4 days later....
Anne woke up in a coffin. Not a normal funeral coffin, a decked out coffin. She was in the middle of a living room, in some house she didn't know. She could smell saltwater from a sea not that far away, probably somewhere outside the window. Then she saw him. A guy dressed in blue jeans and a t-shirt sitting on a couch reading a book. Anne carefully got out of the coffin. The guy didn't even get up, or move as a sound of recognition of her presence.
Anne then carefully walked over to where he was sitting. She said, "Hi, my name is Anne Lei Goodton." He just nodded, and then said, "I know."
"Oh, so where am I?"-A
"I'm not allowed to say."-G
"Oh, okay. So what can you tell me then?"-A
"What you already know."-G
"Oh, so pretty much my parents are dead, I've died 6 times, I woke up in a coffin in some house I don't even know, and met you someone I don't even know either?"-A
"Exactly."-G
" Oh great your such a big help you m***** f*****."-A
"Calm down, stay here, I'll be right back." Then he walked down a hall she didn't see before.
The next thing she knew. She is standing there swearing at the guy, then the guy returns with a note, and some more information. He told her that she had a brief concussion, that she was now under the Houses care, and that she is some sort of new species.
Anne was shocked, she wasn't sure she heard him right. He had said she had a brief concussion. Okay, she remembers a car, her parents, and.... her in a coffin. He had said she was under House care. Okay, which mostly means the place where she woke up is her new home. He also had said she was a new species. Okay, what is that suppose to mean? That she died, came back to life, got magic powers, and is living in an enchanted house with other magic people? Its just not logical.
When Anne was done being shocked she turned to the guy and said, "So if I'm a new species, are you one too?" He replied,"What do you think?"
"I think your either a species, or your a new species like me."-A
"Really?"-G
"Yes, that's what I think, so what new species am I?"-A
"I don't know, here's your room, you'll be living here till they find out what species you are. We have moved everything from your old house here, and we replicated your room. You are free to do whatever you want before 6:00 p.m. If you have any questions ask now."-G
"Uh, what happens at six?"-A
"Supper. Oh, before I forget some places are locked, and we have very high security too. So any form of escape is frowned upon. Any other questions?"-G
"Um, how many others live here?"-A
"You'll find out at supper. By the way my name is Damon. After supper I will give you some more information. So see you later, you may explore the House." Then he walked away.
Anne then went into the room that Damon had said was hers. When Anne opened the door, she was shocked. It looked exactly like her room at home. Damon had said they had replicated the bedroom, not got it spot on. Anne just couldn't believe it. She took her jacket off and hung it on her chair. She then went around her room and looked at her books and photos. She was sad, so she took all the photos of her parents and put them under her bed, the grabbed her jacket and left her room.
In the hall Anne had no idea which way to go, so she picked one side of the hall and started walking down it. When she got to the end there was a door. She opened it and found a grass green yard. She went through the door and took big breathes of fresh air. Its the first time in 4 days she's seen outside. She stays outside for about 10 minutes lying in the grass. Then she decides to go back in and explore some more, and back into the living room where she woke up.
She found another hallway and started down it. Down that hallway she found a library where she knew she would spend a lot of time. The she found the kitchen, and another living room, and more bed rooms, behind closed doors, which she could only assume were other peoples.
When she was done looking she made her way back to her bedroom. When she got back to her room she took off her jacket and hung it on her chair again. She then went to her bookshelf, grabbed a book and started reading on her bed. Around 4:00 p.m. Anne had finished the book, she decided to draw something so she grabbed her sketchbook and pencils then went down the hallway to the door that led outside.
When she got to the door she opened it and walked outside. She walked halfway between the building and the fountain, then started to sketch the scenery. When she was done she began coloring it.
By the time she was done, it was 5:30 p.m. So she decided to relax for a little while. She heard a twig snap. Turning around, she found Damon standing behind her. She said,"Hi, how are you?" Damon replied, "Okay."
"Ah, where am I?"-A
"You'll find out after supper."-D
"Why can't you tell me anything before supper?"-A
"Just can't."-D
"Well, fine! See you at supper." Anne snapped, storming off to her room.
When she got there, she slammed her door shut, and landed on her bed. She was so mad she forgot her sketchbook, but didn't care. She would get it after supper instead of learning from Damon. When it was 6:00 p.m. she got out of bed and headed to the kitchen, where she was surprised to see Damon. Anne then said, "Seriously, are you the only other person here?" Damon replied, "No, your here too."
"No, I meant are you and me the only two living in this whole house?"-A
"Maybe, you'll find out after supper."-D
"Fine!" said Anne angrily.
After they were done eating Anne said, "Okay, now tell me what you can....please." Damon replied, "Okay. You Anne Lei Goodton, are now living in Chaston, Oregon. This House belongs to a very powerful person who will train you and the other specials that live here, how to fight and protect yourself from the other powerful people out there who want to KILL YOU. I, Damon, am your teacher and guide to figuring out what you are. You must listen to everything I tell you to do no matter how insane. Tomorrow we start your training at 7:00 a.m. after breakfast in room 1. Now do you have any questions for me?"
"Yeah, what do I do after training on room 1?"-A
"After breakfast tomorrow you will get a schedule of your classes by your instructor. However we don't know what you are so we can't give you a schedule yet. You will report to room 1 everyday until I give you a schedule."-D
"Okay, one more question. What are you?"-A
"That I can't tell you. However I can tell you I'm one of a kind."-D
"Oh, okay, then, thanks for all the info., but what do I do now?"-A
"Well, many different things. You could go back to your room, draw in the art studio, study your species in the library or just read a book. Go outside, relax in a living room, or create your own music in the music studio."-D
"Sweet, thanks!!" Then they parted and went there separate ways.
Damon went down the hallway towards the living room, and Anne could only assume his room was there, so she went down the hall towards the library. When she got to the library, she decided to quickly look for a book. She found a book titled, How To Cope With Tragedy. After deciding to read it, she headed back to her room, when she realized she left her sketchbook outside earlier when she was mad. So she went to the door that led outside and couldn't find her sketchbook. She was shocked, she was sure she left it outside. Then it registered, Damon, he was outside. He was the one that had made her mad. He was the reason she left her sketchbook outside.
She went back in, past the library, kitchen, living room, and then started opening doors. She came across the music studio room, then she saw a door slightly ajar. She peeked her head in and saw Damon. He was at a canvas just sitting there with a pencil in his hand. Anne thought it was the weirdest thing, till she saw him start drawing.
He drew with such delicacy she thought she was imagining it, until she saw the even strokes, and that he was drawing something in his head, nothing that was in the room. Anne then decided to ask him in training tomorrow morning about it. So she turned and was walking past the music studio when she caught a flicker of light off the wall.
