"Let me get that." He said. He got up from the bed and went to the door. I saw him talk to someone and then turned to me.

"I will be back. I just have to handle some things and I will direct this Cane guy to this room okay." I simply nodded and he left making sure he had closed the door behind him. I continued scanning the room. The sculptures of this room were unique unlike the rest of the house. I noticed that there were some more engravings on the wall. There were also writings on the wall. I tried to get up from the bed to get a closer look but my body felt weak. I slumped back in the bed and made myself comfortable. I did not know that silk sheets were this comfortable. There was a side table that only had a lamp to the side of the lamp there was an old notebook. I picked up the leather notebook the surface was rough and it had a red lace tied in a bow at the corner. I opened the book and it was empty. There was no name or anything in the book the texture of the book's pages was different from what I was used to. I returned the book to the side table and covered myself with the duvet. I started to drift off to sleep I did not realize I needed.

"Hey, could you please whisper she could hear us!" Said a familiar voice. I heard movement from the other side of the room like a chair was being pulled. I tried opening my eyes to see who they were but I was too tired and my body was not even responding.

"She can't, she is out cold." Said another voice. Are they talking about me? I hope not.

"How do you know that?" A third voice intervened, "This is a very important conversation that we are having and you know he said he will reveal the truth to her on that woman's supposedly death anniversary." He continued. Are they talking about my mother and why were they calling her that woman? What are they talking about? I started panicking. I calmed myself down to hear their conversation.

"I put something in her drink it normally takes an hour to kick in." My heart started beating fast what are they going to do to me. Then the realization hit me all the voices I heard were familiar.

"What should we do then? Did you feel anything?" That sounded like Cane. It was Cane what was he talking about?

"No, I mean she passed out in the kitchen our skin touched but I did not feel it." He sounded frustrated. Are they still talking about me?

"How can we know then? Are we supposed to sleep with her for us to know?" asked Andrew.

"Maybe, should we do it?" said Cane. My heart started beating fast. What did they plan to do to me? Is this even real? Tears started forming in my eyes. I could not believe what I was hearing. My own best friend was betraying me worst of it all they planned to violate me.

"Zander, this is the only chance we have to know if what he said was true," said Cane. My hands started to shake. I have to find a way out of here fast I do not want to become a victim. I tried to move my body but it was still heavy.

"Okay, then but we do this fast." My eyes widened how could they think of such a thing. One of them touched my ankle and pulled me to the edge of the bed. I lay still paralyzed with fear. Just then a knock was heard. One of them went to the door.

"Guys we have an issue that we have to deal with first. She can wait." One of them sighed and I heard movement then nothing. I opened my eyes to see that I was left alone. I tried once again to get up but my body won't let me. I cried out in frustration. I tried one more time and succeeded in getting out of the bed and onto the floor. I dragged myself towards the door. I had to get out of here. I tried to stand up the first attempt was not successful I fell back on the cold hard marble floor. I used the chair in front of me as support and stood up. I walked slowly to the door took hold of the doorknob and twisted it. I peaked my head out to see if there was anyone surprisingly it was empty. I walked down the hallway using the wall as my support. At the end of the hallway was a flight of stairs. I started to walk down one step at a time making sure I made no noise. At the end of the stairs, there was a hallway and at the end were two large doors that I hoped they led outside. I finally go out of the mansion but no one was in sight, not even a car. I moved forward and I saw a garden and at the center of it was a large pavilion. It was the most beautiful pavilion I had ever seen. I walked to the pavilion and was mesmerized by its beauty. I wanted to stay there for a while but I remembered the situation I was in. After scanning the area I finally saw the large gate that was past the garden. I moved my feet in that direction with an urgent pace that finally led to running. I turned my head back to see the place I will never come back to only to hit a hard surface in front of me that sent me tumbling down.

"Who are you?" Said a voice.
