Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 28: Run Away With My Love

In front of them was a huge mansion over the hill, located at the outskirts of Nagoya.

"Holy.... Shit...." JiU whistled as she looked around her. The mansion was gigantic.

"This is just ridiculous." Dami snorted.

"Yeah, I told Cal not to build this big ass house, but you would be surprised to hear that we need expansion." Nana chuckled.

"Come on. He's waiting in the workshop." Jurina led them in.

The inside of the mansion gave a Renaissance vibe. The Dreamcatcher walked slowly, admiring the beauty of the mansion's interior. Suddenly an AI appeared in front of them, and this time Yoohyeon reacted rather than SuA.

"Waaa!!!" Yoohyeon screamed, hiding behind Dami.

"Relax, she's an AI. Hey Alice. Cal still in his workshop?" Jurina greeted Alice, the AI.

"Yep! Hey, whose kids are those?" Alice pointed at the Dreamcatcher.

"We're Dreamcatcher. I'm JiU, this is SuA, Dami, Handong, Siyeon, and that coward over there is Yoohyeon." JiU introduced herself and her members to Alice.

"You're an AI, right? We also have one, Artemis." SuA nodded at Alice.

"Do not speak of that name in front of me! That tramp is an embarrassment!" Alice suddenly got angry. It took all of them by surprise. Alice regained her composure and began to speak politely again.

"Ehem! Sorry, that was impolite of me. Just the mention of that name really pisses me off!! Sorry again. And yes, Cal is in his workshop. I'll tell him you are coming." Alice bowed her head and disappeared, leaving all of them dumbfounded.

"What caught her panties in a bundle?" Dami asked.

"She and Arty were made with the same codes. Dunno why, but both of them always butting heads. Tryna prove which is the better one." Nana chuckled. And suddenly out of nowhere a voice echoed.

"I'M THE BETTER ONE! TELL ARTY TO KISS HER FAT ASS!!" Alice voice reverbed across the hall. Nana just smiled pointing at the ceiling.

"Okay, Alice. You're the best. Come on. Let's get to the workshop." Jurina chuckled and led the way. They walked along the hallway adorned with Renaissance decorations and paintings.

"Are the painting originals?" Handong asked Jurina as she observed the painting in detail.

"No. Replicas. Cal said the original shouldn't be kept for one's vanity, but for the world and the next generation to see." Jurina kept on walking.

"Wow, how noble of him." Yoohyeon responded in awe.

"He appreciates history more than anyone I know. 'Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'. He hold this quote in his heart like a religion." Nana replied.

"George Santayana. Wise man." Dami nodded in agreement.

They arrived in front of an enormous family portrait. On it was Calintz, Jurina, and Nana, donned in traditional Japanese outfits.

"Wow... Unnie. You look beautiful. And Nana unnie! Why did you cut your hair short? You look so much better with long hair!" Siyeon exclaimed.

"Wedding picture?" Yoohyeon asked Jurina.

"Yes. Long story." Jurina replied shortly as she put her palm on the edge of the frame. The wall besides the frame dematerialized, exposing a doorway. She asked them to wait outside first as she entered.

"Alice, override security protocol. Input recognition data into the security database for 6 temporary personnel. Security override code; Charlie, Bravo, X-Ray, 002. Codename Center." Jurina requested Alice.
