Rosa’s baby pink tea-length dress pops in contrast to the mostly white attire in her yard. The property stretches what seems like forever, with bright green grass and a stone road leading to the main door. Her expression speaks a million words as she approaches the two boys. She cuts off in front of Roman, glaring at him and releasing a loud sigh.

“Finally, you guys made it, I was getting bored waiting for you. And Masha’s so shy she won’t leave the room. Let’s go I want you guys to meet my parents”

The boys sigh in relief, preparing their bodies to take Rosa’s tiny slaps if it ever came to it. Though they might get hit after she finds out they didn’t pick up any gifts. Pacing around the large crystal blue fountain towards the door, the boys are eyed by the guests as their clothes are filthy, Roman even has a little blood on him. A woman with long brown hair and glasses cuts a conversation short as she notices the boys. Her glistening silver dress flowing like water as she walks over to them.

“My, my, Rosa told me some handsome young men would arrive today. So which one of you is going to be my son-in-law hm?”, the way she waves her hand as she speaks points to her being intoxicated.

“My name is Roman, it is a pleasure to meet you, madam,”, Roman holds her hand and kisses it.

“Nice to meet you, Ma’am!” Kai bows, hurting his neck.

“No need to be so formal, call me Elena from now on”

Rosa mumbles as she fills her mouth with pastries being offered to guests by a waiter. Almost as if she inhales the entire tray, Rosa swallows.

“So did you guys get me my gif-”

“So Kai buddy, how about we visit Masha, huh? She must be bored waiting for us to visit Right?”

“Yeah, you’re right, we should get going!”, so seamless. The two run up the stairs, avoiding eye contact with Rosa.

“Some interesting friends you have there, my dear daughter,”, Elena says as she watches the two go up the stairs.

“Yeah, that’s right. I showed them to you so you can make sure you never go near them. You got that?”, Rosa displays a never seen before expression directly at her mother.

“Yes, Yes I understand. We wouldn’t want another incident like before now, would we?”, Elena’s grin causes a cold sweat to run down Rosa’s face. She trudges up the stairs, eyeing Elena as a guest bombards her with conversation.

Kai pesters Roman, who stated he knew exactly where Rosa’s room was. Now they’re lost in this maze of a mansion with creepy, almost life-like statues placed around the halls. It’s as if they have eyes.

“Now look what you’ve gotten us into. I’m sure we’ve crossed that same statue three times now!”, Roman pushes Kai out of his face as even he is getting annoyed.

“Trust me it’s part of the process”, Kai puts out his hand in front of Roman’s chest stopping him from walking. The icy chill runs through his body. A black heel steps from the corner as Kai pulls the pistol from Roman’s coat.

There stood at the corner of the hall, pink hair and deep green eyes with a tattoo of a skull under her left eye. Sporting a red half jacket and black sports bra with black shorts and a cap with a name printed on it “Annabelle”

It was the girl from the top of the restaurant, the one in the school uniform. Who tried to slice Kai in half. She raises both her hands in the air and nervously smiles. She wasn’t a threat. The tapping of the wooden floor gets louder as a suited man comes from the corner pointing a gun at the two boys.

It was Llida.
