(
Unknown Place: The Mansion
The House
)
I woke up next morning, way too groggy to begin my preparation for the rest of the day. I didn't even wanted to wake up, it's just the two new additions were making too much of noise and fuss for me to actually be able to sleep.
The two of them woke up early and began barking before tugging at my sheets.
But even then I stayed in the bed for a while before getting up.
I walked towards the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a bath, but before that.
"You don't poop in the house!" I exclaimed as I walked towards the bathroom to wash my feet and grab a cloth and a plastic to clean the floor, at the least they didn't did it on the sheets or the mattress, that would be difficult to clean.
"All right!" I said as I picked up the dog poop after cleaning my floor, need to pour something for the smell, might as well empty one of the room freshners for that. "Another rule for the two of you, no pooping in the house, go outside or tell me!" I commanded as I picked up the puppies for cleaning, I took a spare brush from the cabinets to clean their teeth and bathing them, before drying and putting them outside, before I went on with my own buisness.
While bathing, I tried to prepare a schedule about what I've to do today, which mostly included trying to find out where exactly was I?
I pulled the soap for my body before using the shampoo on my hair for washing and then drying myself, after which I got out from the bathroom.
I looked outside the window to see a bird sitting on a tree branch. Not paying much attention to it, I put on the clothes that I wore yesterday, before preparing the breakfast for me and the two puppies.
I opened the fridge, not wanting to do anything fancy, I toasted few breads and poured the milk from the carton for the the puppies in the bowl and waiting for the toast. As I was thinking I looked down at the two puppies who were drinking the milk from the bowl.
"So our agenda for today is exploring that huge mansion and finding as much as I....we can about it and hopefully other people too." I looked up thinking about who could could find here before stopping and looking back down again. "I just remembered another thing, dogs the two of you have a name?" I asked and two looked up at me and tilted their heads.
"Seeing that reaction, I don't think you do." I muttered. "All right if you two don't have a name than I am going to give the two of you names that would suit you." The Golden puppy looked up before diving in for his drink. I took my toast from the toaster and pouring a glass of milk for myself and sat on a stool with my plate of toast.
"So about the name....*nom*" I began pondering a name for the two pups as both of them looked up to me from time to time. I tried to think of a name but nothing will come to me, before I took a bite with frustration before speaking. "To hell with it!" I said after taking a gulp from the milk and pointing at the two puppies.
"From today, you will be called Gold." I said pointing to the one with golden fur before my finger went to the one white fur. "And you will be named White." I said as the two looked up at me in confusion and I tried my best, in my way, to make the two of the little dogs understand.
"Remember!" I spoke calling for their attention. "Gold." I pointed towards the one with golden fur.
"White." I said with my finger and the white dog barked in affirmation.
"Gold." The gold furred one tilted his head.
"White." The white furred puppy began yapping as I said his name again.
"Gold." The Golden one finally understanding barked in affirmation.
"White." I pointed at White who after making a yapping sound one last time, went back to drinking his milk, followed by Gold who was more messy compared to White." I also took a gulp of milk before looking at the glass of milk.
"Its a good thing I found milk in the fridge." I spoke to myself. "I was so sure that we drank the milk last....night?" I suddenly remembered that I did emptied the last milk carton last night. I quickly put the glass back down before jumping at the trash can looking for the milk carton that I threw the previous night.
'Where is it?! I thought as I rummage through the trash bin and around it, trying to find the carton that I threw the previous night.
"There is no carton." I muttered while looking at the trash bin than back at the carton of milk. 'Pretty sure we finished it last night!' I thought as my mind tried to make sense of what is actually happening. 'Maybe someone is actually here and replaced it with the new one.' I thought before I picked the milk carton to check for the date. 'No its the same one that I brought from that store.' My mind was blank, I was unable to understand anything that was happening. 'Wait did this happened to me or did happen to this house?' I suddenly thought. 'And if it happened to the house....' my thoughts trailed off before I recollected myself and started to make preparations for the rest of the day.
(After Preparation in front of the Door)
"All right!" I exclaimed as I stood in front of the door with my trusty pan and bat in hand.
*Bark* *Bark*
Also the two puppies standing behind me, almost forgot about them.
"To the unknown!" I spoke as I opened the door and towards the mansion.
"Okay!" I muttered with my gaze focused on the door that was in front of me. "We will do as it was planned. First we will check your place." I looked down at the two puppies. "We will see if what happened here occured there too, after that we will see if there is someone actually living here in this place, understood!"
*Bark!* Both of them barked at the same time as we headed to the door that was on the other side.
"Ready?" I asked as both made a yip noise of confirmation. "All right, here we go!"
I opened the door with caution, and unlike the last time the two puppies didn't immediately fled in the thag was on the other side room, when I opened the door there was no resistance behind the door so I simple entered.
"Nothing seems to be different." I spoke looking at the mess that was there yesterday. Even the cereal that I threw on the ground was there, all of the mess was same.
Except for the milk bottle that I left outside after drinking from it. It was not in sight at all.
"Where is it?" I looked around but it was not there. "Except for the place I found it in." I muttered and opened the fridge, and there it was sitting there, as if it was never opened in the first place. I took a breath before closing the door of the fridge.
"All right, this is getting freaky." I muttered before looking around the place and coming to a stop at the door that connected this house to the outside world. "Its similar to mine." I said looking in the left to see the mansion and the gate at the distance. I looked below to what seem like a dog door for pets. "So this is how you were so dirty the first time I saw you?" I looked at Gold and white who were looking at the scenery outside.
"We'll play later." I told the two before closing the door and then looking around the rest of the house. After searching the house we found out that this house was same like mine with three stories high with a room, a basement with panic room and a large garage with three different vehicles, four bedrooms and a guest room and a lot of tools around the house. There was also some dog stuff in the house which I decided to get after we come back from searching the rest of the mansion.
After seeing that there was nothing in that house I decided to search the mansion.
"Okay!" I spoke up as Gold and White followed behind me. "There is nothing here in your house except for the dog stuff and tools." I paused for a brief moment. "Now those we can get later, first let's find if there is anything of value in this place." I opened a door before stopping.
*Meow.*
There was a brown cat with black dots over it, in front of us.
"What?" I tilted my head.
*Woof* Gold barked as the brown cat hissed before he jumped at it.
"Hey wait!" I said as Gold chased after the Cat who was running away from him, forcing both me and White to run after him.
"This is not good!" I muttered as White and I chased after Gold.
After running through the corridor I saw Gold look into a room with a door that's ajar.
"Hey wait!" I said as he turned to look back at me and barked a few times before looking back in that room his tail wagging crazily.
"What is in here that got you so excited?" I asked as I stopped right in front of the door, I forced the slightly open door with no resistance and in front of me stood a kitchen. A really large kitchen with a lot of equipments. Even the pans and utensil were there. On the side there were a large stand that had utensil for cooking of various size. Also the counter top and stove, three different large size stove with six burners each.
I looked around until I was in front of the stove, there was no gas line under it when I bowed down to look under it, not even a gas cylinder but there was a pipe that was connected to the burners but it was not going anywhere except for a curiously glimmering red colored stone that was the size of my fist, a bit smaller but around it, but that was the size.
I stood back up as I gazed at stove top.
"Is this mansion supposed to belong to some big hotshot?" I asked myself as I put my hands on the knob of the stove before turning it, and I was surprised when there was a bit of the glow on the stove top, not something that would stun someone or an immediate light but a flicker before one the burner lit up with a beautiful blue flame.
'What?!' I thought shocked. 'But there is no gas connected to this?!'
