part 1b
The wind picked up near the ocean, making Lucien's walk from the bench to the nearby community college campus feel much longer than it all ready was. He passed several large buildings that were dedicating to housing students which were marked with signs labeling them as "dorms", glad to know that Rachel never had to stay in one of them. The area looked more than a little run down. Sure, he had to deal with her father and her brother, but he knew that men and women lived seperate in these dorms just by reading the signs. Lucien felt insecure about this whole new world he was thrust into, about the technol

The longer Lucien sat there on the beach and watched the waves of the Pacific Ocean ebb and flow, he let his mind go over his incredible journey to how he got there. First, a metal machine called a "car" carried him to a place called an "airport", which was full of flying machines "airplanes" that were much bigger than cars and had wings that did not flap. The airplane carried him over the sea, which gave him the chance to see the ocean in a way he never thought possible - from above. And the view of the clouds was nothing more than spectacular. He remembered how long a trip it was, how Rachel tried to c

Rachel should have felt excited about what was in her box, but she was pretty sure the ancient castle didn't have any way for her to use what was in it. She walked over to the table and looked back inside the box, trying not to feel incredibly depressed about it.
"I should be thankful that Aria even bothered leaving a letter to the castle like that, but there's a part of me that wishes it only gave her what she wanted," she said, knowing full well there was no one around to hear her voice her thoughts. She didn't want to seem ungrateful for it. She reached inside the box to pull out what was inside - he

Alyssa held her box in her arms, more than excited for what could be inside. She almost kicked down the door to Room Four she wanted to get in there so quickly. The suspense was killing her. What could it have been? Oh, she was just so impatient!
She sat down on her bed and opened the box gently, then peered down inside. "Ha," she breathed out, "I was right. It is my blanket." She pulled it out. It was the softest thing she'd ever owned. Alyssa had that blanket since she was a kid, and in a way, it was a symbol of her innocence that had been torn away from her during her teenage years. "It's great to se

The air in the garden was warm, and more than enough to keep Arianna happy. She hated the rainy weather from the night before. It rained too much back home. She wanted to sit outside and soak it in. She was clipping off herbs from one of the bushes. She remembered exactly how Florence explained what each and every little flower, stem, seed, and leaf were for. Alyssa was sick, and even if there were times they didn't get along, Arianna was going to do her best to keep her healthy. It wouldn't do for anyone to be sick, no matter who they were or why. She believed she had everyone's interests at heart.

Florence always listened to his older brother. Lucien had a higher rank than he in the castle's heiarchy. He had more authority. Florence respected Lucien more than most people he'd come across in his life. He looked up to Lucien. He respected Lucien. It was because of his utmost respect he held in his heart and mind that he did was Lucien instructed to do. He didn't like what the new girl said about him, no one did. But Lucien said to watch after her. He didn't want to do it, and no one wanted to do it, either. Florence hated his sense of duty above all. He hated having to leave Arianna to her own devic

Rachel sat down right next to Lucien again after using brute force on the new girl, and she didn't even bother apologizing. No one said anything about it, because they would have done the same thing. If they had any guts, anyway. She went back to eating.
"Rachel is right," Arianna said, starting to pull her over to the table. "Eat whatever you'd like. There's always plenty to go around." She put the girl in a chair, placed a plate in front of her, and added, "You'd better eat something. You need every bit of strength you can muster."

Each of the four waiters went his own way after that spectacular event. Lucien even said he knew it was heartless of him, but he didn't want to care for the new guest; and he told his coworkers this with honesty beforehand so no one expected something of him that he would not do. Severin had his hands more than full keeping Alyssa out of trouble, so it seemed that he didn't want the work, either. Karoly didn't put up a protest to helping her, and Florence's sense of duty got the better of him. It was down to the two youngest of the waiters to tend to the new guest's needs without forsaking the needs and

Karoly's senses were heightened upon hearing that blood-curdling scream. He couldn't quite tell if it was Rachel who made it, but it was certainly a female's cry. He didn't even bother trying to see if Linda was affected or not. He darted off out the door and down the hall. Coming to the main passage that led to the audience hall, he found himself in nothing but shadow. The sun didn't touch a single part of this path.
"Achille," Karoly said angrily. "I know you're here. Show yourself!"

Rachel stood outside the rooms in the Eastern Hallway for what could have been two hours after breakfast before anyone else showed up. She needed some answer in regard to Alyssa. It was the first time she actually missed breakfast entirely since arriving in the castle. She was typically later than everyone else, but the fact that it went on longer than usual and she still didn't show? Rachel's sisterly intution kicked in. She wanted to knock on the door, but her body still remembered what happened when she tried that the last time. Besides, she had no idea that Severin and Alyssa's main way of getting a

One of the dock workers - a Scrafty was on its break and was standing with his back against a warehouse right next to the entrance, munching on a potato chip. Unbeknownst to him, it was the very same warehouse that the Trubbish and their abnormal Garbodor leader were hiding out in. Scrafty loudly rumbled the bag as he took out another potato chip to greedily consume
