They both woke up in a brightly lit room. They were both sleeping on plushy couches. They had not sat up and only looked at each other silently since they could hear a presence behind them. Someone was talking on the phone , they looked up and saw the person look at them, he smiled at them and cut the call . They were not even tied up with anything .
" You're awake already I was wondering whether you would sleep till forever. " she came and stood before them handing them glasses off water each.
"So I want is to have some negotiation then I'll let you both leave and go home, ok??" she spoke,she really didn't want to beat around the bush.
They already knew it was the impostor who was at Grandma's place.
"A negotiation about what and who are you ?" June asked looking at the woman carefully.
"Ok ,I am Klara and am a shade" she straight forwardly told them without hiding anything from them. She could see the curiosity in their eyes .
" Shade ?" Ria asked.
She sighed and cursed under her breath. Of course they didn't know what a shade was.
" Ok,let's go I'll show you both" Klara stood abruptly and gestured them to follow her out. They were both a little hesitant but finally they followed.
" So girls this is my mansion as you can see it very pretty but where we are going is quite different from this place " Klara was super proud of herself.
They walked through the Brightly lit hallways ,and passed some rooms that looked vacant . Some maids were in the hallways ,they looked at them both as if they were scared of them. It was quite ironical since ,Ria and June were the ones who were supposed to be scared and not the maids.
They walked out of the house and went to an adjacent house which was completely different from where they were.
People,animals and even birds were all over the place .
" Woah!" June was looking all over the place. It looked more like a workshop to them both. June interest was hyped up immediately.Ria was just cautious and scared. June walked further in leaving Klara and Ria to look at her surprised. She came back almost immediately panting as if she just came from a race.
" Can we go further in ,I want see more but I don't know the directions I will most probably get lost " she told Klara who shook her head in denial .
" Why?" they both asked in unison.
" Because you'll come back to this place sooner or later so let's go on with our negotiation" Klara walked into a room inside the house . It looked like her office, she gestured for them to sit down a she sat on the desk.
"Bringing us here still didn't answer our question ,what are you ?' Ria asked in a threatening tone that made Klara flinch a little but she didn't show Ria. Weirdly she felt that this Ria girl was superior to her and sooner or later she would submit to her. The authority in her voice clearly tells all that. But for now that they were both Powerless human girls ,she was nowhere near to submit to any of them.
" Ok ,all those animals birds , animals and humans are shades. Shades are shape shifters and can shape shift to any being they desire to take the form except the identify of a human. So am one of them but am most superior here but I also have masters who I work for " she explained.
They both blinked as they looked at each other and back to Klara .June was the first to ask.
" Then if you don't take other people's identify how did you take Klara's form ?"
" Well ,that was just a mask I had to put on and am really impressed since my acting skills are good,if it were not for their graveyards , you'd still be uninformed " although Klara took their grandma's form she could feel the unease from Ria from time to time .
" What did you want now ,we need to go home my dad must've called already " Ria was strangely very quite as she stared at Klara.
" In one week I need June back here with all her stuff" Klara went straight to the Point ,Both girls stared at her in surprise. Ria suddenly stood and stared at Klara angrily.
" Who the hell, do you think you are to make such an order? " Ria didn't mean to be rude or anything but what was this woman trying to say ,she kidnaps and then tries to act all friendly with them and lastly starts making decisions for them.
" Why? " June asked as she was weirdly quiet.
" Because you have to start some training" Klara said as she worriedly looked at June and that didn't escape Ria notice. She could see how concerned Klara seemed to be for June which made her too wonder why so .
" Training on what ,it's not like we're going for some war or battle ?" now June was utterly confused.
"Okay then ,in forty days someone will start to posses you June "
Ria and June looked at Klara for a while , blinking slowly till they burst out in laughter .
" You must be joking right!? posseses! where in the world was that ever heard of?" June jokingly asked but looking at Klara she stopped smiling since the woman was dead serious.
" Since you both think this is a joke I'll actually not prove anything to you but you wait and see how serious this is " her time was warning them and mostly June could feel the warning bells in her brain ' but for now you can go home ,let's go" she led them out and that's when they saw the men who were in tuxedo's the day they were brought here come to then again and held their wrist and just like that their eyes became heavy.
