Hearing he was clearly following her made her think. Maybe he didn’t think she was weird, unlike all her sorority sisters. That made her slightly excited she had maybe found a new friend. [i]”Now now, don’t get too excited!”[/i] And with a quick shake of her head put her teeth down on her lower lip to keep her giggle suppressed. “Lady? Eh.. Thanks. I’ll be fine though.” Hayley then took a few steps down, looking at the man behind her for a second. “I don’t think we’ve met before? Eh.. What is your name?” Hayley then continued to walk down the stairs finally arriving in a dark and low basement. Though it was really dark, there were a few shelves filled with books places against the walls. They seemed specially made for this kind of place, so it must’ve been special to be here. When Hayley picked up one of the candles on the stairs, she noticed the floor was coated with dark red carpet, making their steps not noticeable anymore. And now that there was more light, Hayley spotted an old, wooden table filled in the midst of the room. There were two more doors to each side of the room, made out of the most beautiful wood ever: It had carvings of all kinds of strange creatures, and decorated with something that looked like diamonds or precious gems. They might have been fake, but they looked stunning to the eye. It almost looked like a royal family had taken shelter here. “What is this place?” Soon her eyes started to get used to the dark, though that did not prevent her from knocking down a few piles of books on the ground or a statue or two that she could save at the last moment. Fortunately, he could not see her red cheeks showing up.

“Hmm?”
