Aurora was definitely ready for bed by the time she was done with all the cleaning the head servant had instructed her to do. It was indeed very late but she supposed she should get used to it. With her still being in high school it was likely she would have to go to school during the day the come back to the mansion right after and clean, which would take until late at night, if not early morning before dawn. It would be a lot of work, and would leave her exhausted, but it was worth it if she could help her elderly father out while he recovered. It was the only thing a good daughter like herself could do. He was the only family she had left and vise versa. He supported her and took care of her for so long. Now it was her turn to do the same for him.

Walking up the stairs slowly, ready to go to her room so she could go to bed, she heard something that was strange to her. A growl. Pausing at the top of the stairs, she hesitantly followed the sound, down the hallway in the opposite direction of her room. She remembered being told something about the two children of the owners having a couple of dogs, so her first thought was that maybe the dogs had been closed up in a room by mistake. Slowly she took hold of the knob of the door she thought she heard the growl come from and carefully pushed the door open to see something that shocked her. The room before her was torn apart. The mattress was flipped from the bed, any sort of fabric in the room was ripped, pictures were torn from the walls, broken glass littered the floor, stuffing and feathers were all over the floor. And standing in the middle of it all, was a rather frightening looking man.

She looked at him with wide blue eyes that clearly showed her fear as she backed back from the door way quickly, backing right into the elderly female servant who had showed her around the mansion when she had first arrived. The woman quickly gripped Aurora's shoulder, moving her away from the sight and a few steps down the hall. As she was pushed from the door she swore she saw the boy flash animal like fangs. The servant, after getting her away from the doorway, moved back to the doorway, speaking briefly to the boy, "My greatest apologies. I hadn't had the chance to inform the girl of the rule concerning this hall way and your room. I will do so immediately. This will nrvet happen again." The servant shut the door, quickly leading the slightly shaken Aurora down the hall.
