1st Secrets

"Hello Seijun."
"W-Who is Seijun? Who are you?"
"You are Seijun Yuumei. Who I am is not important"
"But-"
"Listen. When you awoke yesterday you looked at the house you where in, then you dresses. You closed the window and then went to bed at one thirty-six AM. Correct?"
"H-how did..."
"Now. When you look at the clock it will read eleven ten AM. If you open the curtain over the window you will be able to see much more in the sunlight. If you look in the sketch book inside the dresser drawer you will see a key. With that key you can lock the door to the bathroom, and unlock the door connected to the bathroom. That door leads to a laundry room. You can also use it unlock the door next to the sofa that you didn't see last night. It leads outside. In the lighing you will also see a black bookshelf next to the wardrobe. It has many things you may read, and you may draw in the sketchbook. You may do whatever you want. However, I understand that you can tell if a human is coming near you. If a human does come anywhere near the house you must close any curtains you opened, and blow out all candles after locking the door. You are to sit on the bed and be silent. Once they're gone you are free again. There is a small stream surrounding the house. You are allowed to leave the house, but must not go outside of the stream. That is all you need to know. Goodbye Seijun."

At that moment the boy opened his eyes and sat up. He looked around and saw a dark red glow surrounding him. He crawled over to the edge of the bed and tied one end of the red silk canopy to the post before sliding out. He lit a candle and looked at the clock. Eleven ten AM. He walked to the window and opened the curtain. He looked next to him and saw a black book shelf filled with books. He opened the wardrobe and saw a pair of faded jeans, a white short sleeve hoody with black skulls and a fresh pair of underwear. He hung them on his arm and carried them to the bathroom, still holding the candle.

-Okay, okay! We promise we won't go!-

He saw that their where two more candles on the back of the toilet. He lit them also and set all three on the floor in spaced out areas. He pulled of the sweater, socks and his boxers and set them on the floor. He walked to the tub and turned on the water, then looked under the sink and found a towel. Once the tub was full he got in and wet his hair. He picked up the bottle of shampoo and ran the contents of it through his hair. He soaped a rag and washed himself. He got out, dried himself and dressed. As he brushed his short white hair he thought about his dream. What could it mean? Who was the voice talking to him? Why couldn't he see her?

-Good. Now, you have three minutes to talk to me. Then, leave me alone the rest of the week.-

He though about this as he blew out two of the candles and picked up the third. He walked out of the bathroom and examined the couch, the door to the kitchen and the door to the outside. He stood thinking about it for a moment before shaking his head and walking back to the bedside table. He set down he candle and opened the drawer. He opened the cover to the sketch book to find a key lying on the the front page. He picked it up along with the candle and headed back to the bathroom, leaving the drawer open.

-Understood. So why don't you want us to go there?-

He came back and re-lit the candles in the small room. He bit his lip as he put the key in the lock. He slowly turned the knob, and opened the door. When he walked in he found another candle on a small table. He set the first down on the floor and lit the second. He walked back to the bathroom, that was still filled with candle light, and picked up the clothing. He walked back and opened the lid of the washer, then put in the clothing. He set the water and load size then looked back to the table to see that there was laundry soap and dryer sheets under it. He let the washer start before blowing out the extra candle, picking up his original and leaving. He put the key in his jean pocket.

-That is none of your consern. Now one of you go tell the munchkin I'll finish kniting her purple scarf tonight if I can listen to Tokio Hotel.-

He then walked back to made the bed, set the sketch book and pencils on the bed and closed the drawer. He carried his candle to the kitchen and found three more candles. He lit all three and sput them in different parts of the room. There was a box of cheerios in the cubbord, milk in the refridgerator and glasses bowls and spoons in the cabinet. He sat on the counter and ate his breakfast. Then he walked to the sink and washed his dishes and put them back.

-I take it our three minutes is up, Sy?-

By this time the washer was finished and he put the outfit in the dryer. Then he came back and sat in front of the window to draw in the sketch book. He had a smile on his face from what he had learned the night before.
