It had been a quiet drive down what he'd been told was a short cut. But as storm clouds started to form overhead the shortcut turned into an hour of trying to figure out where they were. As it started to rain and their gas was getting low the two were grateful for the sight of an old house. Seeing lights on meant someone was there. Hopefully they'd have a phone as they pulled up to the gate.
A young man with red hair hopped out of the passenger seat to open the gate while his companion pulled the car into the overgrown driveway. He wished he'd brought a jacket, but it had been a warm day when they'd headed out. This had lead him to believe a black t-shirt and jeans would be fine. He hurried up to the front porch as his companion finished parking the car.

"Is there anyone there?" His buddy Mark asked as he got the car parked and walked up the stairs to the door. He as wearing jeans, a basic white t shirt and a black zippy sweatshirt that wasn't helping cut the wind much.
The glow of candles.and firelight shone in the windows while others were showing the gentle glow of bulbs. "Maybe they can't hear?" Mark knocked on the door and it sloely.began to creak open.

"That's a little creepy." Lee said as he followed his friend inside. Closing the door behind them the house felt noticeably warmer compered to outside. "Hello?! Anyone hear?!" He called out as the front rooms were empty. Looking down the hallway under the stairs it was lit by the occasional overhead light while upstairs looked rather dark.

"Odd they would leave th fire going and not be home" Mark made notice. "Well follow the hall with the lights?" He suggested as he began to walk that way. He made not of the house. Whioe everything was old from the wood on the walls to the furniture it was all incredibly well taken care of.

"Surely a place this big has more than one person living in it." Lee said. As they walked down the hall they noticed strange signs on some of the doors. A few had words while others had pictures on them. The thing was all of them were rather confusing. "Age room? Gender room?...Is that one a playroom?" Lee asked as they passed a door with the image of a ball on it.

The pair looked around. "I wonder what these door signs are all about" Mark said. He looked down the hall and saw one marked "Weight Room". Something about it called to him. "Hey look at this" he called to his friend as he opened the door. The room was large and had a bed, desk, wardrobe, numerous shelves and chairs. "Thete is some workout stuff here" he pointed to a treadmill and old barbells "but I wouldn't call this a weight room"

"Agreed...Wonder if there's a reason for calling it that." He said, looking around curiously. "Maybe they have some clothes we can borrow and let our wet clothes dry." Lee said as he walked over to the wardrobe.

"Good call" Mark said as he opened up the wardrobe. "Wow,that's a lot of clothing" he said. It looked bigger when it was open and they found clothing of all sorts of sizes and styles. "Who has this much different clothing?" Mark asked grabbing a robe.

"I would think girls, or someone who is loaded." Lee said, grabbing a robe as well. Compared to his friend's robe Lee's looked big on him. Getting out of their wet clothes and into the robes the two hung their wet clothes over a couple chairs. "So should we just relax or see if that will summon someone?" Lee asked, noticing a small bell beside the bed.

"Yeah that's not a terrible idea" Mark said getting down to his boxers and putting his robe on. It felt good to be dry and he wanted wanted the side of the bed. He turned to see Lee taking off his wet garments.

Walking over to the bed after he was changed Lee sat on the opposite side. "This place isn't all that bad...Almost like some themed hotel."

"Yeah really I couldn't get used to staying here, of course assuming the owner isn't user that we just happened happened come in and borrow some robes." He turned to Lee. "Hey you feeling alright? Are you having an allergic reaction or something?" Mike asked unaware that Lee was plumping up to fit the robe he had chosen.

"Don't think so. I mean I've only ever been allergic to cats." Lee said as he looked to Mark. "Feeling hungry though."

"Okay" Mark shook it off but he was sure something was different about Lee. "Yeah I agree I could eat. Did you see any rooms with food on our way down the hall?" I wasn't too much but Less had gained 30 pounds to fit into the oversized robes.

"No...But maybe there's a kitchen further down the hall." Lee said. "Hopefully whoever lives here doesn't mind us helping ourselves." He said, feeling a little off as he got to his feet. Shaking it off as just being tired and wet he ignored it as he headed for the door.
