Lolita (10)

The door read Horrigan. She opened the door with a loud creak and ushered me inside.

The room had two large old-style candle lamps around a dark brown coffin. The coffin had white vine trimmings on the side with silver handles. The lid had a large bouquet of lilies sitting on top withered away with time. As I stepped closer towards the coffin I can hear the faint sound of harp music coming from the inside. "This is Lady Horrigan's ultimate secret and true demise," She chimed with a bell like voice.

"Lady Horrigan," I repeated.

"Lady Veronica," said the young gentleman. I looked at the young man then at the petite girl. "I'm not going in," I declared.

She raised her eyebrow as she studied me. "Why?" She asked curiously.

"It's not my place," I replied.

"Hmm," She mumbled as she walked past me out the door. I followed her into the long corridor till she stopped at the end of the hall in front of a large door. The door was labeled Green. I stared at it with curiosity. "Wonder what's inside," She joked as she twisted the latch. The door swung open to reveal and empty room.

"What is this?" I asked fearfully as I walked around the empty room.

"This room shall hold your ultimate secret and pretty soon your demise," She said cheerfully.

"My demise," I repeated as I turned to look at her. "Yes," she said with a creepy smile. Her hair started to sway wildly behind her as her skin turned its greyish tone, her eyes turned red as she stared at me. "your story is just beginning let's enjoy the outcome," She said through her teeth. The young gentleman placed his hand on her shoulder, "My lady this is unbecoming."

Her hair settled gently unto her back as she turned up to look at him then back at me, "quite unbecoming indeed, my deepest apologies. "She stuck out her hand towards me, "time to return to whence you came."

A black fog mist engulfed me before I can respond to her. I jumped and gasped for air and noticed I was lying in my bed staring up at the ceiling.

Naylie emerged from the floor. I lunged off the bed and tightly grabbed her shoulders. She jumped in surprise then stared at me.

"Naylie who is this red-haired girl with green doll like eyes," I demanded. She looked at me questioningly.

"I'll tell you, "declared a familiar voice. I turned around to see Veronica standing across the room. "but it won't be good," Veronica declared.

"Why not?" I asked.
