Chapter 2 SAVED BY A STRANGER

Welcome home Young master" they chorus "prepare the breakfast tray ,bring it to the second floor".Karl orders

Still engrossed with the outstanding exterior she (Clara) is force to face an exquisite interior with marble floors, nearly translucent drap curtains coupled with the expensive furniture. "Never would I have imagined my dream house like this ".

Karl brings her up to the second floor and guess what an elevator in a FREAKING house. What next an indoor swimming pool? . We walk into what looks like a mini sitting area. He opens a door that I didn't realize was there until now. A big princess like room appears with a reading table, a library by the side with books all lined up just begging me to read them (simply means the books look like they have been there for a long time).

Thank I said trying to lighten up'I still feel guilty' "Don't worry it's just a slight headache "

Conversation in Claras mind

Bad clara ;Well you are the reason that we're in this condition

Good Clara;Yes but he's also the reason we're not on the street.

Bad clara ; For once could you not just agree with my point of view.

Good Clara; No

There a knock on the door a woman who seems to be in her early 30s walks in with a trolley. The aroma hits Clara nose unable to control her. Her stomach makes a loud rumbling sound. They both stare at her. " o goddess me that was so embarrassing " she thought. Karl and the maid continue to stare longer Karl eventually glares at her she gets the unsaid message and leaves quickly. Karl serves breakfast; pancakes, waffles ,eggs,toasted bread with honey flavored tea. She says a quick prayer and starts eating half way through she asks " won't you have some ,I know you haven't eaten. " " Don't worry about me "

"Here" he passes a bag to me containing medications.' That doctor ....Jason you know him'. 'Hmm an old friend. I take the tablet and immediately start to slowly lose consciousness.

ROAR 🦁

Clara was awoken by the roar of some animal but which animal is this loud. Clara then opened her eyes to see nothing but pitch black fur body ,huge claws, blazing red eyes staring at her.

Running through the house and into the forest. Running until my feet couldn't take it anymore and gave in.

Surrounded by trees I turned around to find anything to defend myself but there was nothing.

Clara felt the temperature rise wiping the sweat tricking down she turns around slowly.

Those blazing red eyes staring at her as it raised its paw to strike at her. Suddenly pulled back from her by a person in a black cloak. He stares feriously at the beast and delivers a frightening blow on its face. The beast seems to at an advantage due to its size. It towers over the stranger but he seems unfazed by it.

I myself am unsure of what happened next but the beast now has a scar across its left eye adding to its already ferocious appearance. The stranger stands with a dagger dripping with what should look like blood but its not red it's Green.

After nearly that it ran off into the forest leaving behind no trace of its presence even the drops of the green blood had disappeared.

Clara look to thank the stranger turning to face him. She took her chance and took off the hood to find KARL. YOU?

"It's been a long night " I thought I heard him say but his lips weren't moving "SLEEP".

Before Clara could process all that happened she found herself slowly losing consciousness.

I woke up to find myself on the bed but it's still dark outside. Clara turned on the bed lamp to drink water but the jug was empty she got out of bed , opened the door and head to the kitchen but finds herself in front of a extremely large wooden door ( silly me ) she thought. I'm not in James house anymore .But then she heard voices like there were people in there.

Somehow she knew that The door wasn't locked so her curiousity over threw her sense of reasoning .she reached forward to open the door when

"Up so late " Clara squeal surprised "you stared me " " you gave me a heart attack " " what are you talking about "

Karl: Aren't you supposed to be asleep

Clara: I was just thirsty so I came to get a glass of water but I got turned around and Somehow ended up here.

Karl: come I'll show you to the kitchen

Clara follows him , fills her jug . He accompany her back to make sure she doesn't get lost again. They wave goodnight to each other.

IN KARL'S ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR.

He walks in and locks the door ,picks his phone to dial Jason .

Jason: First off I can't see you so I don't know if you look like your joking. Second I know you don't appreciate humans so the pill I gave her should have her asleep for at least 24 hrs.
