As the sun dipped below the horizon, splashing the sky with streaks of orange and pink. The soft breeze caressed their faces, carrying the sweet scent of wildflowers that lined the roadside.
Lucia leisurely leaned back in her seat, a small smile playing on her lips as she glanced at Rose, who was focused on the road ahead. Rose's vibrant red hair danced in the wind, reflecting the last rays of sunlight like flickering flames.
Lucia reached out to the car's radio and turned the knob. Soft, soothing music flowed through the car's speakers, filling the space.
Lucia's golden locks danced in the wind. "This feels nice, sitting here with a little bit of wind in my hair. I wish I could do this every day."
Rose turned to her, her soft green eyes reflecting the fading sunlight. She smiled warmly. "I get what you mean," her voice gentle like a soothing melody. "Sometimes, the weight of the world feels heavy, and all we need is a moment of peace."
The narrow road they entered was surrounded by dark and menacing trees.
Lucia peered out the window. She gasped as she recognized the place from her dream. It was exactly the same, down to the smallest detail. How could this be possible? A chill ran through her body, making her hair stand on end.
She turned to Rose, who was driving the car, and asked nervously, "Rose, are you sure we're going the right way?"
Rose swallowed hard, hoping that the GPS wasn't leading them astray. She tried to sound confident and said, "Yes, of course. I entered the address correctly, it can't be wrong, right?"
Lucia could only pray silently that Rose knew what she was doing.
As they drove along the winding road, the soft purr of the engine created a soothing backdrop, the GPS chimed with a friendly notification. "Arriving at destination," the mechanical voice announced.
As the car rolled to a gentle stop, they found themselves facing a sight that stole their breath away. Before them stood a majestic iron gate, a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The gate was a work of art, covered in intricate gold and silver ornaments.
The gate was flanked by two stone pillars, each topped with a fierce lion statue. The lions had ruby eyes that seemed to stare at them. Behind the gate, they could see a glimpse of a magnificent mansion, surrounded by lush gardens and fountains.
Holy shit," Rose said, and Lucia widened her mouth in awe. Before long, they heard a knock on the window. Both ladies gasped in shock. They saw four men in black suits, holding guns and walkie-talkies. They wore black masks that covered their mouths and noses, leaving only their eyes visible. They looked like they meant business.
They indicated for Rose to roll down her window. She felt a cold sweat on her forehead as she rolled down the window slightly. She hoped they wouldn't notice her trembling hands on the steering wheel.
He stared at her with piercing brown eyes that seemed to read her mind. His voice was stern and authoritative as he said, "State your business here." Rose said nervously, "We were invited for a party."
He asked, "State your name" With a slight tremor, she said, "My name is Rose Marie."
He nodded curtly and pressed a button on his earpiece. A metallic voice confirmed his order. He stepped aside and gestured for them to drive in. "You can drive in," he said in a low tone.
Hearing this, Lucia and Rose felt a surge of relief as they passed through the gate. The road was lined with bright streetlights that illuminated the way. They could see the mansion looming ahead, a majestic structure of white marble and glass.
Rose let out a shaky breath and relaxed her grip on the steering wheel. She tried to calm her racing heart and steady her voice. "I thought that was the end for us," she said with a weak smile.
Lucia chuckled nervously and shook her head. "It's expected. I mean, for what it's worth, this is pretty grand. I don't think I will ever forget that. They looked like assassins, don't you think?" she said, trying to lighten the mood. The girls laughed it off, but they still felt a bit of fear.
Lucia said, "It's expected. I mean, for what it's worth, this is pretty grand. I don't think I will ever forget that. They looked like assassins, don't you think?" The girls laughed it off.
Rose's attention was piqued as something caught her eye's. Rose said, "Now would you look at that." "What?" Lucia said as she followed Rose's gaze.
Lucia followed her gaze. "What is that?"
They spotted a gleaming statue of an angel with wings and a bow and arrow in his hands. It was perched on a pedestal on the side of the road, as if guarding the entrance to the mansion. It looked like it was aiming for them, ready to shoot them down if they dared to trespass.
"Now that is fascinating and weird," Rose said. "My gosh, rich people can actually do what they want and get away with anything."
