It isn't too long until Conner had taken Alexis to an old house. It was gray and it had a sort of spooky feeling to it. Around the windows on the right side of the house, there were dark red roses. Connor opened the door and signaled for Alexis to follow inside. The inside actually looked normal enough. The inside looked larger than the outside. In the center of the house was stairs that lead up to a long hallway that was lit with a few small lamps. A tall man with dark blue hair descended the stairs and started heading towards Alexis and Connor.
"Is this her?" He asked, his voice sounded a little rasp like how it would if you hadn't drunk anything.
"Yeah. Lucky I found her otherwise she probably wouldn't have made it here until dark." Connor replied with a smile. He then turned to you. "This is Daku, the one that Oramis wants you to collect the items from."
You only nodded and looked back at the man. His dark purple eyes stared right back at yours. He looked you up and down, almost searching for something and soon clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Come with me." He demanded.
You walked up the stairs and followed him down the hall, passing by many rooms along the way. The hall ended with a room without a door. Daku walked into the room and sat down on a couch that was in there, surrounded by many books. As Alexis looked around the room she noticed that it looked like a mini library. As she looked around, Daku was studying her.
"Sit down." He told her. She obeyed and sat beside him. "Do you know about your parents?" He asked.
Alexis looked down, trying to decide on what she should say but sighed and looked back up at him with a lost expression. "I was raised with around people who I thought were my parents only to find that they are not. I know nothing of my real parents and if you have any information that you can tell me about them, I would very much appreciate it."
A grin spread across his face. "Now why would I tell you if Oramis hasn't even told you? You shouldn't stick your nose in where it doesn't belong. It would be better for you do not know. I was just curious as to how much you really knew about them but it seems as though your useless..."
"You just met me and you're already talking to me like that!?" Alexis hissed back at him. He looked at her with a bored expression now.
"I don't understand why Oramis would take up such a useless person. There is no purpose for you if you don't know anything."
Before Alexis could say anything back to defend herself, Connor walked into the room with a book that had a red cover but didn't have a title nor any drawings to signify what the book was about. It just had a soft cover that was blood red. In his other hand, he had a small bag that looked to be the same size as a piano key. He stopped once he was in front of Alexis and handed her the book while he gave the bag to Daku.
Daku opened the bag and slipped a ring with a blue crystal out and slid it on Alexis's ring finger.
"Where this at all times. Do not lose it or you will be punished. You're going to have to spend tonight here but you will leave in the morning. Don't thank me, I am doing this as an order from Oramis. If it was up to me then I would kick you out now and make you walk back and face the possibility of getting killed."
She flinched at his harsh words and frowned. "Why are you being such a jerk?"
He looked up at her and a small smile formed. "It is because you look so much like your mother it makes me sick. I hated her and you just remind me of her. Your room is down the hall, the same way we came. It is the first door on the left, closest to the stairs. Once you wake up, please leave." After saying that he stood up and left the room. Connor gave her a sheepish smile and led her to her room. After they said goodnight she set the book down on a side table next to the bed and collapsed, letting sleep succumb her.
