The was no word to explain the emotion I felt the moment i entered the room provided for me, with the door locked behind me.

It felt like dam broke behind my eye the tears kept coming rushing I wanted to scream but there were no sound. You can't blame me for losing myself to my emotions it's my mother's death we're talking about here.

I was woken up by the sound of knocking. I was too emotionally drained to answer so I laid there on the bed ignoring it the knocking got louder. Groaning i got up to answer the door.

' I better do before they knock a hole through the door.'

Opening the door I came face to face with a pissed off Hugo I don't know what he saw in my face but his face relaxed a bit.

"you look like shit." he said.

"i feel like shit." i said turning to head back to bed.

"hey, you can't go back to sleep yet." he angrily said.

"watch me." I said placing the covers over my head.

"oof"

"What the hell man." I yelled at him angry he removed the covers from my body. The air was cold as Fuck.

"your presence is required in the dining chambers." he said.

"tell them to Fuck off." I told him.

"it wasn't a request." he said smirking knowing he had won this round.

"I need to take a bath first and I need some clothes too." I said

"that can be arranged." he said as he walked out of the room not before flashing me a smug grin.

'bastard'

Looking around the room I saw another door apart from the one I opened earlier for Hugo.

Opening the door I was met with a bathroom not wasting time to look around I hopped into the shower, well not before I made sure it was the right temperature first.

I still couldn't get over what the old lady said about my mom being dead maybe she's lying trying to find my weak spot damn I can't believe i just believed what she said like that am such a fool for all I know Mom could be out there well and alive and not dead hell I don't know the damn old lady and i sure as hell shouldn't believe a word she and those other two old guys says.

Stepping out of the shower i dried my body with a towel I found, rampaging through thesink cabinet i found an unopened brush to brush my teeth.

I got out of the bathroom and on the bed were a set of clothes, trying them on they were a perfect fit i briefly wondered how they knew my size heck I don't even know my size I just throw on whatever feels comfortable.

Knock knock knock

Guess Hugo's here. i recognize his knocking parttern.

"can you at least knock a bit gentle your gonna knock a hole through the door." i said jokingly

"let's get going." was his short answer. Something was wrong I could tell despite not knowing him for long. But i didnt ask about it after all it wasn't my business.

"This is it. Just so you know this person she's... Just be careful." Hugo said all the while facing away from me.
