Chapter 7: Welcome to The Castle !!!

Silver's POV

I woke up when I felt my back ached in pain. I turned around to see where I was and it was a baby room. There was a crib and a lot of other stuff for the baby scattered everywhere. And it was also misty.

I stood and took a proper look around. It sure was a bit messy like someone played in there with all the toys scattered like this. I took a step and heard a crack. I looked down and it looked like I stepped on a picture. I picked it up and saw a family. A man, a pregnant woman, and a little girl and behind them is home. there was a table in front of me with another picture on it. I walked up close and place the picture there and picked the other one. It was a picture of a baby boy laughing while hugging the stuffed dog. I put it down and looked around. There was nothing else to see so I decided to go outside. When I went out it was also foggy but something wasn't right. It was messy and there are things on the floor. There was another door across the room and another on my right and the left were stairs. I went to the first door and opened it but when I opened it, there was a fire. I was about to close the door when I saw something on the bed. It was the stuffed dog I saw in the picture in the baby room but it was stained with some red paint. The fire was getting bigger and closer so I closed the door. I must be dreaming. I just my head and looked at the door beside the baby room. I turned the knob but it was locked. I got confused so I just leave it.

I went downstairs and like the hallway upstairs, it was messy as well but what bothered me was there was red on the floor. I was hoping it something else but the closer I look it was blood. I looked around and went to the kitchen but was messy as well but it had less blood than in the living room. There was a door leading to the back yard so I decided to go there. When I got out, it was surprisingly bright and clean. It was peaceful. There's a small playground for kids and a bunch of flowers at the side. There's an apricot tree in the middle and there was something written in it.

'Let's see the world together

I flinched when I heard the swing squeaked. I looked at the swing and saw someone in there swinging. I walked close and was shocked to see the stuffed dog there while a little girl was hugging it. I can't see her eyes because it was covered by her bangs. She motioned her head looking at me and smiled.

"Let's see the world together, Silver." She said then everything was shaking.

I guess I'm waking up. I watched as the floor cracked open and I let myself fall in.

I woke up again in an unfamiliar room. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what had happened before I pass out. Oh, that's right. We were in the car and someone was talking on the radio then there was smoke and I fell asleep. I sat up and looked around hoping to see Yuan but he wasn't there. It was a small room and there were only the bed and a small dresser beside the bed with food and a note on top. I picked up the note read it.

'Finish your food and go outside. Someone at the door is already waiting for you.'

I placed the note back and decided to go out instead. Who knows what they could've placed in the food. I opened the door and got startled when I saw someone outside. He was wearing casual clothes and had his arms crossed. He looked at me with a fierce look and walked closer to me. I moved back a bit just enough for me to close the door in case he plans onto something.

"Are you Silver Hans Quier?" He asked. I just nodded. "Good, follow me." He said and just started walking away. I followed him some distance between us.

We were walking down the hallway when I heard a familiar bark. I stopped and listened to it carefully if I were right. It barked again I knew who it was Tyrone. The guy earlier didn't notice me when I stopped so caught up a bit still making a distance.

"Uhmm, excuse me." He stopped still not facing me. "That dog that barked just now. Can you take me there?" I asked. He turned around and took a step back. HE noticed and just rolled his eyes.

"It's good that you're making a distance but about your request, I can't do that. Because I don't want to and I am not told to. You can see your dog later. If you follow me, you'll see your dog sooner than you know." He said and just continued walking. I just followed. I can't fight with him because I don't really know him and I can't find Yuan. We reached the stairs and went down.

He led me to a living room where there were 11 people. There were 3 girls on the huge couch and a woman on the single couch drinking tea. She looked like she was around in her mid 30's. There's one in the very corner who seemed to be drawing something in his sketchbook. One in the window listening to music and looks like he's sleeping. One was playing video games on a Nintendo switch on the other huge couch and the guy who was with me earlier. And there were a maid butler and a guard or something.

"I brought him here. Now, where is it?" The guy asked the woman who was drinking tea.

"Oh, Todd you're here. It's over there at the table near Shawn. Where is he?" The woman asked. He, who is supposed to be Todd, pointed at me and walked near the guy who was drawing and picked up something on the table beside him.

The woman turned to look at me and smiled.

"Silver Hans Quier. It's nice to finally meet you." She stood up and walked closer to hug me. I didn't move and just let things happen. She let's go of me and looked at me in the face. She must've noticed I was confused so she steps back a little and chuckled.

"Dear me, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Mrs. Amalia Michelle Ramirez, but you can call me Mrs. Milia or mama." She introduced herself. I just nodded and didn't respond. I'm not sure if I should I mean she already mentioned my whole name earlier so I don't know what to do.

"Oh don't be shy. Come, come, have a seat and I'll introduce everyone to you." She suddenly said then pulled me to the center.

"Akio, sit properly." She ordered the one playing. He just looked at us and smiled. and sat properly. Mrs. Milia let me sit and started introducing everyone.

"So let's begin. This is Akio Sato. You'll get to know him later on." She pointed to the guy who was playing. He just raised his hand and continued playing.

"Next is the person who was with you earlier, his name is Todd Mallory Walker. He's going to be your roommate later so you get to know him more later on. Then we have those three girls over there are Haiden, Lynette, and Clair. And like I said, You'll get to know them more later. For now, let's just know their names okay?" She introduced the girls. They all just waved seductively and winked at me. I just coughed and looked away.

"The person over there in the corner near Todd is Shawn Ryo Diehl. He's not much of a talker so you can ask me later on more about him. And lastly, Dick Lucius Cox. The one in the window sleeping." Just as she finished, we heard a loud thud and shouting outside so we all turn to the door when it was getting louder. I know that voice. Don't tell me...

"Let me go! I warn you! Where's my family?! Let them go you, bastards! I'll kill you once I get out of here!" Yup, I knew it. That aggressive behavior belongs to no one else but my dear brother Yuan. The shouting got louder and louder and they appeared at the door I came in earlier.

"Yuan!" I called on to him. He stopped shouting and squirming when he heard me.

"Silver! You're okay. Now let me go!"He said to those who held him. He was tied tightly and two guys are holding on to him on both sides. There were 3 more behind them and one of them was a girl and they looked exhausted.

"Oh just in time. I just finished introducing everyone to Silver." Mrs. Milia said. Then she looked at Yuan who looked at her angrily.

"Don't worry Yuan. Your brother is fine, see? If you play nice we'll let you go." She said with a smile. Yuan just kept on staring at her and then sighed.

"Fine. Let me go. I won't do anything I promise.' He said in defeat. Mrs. Milia smiled and looked at the people holding Yuan. They untied him and distanced themselves away. Yuan rubbed his wrist then he ran to hug me. Someone coughed from behind him and we all looked at him.

"I hate to ruin your family reunion but I haven't introduced myself properly. I am Dr. Troy Magnus Ramirez. And you met my wife Amilia. And I would like to welcome you both to your new home." The man who looked like someone the same age as Mrs. Milia said. He snapped his fingers and then a banner and some party popper appeared. The banner said welcome.

"Welcome, to The Castle." Dr. Troy said and we looked at him.
