Elegance

I left the fancy dining room and walked around inspecting the huge house. The door to the garden was locked and so was the front door. The same door under the stairs was also locked. I didn't know where the kets were and I didn't know where to start looking. I went to the kitchen first. I saw a man standing in the kitchen. He, in a way, looked like a male version of Mikasan.

   ' That's probably Millon. '

I left the kitchen and walked upstairs. I checked most of the doors and they were all unlocked. I passed my room and continued to open all the doors. I found two more bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There was a small study in one of the rooms. Then I opened another door and bound another bedroom, but this one was bigger than the others.

   ' This must be the master bedroom. '

I looked around the room but didn't walk inside. The covers were ruffled and around the bed and I saw a pair shoes around the room.

   ' So, Oliver stays here then. Maybe the keys are somewhere in here? '

I walked into the room and started by his bed. I looked in the bedside tables but I didn't find anything but papers. I looked on top of the dressers and didn't see anything on them. Nothing but a few pennies and dollars.

   ' He must carry them on himself. '

I was about to leave the room when I looked at the closet door. I walked to the doors and pulled the doors open. What I saw sent shivers down my spine. There were pictures of me around the closet. The clothes were gone and put in the drawers of the dressers leaving this space open for anything. There were pictures and some of my bottles that I drank out of. If there were pictures of my friends their faces were scratched out leaving only my face. I saw a little box on the floor in front of the pictures and I bent down to open it. It seemed to be locked so I couldn't open it. I stood up and shut the doors. I left Olivers room and continued down the hallway. The last doors was propped open. I opened the door a little more and looked around the room.

   ' This is an elegant room. Is that a piano I hear? '

The room was white with bookshelves lining the left and right walls. There were white couches in the middle of the room with a glass coffee table that sat in detween them. In front of me there was no wall. There was a glass window that touched the tips of the left and right wall corners. There were steps leading up to an area in front of the huge window wall. On the white platform was a granf white piano. everything was clean and white. It was elegant. Sitting on the piano chair was Oliver. He was playing the piano as the sun shone in the room. 

   " Please come take a seat. "

His voice was soft and calm. I walked further into the room and walked to the other end of the room and climbed up the small stairs. I sat beside him on the piano bench. He continued to play the piano as we sat.

   " Why is this wall a huge window? "

   " I like how the sunlight reflects around the room. With the white walls and floors the lights lights up the room brightly and it looks so angelic like this. "

   " I see. Doesn't it get cold in here during the winter? "

   " It does, but that's the best time of the year to come in here. You can wrap up in a blanket and drink some hot chocolate. It's cozy. "

   " Where are the lights? Surely you have some lights automatically turn on when it's night. "

   " They are on the ceiling where they should be. "

   " Oh. "

It was silent from there on. Oliver continued to play the piano and I listened to him play. The sound bounced off of the walls and the room seemed like a complete dream.

   " I'm sorry for earlier. When I held a knife to you. I shouldn't have done that. "

   " Apology accepted. Oliver you do realize this is kidnapping?"

   " I do. "

   " Then, why do it? "

   " You're worth it. "

   " But you killed those people. "

   " Y/n I did it for this moment. So, we could be together. My muse and I. It's a dream that has now come true with only killing 2 or three people. "

   " But it's against the law Oliver. You could be arrested. "

   " I won't be. They would never expect me to do it. " 

   " Oliver, I don't want to be here. I have a life to live and I can't just stay here with you. I love Ryo and I'm sorry but I can't be with you. Please understand this and let me go. "

He stopped playing the piano and looked out of the window. Butterflies were flying around and the sun shone brightly. Then he looked back at me and grabbed my hands gently. 

   " I'll make a deal with you. If you stay here with me willingly then I won't hurt anyone else. I promise. "

   " Oliver you've already killed two people. "

   " I know and that is in the past. You think I didn't plan to kill Ryo or Akane? If you stay here with me then I won't kill anyone else. "

   " Oliver..."

   ' But I want to leave. I want to protect them, but I want to be able to leave and be free. '

Oliver waited for my answer as he gazed into my eyes with hope. 

   " Oliver...I'll-"
