Finally, Leo had reached his destination. On the way here had been a breeze which was unsettling enough. The situation here was heaven compared to what's happening within the city. While he hadn't quite seen what could've happen to people like him, he could imagine. He just hopes it was a similar situation across the entire area outside of the metropolitan area of the city.
There within just a few feet of him was a house of extravagance. The wealthy in this city was definitely something else. Mansion that were elegantly designed. Giving an almost Italian like manor design with hints of Greek accent and highlights within its foundation and garden. It was a sight to behold sure, if he hadn't experience a disaster prior. Now admiring such architecture was far from the front of his thoughts currently.
Walking forward and the stepping on the stones ladling the path, he rang the doorbell. A loud chime was heard as his touch was registered by the button. Calming his nerves and waiting anyone to answer his unprompted visit, He took slow deliberate breaths to calm himself while rethinking even just the past hour and a half of insane and sudden change within his normalcy.
Within a minute the door opened and he was face to face with an older gentleman. Looking aged through stress or what he doesn't know but still well groomed. He had a chilly demeanor but he was definitely a nicer man than he thought from his initial conversation with him when he was being given the interview for his job. The owner of the luxurious home and as well as the company that owns the store he works in currently was now in front of him.
"Hello and good afternoon Mr. Morose. I need your help and it's an emergency can I please borrow your landline?" Leo was shaking slightly but he had priorities that need to be managed right now.
"Hello Mr. Winters I have been expecting you so please come in" The older man replied while leading him towards the open kitchen. Taking the landline before tossing it to him.
"Thank you very much. I really don't know anyone else I could've asked for help. Just give me a few minutes before I come back to you."
Mr. Morose smiled and simply replied with a simple nod before heading towards the foyer that leads towards the living room.
Taking a few breaths as he dials the number for his family's apartment, before finally pressing the dial button. A few rings passes by each ring increasing his worries and countless thoughts in his mind forming scenarios of what if's and such, before someone had finally picked up on the other side.
"Helllllo? Who is this?" a younger feminine voice drawled answering the line.
"Hey! This is Leo, thank god you're safe, How are you Aria?" A sigh of relief came out of Leo as he heard his sister's voice from the landline.
"huh? what do you mean I'm safe? I've been sleeping the past 4 hours. Of course I'm safe nothing could've happened to me." The voice slowly gaining traction as she seemed to be finally brushing off the tiredness in her voice.
"You haven't seen something weird or dangerous right?"
"No, why am I suppose to be seeing something weird or dangerous?"
Leo took a breath before he proceeded with what he is about to say toward his sibling. Calming his nerves even further as he doesn't want his sister to panic or worse try to get out of the building and head outside by herself.
"Ok listen to me and follow my instructions to the letter. This is serious and I'm not joking. Just please listen to me right now. Check all the windows and any doors that lead outside. Make sure they're close and locked until our parents or I unlock the door. If you can check the outside through the windows for anything weird like a creature that you haven't seen before. Just make sure you don't get spotted and please be as quite as possible. After you do that just close the blinds so nothing can look through the windows. There should be food left there you can eat those and please stay safe."
"You're scaring me here Leo. Is there anything specific I should be looking for?"
"No, Aria please just be careful. Even I don't know what specifically you should be looking for just stay safe. There's been a bunch of monsters and creatures that appeared downtown and it's a disaster. Just be safe until I can get to you ok?"
"yeah. Ok, Just please get here safely if you can and don't get injured"
"You too, I'll see you in a bit" Ending the call Leo proceeded to put the phone back into the machine it's part of and headed towards the foyer. Where he encountered Persephone coming down from the stairs.
"I knew we would meet sooner than you thought" She yelled as she saw me coming from the kitchen.
"Ho-h-how did you know?" Surprise and agitation envelops Leo's emotion as the thought of her possibly knowing what's happening out there right now spreads trough his mind.
"I had a feeling and anyways this isn't the right place to talk about this. Follow me to where my father is" She replied while simply walking towards the opposite hall the led to the kitchen where I had come from.
