Melt My Heart to Stone

Melt My Heart to Stone-Chapter 1

The following Monday after school I went outside to see a limo waiting at the front of the school. A person stepped out of the limo and approached me while I stood frozen.

“Xander?”  the person questioned. I nodded, wordless. The person looked at me in pity for a moment before putting a hand on my back and leading me towards the limo. Whispers broke out around me and I looked around, trying to ignore the words being said around me.

The hand pressed against my back a little harder and I turned my attention to the man that was now leading me towards the limo.

“My name is Mischka,” he introduced himself once he had my attention, “I’m going to be taking care of all your needs from now on, if you have any problems or need anything then come to me.”

I nodded dumbly and he opened the limo door, gesturing me to get in. I got into the limo and he shut the door behind me, cutting off all sound. I sat still for a moment before moving to the middle seat and buckling my seat belt.

Mischka’s voice crackled over the speaker, “Can you hear me, Xander? May I call you Xander?”

“Yes to both,” I answered.

“Okay, Xander. We’re going to the commander’s house and there are a few things you should know. You will be there for a minimum of three months and during this time you will be trained. You must do your best not to disappoint or anger the commander, Xander. Those that do so are punished swiftly and harshly so try your hardest not to. I will be around should you need me. I also have a package to give you when we get there.”

The limo soon slowed to a stop in front of the gates to a huge mansion. The gates opened and the limo made it’s way to a huge garage before parking.

Mischka made his way to the back with a bag in his hand and opened the door, sliding in and sitting beside me. He upturned the contents of the bag on the seat and showed me a cell phone.

“This is your new cell phone,” he said showing me the iphone, “The commander is on speed dial number one and I’m on speed dial number two. There is more stuff to give you later but this is the most important one right now. You are to keep it with you at all times. Do you understand?”

I nodded.

Mischka continued, “Okay, I’m going to bring you to the commander’s room and get you something to eat. You are to eat and wait there for the commander. Do not do anything else. The commander should be there shortly. On another day I will bring you on a tour of the house.”

I nodded and we both got out of the car. He handed the phone to me and I stuck it in the pocket of my scruffy jeans. We went up the elevator and down a hall, a couple of lefts, a few rights and I was lost. Mischka finally stopped in front of a set of heavy doors. He opened them and I stepped into the room.

“Wait in here,” he told me, “I’ll bring up some food soon.”

I nodded absently and as he left the room I looked around the new place I’d be staying, it was huge. The walls were painted a dark teal and one had floor to ceiling windows covered by black, heavy curtains. A thick, luxurious, black carpet that my toes sank into and curled in covered the floor. On the wall beside the window was a huge bed with black covers with cayenne colored sheets underneath, beside the bed was a door and a couple of red and black lazy boy chairs. Across from the bed on the wall there was a simple elegant clock displaying the time, underneath the clock there was mocha colored desk with an iMac sitting on top of it along with a printer. Next to the desk but mounted into the wall was a flat screen television and to the left of the television was another door. The last wall had the entrance I had just used to come in.

I walked over to the door beside the bed and opened it, inside there was a black and white marble bathroom. One wall was covered by an entire sink, above the sink was mirrors and behind the mirrors were neat spaces with toothpaste, a straight razor, shaving gel, hair ties, toothbrushes, lotion, rubbing alcohol etc. on them. Underneath the sink was toilet paper, a plunger, a toilet brush, and cleaning supplies. On the wall beside the sink there was a toilet. On the wall across from the sink was a tiled shower big enough to hold four people, there was body wash, soaps, loofahs, washcloths and everything else one could possibly need on a shower shelf. Beside the shower was a huge bathtub that could hold ten people comfortably.

I walked back through the door, closing it behind me and crossed the room to the other door. Inside was a walk in closet. There were tons of shelves and racks holding shoes and other items, one rack in the closet was free of clothes. I walked back out, also closing this door and sat on one of the chairs. A couple of minutes after I sat down Mischka came back into the room with a tray of food in his hands. He walked over to me and placed the tray on my lap. I looked down at the food, there was chicken Alfredo on the plate along with some corn on the side and some juice in a cup. I looked at Mischka and asked, “Did you eat yet?”

Mischka shook his head, “No, I’m going to go downstairs right now and get something. I will see you later.” He walked to the door and left.

I dug into my food and was soon finished and looked up at the clock to see what time it was, an hour had passed since I came in here.

The room was completely silent and I paced, suddenly nervous before going to a chair and dozing off.

When I woke up again another hour had passed and I looked around, still no August. I opened the room’s door and looked around me, no one was in the hallway. I left the room door open to find my way back and started to wander.
