whenever we met a group of people playing jazz or blues I filmed, and when they ended playing the music I asked to take a picture with them. Klaus told me to be careful with the vampires.
