That night I held my knees laying in bed thinking about the words the the man said. I can't believe people think that way I mean we are all human or at least the others are why he keeps the lady as a servant his property as he says is beyond me I think annoyed about everything.
My eyes slowly close from the exhaustion the overload of information and overlapping thoughts making me drift slowly but surely.
In the middle of the night I felt a tap on my arm from the side of my bed I opened my eyes and almost screamed when I saw The masked lady by the side of my bed.
"Eh hello." I said in a confused yet low tone trying not to wake up the others next door.
The lady didn't say anything she just held an old fashioned lantern in her hand and used her other to beacon me to follow her.
Half expecting this to all be a dream, I curiously sat up and got out of bed to follow her. Seeing that me and the lady were the only ones awake i was wearing a borrowed night gown from the lady and slippers that felt so soft on my feet. The lady then starts to walk away stoping at the door too unlock it, turning back at me.
I sigh and go through the door trying not to wake the children in the doors next to mine The lady locks the door behind her then walks down the hall to the next door at the end of the hall in a quiet yet fast manner the hall felt even scarier at night all the faces and eyes watching.
The lady walks through the next door again telling me to follow with her hand. I followed and we went to the dinner hall, she then locked the door behind and walked to another room fast making sure she didn't make any sounds as she did. I followed almost struggling to keep up.
After I followed her through a few rooms we came to a door that was different from the others it looked old and dusty she then stops for a second and takes the key from around her neck and opens the door. It seemed to be a skeleton key for the house.
As the lady opens the old door a thick cloud of dust formed around us like the room hadn't been touched in years. The lady then walks inside slowly walking to a desk with a small draw. I walk to the lady after closing the door for her.
"What is it that you wanted to show me?" I asked in a small voice.
The lady unlocked the draw and takes out a box covered in dust it looked to be made of wood and was covered in flowery engravings on its design.
The lady then turns to me and hands me the box to open. I looked at her masked face and saw her eyes. Through the small holes cut into the mask. After looking back up at her for reassurance the lady nods. I then look down at the box and slowly open it to look inside...
