You looked outside the car window. You silently watched as you passed by houses, trees, and people, and watched as the setting sun seemed to follow you everywhere. Each roll that the car wheels make got you further and further from the home that you knew. The home that you have worked for for years and years. The home where you have lived alone in peace. Up ahead, you saw the elementary school you were working for and passed by it as well.

Earlier that day...

"(Y/N), come with us," Feli said with a stern expression. Behind her, Lovino looked as if he heard her say that she swallowed a ball of a booger.

"What do you mean..?" You asked, uncertain.

"Come with us to our home. You will be safe with us."

"Wait! No, Feli that's too much. I can stay safe here, don't worry."

Feli shook her head. "Nowhere is safe for you now, (Y/N). Even in our home, we cannot guarantee that it is perfectly safe. But I promise you that it is safer than you staying here on your own."

You hated to admit it but she had a solid point. Still, you felt hurt. You couldn't imagine leaving the home you have worked hard for. But if you stayed, you would remain to be in constant danger.

With a sigh of defeat, you agreed to her plan.

You still remained silent as the view turned from buildings and trees into a the open sea. The cliff up ahead was where the Vargas' hotel was. You weren't going towards that direction. The driver turned right and the view of the sea was covered by trees once more. As you moved further and further, the forest got thicker and thicker. You grimaced when you thought about walking here alone in the dark, and it was already pretty dark. But at least there were lanterns placed every few feet.

Soon, you were nearing towards what seems like a private area. The driver stopped the car in front of a pretty gate which was heavily secured. The car was checked and when they saw the twins, they let the car in. Tall Greek styled walls that were aesthetically covered by ivy surrounded the vast land and in every few feet, there was a guard or two. Trees and bushes were trimmed to perfection, shaped into different figures. You passed by two bushes shaped into cupids and you thought it was very interesting.

Finally, a beautiful fountain came into view, and behind it stood a large and glorious mansion or maybe even a palace. There was a wide and tall white marble platform with white marble stairs in front before you get to enter the huge and sturdy Italian styled door. Outside, a butler was waiting, wearing a fancy suit and a clean and silky towel that was spread across his left arm.

The car stopped and Feli (who was sitting beside you) was assisted on getting off the car. She called to you to come down too and told the footman to help you out the car as well. You took his hand and got off. Feli pat your shoulder and offered a soft and assuring smile. You smiled a bit back and both of you ascended up the stairs, Lovino following behind and being assisted because he was injured.

Once they entered the door, a giant chandelier and a beautiful fireplace below a pair of gigantic stairs greeted you in the lobby. The lobby's floor was covered with giant plain tiles. Comfy looking couches were placed near the fireplace and between them was a bear carpet. You gaped.

"It's fake, don't worry," Feli assured. Behind you, Lovi chuckled.

"Yeah, really, Sorella?"

"Fratello."

"Fine, fine, yeah it's fake."

The two separate giant white marble stairs went up and met on the second floor. After the stairs were hallways that lead towards the left and right-wing. In the middle, right after the stairs across the hallway was also a huge door. You wondered where that would lead but you figured that you were going to find out later during the tour (which you assumed that they would give you) anyway.
