Scarlet's POV ...
It is quite a long time since Tyler is running and I am just sitting on him. We just entered a place, and it looks like a village from the forest we have been in Ranchdale. I think this is the Emberson already. The land of werewolves that Tyler is talking about a while ago when we are about to leave the ice cream store.
I did not know, and I have no definite idea that there is a place here. I thought the forest was just a dead-end in our city. I mean it is quite of dead-end because no one is allowed to go there, but the place we are going to right now, I never expected it. l expected this place to be scary, but it seems like it just looks like a normal city. It has streetlights, houses with gates and doorbells, and cars. I was expecting werewolves roaming around and eating different kinds of meats, but no. I do not see anyone or any werewolf drooling around and looking for food. It seems to be okay here, I just judged it so fast.
The scary part is just, that this big town is surrounded by a big forest.
I felt that Tyler run slowly. When I looked at where we stopped, I saw a very big gate. I looked inside and I saw a big mansion full of lights and chandeliers inside. I can see the other parts inside because it has some big transparent windows.
When entering the gate, there is a separated driveway towards the big door or entrance of the mansion. In that separate way, there is like a garden full of plants on each side. I can see it even though it is dark because of the lights that have been designed for it. I saw these kinds of structures before on television, in school, and on social media, but I was just amazed when I have seen them in person.
Some guards are guarding the big gate and they opened the gate immediately when they saw us.
Tyler stopped a little bit in front of them.
"Hello Ms. Scarlet, welcome to your home." The one guard smiled at me. Is he also a werewolf and he is just in his human form?
Maybe he is, and he also knows my name!
"Thank you." That is all that came from my mouth.
After that, Tyler continued running towards the entrance of the mansion. He passes through the right side of the driveway.
Tyler stopped at the entrance.
"Go down and look for someone who has a
name, Maria. She would help you and accompany you inside and to your room."
I followed him.
"Do not leave me here, how about you? Where are you going?" I asked him. I do not want to go inside alone. I am not familiar with everyone here. I am a shy person when I am new to a new place.
"Do not worry. Maria will take good care of you. Do not miss me too much because I will see you in your room later. Wait for me in your room, maybe take a rest first. See you later. "
"Tyler!"
He immediately left.
What am I going to do now? Will I knock? I think I am just going to press the doorbell.
I pressed the doorbell thrice.
*Ding dong
*Ding dong
*Ding dong
No one is still opening the door. What will I be going to do?
I decided to knock already. I was about to knock at the big door when it suddenly opened.
"Ms. Scarlet! There you are. Welcome here! I am sorry if I let you wait for a few minutes. I was doing something in the kitchen"
I think everyone knows my face and my name here.
I saw a woman that is older than me in 8-10 years maybe. She is wearing a maid outfit. Is she also a werewolf? Looks like she is just an ordinary jolly person.
"Hello, I am looking for Ms. Maria," I smiled at her.
"That is me. I am the head-maid of this house. Sometimes they call me the senior housemaid, but I do not prefer it because I am not still a grandma. I am not even in my 40s yet, dear." She smiles back at me.
Wow, we just met, and she already talks a lot to me.
These kinds of people make me really comfortable and remove my shyness towards them. I wish everyone here is like her so that I can easily cope up with them all.
"Tyler told me to look for you because he told me that you would accompany me inside."
"Yes, Ms. Scarlet. Come inside and I would accompany you first to your room so that you can rest after a trip Your two pieces of luggage are also there and it just arrived a while ago also, maybe 10 minutes earlier than you." She is very detailed.
She let me inside the mansion and once I got inside, I can smell the scent of this house and it has a fragrant smell. Is it like this when you live in a luxurious house?
I admit my parents are rich and we live in a very comfortable house, but this mansion is really different. I am also noticing the architecture of the mansion inside and it is very modern. Is this the life of a rich werewolf? It seems that it is much better than humans.
I looked up and it has also a very high ceiling and a very big chandelier which serves as a light of the broad living room.
Just like the driveway outside, the stairs here going to the second floor has a separate way. I think this is called a split staircase. In the middle of it is a big wall and has a painting of a werewolf. A werewolf with black and white fur. It is very beautiful.
"This mansion is very broad and beautiful right?" Maria talked to me. We are walking upstairs going to the second floor.
"Uhm, yes. It is very gorgeous."
She smiles again at me.
We are here now on the right side of the second floor of the mansion. Here on the second floor, there is a very long hallway full of doors. I think it is room for a specific object or person.
We are just walking straight until we arrived at a two-door room. The design of the room is really breathtaking. Is this going to be my room?
"This is your lovely room, Ms. Scarlet. We fixed and cleaned it thoroughly before you arrived. Your two pieces of luggage are also there as well. Is there anything you need?" She asked.
"No, I am fine. I think it is okay if I will take first a rest because I got tired from our trip. I think this room is too big and too much for me. Are you sure this is the room they said for me?"
I can't believe that this is my room.
It looks like a queen's room. Maybe Maria was just wrong. I do not like to expect myself to be a queen inside this room.
"No, Ms. Scarlet. This room is made and prepared for you for a long time."
"For a long time?"
"Yes, here is the key to your room Ms. Scarlet."
I grabbed the key from her hand.
"Thank you."
She already left. Well, I think this is really mine.
I looked at the two-door again and decided to unlock it with the key. I am very excited to see it because it will be going to be my most comfortable spot here at this mansion.
Once I opened the door, I looked inside, and it is very gorgeous. Like what? This room is just as big as our living room at home!
I went inside and then closed the door. I observed every single part of this room. The bed, the tall cabinets, a chandelier, the sofa, and the big window. It has also an incorporated rug, overfilled pillows, and a study table with a nice lamp.
This room is full of comfort, and elegance, and I think it has the highest pedigree in interior design.
I moved to the bathroom to check on it. I switched on the light, and I saw a shower, bathtub, big mirror, and sink.
After checking all the parts of this room, decided to fix my luggage already. I was about to rest, but when I saw the design of this room, it made me boost on fixing my things.
I admit that my room right now is very beautiful, but I still remember my room there at my house and it will be my most favorite room. I also miss dad and mom already. I know to myself that I will be thinking of them every time. I think I will feel homesick any time here. I hope they can and will visit me always.
