Harsh Secrets
C h a p t e r 3
When
everything was unpacked I went through the twists and
turns of the hall untill I found the grand staircase.
I went down and there was a closed door on the right.
I knocked lightly because I coudl hear voices. A
women in a maid uniform opened the door and a man who
may be the cook stood behind her. It toko them a
few seconds to long to place their fake smiles on,
"You must be the beautiful Jennifer that we have been
told about." The lady said.
"Umm.. yea thats me. Could you tell me where my
Aunt is?"
"I will show you to her office." The said closing
the door with the man still inside. I followed her
through what looked to be the parlor and then she
opened two stained glass doors. Kim was sitting
in a big chair behind her desk with her feet up and taking
on a cell phone it what sounded like French.
She smiled and waved at me and then waved off the
lady. I walked around the room and looked at the
pictures, The Eiffel Tower all lite up, The Statue of
Liberty and The Great Wall of China were just a few. She
was in a few but others seemed to be taken by her. It
must be amazing to see all of these beautiful places in
person. When she got off the phone she smiled,
"How about that grand tour now?" She asked
and I smiled and nodded. She led me through
the parlor, kitchen, various rooms, out to the
garden and the pool, and then showed me back to my room.
There alone she showed me the balcony that
I didn't notice. She told me to change
for dinner and then we could go to dinner. We would
meet in her office in an hour. I showered, striaghtened my
hair and got dressed. We met and went out to dinner
in a nice little cafe. It was nothing like I thought
Texas would be. When people from Maine think of Texas they
think cowboys and desert but it was not much like that at
all. I found out so much more about my aunt and her
job. She was 16 years younger then my father making her 29.
It was strange but unlike my father, she did not desert her
family. she still kept in touch with her parents and her
older sister and brother. My father was the oldest and
the day he graduated college was the last time any of
them heard from or saw him. Kim promised that she would let
me meet my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins which made
me nervous because what if they didn't like me because
they were mad at me father? When we got home I went
upstairs and got ready for bed. I was picking
out pajama's in the huge closet when I
slipped on a scarf that must have fell and hit the
floor. My foot hit a part of the wall and the wall moved. I
looked at the little square that had opened like a
door. I have always been one or adventure so i crawled
through. Soon I came to an opening and I sat up and
saw that it branched out about 8 or 9 different ways and
then there was a ladder going up. I climbed the
ladder and came to a door that swund out. I undid the
two locked and pushed it open. Cool air hit me and i
climbed out. I was on the roof now. I looked out and
it was beautiful. The lights from the
city but then it I turned there was nothing
exept stars as far as the eye could see. I stayed up their
fora while but became too cold so climbed back
down. I crawled back to the closet and closed the
door. I wonder if Aunt Kim knew about it, if so they why
didn't she tell me? I pulled a now empty suitcase in
front of it and slipped into bed.
