Midnight's POV

Cole has shown me where my room will be and told me to start unpacking. I did as I was told and once I was done, I had time to admire the room. The room had dark blue walls with gold detailing. I looked up onto the ceiling and was mesmerized by the different colors splattered wildly onto it. It looked so intriguing as if they meant for it to look that way and is abstract art. The bed has a black wood frame and the the blanket on top was a beautiful cream color in contrast to the dark blue walls. It also had gold intricate designs all of over it. They looked as if it was a golden vine with no flowers to be found. Just the beautiful golden thorny vines. Somehow, instead of making me feel panicked like I normally do whenever I see thorny vines, I feel calm.

I walk to one of my bags to look for my design book. I've always designed since I was a kid. I enjoyed it a lot and it was one of the things that kept me calm through out the hell that I lived.

Once I noticed that my design book wasn't anywhere to be found, I began to freak out...then I remembered that Cole has it and it's the whole reason I came over here, other than moving in with him. I have only seen him a couple of times, so why do I trust him so much already?

I walked out of the room and went to look for Cole. On my little adventure, I bumped into someone. Before I could say 'sorry' or are you okay?', they left. All I saw was their back as they ran away. It seemed to be a young boy with short green hair. Did he dye his hair?!?! He seems so young for that to be plausible! Midnight! Get. Back. On. Track. Your design book is still with Cole! Right!

I commenced my adventure once again, to find Cole who had my design book held captive.

" Midnight, why are you walking around the place aimlessly? Did you need something?" I heard from behind me. I turned around and saw Cole stand there with his arms crossed and a smug look on his face. I don't know why he has that smug look on his face, but his eyes are making me nervous and I feel my cheeks burning up.

" I-I need my design book back please. You haven't given it back to me yet and I'm here to retrieve it." I said stumbling in the beginning out of nervousness. His eyes looked as if he can see right through my soul and it was nerve wracking. 

" Oh, right! I forgot all about it for a second. It's in my office. You know what? You should come with me to retrieve it." He said. I looked at him confused.

" Why?" I asked. He gave a small chuckle.

" Because you will be working with me in that same room silly. You are my new assistant." He said and I blushed in embarrassment, forgetting that we came to that conclusion.

" R-Right! Okay you lead the way and I'll follow." I said to him with a smile on my lips.

I followed him down halls and made so many turns...I'm definitely going to get lost if Cole isn't around to show me where to go or I don't have a map of this place.

" We are here! This is where you will be working. That right over there is your office and the one we are in now, is my office. I'll be only a door away whenever you need me. Any questions?" He said. I looked at him with a blank expression.

" Will I have to come here everyday at a specific time period? Do you know that I will get lost in this damn castle-like mansion? Seriously. Do you have a map that I can use? I found myself getting lost after the first few turns." I stated and he laughed.

" I'm gonna have to make you a very detailed map then. We haven't even went up the stair or go down the stairs to the lower levels. Yes you will be coming straight here at certain times for certain days. There will be some days where you will be free from your work and can go outside or play in the 'castle-like mansion'. There are a lot of activities in the manor so, feel free to take a walk and find them yourself. Just don't go to my office during those days. If you do, there will be consequences and I really don't want to harm you so stay out of the way during those days. I will sometimes have off days and will tell you to leave. Do NOT look for me at all when that happens, alright?" He said, while his eyes darkened and I felt a very dark aura come from him. I gulped and nodded my head to tell him that I understood.

" Another question. Will I be allowed to go to school or will it be better to stay inside and hide, pretending that I am dead?" I asked him. He looked at me and his eyes brightened up.

" That is for you to decide. Do you want to keep going to school or do you want to fully work for me?" He asked me. I want to go to school, but I know that isn't the best option for me. I lived near a forest and be burning down my house probably caused a forest fire and well...the police probably went to check it out and found the recording of NIGHTMARE that I did. I don't want them to come ask me questions so I'd better pretend I'm dead.

" Although school is very important for me, I believe the best course of action for me to take is to play dead or a runaway. The reason I say this is because I stupidly recorded myself saying some stupid shit about how I killed them but gave myself the name NIGHTMARE and said that I was gonna kill myself-well Midnight, next." I said sheepishly and looked down at the floor. I felt him look at me and then heard him full out laugh. I slowly looked up and saw a wide smile on his face as he was bursting out laughing. This made me giggle a bit. He looked so handsome with a smile on his face...wait a minute! HE HAS DIMPLES?!?!? AHHHHHH!!!!!

" Guess you will be working for me a lot more than expected." He said in a teasing manner. He put his hand on my shoulder and cleared his throat.

" Now...I'm going to take you back to your room and them I will call you tomorrow with a map for the manor in hand so you don't get lost, okay?" He said. I nodded with a slight blush that was spread over my cheeks.

First day. It's barely the first day!
