Cassandra sat across the lady on the dining table narrating her ordeal earlier in the day to the her whilst she devoured the food which she had been served by the lady.
The food tasted heavenly to her taste buds although she knew that given how hungry she had been earlier that anything would have tasted really good to her, she couldn't help moaning as she devoured the food.
The lady smiled kindly at her while watching her eat. She liked the lady already; but then that was how she was, she liked anyone who didn't judge her because of her size and who showed her a little kindness.
After eating her food, the lady whose name she had learned was Avery, took her to the room which was to be hers, it was on the top floor of the building and just opposite it was another room which was shut.
Seeing her gaze on the other room Mrs. Avery said " oh, this room belongs to Leo and the other one down there is his study room " she explained.
Judging from the way she mentioned Leonard's name fondly, Cassandra guessed they had a good relationship.
There were only three rooms on this floor, the third one was further down on the side of Leonard's own room .
"This will be your room, Cassandra "
Her room was beautifully decorated and very spacious, everything in this room was white which she didn't like but she couldn't complain now could she?
She needed to take a shower, clear her mind and begin to think of the perfect escape plan from here. She knew that it was going to be really tough given the number of guards she had seen stationed all over the place. The only place were there weren't any guards was in the home itself.
'Why on earth do they need such an outrageous number of guards to protect themselves,there were just too many guards' she thought dejectedly.
Despite her protests the lady still helped her prepare her bath. She stripped of the tight dress which she gad been made to wear all day, she exhaled a breath of relief as it landed on the floor by her feet.
After taking her bath, she came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, wondering what she was to wear then.
She walked to the closet there to try her luck. Opening the closet she wasn't quite prepared for what she saw; there were so many clothes and other accessories in there. She was dumbstruck by this. She didn't feel like she could wear all these things in her life time! Looking at all the stuff she came into a conclusion that the charltons were just a set of extravagant people!
'Jeez, these people really want me to spend my lifetime here!' She shuddered at the thought . She really needed to start planning her escape from here soon.
Hopefully her brother would have been released from jail now, she wondered how her poor Dad took the news, she knew they would be worried sick thinking of her. If only it were possible to send a message over to them telling them that she was alright she sighed selecting a pink flannel pajamas . She checked the sizes of some of the clothes and they were all her size which she found surprising.
'Does this mean that the Charltons were stalking her and for how long?' She wondered.
She walked over the large dressing mirror in the room and watched her reflection .
'So ugly' she muttered. She walked over to the large bed and laid on it. She sighed as felt the softness of the bed. The bed was large enough to accommodate six people and there was a total of eight pillows on it and although she had planned not to sleep she found herself unable to resist the sleep as she had had a stressful day.
'I'll just think of my escape plan tomorrow then' she said as she pulled the covers up to her chin and snuggling deeper into the sheets, finally she drifted off to sleep.
Cassandra awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and re-energized. She yawned and rubbed her eyes sleepily, her eyes scanning her surroundings in confusion, it took her a moment to recall where she was, she sighed when she did so. Pushing down the covers, she walked bare feet to the door, she placed her ears on the door listening for any sounds on the under side of the door, when she was sure that there was no sound, she pulled it open and came out of the room before closing it behind her. She glanced over at the door opposite hers. It was still closed, she hadn't heard Leonard come in yesterday.
'Maybe he's still asleep' she thought.
Her heart skipped a bit at the thought of seeing him again. Slowly she walked down the stairs. Taking her time now to admire her surroundings. The house was indeed very beautiful and tastefully decorated. She felt the only thing that the house was lacking was a bit of color as almost everything in it was white.
