I awaken a little bit dazed, I sit up but end up whacking my head on something hard "what the hel-"
"Aria, just relax, the Beautifier is just winding down" I remember where I am and follow Morgans instruction, as the bed exits the machine.
As soon as I am up, Morgan rushes me through the different stations in the room, from hair to makeup I am finally getting my final touches when a peculiar looking woman walks in, she is neither ugly nor pretty, but she walks with a grace about her. " Just in time Delilah, we were about to go through to wardrobe. Delilah nods then walks through a different door.
Shortly after, Morgan and I are plowing through the same door.

I don't think I'll ever stop being surprised by the enormity of this place, we walk into what appears to be a hotel corridor, we walk down until we reach a door with my initials engraved.

As Morgan opens the door, I almost faint, in front of me is what looks like a giant boutique store and I just know that this is my wardrobe.

After only a short time, I am given time to join the rest of the girls for lunch. As I walk towards the delicious smell of food, I am suddenly grabbed by the arm and yanked between a tight space.
"Princess you have a lot of explaining to do" the mocking tone belongs to Caleb
"What are you talking about ogre" but he does not respond, he simply just walks off. I get the feeling I am supposed to follow, so I do.
We walk through the hallways and out into a beautiful garden, but Caleb doesn't stop here, he walks further until we reach a hedge wall with a wooden gate. Caleb swings open the gate after punching some numbers into a keypad. I follow cautiously, my mother always warned me about being alone with strangers, but I know I am safe, there is something that is pulling me towards where Caleb leads.
Caleb quickly spins around when the gates shut and grabs me roughly by the shoulders "listen carefully Aria" I know something serious is about to be said because he uses my name, I pay him all my attention "what I am about to show you could get us both killed, there are major secrets in this school, it isn't as nice as you may think" funny because of all the words I would have used to describe this place, nice was not on the list. "Look there are things I can't explain but I may have found a loop hole, you just have to promise to act normal okay?" Okay now I was starting I worry, but I was more curious than I was scared so I found myself nodding my head in agreement. Caleb and I walked in silence for a good ten minutes when we finally came to a stop at a little shack.
"Welcome to my home, princess" Caleb swept his arm out as he opened the door and gave a little bow. But instead of laughing or acknowledging Caleb in anyway, my eyes were fixed on who was standing inside Caleb's home.

"Xander?"
