I watched as Rosina hugged her parents as they dropped us at the airport.  They then let go of each other.  "Sofi, stay close to your cousin at all times. You always get lost or end up doing something to disgrace our family. " my aunt said. I nodded my head as i agreed with her. Uncle stayed silent , that was his way of agreeing with his wife.

All the teacher's started counting their students. Everyone was excited because it was the first time our university went on outing.  They didn't have enough profit but this time my cousin Rosina won the math's pop competition . The school was then given twenty five thousand.  That is the money we using for our trip to korea.

I was seated next to an old woman . She was reading a book . Rosina sat behind me with her best friend,  Jasmine. Jasmine and Rosina planned what they were going to do in  the airplane.  They were going to watch blackish season five.

I put on my earphone and started listening to music. I closed my eyes as the airplane took flight.

My battary finally died out and it was night all ready. I took off my earphone and as i did that i noticed the old lady staring at me. Was she doing that while i was asleep.  I felt really creeped out.

"Aunt is there something wrong? " i asked her. "No dear , it is just that i was wondering why you seem to be all alone here. Don't you have friends? "She asked.
"I don't want to have friends." I lied. I did want friends but no one wanted me as one.

Rosina made sure of that. Ever since we started school.  She made sure to bully me and no one believed me because they thought she was a good girl and smart.  We have been in the same primary School until now. Her course is design while i was forced to take history as my course.  My aunt wants me to become a history teacher while their daughter a famous fashion designer. I wish i was far away from this place.

All night i could hear Rosina's giggles. Inside i felt like yelling at them to keep quiet but everyone would think I'm only doing that because i hate her. I don't hate her. I just dislike her. Wait isn't that the  same thing.

"Guys we have arrived. South Korea. " My teacher said. Everyone smiled so bright. It looked like their face would break.

We all entered a bus and it started its engine. I again sat alone away from my classmates. I watched the sunrise from the window.

The bus stopped in front of a huge old house. It looked ancient.

We all got out of the bus and stared at the building. "This is Major Hotel. " My teacher said. We all entered the hotel and we were greeted by rusty stairs and seats. "Welcome.  I am the manager of this hotel." the man appeared from nowhere said. He wore a suit and a tie. He reminded me of the movie men in black.

The man told us how famous this place was. The house belonged to an empress years ago . She was then murdered in this house and people believe she still hunts this house. But there is another story to this. The empress's sister said that she disappeared after entering a strange door. I believed the first story and so did everyone.

-"Guys why don't you explore the place." The manager said.. Everyone went in pairs except me. I decided to enter the empress's room. I have to be honest i expected it big but not this big. How i wish to be royal like her. I then looked at a door. I think it was her closet. I walked close to it but then stopped when i saw a light. The door was shinning. A word that wasn't there before appeared.  "Enter." i read the word out loud.  I walked slowly towards it and i held the door handle. Should i open it or not. Something in me said i should,  so i opened it slowly and entered.

I felt so relaxed at the moment. I was  wondering what i was laying on but i didn't want to open my eyes. "Oh my goodness,  there is a dead girl on me!"  someone shouted from beneath me. I immediately opened my eyes and i was staring into dark black eyes.  Immediately. I jumped off the person. I stood up straight but i was feeling dizzy.  "Who are you ? Did i faint in the empress's closet? Wait how did you get into this room and why is it empty? " i asked the young man in specs who was still laying on the ground staring at me in shock.  He was holding a wooden key . i think it was a key but now it's broken. I noticed it glowed for a minute then it faded . I then felt tired and i fainted.
