The Void

"If I may ask, where am I? Who are you?" I simply asked them. They looked at each other with great confusion. The same confusion I had shown when I heard them speak. They looked back to me and the eldest spoke.

"You've must have hit your head harder than we have thou-"

"Oh put a sock in it Sebrina." Remi says as she interrupted her. I was relieved when she spoke up, but I couldn't help think that this was just a coincidence.

Later on in the day, I was pacing about the room, wanting to leave so desperately. The women wouldn't let me leave. They say I would be too much of a distraction. But I have a feeling they are hiding something from me. This worried me even more. I wanted to explore! Look around, but I feel trapped as I stayed cooped up in the room I was staying in. What really has my curiosity is how much they look and act like my brothers. The resemblance is incredible, I figured once they had gone to bed I'd go out and explore the area. Make a map even.

Looking around as I paced about, I studied the colors, tints, even the shades of the little space. The walls have a rusted sunset orange wallpaper. The floor was white marble with specks of black and gray in them. The doors that lead out to the hall were cherry maple wood. The wood shinned from the polish. Looking to my left, as I was standing in the center of the room with the bed to my back and the door in front of me, I saw two giant windows. The glass sparkled like wet clear crystals. The cherry maple wood shutters were cracked ajar as a light cool breeze slipped through and into the room.

A small smile crept onto my face as I took it all in. This....may not be too bad after all. I mean I have some peace to work. No fighting on tour. No brothers trying to constantly kill each other. Just....quiet peace. Realizing this brings me to a bittersweet feeling. I love my older brothers, I really do. But sometimes I just need some time to myself. To get away from them. And now, I miss them. 

Sighing, I went to the windows and looked out into the city below. The streets buzzed with people and horse-drawn carriages. The buildings were almost touching with how close they were to each other. Shops were populated with customers. Dressed in all kinds of Victorian styles and colors of all shades, hues, and tints. it was easy to tell the wealthy from the common people. Even still, both were beautiful in their own right. Sighing once again, I turned away from the window as I studied the room for any details I had missed.

I passed the time sketching. Something to keep me busy at least. Though I paused when I heard a sound echoing in the hall outside. I turned my head to the door as the sound grew into being footsteps. Not a moment later, I see Remi enter with a tray. Curious, I raised a brow faintly at this. She sported a smile and has a twinkle of mischief in her brown eyes. "Here you need to eat. You must be starving after being asleep for three days." my eyes widened upon hearing this.

"Three days? How? That's impossible!" I say in pure disbelief. That's impossible I only just got here... I think to myself as she chuckles.

"Well, it's true whether you believe me or not. Now eat up and then get dressed." she said in a slightly authoritative tone.

"Why?"

"We are going into town. You need better clothes rather than a nightgown Mr....what's your name?" she then asked me. I blinked and thought faintly.

"Barrett." was all I said and she nodded. She continued to talk to me as I ate, though having to disappear when her sister called for her. Watching her go I finished my meal. Not long after, an uneasy feeling crept into the room. I then quickly went to get dressed.

Three hours later, Remi and I were roaming the streets looking for a shop to enter. I see an art shop and looked for a way to get away from her. Might not be the smartest idea but I doubt she would want to go there. Turns out, I was wrong. She saw where I was looking and smiled. She quickly grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the shop. Clearly excited. I couldn't help but chuckle at her excitement. Faintly reminded me of Remington.
