Chapter 14
(3d POV)
The RV drove slowly through the dirt road. The driver contemplating to turn back as the trees seeming to get thicker the longer he drove.
"Are you sure we're going the right way?" Alex asked while trying yet failing to shake off her nervous feeling from her creepy surroundings.
Jack nod slightly, refusing to take his eyes off of the road as if anticipating something to jump out. "I've live in Vegas long enough to know where not to drive. And this.." He felt an ominous feeling as if the trees were watching him then flinched slightly as a crow landed on the nearest tree, staring at him with wide eyes as he drove pass."... is definitely one of my top five places."
Jack's past of working for a mob boss, Mr . Wolf and as a taxi driver had kept him well informed and yet no one was able to get information about the mystery that is mystery manor, except for the fact that behind those walls was a manor. It had gotten to the point that even Mr. Wolf was annoyed because in the past, the whole place was basically a mob neighborhood that he own until the police got involved. Almost everyone went to jail while the others either migrated or went missing then not long after, this wall was built.
In the back, the 3 teens in the back seat, remained quiet. Sarah who sat in the only seat behind the driver, if not for her telepathic abilities constantly going through everyone's mind, she too would have been scared. Seth and Skyler sat close to the front as possible which was the small booth like dinning area. Seth held a shocked Skyler in his arms once she came to the realization that upon going to sit down, she had walked through the table.
"It will get easier." He whispered softly in her ear. Enjoying the feeling of her relaxed state against his chest.
"I assumed as much. It's just.." She stated, sighing in frustration she tried to place her hands on the table only for it to go right through. "..How am I supposed to work like this when you and the ground are the only things I can touch right now."
"We are taught in our youth upon meeting our half..." Unable to stop himself, pulling her closer to take in her scent. "...Allow our instincts to lead and the rest will come naturally." He whispered in her ears, unintentionally running his hands from her shoulders down to her hands slowly, taking satisfaction her shivering under his touch. "Until is complete our bond.." he laced his fingers with hers then placed their hands on the table. "...We never part."
Alex got tired of the quiet horror movie atmosphere, and started looking up on a reliable website about the manor.
"Mystery Manor. A Los Vegas tourist attraction without the tourist." Jack chuckled as she continued reading. "Build after the fall of the notorious mob neighborhood. With 93.75 acres of land, almost completely surrounding the old neighborhood was a wall which, at first glance, appears to be made of bricks to upon closer inspection, was actually made from steel." At that point, before she could read anything else, her phone screen went black. "What?" In confusion, she tried several times to turn it on but to no avail.
"That's not gonna work from this point on." Jack stated as the entrance came into view.
"Oh my.." her jaw dropped as they slowly drove closer toward a large black door.
The door was almost as high as the wall and was 3 times wider than their RV with black lamp posts on either side.
The car came to a stop as Jack took a deep breath before smirking at Alex, "Welcome to the gates of Hell." He said sarcastically before turning toward the young couple, "Hey Skylar, you're up."
Pulling out something from her pocket and throwing it to him, "There is a key hole under one of the lumps to the right. Remember to compensate for our height differences."
"So your not gonna..." He gestured to her and outside but upon seeing Seth's arms tighten around her, glancing at him with a slight glare. "No?" He turned to Alex for help yet the only other adult wasn't even looking at him. He sighed while getting up. "OK." Hesitated getting out before slowing approaching the door and started his search. "Leave the giant death door to me."
After a few minutes, he was about to assume Skyler was lying until one of the lumps started turning. When it finally came out, it shocked Jack that their was an actual key hole within.
Quickly putting the key in, he flinch upon hearing the banging sound of metal on metal before the door shook. Jack rushed back to the drivers seat as the door opened revealing nothing but darkness inside.
Both adults stared at the dark abys in fear, counting the amount of circumstances where this could go wrong. After a few minutes of silence,"Are we going in or not?" Asked Skyler.
"Yeah." Snapping out of his trance, he turned on the head lights before driving forward. RV crept forward slowly and after a while but stopped because of the wall in front.
"Where do we go now?" Jack asked but jumped upon hearing the slam of the door behind them. Beside lights from the RV, their surroundings was completely pitch black. "Skyler!"
"Just give him a few seconds. He's old." She said.
"Give who.." He started when a light was shined in his eyes.
"Skyler! Is that you in there!?" Someone asked from in the darkness.
They could barely make out the outline of a person yet the voice sounded like an elderly male.
"Yes it's me. Mr. Miller." She said, pushing herself through Jack's window, leaning on his back in the process.
"I thought that was you and who are your friends?" He asked giving Jack a look of suspicion.
"Just some work friends Mr. Miller. We're currently working on a new project together. Do you mind opening the gate?" She asked
"Of course." With that, his light turned off, followed by the retreating sound of footsteps.
A little while after the lights finally turned on, illuminating the whole room. "Are we in a parking lot?" Alex asked
The room was rectangular with white lines on the asphalt floor similar to a parking lot. There was also a sloop to the left, indicating that the parking lot when underground. To the right, an old grey haired male stood next to a single iron door, stealthily blending into the wall.
"Welcome back miss." With a smile on his face, he pushed a button on his remote causing the wall which was actually a rolling service door infront of them to lift.
