The breeze in early summer has become warmer, yet there is still a soft
chill that passes by you. It was a nostalgic sensation, where your happy days
in summer will start to begin. But not in this case, Alex, the young boy who
sits in the back seat was in an unhappy mood with how things ended with his
family. His parents divorcing, his older brother getting ready for college,
everything just seemed to be falling apart, at least in his eyes it was all a
disaster. Alex looked out the window, staring at the strange trees, at the
strange homes and at the strange new sky; this new place was all strange to
this young lad. Yet he couldn't do anything to change the situation, all he
could do was wear a fake smile, and say 'It's alright, I'm fine.' For being a
young teen, he sure felt incapable to do anything, to start anything or to fix
anything.
The time was getting closer as his father drove into a large driveway, he
looked to the side to try to get a better look at this place, and he was a bit...
No very surprised at this new home he was about to live in. This place was
close to a mansion, it's strange to be even living in such a place. But if he
remembered correctly, a few days ago his father mentioned something about
a heritage. "Hey dad, is this the house..." "Oh yes it is, this is the mansion that
my father inherited before me but never decided to come here, so the next
person to inherit this place is me. Pretty cool huh, and it seems to be paid
for as well, so you both don't have to worry about anything." "Ugh, doesn't
this also mean we have to fix the damages and clean up this place?" "Hahaha!
Not necessarily I can always hire some maids." Alex got closer to the front to
look at his father. " Maids still exist in this time and era?" "Ohh, they really do
and they're half naked too!" "... Aren't you talking about that porn site...?"
Their father hits Oliver right on the head. "Don't teach your brother improper
things." "Ohhhh come on! He’s 14, don't you think it's kind of odd that he
doesn't really show any interest in women?" Alex sat back to unbuckle his
seatbelt. "Idiot, just because I'm not a horny bastard like you doesn't mean I
have no interest in women." By this time his father had stopped the car into
parking mode, Alex took this chance to just walk right out of the car.
Meanwhile Oliver just shook his head, "That kid, he's such a late-bloomer."
His father grunted, "Oliver, you're already an adult, you should act like it."
Oliver rolled his eyes to stare at the window. "Hm, just because I start college
tomorrow doesn't mean I'm fully an adult." He took off his own seatbelt and
came out of the car, following his little brother. As he neared Alex he saw him
looking intently at the wooden door, almost like he was taking pictures with
his eyes. "Why are you staring at the door? Scared to go in?" Alex looked back
at him with a frown looking face then looked away. "No." He reached for the
door and tried to open it, yet it looked like he was struggling to open the
large door, Oliver stood there trying so hard not to laugh at his late bloomer
sibling. But he walked over and tried to help him out, yet even he couldn't
open the door. So they both stopped and stared at each other, "Alex..." "Yea..."
"This door won't open..." "No really...?"
Their father approached towards the door, and he took out a large key
and opened the door; the two boys felt very stupid afterwards that they even
looked away from each other not saying a word. As soon as they all entered
the three males looked around mesmerized by how clean and new it looked
from the inside. "Dad... did you already...?" "No I haven't called anyone or did
anything." They all stood there surprised, inside there was a large chandelier
on the ceiling, and many fancy candles on both sides of the walls, there was
also a large twirling staircase that lead to the upper rooms, the floor are all
made of real mahogany wood and the walls are made of bricks. "Why... Does
the outside of this mansion look like it's been almost tarnished, yet the inside
looks brand new." Alex walked slowly backwards to see the mansion one
more time, yet it changed! It looked brand new, his face became pale and he
looked at Oliver. "I-I-It loo-looks..." Oliver did not like how his brother was
acting; stuttering and scared so he himself walked out to see for himself,
surely enough it was as his brother was trying to say. Even Oliver started
stuttering and pointing at the mansion, so their father got closer to them to
see what was the whole commotion about, as he got closer to the mansion
his normal reaction at first the the mansion just suddenly changed, his face
became more and more paler my the second. Then suddenly his voice started
to crackle while his hand raises up to point at the mansion, “A-A-A..” his
eyesight started to fade slowly until finally the poor man fainted.
