To Flower, she can easily tell the difference between her tour guide and the men working here. His build is different and he seems to know what he is doing. He also appears to be smarter than the others. As if every step he takes and every movement he does seems to have a motive behind it. Flower can tell that Xavier can easily trick them all, but can anyone else? Flower looks at the antsy girls around her. Probably not. And for some odd reason Flower could tell that that isn't a very good sign. Xavier leads them through the building showing them the different rooms to stay in and the rooms for the workers. He mentions that you can eat for free and tells the girls that they can't go up the spirals because it's a secret before winking at the girls as if the young group wants anything to do with an RS. During their walk Flower realizes that there are several rooms that Xavier doesn't introduce or even acknowledge as if they are not even there. After the guide introduces all the interesting things in the building which Flower swallows whole, he goes to the guest room for formal guests. It is bare except for two foldable chairs by the wall with a tiny chair. What kind of guest room is that? Xavier leads them out but not before Flower notices a tiny crooked nose in the wall a little less than the size of her pinky. Flower quickly looks around the rest of the room's walls. The wall is completely smooth. Not just normally smooth but smooth to the point of flawless dedication. Why would there be a crooked stone standing out of a wall that seems to be so perfect? Flower finds herself falling behind the group and hurries along to catch up. When they reach the front desk again they don't find Cindy there. Xavier disappears and Reina informs them that Cindy had something important to do and they'll have to wait for her. The girls as well as Reina simply go on their phones or start chatting as if it didn't matter. Flower on the other hand is very curious about the things in this RS that she hasn't seen. She slowly sneaks away from her group making sure that nobody notices and quietly walks over to the crooked nose in the wall. Now that she is here by herself, Flower notices a strange aura coming from this room. Flower walks over to the crooked nose and pulls but nothing happens. She twisted but again nothing happens. Flower then pushes and grunts and pulls at the nose thinking for sure that it holds a secret compartment, but still nothing happens. Giving up Flower walks out of the room planning to go back to her group when she notices a door with a carving on its front. Where did I see that sign? The girl tries thinking back and placing where she saw the carving but nothing pops up in her mind. Deciding to find out, Flower puts her hand on the door knob, and tries her best to open it quietly and not make a sound. To her surprise the door opens soundlessly seeming to not even disturb the air around it. Flower is again taken by the feeling of the room. What is going on? Is there someone watching me? Scared by that thought, Flower turns behind her and looks around to make sure that nobody is following her. There's nobody there. Flower keeps telling herself. Still she feels like she is being watched and the hair on the back of her neck stands on edge. It's just the cold. Why does it seem that Flower keeps coming up with more excuses to hide her fear? The girl pushes the thoughts away once more and studies the room. The room is more her taste with light green walls and a Queen bed with a black bed stand and drawer near it. The room is considered tiny but cozy. Though Flower doesn't know what kind of RS gives such rooms to the guests or workers. None of the other rooms she saw had this much effort put into them. Right before Flower decides to walk out the door, she hears voices nearby. Flower freezes in place and listens. The voices don't seem to be close to her or heading her way. If she gets out right now, then no one will see her. With that in mind, Flower tip toes out the room and walks past several open rooms that the tour guide showed them. She then sees a room in a little corner that Xavier didn't show them. When Flower pays attention she realizes the voices are coming from that room. The girl thinks if she just tip toes quietly the people in the room won't hear her and yet…. Flower finds herself drawn again by curiosity to the room where she puts her ears on the door to listen. Inside the voices are muffled.
"We can't do that…..what will happen…..no….no"
"I will take care of this…..Don't get involved" Flower can't tell how many people are in the room since they are deadly quiet.
"Ok….Bye. I'll meet you next time." Flower starts panicking because she can hear the steps coming her way out the door. I'll get caught. The steps become thuds like her whole world is shaking just waiting to see what will happen to Flower. I have no time. The steps get closer. No. No. No. But the steps don't stop. Thud. Thud. Thud. Flower's heart is pounding in her chest. What will happen to her if she gets caught? They will surely throw her out and leave her there. No, that can't happen to her. She barely managed to get to The Sheero anyways. She didn't have to do anything then. They had just brought her in, paid for her room and classes and simply left. Now that she is thinking about it, it is pretty strange. But the thumping steps don't let her think much. The knob twisted and... the voices start again. The door knob stands frozen mid twist just like how Flower is frozen in place. She quickly sprints down the rest of the hallway trying not to make a sound. The floor under her creeks and Flower winces hoping that nobody hears that. The young girl barely has time to rush into the group and try to sit on the chair before Cindy walks in.
"Let's go, everyone. Time to leave" Cindy says, her voice seeming softer than Flower remembered. Then Cindy looks straight at Flower and her heart skips a beat. She couldn't have known or seen what happened So why is she staring at me like that. But soon the moment passes and Flower's heart rate goes back down.
