"What are you doing in here?" A female voice whispered behind her.

Cas jumped and turned around. A pretty, dark haired woman stood in the doorway. Jesus, what was it with guy and hiring only pretty ones? Was there anyone in this house, besides herself, that was average looking, or at the very least didn't look like they'd jumped out of a magazine center spread. Before Cas could answer that she was planning on hopping out of the window, the dark haired woman continued. "If Arturo finds out you've been in here he is going to flip, you need to change your clothes and have a shower. To get the smell off you. I have some clothes you can borrow. I hope he won't notice."

Cas found that she didn't mind if Arturo found out she'd been here. Why should she pacify him? He kidnapped her for crying out loud. Still, clean clothes would be nice. The woman looked like she was roughly the same dress size as Cas was so at least she wouldn't have to worry about ill fitting clothes. A scream echoed through the halls. Unless there were other men here, that was Arturo.

"It's okay just bad dreams," the woman said as she began leading Cas back through the house. So Arturo had nightmares. Judging by the woman's reaction, Cas was supposed to feel some degree of sympathy for the man. She didn't. Everyone had nightmares. "I know you've just got here and all but, you need to learn quick. The room you just went in don't go in there. Don't even mention to Arturo about it. Same for the attic. You want to avoid making him angry. He may seem strict but he can be a nice guy."

What was wrong with the people here? "Nice guy? It may have escaped your attention, but nice guys don't kidnap people."

They paused outside a room. "Wait here don't move" she begged rushing through the door, "Right please go and shower," she said on her return, handing Cas a bundle of clothes. "Quickly. Use the blue soap its more fragrant. I'll try and explain to you as best I can when you come out. Just hurry if Arturo wakes up before he's meant to he is more pissed than usual."

"If he's such a nice guy, why do you seem so afraid of him?"

The woman disappeared into the room behind the door. Cas sighed and took the clothes back to her room. She threw the bundle on the bed and changed into them. Screw taking the shower, she thought. If Arturo wanted to get mad at her, then he could get as mad as he liked. Maybe he would learn that not everyone here was going to bend over backwards to accommodate him. She slipped her dead mobile in her pocket and padded back downstairs, making a note to stay away from the room the dark haired woman had disappeared into. Guess it's time to explore this place properly, Cas thought. So far, it was the only way she could think of getting out of there.
