Chapter 3 The taxi pulls up to this huge, white, house. "This is your stop," the taxi man tells them. Justin grabs the amount of money due from his wallet and gives it to the taxi driver. Emma and Justin get out of the car and both go to the trunk to get their luggage. Justin opens it up and pulls the suitcases out one by one. Once they shut the trunk, the taxi drives off. They lug their bags over to the front steps then struggle to get up the stairs. "This can't be happening," Emma mutters to herself as she tries to pull her suitcase up. Justin rings the doorbell and they both wait for their dad to answer. Emma's heart pounds quickly. She hasn't seen her dad in so long. After a minute or so the door swings open. Their mouths drop open when they see who's behind the door. It's just a woman in an apron holding a duster. "Sorry kids you can't borrow money. The accountant told us that we shouldn't just be giving out money. Sorry." The woman almost shuts the door, but Justin stops it with his foot. "We arn't here to borrow money. We are Mr. Stones, erm, kids," Justin tells her. "Oh," she says shocked, "come on in." She opens the door up wider and they try to drag all their luggage in. "Oh, kids, you don't have to do that, we have a person for that." "Oh, okay," Emma says quietly. They put their luggage down where it is. "Well Mr.Stone isn't currently here, but I'll show you to your rooms anyways." "Oh. Thanks." They both look around in amazement. They've never been in a house so big! "Mr. Damaro!" She shouts, "Please take their luggage to their room! Oh, and by the way, Mr.Damaro is the butler. They nod their heads. "Anyways you guys must be Emma and Justin." Yet again, they both nod their heads. "I'll show you kids to your room," she tells them. Emma frowns. She hates it when people call her a kid. The lady starts walking off and they both follow. She brings them to a long hallway. "You can pick any room you want." Emma looks down down the long hall of rooms. There's about 25 rooms! Emma starts walking down the hall and studies each room. She walks to the very end of the hall and opens the very last door up. There is a set of steps that she walks up. When she gets to the top, she immediately likes the room. It's painted rose red with a wooden floor. It has a queen sized bed with a rose red comforter, 7 pillows and a canopy. The room also has a wooden desk and dresser. The room is pretty well sized too and has three windows. One window in front of the desk, another next to the bed, and a small round window up near the ceiling. "This room is perfect," Emma whispers as she puts her backpack on the floor next to her bed. Emma always had a thing for old fashion rooms. Mr.Damaro comes in with her luggage and places it on the floor. "Good evening Miss Emma." Emma smiles and he walks off. She grabs her luggage and starts putting all her stuff away. After she's finished, she goes back down to the hall to check out Justin's bedroom. She makes her way down and enters this medium sized room. She walks straight in and finds Justin unpacking his stuff. "Cooool," she says as she studies his room. His room is sports themed. It has a baseball ceiling fan, a desk that looks like a basketball, and a closet with sport stickers on it. The room also has a really cool football bed. The bed comforter looks like a football field and the bedpost is a goalpost. "Isn't my room just perfect?!" Justin asks. "Yeah,"Emma says. She turns around and walks away. Emma heads back up to her room and lays on her bed. This is gonna be a long year.
