It was a woman with the silver white hair like Andre's and a pair of blue eyes. She looked at him saying something. Ryse couldn't hear what she was saying of course he couldn't, But then who had yelled at him to wake up? it definitely was not a female voice and it sounded in his mind.
The shock wore of as quickly as it came. He had always had some kind of dream encounter with those dreadful ghosts and he had learned to mask all of his fear the moment he wakes up. But he can not control his paleness or the cold sweat formed from fear.
He swallowed softly staring intently at the woman trying to read her lips. He was able to catch one word only 'Water' and he pushed himself up from the bed. She carried a glass of water in her hands and handed it to him. Her eyes took in his form with curiosity and she muttered something under her breath.
Ryse wondered if this woman was related to Andre, His sister perhaps. Because she was able to enter his home and did bore resemblance to Andre. He drank the water slowly, Moistening his parched throat.
----------------------------
Soft laughter echoed in the empty room decorated in dark blue entirely. On a dark blue sofa by the balcony sat a gorgeous woman Her dark brown chocolate colored eyes lowered gently as she wrote something in a beautiful purple diary. Her small hands holding the metal pen swayed as she wrote. Her black hair scattered over her shoulders falling just a little above her mid back.
The woman smiled softly and giggled lightly as she wrote again. Outside her room a man dressed in a black suit fixed his white gloves and knocked gently on the brown delicately designed door.
"My Lady, It is time for dinner" He spoke a little loudly so the woman inside could hear him.
"Okay" He heard her answer, He sighed softly and walked away. Cold sweat formed on his forehead as he thought of the lady. She was beautiful she was adorable but she was the scariest person he had ever met in all his life.
Even when he worked in an assassin's organization the boss wasn't as scary as this civilian lady. There was just something about her that raised his hackles caused to cower. Her voice was angelic but the words she said the first day he started to work for her caused his heart to skip several beats in succession, All because of the fear.
The gorgeous petite woman dressed in a navy blue skirt and beige off shoulder wearing a delicate blue silk choker around her neck and navy blue rose earrings adorning her ears walked out of the beautiful door. Her small feet wearing half inch heel sandals clicked gently on the marble floor.
She walked down the spiraling carpeted stairs passing several maids with their heads lowered and not making a single sound. The maids raised their heads as she disappeared down the stairway. Their hands shook slightly as they released sigh's of relief.
Their lady had never done anything to them or yelled at them or punished them but they still feared her and respected her. She was such a strong woman even though she was tiny and petite and didn't seem to hold any strength. Most of them hated that they were short and wished to be taller but their lady always carried herself with confidence and only smiled when someone commented on her height sarcastically.
The maids immediately picked up the pace resuming their work. The woman walked towards the hall decorated with gold chandeliers and dark blue walls and curtains. She sat down on the intricately designed chair. The woman in a maid outfit brought out the dishes placing them on the table. She bowed her head and retreated to the side.
The woman picked up the spoon to start her dinner when the double doors rudely slammed open and a tall nineteen year old girl rushed in. Her face was red and she seemed angry raising her she pointed to the woman screaming loudly.
"Maria you damned witch! How can you do this to Jason!!"
Maria did not react to her yelling she calmly placed down the spoon in her hand and tilted her beautiful face slightly sparing the girl a single glance and nonchalantly looking away.
"Don't ignore me Maria! Why did you hurt Jason like that he did so much for you!"
The maids in the hall frighteningly lowered their heads trying to decrease their sense of existence. The man in a black suite shuddered and immediately lowered his eyes.
'Little miss stop yelling at the lady if you want your life!'
Maria frowned and stared at the girl in annoyance.
"Shut up Jane Liliana. Who do you think you are to question me how i treat my fiance? Or maybe you love him and had an affair with him behind my back and planned to murder me and so thought you now have the authority to question me"
Jane suddenly became wide eyed in shock "Yo-You-"
"What? Surprised that i knew what you were doing with my fiance behind my back? Or that i knew you were planning my death with my fiance behind my back" Maria chuckled softly. Standing up from the chair she walked over to the girl who was half a head taller than herself. Raising her hand she grabbed the girls collar and yanked her down.
"Listen up you piece of filth. In this house i am the master i am the head i am the ruler and how i treat my people has nothing to do with you the illegitimate daughter whose mind is filled with greed and jealousy" Her dark eyes glinted dangerously, "And if you think i will let you go with that embryo in your stomach than you are wrong so very very wrong"
Jane screamed pushing her away "How did you know!? How did you know!?"
Maria showed an unsettling smile "My dear little child I always know everything even if it is in your thoughts or dreams"
"Monster! You are a monster!" Jane yelled in fear her pupils enlarged as if she saw death.
Maria smiled walking back to her chair ignoring the fleeing girl.She made herself comfortable and spoke, "Don't let her leave the manor, Kill her before sunset."
"The man in a black suite knew he was the one being addressed and immediately bowed his head in acceptance "Understood my lady, It will be done" He walked out and waved to the other six and headed after the fleeing girl.
"I am waiting till the day we meet" She whispered picking up her spoon to eat her dinner. "piece by piece pick up the bones~ Build em up don't let them know~ Chant the spell to awaken once more~ Hold their ashes until they vow~ Obey your words and heads they will bow~ Lights will shine the stage will glow~ Gather all we will start a show~ Let them sing along the flow~ Piece by piece pick up the bones~ Build em up don't let them know~" She sang as she ate.
The maids thanked all heavens above that they had gotten used to their ladies strange behaviors and no longer fainted from terror.
-----------------------------------
The door opened and the silver haired woman turned around with a big smile. Andre who came in froze in his steps.
"Why the hell are you here?" He asked rolling his eyes in annoyance.
"Why can't i come over to check on my baby brother" The woman laughed, "I finally met the person you wouldn't shut up about before. I admit he is pretty adorable"
"*sigh* Sister please just call me before you descend in my apartment next time" Andre walked over sitting on the bed beside Ryse who had only heard Andre and not hear what the woman talked about.
The two siblings talked and Ryse sat quietly listening to Andre wondering if this world has developed the hearing aid for the deaf yet. When the two siblings finally left his room to go prepare dinner Ryse picked up his phone and unlocked it. Activating the phone package he surfed the internet to look for the hearing device. The result for the search was disappointing the world had not developed those types of things yet.
Suddenly feeling the pressure in his lower abdomen Ryse closed the phone and removed the blankets slowly standing up holding the bed post. He felt a jolt of pain, He gritted his teeth and refused to call out.He felt embarrassed asking for help and so slowly he made his way to the attached bathroom expression slightly morphed in pain. Finally he made his way in the washroom, He released the breath he was holding from the pain and quickly finished his business. He stood with the support of the wall to wash his hands when he noticed something from the corner of his eyes.
Raising his head he looked at the mirror, His reflection seemed to smile faintly Ryse felt his heart jump. He must be hallucinating yeah that must be it. Quickly washing his hands he supported himself out not noticing his reflection that had not moved at all smiling widely at his back and whispering something that went unheard.
