After I left
Alex’s office that day I decided to wander the castle. I stopped keeping track
of how long I was in the castle; so honestly, I was beginning to lose it. When I
was alive, I was a wanderer; a castle was definitely the best place to get some
wandering done.
I had been everywhere in the castle
except the different room levels. I always stayed on my level, and went to
places everyone could go to. I never once dared to go to a level that I did not
live on. However, I wanted to change that. I started on level eleven; Leah’s
level.
Part of me was really hoping that I would
run into her, so I could finally tell her everything. However, another part of
me was really hoping we would not cross paths again. What if she has something
planned for me already? What is she trying to do? What if other people are
going to help her?
I started walking down the hallway on
level eleven. It looked just like all of the other hallways; never ending. The
walls were tall, gray, and made out of stone. Every few feet there were big,
wide, wooden doors to enter the bedrooms. Each bedroom door had a sign with the
last names of the people who lived inside the rooms. However, some people preferred
their first names to be up there instead.
Everything was looking pretty normal
in the hallway. Everything looked the same; well, except for the people.
However, I did recognize a few faces from my previous levels. As I was walking
down the hall, I would look at a few of the signs. One of the signs I recognized
the names as one of my previous roommates. I was about to knock on the door
until I heard her voice just a few doors down.
“Wait, don’t go yet,” said Leah.
I turned quickly to make sure she was
not talking to me. She wasn’t. There was this big, muscly guy, standing outside
of her door with her. She was flirting with him, and he didn’t seem to mind. What
was she doing? Leah never flirted with boy; especially boys who looked like
him. The guy was seriously cute, but he was not Leah’s type.
Leah could not see me, because all of
her attention was focused on him. She asked him to come inside her room. “What
are we going to do in there,” the guy asked.
“Oh, I could think of a few things for
us to do in here,” she said to him.
Then, Leah took the guy by his arm and
pulled him into her room. She’s trying to get people on her side. She’s trying
to get people against me. Leah is trying to get rid of me just like I got rid
of her…
