Behind the Mask

Consequences to actions (Part 1)

"Up and down...up and down..." Mary could feel the ponderous walking motions with every of the men's steps as he carried her through the mansion. Although the blonde girl had not been fond about the person carrying her, being the bull-like man who had pushed her to the floor a little earlier that evening, in the end it turned out to come with some perks, since the wide shoulders were quite befitting for carrying Mary's, in comparison, much smaller body. Even though Mary wasn't able to see anything, after having entered the mansion, she nevertheless was overwhelmed with a completely unfamiliar atmosphere in which all of her other senses were stimulated.

 By the sounds of the steps, Mary could tell that they were walking on some sort of hard floor which most likely, supposing that Mary's understanding of architecture wasn't completely distorted ,belonged to the living room. However the steps were not echoing in the slightest, letting the blonde girl presume that whatever room they were in, was filled with many furnishings given that it would be muffling the echo. Mary took a deep breath of the mansion's air, which in contrast to the night air was quite different. The moment Mary had entered the mansion, without being in need of walking in herself, she had been hit with a wave of warmth which felt exactly like entering a warm shop after having been outside in the cold for seemingly forever. Nevertheless, the air itself was surprisingly fresh and it smelled strongly like lavender.

 "Who would make such a big gamble in their own house?" wondered Mary slightly disturbed as it just let it seem very unprofessional. Mary kept perceiving the atmosphere around her for another moment and tried to make herself an image of her surroundings. By using the information conveyed by her viable senses, all while recalling in her mind the general but still very impressive outer structure of the mansion she had already been able to behold from the car, Mary was able to construct quite the detailed image in her head, by filling the gaps with rich people stereotypes she had come across on the Internet over the years. "I won't stay a second longer than necessary..." decided Mary determined as a shiver went down her spine. Although Individually everything seemed to please Mary's senses, in total Mary' entire tied up body agreed without the tiniest amount of doubt, there was something very unnerving about the whole mansion.

 There was something very unwelcoming about the general atmosphere and Mary felt like she was a small fish, swimming over a bottomless ravine. "I wonder what gamble it will be...something tells me it's going to be messed up." Immediately after having entered the building, Mary had gotten much more tense and attentive as she felt the menacing gamble getting closer. The abducted girl was facing the opposite direction of the men caring her and although the bull-like man most definitely had enough strength, the blonde girl didn't trust him at all and felt like she could fall off at any moment. In any other situation Mary most likely would have started feeling afraid or panicked and most definitely would have gotten frustrated. However Mary remained completely nonchalant and didn't struggle in the slightest as there was a specific reason for that. Mary slowly lifted her head as much as possible and looked directly forward.

 Notwithstanding the fact that Mary couldn't see anything, she still was able to clearly hear faint steps following behind her. "At least Ririka is with me this time..." 

Mary's body at once relaxed a little as she listened to the whitehaired girl who was walking in her black socks over the flooring. Ririka in fact was so close behind Mary that the blonde girl could hear the breathing through the white mask. Although Mary still had no clue what the gamble was about, Ririka being that close by and watching over the blonde girl felt implausibly comforting. Mary stared directly at Ririka as if the blind wasn't even there. The girl pursuing the two wasn't saying anything and didn't react in any way either, since she had her emotion killing mask on. All of a sudden Mary could hear the demon masked man clear his throat before the small up and down movements became much more impactfull. Mary's eyes widened as her whole body descended without any warning downwards.
