Chapter 6: Family Ties
The Air was cool as we travelled down a dark stone corridor. It felt unnatural. The only light allowed was made by torches. In all reality it was as though the proclaimed mansion was a prison.
" It really is aweful that my other siblings get the better rooms while get the old torture chamber." Sigh. " At least the servants cleaned and prepared it for me." The girl said dejectedly. We reached a large door that was 7 feet wide by 8 feet tall. It was made of a dark wood that gave off a feeling of gloom.
The girl pushed her hand against the door. With a squeel, the door moved outward revealing a very bright hallway. Paintings lined the walls. The floor was a deep crimson with gold floral print. The air warmed and was made more lively with noises from servants moving about in victorian uniforms.
I watched through the bars of my cage. The people moved by so fast they seemed like a blur. The smells were too strong. Chicken, Pork, Sweet, Sour. It was so overwhelming that I was starting to get a headache. I laid there breathing through my mouth without focusing on my senses.
The Girl kept moving. Eventually we reached a pair of large silver doors. They opened with such a cold silence, it was unnerving.
We stepped into a large room. There was a long table that was filled with an enormous amount of food.
"Samantha... I didnt expect you to join us for dinner." A thick gravelly voice echoed through the room. A man was sitting in a high backed chair at the head of the table. On his right sat a thin older woman. Her hair was the same as the girls. Her eyes were grey and seemingly lifeless. As though they couldn't see anything. " Samantha?... Samantha is here? Come, sit and eat with us. It's been too long." Her voice was clear like crystal. But it was only when she turned that I realised that she was blind.
