aspen leaned towards the vent, a few baby hairs falling from her ears. She saw a plain white room filled with what you might find at a regular doctor's office. "I thought he was a psychologist?" she thought to herself. It was empty. It was so empty it gave her a sense of peace. she slowly moved on to the next room. Where she saw a younger looking girl in a hazmat suit standing around grapes of paradise and other plants aspen never saw before. she couldn't help but to let out a sigh and after realizing how loud she was being she put a hand over her face in fear. "Well, fuck I'm not a very good spy" she thought while stepping away from the vent so when the girl looked up, she wouldn't be seen. Aspen waited until she herd footsteps out of the room. Aspen once again looked. Upon gazing she saw these plants hovering in the middle of a transparent bubble. It was once of the most beautiful things she ever layed her eyes upon. she watched the bubbles slowly move but the plant never moved at all. Aspen looked at her bag carrying her notes along with everything else. she slowly took it off her shoulders. Trying her best to not be herd. she decided to not spend all her time staring a plants no matter how much she wanted to.

The next room she was looking into had L.E. Verden's desk and bookshelves. complete with a phone sitting neatly upon his extremely sparkling and clean desk, so clean it was like he never used it and a maid cleaned it every day. there were no scuffs or marks on the dark deep wood desk, Aspen thought of her work desk at home and thought to herself. "It couldn't be me." all of sudden while Aspen was looking for clues on what he did in this building because she hadn't yet seen that even looked close to a psychologist office. Verden walked in, sweating and rubbing his forehead and he paced the room twice and then looked up and started sniffing. "Oh, come on I don't sink" aspen thought to herself. and moved away from the vent. Verden sat his desk and pressed a button on his phone. "I know this is probably going to be a weird question. but has someone let my wife in my office? it smells like her in here but not quite like her at the same time.

ahh, thanks away." and hung up the phone. he then very slowly while looking all around grabbed a brief case and left.

Aspen made the decision of hoping out of the vent so she could move freely. that way she could get from room to room easier. Her thinking relied on the idea that they had to leave sometime and then she would be free to do whatever she wanted. look wherever she saw fit. Witches didn't smell like humans every bloodline had a very large smell coming from their skin at all times. Ancient blood lines could be smelled from a mile away not giving the gift of stealth to any ancient bloodline unless using a masking spell, which exceed her knowledge. Aspen hadn't gotten that far in her study's and since it was never a problem, she never had to worry about it. Aspen's absent mind also didn't think to pounder about how she was a witch and none of her family was. Aspen wasn't stupid but had let her grief get into the way of logical thinking. After lifting the vent aspen slowly floated to the floor. she tip-toed to his desk. she opened the first drawer, and it was empty. the second and third were the same. frustration overtook her mind, and she sat in his chair. She started second guessing herself if it was wrong or right but the constant reminder of the grapes of paradise and whatever that girl was doing just made her more curious.

Aspen walked to the door and cracked it to see what lied ahead. she didn't see anyone.

she walked to a room and slowly opened the door it was a white room full of cabinets and an island table in the middle. This confused her so she started opening them. she saw files and files. In the first cabinet all the vanilla folders read experiments. she started looking through one by one and each time her stomach started filling more upset. What she found was sickening. All these folders had all the people's crimes and then how faction one's had them over and he prefects his drugs. She walked to the second cabinet, it was full of potions but the one she couldn't get passed was a vile that had Underground traveler. She grabbed it and stuck into her Bra. Aspen's face went white because it just occurred that she was probably in the office of the most dangerous man in their world. she quickly ran back to his desk in the other room. aspen started biting her nails and looking around. In a frenzy of panic, she opened up the window and floated to the ground. She puts her socks and boots on and calls her broom and went home. As her feet hit her grass, she took a huge deep breath. walking to her door she found a bouquet of all white roses. the card attached writing was D.

"The cop?" she thought and took it inside and put it in a vase. By the time it was done she found herself fighting sleep while walking. she tumbled on to her living room couch and her eyes slowly closed.

She woke up in the middle of the night she looked over at the clock ticking on the wall 4:00 am

Panic sunk in her bones, her hands trembling. "I left my bag in the attic". She had class in two hours and if she had missed her classes causing someone to look for her wasn't ideal while trying to steal her bag out of the scariest doctor's office in the world. "What should I do? Maybe Eden can help."
