As we walk through the opulent entrance corridor, I am in awe of the houseâs beauty. High ceilings, original features, and bright white walls give off a sleek, clean appearance. The hall leads into a large welcoming room. The most enormous crystal chandelier I have ever seen is hanging above us. The sweeping staircase is covered in white and grey marble, making it look lustrous and grand. Evan leads us to the right, and we all follow in uncomfortable silence.
The further into the house we get, the darker the decor becomes, and our moods begin to match as well. With every step we take, each Doughty seems to change a little more. They all have rigid, straight postures, like someone has shoved a pole up their ass, and they have no choice but to stand tall. Yet, they donât hold their chin high. Instead, they are all looking towards the floor. The more I glance at Liam, I watch as his eyes glaze over, and itâs like I am watching them all turn into mindless zombies.
We reach a closed door, and Evan knocks twice, loud and firm, before returning his demeanour to match that of his family. As soon as Evanâs fist connects with the door for a second time, Liam gently pulls me behind him and lets go of my hand. I try to grab it again, but he doesnât let me. Finn takes a step towards us, and at first, I am worried. I havenât been able to read whether he is a danger like his older brother or a victim like his sweet mother. But as he stands side by side with Liam, both blocking me from the danger behind the door, I decide he maybe is a victim. Although, thereâs still a chance of him turning, I will need to remain vigilant around him.
I open my mouth to speak to Liam, mostly asking for his hand back as I need to feel his warmth and strength, but as soon as the first sound leaves my lips, both Liam and Finn turn and shoot me with the most evil stare I have ever seen. At that moment, they look like twins, with the same dark and dangerous eyes.
A loud booming voice with a heavy Irish lilt shouts through the door, breaking our staredown. âEnter!â
Evan opens the door, and one by one, we file into the large office. The feminine, lustrous white decor that fills the house is nowhere to be seen in this room. Instead, dark mahogany covers the walls, the bookshelves, and the large desk that takes up most of the room. Itâs dark and foreboding from the minute you enter the room.
Liamâs father, Desmond Doughty, sits behind the large desk, leaning backwards in his wide office chair. There is only one seat on this side of the desk, and I wait for Von to take it, but nobody does. Instead, Desmond stares at us all with large, dark eyes. Desmond looks good for his age, he is what some girls would refer to as a silver fox.
