Chapter 6 - Dumbstruck

The address which was written in the paper was located in Cerveny. So, Della and her friends travelled through train.

They did not know anyone there.

While waiting for the taxi, Lexi noticed that Della was anxious. So, she cracked jokes to make her cheerful.

They finally found a taxi.

"Where do you want to go, Sir?" Asked the driver.

Robin handed him the paper and asked "Can you please take us to this place?"

"Yes, Sir. But this is actually an abandoned house, usually no one goes there." Said the driver.

They all were shocked. But they had no other choice but to go there. They almost lost their hope but got hold of themselves and continued their journey to the house.

The place which was written in the paper was actually an abandoned house in Cerveny and people called it "THE RED ROSE MANSION".

Now, The three of them reached their destination (Red rose mansion).

The place was damaged as if it had a fire accident long ago.

Lexi was very excited, But Della and Robin were very cautious.

"This is a huge mansion!" exclaimed Lexi. before they entered, they wanted to ask a few questions about it to the driver.

"Sir, Did this place have a fire accident?" Asked Della to the driver

"No ma'am, It did not. It looks like it. But this place isn't really popular." The driver answered.

"Okay sir. Thank you for cooperating with us!" Thanked Della.

They stood in front of the door and opened it. It wasn't as old as the Onti Clocko.

"Della, Are you sure we can find clues here?" Asked Robin.

"We have no other choice, We have to succeed in this mission." Said Della.

"I heard a noise" Said Lexi with a trembling voice.

"Probably a bat" Said Robin.

Della searched for clues.

"Della, I feel like someone is watching us." Said Lexi.

"Must be your imagination Lexi." Said Robin.

"No Robin, I felt the same a while ago" Said Della.

They all went in different directions to see if someone was there. But they were disappointed. They all lost hope and decided to go back to Lenda.

While walking towards the door, the wind hissed around Della's hair as if someone was calling her.

She turned instantly.

When she gazed up, she saw a man with a peaceful smile.

He had a calm face. Robin and Lexi came inside as Della was standing there.

They were astonished.
