Chapter Fifteen

My eyes flew open, I wasn't in my room. I jerked upright as I instantly felt uneasy. It took my brain a few seconds to remember the incident from last night and at the thought of it, my countenance changed from confusion to annoyance.

I rolled to the edge of the bed and threw my legs over it as I got out of the huge bed. I had finished the omelets from last night and the rest of the fruits were in the refrigerator that I had seen in the kitchen. It had been completely empty and I don't think it has ever been used.

The room I picked was huge and looked to be at least three times the size of my bedroom at home. It was the first door I had opened in my search for a room and one look at it and I knew there was no need to search further besides I was too tired and the room had seemed perfect enough.

Now that I was fully awake I still thought it was a great room. There were no windows like the living room and I suspected it was the same in every room. Well, that wasn't surprising since we were supposedly underground. 

The bedsheets that had been used on the bed— my bed —was a deep red with black huge roses spread all over it. It reminded me of my ceiling of roses, maybe that was why I had picked it. There was a television facing my bed and not surprising it was as large as everything else in the room.

The walls of my room were painted much like the living room, I wasn't complaining but I did not exactly appreciate that amount of white. Well, it wasn't something that couldn't be fixed. I had used the bathroom and like the bedroom, I was impressed.

The wardrobe was on the far end of the room, I haven't checked it yet but I knew it would be huge and I was excited but the only clothes I had brought were the ones I had worn here. I sighed heavily and got out of the bathroom I had changed into after the last shower as I prepared to take another.

I put it back on when I was done and made my way back to the bed. I wondered what the time was and I was worried about my parents and Mia. She should be back from camp in about two days, I was certain she would have tried to reach out to me during the night.

I pulled my phone from my backpack which I had placed at the foot of my bed. It took me a while to find my phone and there was a joy like no other when I finally found it. I put it on, I didn't remember putting it off. 

It took me everything to stay still while it came on. I had been so exhausted and hungry that I had forgotten about its existence. After an excruciating amount of time, it did come on and the time said, "Five O'clock! What the hell?" I couldn't begin to imagine how I could have slept for over eleven hours.

I liked to sleep yes but nine hours on a stretch was the highest I ever slept for, before I could process the amount of time I had spent my phone began to make the ping sound that signified a message but in this case messages.

I started with the very first one, it was just a reply to my earlier message. The second was to tell me all the activities she had been engaged in, including her conversation with Eric. He was the new kid in school. I could tell she was terribly excited after all she had a crush on him from the first time she saw him.

The third and fourth was her complaining about me not replying, the fifth was to tell me good night. As I made to reply to her texts I couldn't help but realize I didn't get any text from my parents. I wanted to text them but decided against it, I wasn't happy with them and I didn't want to be the one to break first.

I replied to Mia's texts as best as I could without alerting her. I didn't want her to worry. I lied that I had misplaced my phone the day before and didn't find it until today. I teased her about getting a boyfriend before me and ended it with a message that she should text me as soon as she could.

I pressed the send button and my stomach growled. I stood up, I would probably have to eat the rest of the fruits before I called the number EVP said I should. I walked out of my room to the kitchen and I flung open the refrigerator.

I nearly sobbed at what I saw, the empty refrigerator was filled from top to bottom. There was cake, a full chicken, fruits, chocolate, different fruit juices, jugs of milk, to name a few. I made a mental note to kiss Berg when next I see him, I was a hundred percent certain this was his doing.

I took a slice of cake—I know I said a slice but it was more like three slices—and a glass of juice. This wasn't close to getting me filled but it was a start. I dung into the slice and took a bite.

"Mmmm!" The cake melted on my tongue, it was a mixture of three flavors and they blended well.

"I've been looking all over for you."

"Ahhh!" I yelped almost choking on my cake. I turned to find Callidora right next to me. "What the hell, you scared me!"

"I thought you heard me come in." She replied with hands akimbo. I was certain my mouth fell open, EVP was dressed in all pink and she was wearing pajamas. "What is it?" She asked at my expression.

I closed my mouth, "Nothing. Why were you looking for me?"

"Yeah, get dressed. We are going shopping in about um thirty minutes since you…" She paused as she waved her hand towards my meal. "Seem a little busy."

"Alright," I said and returned to my meal.

"Um okay, I'll see you in thirty minutes."

"Yeah," I replied without looking at her." This time I heard her leave.
