Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 45

❝Lurking in the shadows❞

.•*•.

Evening came quicker than I had thought it would and I realize that my mind has been thinking about this whole thing for hours and a headache had pried itself into my brain and made me feel like there is someone inside my skull with a hammer, banging on my brain. I head out of the guest floor, really enjoying the fact that it isn't locked anymore. Trying to figure out where Sebastian's office is, as I don't remember where it is and I'm just walking down the hallways. This time, for the first time I'm actually looking at the beauty of them.

The walls are painted with dark shade of blue and there may not be much hanging on them (or rather nothing) and there aren't any decorative things around but over all, it does look beautiful, even when a bit empty. Perhaps these hallways tell a story, Sebastian's story. When looking over them, one would only see an empty hallway and not think much about it, perhaps that it still needs to be decorated and they would maybe feel fear inside them from being alone and are always on guard for something might pop up out of no where, but I don't see it that way.

They may be empty but somehow that speaks to me louder than anything. It tells me that nothing is missing for it is supposed to be like this. As I said, it tells a story and this one might not be a happy one. It seems like he's lost for a reason that I fear that I may never understand or even know for I barely even know him at all. The very thought of that forms a pang inside my heart that only brings me down.

The headache that I have had for the past couple of hours only increases as I walk. Everything looks the same and I am surprised that they are able to get around this mansion, I am sure that I will need a map sooner or later. Heavily sighing I look outside a window to see that I am looking out to the entrance and the flashes of the wedding run through my mind's eye and tears form in my eyes. I can remember how horrible and miserable I felt in the car and how he left me standing in my wedding dress outside.

Perhaps Colt is right, maybe I am miserable and have been since I came to this place. I think I've spent more time crying than I have laughing or smiling for that matter. "Why do you cry?" A voice startles me from behind and I roll my eyes when I already know who it is. It is the same man who has done it now, what... three times already? I turn around to face him but not before I wipe my eyes to get rid of the water in them that had not fallen down my cheeks.

"Forgive me, I did not mean to scare you" He then says and I mentally roll my eyes. Sure you did. I get the feeling that he truly wants to startle me. I'm sure he just waits in the hallways, no not wait... lurks. He lurks in the hallways and in the shadows and waits for the perfect opportunity to come up behind me. "It's all right" I quietly say to him but even when my voice was barely above a whisper, he did hear me. "I assume you wish to find Mr. King's office, correct?" He asks me and I slowly nod my head. 36

"Follow me, I shall take you to him" He says and before another word is spoken he starts walking and to make sure that I don't get lost or left behind I stay a bit close to him, yet still a bit far behind. Neither one of us speaks and after the last time we spoke and how he told me that Sebastian cares about me (which I don't think is the truth) I don't think talking is the right thing that should happen. Not before long I stand in front of a familiar door.

My heart pounds within my chest and all I can think about is how I need to talk to Sebastian, I'm not even sure what I'm going to say to him, all I know is that I need to talk to him or maybe I just need to see him. The man whose name I still don't know has not surprisingly gone away without me even knowing but I did expect that to happen. I stand there, unsure of what I'm supposed to do, do I just knock or waltz inside? I have no idea but I look ridiculous standing there so I decide and I open the door.

Like he was before when I came in here, he is siting by his desk but this time he's working on a computer. "Is there anything that you need? If not then the door is where you came from" He says and for some reason that does offend me, a lot. Taking a deep breath and letting it out, not letting the anger get the best of me now. "I want to invite you to dinner with me" I say. I had to think quick on what I was supposed to say and I panicked.

However, there is a part inside me that wants to have dinner with him. He stops everything that he was doing and looks at me with a raised eyebrow and his beautiful emerald green eyes stare deep into my eyes. "I must admit, I did not expect you to say that, however I will not deny you this and thus I agree to have dinner with you" He says and stands up and walks over to me. And I feel like I'm about to faint at any second but something is telling me that tonight will be an interesting one. Looking at him smirking down at me, only makes me believe that further.
