Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

I woke up to the bright red sun shining through the window by my bed. I do not remember falling asleep. What time is it? I feel like I've just been run over or I drank way too much last night and it left me with a massive hangover. The last time I was hungover was when my work bestie went to a club. She called me while she was so shit-faced I could barely understand her. She needed me to come get her but we both got a little distracted.

I sat up in bed and literally rolled myself off the edge, landing on what felt like ice. I immediately jump up looking around at my feet. The floor was just that fake wood stuff which explains why my feet are so cold.

Looking around my room I find myself looking for normal hygiene things. There has to be like a brush or something around here. I open the nightstand drawer and find everything a girl could need. As I'm looking through all the things, a letter gets slid underneath the door.

"It would have helped if you sent this earlier Asa" I said to myself. I did as the note said and gathered some things for a shower.

I have been waiting for this. A nice hot shower to melt all my problems away for just a few minutes sounds to be really nice right about now.

Walking the hallway to the very end leads me to find a community bathroom. Disgusting. I shook that awful feeling away and walked to the farthest side of the showers, away from all the rest of the people in here and immediately hopped in the hot shower.

The hot water rushed from the shower head and completely submerged my body in damn near hell water. If feels nice to stand in the shower after what's been going on with my life lately. It's also a great place to think. I was thinking of a million things, like the fact I was kidnapped by two very hot guys, drugged, and brought to this creepy mansion, but I was mostly thinking about something I haven't felt in forever.

Combination of the hot water and thinking about... things, I needed to feel that release. With one finger I trailed down my chest, to my bellybutton, then to the spot. The spot that gives the most intense feeling. I moved down to the hole and pushed my finger in. In and out. In and out. Over and over untill I slipped a second finger in and kept going. I used my thumb to stimulate my clit as my very wet fingers moved in and back out again, faster and faster.

Moments passed and I am so close to the release I have been waiting for. I speed up, moving my fingers faster and faster untill...fuck...

I finished showering and changing. I packed my stuff back in the little bathroom carrier from earlier and made my way back to my room and put the carrier away. I guess that means it's time to make my way to the library. Grabbing my phone and keys, I left my room, locking it behind me. I open my phone messages and find that Asa had sent me a map of the entire institute.

"The map says to go this way". Talking to myself. I kept following exactly where the map said to go and down every hallway, taking every turn. I see a different painting of a weird symbol on all the walls walking past. I keep going and finally end up at the library. It was absolutely huge. Paintings everywhere and what looks like millions of books that covered every wall. The chandelier that hung from the ceiling was definitely very old and was probably very expensive.

I'm hearing faint whispers coming from the back and I find myself walking towards the voices but then, "Hi."A voice from behind me startles me to a stop. I turn to see literally the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. Kane.

"I see you've found your way just fine." He says. I can't think. I don't even think im breathing right now. He's so handsome. Am I always this distracted by hot guys?

He looks at me with concern, probably because I've been staring at him for what feels like five minutes without saying a word.

"Um yeah. Asa sent me the map. I have no idea how she got my number though." God I can't stop looking at him. All I can think about is what he's hiding under all his clothes.Then again I did just get kidnapped by these people. "Kane, why am I here?"

"Follow me. We'll tell you anything you want to know." His hand extended towards mine, offering it to me. Hesitating, I accepted his hand and he led me to a round table kinda like the mid-evil ones in the days of Knights and Kings.There was six seats that sat, Asa and Alex, and a very attractive girl I haven't seen before. She was wearing a black croped shirt and a shell necklace that she somehow pulled off. Kane and I take our seats on the other side of Asa. One seat left empy.

"What's going on? Why am I here? Also why is this room built round like this table? It's kinda creepy in here." No answer. Only the stares of everyone in here.

The room was quiet for a few moments before the girl I've never seen stands. "Im Emoria Watson. Im the head of battle training." She walks away from the table grabbing a black book from one of the shelves. " You'll need to read this." Setting the book in front of me. It says History of Guardians: What started it all . Emoria sits and Asa stands.

"Sorry about her," glaring at Emoria, "she has a thing with newbies." She starts off my telling me everything I already was told and ends by saying that they've been watching me for some time and feel I'd be a great addition to the team. What team is she even talking about? I still have no idea what's going on and everyone so far has been very vague.

"I don't even know what's going on. How am I supposed to join a team when all ik is that this is some creepy institution and I was drugged, kidnapped, and then whatever you gave me made me feel great then not so great." Taking a breath I continue. "What the hell is going on and why am I here?"

Kane looks at Alex and nods like he's giving permission for something. Alex then stands. " We followed you home." Pausing before speaking again. "I know that sounds bad, well all of this kind of sounds bad, but you're mother told us to keep an eye on you always. We've been watching you for sometime, this is just the first time you've actually seen us." Taking a breath he tells me they saw me stop at my favorite bar and put a sleep drug in my drink but the affects kicked in a little later than planned.

"Wait a minute, back up! You knew my mother? How can I believe you? I don't even know you!" I spat at him butfor some reason I find myself believing Alex.

" Yes. Long story short she worked here. She was our mentor, but then the accident..." He trails off shaking a memory of his brain. " Point being, she made you our responsibility. Once you crashed we tried to pick you up but the drug was wearing off fast so we had to sedate you before you ripped us apart. We got you here now because there's a war coming and we need you're help."

"Why do you need me? Im nothing special."

"Did you see all the paintings and artwork on the walls? That was done by our ancestors. They built this place to protect the rest of the world from what we know." Alex continues. "All the fantasies you hear as a child,..." He pauses looking at Asa and then Kane, both nodding for him to continue. "They're real. And we are the protectors. Guardians and healers and fighters. We work together to protect the outside world from what we like to call intruders."

"Who are the intruders? And that still doesn't answer why you need me." I say im a harsh tone.

Alex goes to continue but Kane steps in. " Magic exists. Vampires, werewolves, demons, soul keepers, and then there's the witchcraft. We all have something we can do. Do you understand what we're trying to say?"

"Do I have like powers or something?"

" You could say that. Read the book Emoria gave you. It'll explain. For now we have things that need attention. You'll be assigned a tour guide shortly. Someone to help you understand things here."

Everyone stands from the table and heads out. Kane lacking behind, looking back to me with those big beautiful eyes. Without saying a word he walks away.

Im left here to pounder what just happened. Still no questions answered. Still jist as confused. Still missing home.
