I was welcomed back by every member of the staff before the first man grabbed my bags and led me to my room.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo33yAZACpO
“This is nice,” I said. We walked straight into the lower level, which contains the sitting room and bathroom. There was a spiral staircase a few feet to the left of the door, leading up to the bedroom.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2hhg8E05o
“I spent quite a bit of time getting this room back to perfect condition when I found out you woke up,” he told me. I racked my mind to remember him.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WjwJz8SJm
Bingo! He was the person who would check up on me while my ‘parents’ would be at work. He would put bandages on scratches, wake me up if I slept in on a day I was to be tutored on, made sure I was presentable when guests came. He was, essentially, my guardian. I knew him by the name ‘Charles’. I had a strange feeling that I knew him by a different name, but i couldn't think of it.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyxE0of6IN
“Thank you,” I replied. He had me go up to the next level, where the bedroom was, and placed the bags next to my bed for me to take care of later.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5mkbuAvuf
“Is there anything else you need?” he asked me. I looked around and set my sights on the large bookcase, which reached all the way to the ceiling.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAJXeQnzxO
“I should be okay,” I replied. He nodded and welcomed me back again before walking out. The moment I heard the door close beneath me I grabbed a book from my bag and pulled out the small slip of paper, putting it in my pocket as I slid the ladder to the very middle of the bookcase. I quickly climbed up the ladder and had soon found the book mentioned on the slip, at the very top.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKzJbk3Ka9
I pulled it out and reached to the back of the shelf. It took me a few seconds, but eventually I felt a little button at the back. I pressed it immediately and a small part of the ceiling above me flipped up, revealing a hidden area above.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtESGLgQUF
I reached up and grabbed the edges, lifting myself up with quite a bit of effort.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFfIs9IEBP
“This place is awesome,” I said when I found a lamp and turned it on. “What’s with all the files, though?”706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o9aqktQab
The entire room was shaped like the roof and was filled with files. There were a few chairs and lamps lying around to give me a good supply of light.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyU17iqOLH
I grabbed a flashlight that was on the floor next to me and opened a box of files, peering into the contents. The first file was labeled Mom.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtkIVGStfN
I was trying to find the truth about my past. The person I really was. Once this fact registered in my head I looked through the box as fast as I could. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any names or concrete facts, only things I had discovered that might have had something to do with her. According to one sheet, they both died in a 'car accident', but it didn't state anything else. I looked through another box before returning to the bedroom.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdQUVaaOHM
“We brought back your little friend,” one of the maids said as she and another carried in a tank with a small turtle swimming around in it several minutes later.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwelO7sEi3
“He’s kinda cute,” I said, helping them maneuver it onto a stand for the tank.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1azr7AVzE
“We’ve kept him well-fed for you,” she told me.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhJdyPwaZp
“Thank you,” I replied. They nodded and walked out.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRraopuShRx
“I thought I’d never have another chance today,” Michael said with a sigh, reappearing on my bed.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN3j63MxEh
“What do you want?” I asked him.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqJDSZTtCZ
“What I want is to make sure that you play the video on that flash drive,” he told me.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3VBZMqAUn
“Oh, yeah, right,” I said. I grabbed the trick book from a bag and grabbed the flash drive from it.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsG4UlvOVk
“How do you use one of these things?” I asked him. He hadn’t returned enough memory for me to know how to use one, so I was clueless.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd3wMSomDM
He showed me where they go on a computer and helped me turn on the computer.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqDEBjOCna
“Now just click on the image that appears on the desktop,” he told me. I did it and a video began playing of me walking around in the hidden room above my head.706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyJIF2BjeI
