Girl and the Dark Castle – chapter 15

Chapter 15 – Boardroom

One of the large men led her through parts of the castle she had never been in. The other man closed on her heels. The longer they walked the more her mind figured out she was in trouble. Fuck, did Lacy go tell what happened? Did someone else see? What is going to happen to her?

After a few minutes of walking, which felt like hours to her, they came to two large silver doors. The man in the front knocked. From behind the door a man told them to enter. The doors that looked very heavy swung open with ease. The large man then motioned for her to enter the room.

The room was bright. The furniture is more modern than the rest of the castle. The stone walls were cleaned to make them look lighter. Paintings of bright colors hung on the walls. In the corner facing one of them was a man. “Thanks boys. You may leave,” he said in a commanding voice.

The large man bowed, stepped back and closed the door, leaving her alone with him. They both stood there in silence. She shifted from one foot to the other. Her nerves are building. Who is this man? What is he going to do? Where is Sir? Finally he turned to face her.

He was one the shorter side, maybe five feet four inches, but he held himself way bigger. He was dressed in a silver suit. A dark silver shirt under a thin black tie. Black wing tip shoe completed his look. His black hair slicked back. “My sweet girl. You have caused a lot of trouble since you came to our castle. It seems you have taken our Master’s generosity and made a complete farce of it. But before we get into that let me introduce myself, my name is Mr. Wolf. I don’t have a title, but I’m the head of problem solving here.” She became more and more nervous as he spoke. Each word he came close to her. “And you have been a big problem if I was to believe what some are saying. In a moment you will be brought in front of the Nine.
