World of opportunities, choices, and mistakes

Next steps

The next day had just come to grips a few hours before the group had arrived at there destination that was in a far of to the side part of what was surrounded by the walls of Osiris, which standing in front was then was a massive house. The old grey stones gave the emphasis on the castle based design with the roof being surrounded by turrets clung to by dark green ivy. The front room looked to be looking out onto the pristine gardens with manicured lawns and hedges surrounding the estate. Leading from the house was a long gravel drive that stretched into the distance leading back to the main campus of Osiris. "Say hello to your new home." Alice said as they got to the front door, of a huge mansion, that could rival the size of Osiris academy. "Wait we're gonna be living here?" Asuka asked gawking over the massive building in front of here. "Yep, and you have Elise to thank for it." Alice said. "Like hell, it's cos of me, I ain't the one paying for this place." Elise said as he just stood at the back of the group with Mika. "Well whoever it's because of it's still a really nice house either way, but are you sure we can live here Alice it looks too well kept to be abandoned?" Miss Yuuki asked. "Who said it was abandoned, it was moved out of last week and now it's being given to you lot." Alice stated. "Well then what are we waiting for let's go in then if this place is ours." Asuka said while going to open the door, not realising that it was locked so instead of managing to open it she just pulled on the door with it not moving while everyone else just looked and laughed a bit. "It's locked isn't it?" She finally asked. "Yep." Alice said pulling out the key and tossing it to Elise, who caught it. "You in a way got everyone this house so you should do the honours." Alice said, but Elise just shook his head. "I'll leave it to Asuka cos I wanna talk with you a bit before you leave." Elise said as he walked over to Asuka handing her the keys. "Alright." Alice said, as Asuka managed to unlock the massive double doors of the mansion, and was met with a familiar face. "Hey guys." Max said with a small smile. "As you wanted Max is here, but anyway have a look around and see what you guys think." Alice said, which most of them just rushed in to go see what it was like on the inside, but instead Mika stayed next to Elise. "I'm guessing she's gonna stay during our talk then." Alice said, which both Elise and Mika nodded to. "Alright well what do you wanna talk about?" She asked. "One why the hell did Hazama show up to Terrumi's place and kill him, and second what's it that we are doing then?" Elise asked, but Alice took a few moments before answering. "I have no clue why Hazama showed up, nor why he killed Terry, as for that, I think we should wait to discuss that one since you lot have clearly gone through some hardships and are getting used to new surroundings." Alice said. "He was looking for me and you Elise." Mika stated. "And Terrumi was telling him he had no clue where either of us where so he died protecting us." Mika continued. "And how are you sure of this, Charlotte said all of you where hiding in the other room?" Alice asked. "Just cos I'm in a different room doesn't mean I can't hear what's going on in the other rooms." Mika said as she then started to walk indoors, when she was indoors Elise then asked Alice another question. "What did Hazama want with Mika?"

After a few minutes of being shown around the different rooms of their new home Max has now shown them to where half of the bedrooms where, half meaning ten of the bedrooms, all ten of these rooms where connected by one central room with two of the bedrooms being connected to the three walls around the room while the last four were higher up on the wall connected to the lower half of the room via a balcony that looks into the standard room that houses the entrances to all the bedrooms, which had a few couches and comfortable looking chairs around a coffee table in the middle of the room with a pool table a bit behind one of the larger couches. "So what do you guys think of what you've seen so far?" Max asked. "It's better than all the houses I've dreamed of living in." Asuka stated. "You and me both Asuka." Charlotte said. "It's an amazing house that's for sure." Miss Yuuki said. "Yeah and I thought it would be fun if we all stayed in the rooms in here since each one of the doors, other than the one we entered, leads to bedrooms." Max said. "You guys can do that but I prefer having a bit of space so I'll go look around and see if there are any other rooms." Mika said as she turned up, only to turn back round and walk away from everyone. "Well even without Rin, and probably Elise..." "Wait why Elise as well?" Max asked, interrupting Charlotte's train of thought. "Oh that's right you wouldn't know." Asuka said. "Know what?" Max asked. "Well, when Elise walked away from Osiris and Alice, he was done being with her and then went and saved Rin, and got with her instead so, if Rin is gonna be staying in a different set of rooms we believe Elise will too." Miss Yuuki explained. "Okay." Max said. "Well either way it means it will still be the four of us in this part..." "Five." Alice said as she now entered the room interrupting Charlotte. "After talking it out with Elise im gonna be staying with you guys as well, on the condition that I explain more about myself." Alice stated, as she then started to go on explaining about her age and how she is Hazama's child, and the fact that she is the one who discovered the fact that people can have powers and about the silver eyes. "Well that's quite a bit you've been through." Charlotte said jokingly, as Asuka walked up to Alice, and slapped her across the face. "That's from my farther to yours, since I know for a fact Elise will get to him before I have a chance to." Asuka said on the verge of tears. "That's understandable." Alice said while rubbing the now red mark on her face. "But for now let's get settled in, currently your things from Osiris are stored in one of the rooms in here so find them and move them to another room if you want or just stay in the room your stuff is in." Alice stated, as she finished talking, Miss Yuuki and Asuka went looking for there stuff. "What about Elise's where are his?" Charlotte asked. "Oh his are in the room him and Mika are currently finding." Alice stated. "Fair enough, well I'll go have a look for my stuff now." Charlotte replied as she went off to find her stuff.

"So he's after me?" Mika asked Elise. "Yep." He replied. "But nobody has a clue why that is?" Mika asked again. "Not that we know of." Elise said in a cold tone. "At least we should be safe here." Mika stated. "Yeah but I'm gonna be heading out tomorrow morning, got some questions I need to ask to someone." Elise stated as he sat down on the edge of the king sized bed put again the back wall of the master bedroom that him and Mika where told to find by Alice. "Then let me go with you, that should make it easier to get questions from them." Mika said. "No, this has to be done alone." Elise said. "You better not be going to find Hazama." Mika said while crossing her arms. "I'm not that stupid, Mika, and you know that." Elise said. "Yeah that's true, but it would still help if you told me who you was gonna go and see." Mika said. "It's a bit more complicated than that isn't it Elise?" Asked Max who was stood in the door listening to what they were saying. "What about anything that's happened since we got it Osiris been simple." Elise jokingly stated. "Yeah that's true, but you wanna go back to the store so you can sneak into Hazama's office to have a look through his files to try to find what's going on?" Max asked. "Elise please tell me that isn't it?" Mika asked, Elise looked away and let out a small sigh. "You got any better ideas?" Elise asked. "Yeah we don't do that and risk your life, just to get some stupid files." Max said. "Not an idea a statement, but I agree with it nonetheless." Mika said. "Well it's not like we have any better ideas." Elise said. "Can't you always just asked your uncle about this?" Mika asked. "Never know who's in there, especially after what happened last time we were there." Elise said. "That's a good point but still shouldn't we at least go check if they have the info we need?" Mika asked. "If they have any info at all about Hazama and what he is truest after it's worth a shot then isn't it?" Max asked. Elise just fell back into the mattress and sighed. "Come on Elise you have to agree with us, I mean it's smarter than being in the guy who killed someone while looking for you two." Max said. "It's not that simple though is it Elise?" Mika asked, but Elise didn't answer. "He knows about witches and the easiest ways of finding them doesn't he?" Mika asked, which Elise nodded to. "So you believe he might be Hazama's next target?" Max asked, Elise nodded once again. "So if we go and ask him for stuff and Hazama shows up you think we would be screwed?" Mika asked. "Considering he can do something along the lines of slowing time around him and he has that knife that takes souls I don't think we could win this one, at least not yet." Elise stated. "What do you mean by not yet?" Max asked. "We all need some training before this shit goes downhill fast." Elise stated. "So I guess that's our next step then." Mika said. "I guess so." Max stated.
