Chapter 8 - safe at last

Dressed in a really nice all black suit. He offered his hand up to me and helped me out of the helicopter. Without saying a word he gestured to take my things. Then another man dressed like him smiled as he neared me and asked me to follow him. I nodded and followed closely behind him. We reached a door that was closed and looked like it was locked. He placed his thumb on this tiny screen. I saw a light from beneath and then the door opened on its own. We walked at a pretty good pace through the halls. We walked passed at least five different doors on each side before we reached the living room parlor area. The couch itself is where he stopped and said please have a seat. I noticed the couch he led me to was covered by a sheet. I'm assuming it was set up that way because they think I'm dirty. So I carefully sat down making sure the sheet still converter the couch. When he returned he handed me a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows and cinnamon. Then he said please drink it slowly it is hot. The masters of the house will be here with you shortly. Then he excused himself and continued on his way. I was about halfway through with my drink when a cute little kitten walked up to me and jumped on my lap. It was black with some gray with blue eyes. I think it's a siamese cat. Another one followed quickly behind but it was all white with blue eyes. Both were very friendly. The white one sat directly on my feet and both started to purr. I heard something fall so I stood up to look around. A woman was standing there with the tiniest smirk on her face. She looked at me and said hello my name is Hope and my husband will be here shortly. You can call him Uri. I smiled lightly and then Uri came out of nowhere. He was dancing towards Hope, grabbed her by the hand and spun her around. She began to blush as she fixed her hair. They both looked over to me and he half bowed to me, arm extended with a smile then said welcome it's a pleasure to meet you. They both chuckled as I stood there a bit speechless. It was in that moment I remembered something from my past. It was during one of my real parents parties. All the guest walked in and were dressed up in costume. As they entered they all shook my father's hand, kissed my mother's hand and bowed to me. I'm sure it was just role play though since we were always dressed as royalty and the parties were for fun I suppose. I shook my head trying to clear the thoughts before I began to cry. My eyes refused to listen and started to fill. So I quickly turned around and wiped them clean. Then I said I suppose I just ruined the introductions my Lord and lady. Perhaps we may continue this once I've freshened up. The butler quickly made his way to me and took me to the restroom. I stood there in front of the mirror for quite some time. These people seem to be normal. They don't seem like royalty in the slightest way. Yet they have at least two butlers and I noticed a few maids along the way. I shook the thoughts from my head and started to get undressed. The bathtub is huge. I could probably swim in it. It has six shower heads with a plate in the center and an extended handheld showerhead. There's three dispensers in there each labeled for their purpose. Even the toilet itself had it's own water spout. The mirror was lined with light bulbs all the way around it. All in all it's a really nice bathroom and the water gets really hot. After I was done showering and getting dressed I walked back to where I last seen them. All my things and the sheet that was covering the couch was gone. I tried to call out to Hope, Uri and the butlers but no one came to my call. So I began walking around. This house reminded me of my real parents home. Oh how I miss my family home. I've been wandering around for at least ten minutes when I finally found both Hope and Uri standing at the end of a long hallway. They looked over at me and motioned for me to come closer. When I reached them they opened a Storage room filled with things. Told me to please look through this room whenever I needed anything. Then continued towards a door. They opened up four different doors and said I can pick the one I want the most. Then said that if I wanted I could tell the maid and butler assigned to me what I wanted from each area and how I would like it placed. Then told me that none of those were my bedroom. They led me down towards the center and opened up the third door on the left and said this would be my room. I walked in and noticed just how big the room really was. It was almost as big as my room back home. Walk in closet was a little smaller but I had my own bathroom in the room. My entire floor was covered in off white long haired carpet. I had a mirror that covered both doors to my walk in closet. A large flat screen that covered at least half the wall with speakers and a dresser that was lined beneath it. The dressers were long and filled the entire bottom of the wall from left to right. On it I had a few things already placed like a vase with flowers, a small standing mirror, music box and a few other trinkets. My bed had a off white canopy over it like you would see in movies for princess. My walk in closet had wall shelves, and a bunch of other things in it for clothing and other things. Once I was done picking out the things I wanted I just sat down on the recliner in my room and turned on the lamp next to me. On the table next to it, I saw a journal but it was empty on the inside. There was also a drawing book and a bunch of art supplies. I picked up the art book and decided to draw. Halfway through my drawing I smelled something delicious. I decided whatever it was I wanted some and followed my nose. When I reached the kitchen I saw Hope standing on the kitchen cooking. She turned towards and me said to please have a seat at the dinner table. I nodded and walked over and the butler liked a seat out so I quickly walked over and sat in it. Both of them had a ton of questions and we talked pretty much throughout the entire dinner. It was very comforting. Then the butler bright dessert. Best food I've had in a long time. It tasted like my mom's cooking. The meat was tender and the vegetables were crispy but fully cooked. The gravy was thick enough to sustain itself but thin enough to pour it. I just have looked like a pig as I slowly shoveled all my food and got up for seconds and thirds. I think I had a bit too much to eat and decided to go back to my room. I laid down and wanted to watch a movie but fell asleep in the very beginning. When I woke up everything was off except a small soft light. Another nightmare was had. It was a replay of the last few weeks. Scared and unaware of where I was I jumped up and was getting ready to fight. I headed to the bathroom and did my business and went back to my bed and slid into my blanket. Closed my eyes and a thought can't to mind. After the day I had, sleeping for a few days seemed like a great idea. Smiling at the thought of sleeping as my body agreed with the thought. As I melted into my bed and slowly drifted back to sleep.
