As they reach the to stairs, Nia is still very confused of what's going on. First, she never knew her mother had a twin, this whole time when she went to her grandmother's house not even her grandparents mention anything about a son. She thought her mother was an only child, she can't believe her mother would hide that from her!
Secondly how on earth did he know she was here? Nia only ever told Allison where she was and by text only, this is creeping her out but weirdly she's not scared anymore because she feels as if she's been here before, not the town but the restaurant, she feels as if she's walked up this exact stairs hundreds of thousands of times, yet she can't remember when exactly.
They seem to only be on the first floor. Nia took a look around and as she looked up all she cold see was stairs and stairs and stairs that leads to more rooms
' that's strange' she thought to her self, "wasn't the restaurant a bungalow?" "Uhm yea the restaurant is a bungalow, to a normal customer but you aren't normal now are you Nia?" "ALRIGHT now you're creeping me out! What the hell do you mean by not normal?" Nia is now scared shitless, what the hell is wrong with all this people?
"Tell me Nia, have you ever had a dream where you are at first crying and then you are killing someone with a insanely huge sword for no apparent reason?"
If she had the power to teleport, Nia would in no second teleport very far away from this town and never return, people hiding one minute and then the other minute act like nothing else happened, an uncle she never knew she had and a girl who just talked about the one thing that kept her awake at night.
Teddy kept walking without looking back but Nia stop in her track the second words left Teddy's mouth. "How do you know about that?" Nia asked slowly with cautious, she knew this people for a few minutes, and she followed them wherever they took her, how could she be so stupid, it's not like her parents didn't teach her about staying away from strangers, she just got too confused in her own mind to even comprehend what the hell she's getting herself into.
Nia took slow and cautious steps back to make sure she doesn't trip or if this person in front of her turns out to be a serial killer and try to kill her she can bolt down the stairs and out of this weird town.
Without looking back Teddy said "Nia, don't be scared. We all get that dream everyday here, the reason there is a lot of people here is cause we are all the same... We are special in a way. I know I'm not supposed to say anything but, we see and do things that others can't. Well here we are"
Nia didn't realize she continued walking with Teddy, but she feels a little relax now that she told Nia not to worry but that doesn't mean she's okay with it, see things? Do things? The only thing Nia did was chores around the house back in her home town.
They stood in front of the door and Teddy knocked before entering "I guess Damon is not home yet, this is it this is where you'll be staying until the top floor is finished renovated" "uhh thank you" "you don't have to thank me, and you can call me Teddy but my actual name is Talia" Talia reached out her hand to shake and Nia except it with an awkward smile "My name is Niarina, but most people call me Nia" " well not me cause I'm calling you Rina" Nia smiled, a genuine smile cause her mother calls her that name and it felt good to be called like that again.
Most importantly it feels good to know she can first take a big nap with no problem of checking out of a hotel early in the morning. Once Teddy left Nia closed the door behind her and took a deep breath once again taking in all the weird information she got today.
Looking around the very surprisingly big apartment, she saw that the Hall and kitchen is connected and the place was super clean as if someone know there is going to be people coming, it looked nothing like Joe said, it wasn't messy but God know how the inside of this Damon kids room looked like.
There was only two room, the room to her left was near the kitchen and there was a sign on the door that said ' I'm a very good boy, but pls stay away from my room or I'll pour hot boiling water on your face while your sleeping. To who ever is coming today to stay with me<3'
She didn't have to read that two times she got the message, Nia took her bags and turned to her right and went to the room, the room was quite boring, but everything was made of wood so that made it look classic, she didn't even bother to close her door cause the moment she saw the bed, she took off her sweatshirt and shoes and jumped onto the bed, it didn't take a second and she is already passed out on the bed.
