not all questions can be answered

"This should be the address", Cherry said to herself. She was dressed casually on a blue jean trouser,white shirt and a black hoodie which she left unzipped, her light brown hair was packed in a bun and  she held a small bag which could only her phone could fit in with a pen and jotter on her other hand.

           She summoned courage as she pressed the door bell of the gate then waited a few minutes, she couldn't help but to use that time to admire the place. It was a huge mansion with a beautiful compound, it even had a fountain placed in the middle. It's huge compound was decorated with trees and flowers and we'll watered grass which seemed like it's colour would never fade. It's design seemed so old that someone could think it was a manor, maybe it was.

        After a few minutes passed a lady a black dress and a white apron walked over to the gate.

       "Miss Keller?" She said awaiting a response.

        "Yeah"

     "We usually don't get visitors, sir said he didn't expect you to come even after the invite.

      "Did she just refer to him as sir", Cherry said to herself before replying her.

          "Well, I'm here"

    "Please do come in", she said as she opened the gates for her to enter the manor, it was really quiet and even the birds seemed to cautiously chirp and whistle. They got to the building after a while of walking and she followed the lady inside the huge building which seemed unnaturally dark.

         "He's in the library, I'll take you there"

      They slowly walked deep into the building and Cherry silently admired the design of the house, it was decorated with many expensive and breakable looking items that made her walk very cautiously to prevent her from breaking anything. The portraits on the wall seemed way too expensive, maybe they would cost a hundred thousand dollars or more.

          They finally reached the library door and said to his hearing.

         "She's here sir"

  "Let her come in", the voice on the other side said and the lady slowly and quietly opened the door for her to go in.

        Inside the library Troy was sitting at the end of a really long table, he was holding a book and the table was already set with tea cups, tea pots and strawberry cream covered donuts, he obviously loved strawberry. She cautiously walked in and he invited her to sit next to him.

     " So miss Keller, why don't we get that interview started"

       " Don't call me that", Cherry said as she picked up her pen and jotter in other to start the questions, her phone was already recording their conversation.

       " You've been our school for two years and no one has ever seen your parents, are they in another city or something?"

          "They're dead", he said it quite easily and his tone seemed emotionless.

         "Are you telling me that law allowed you to inherit all this at an age of less than 18"

      "No, the property wasn't actually willed to me, it was willed to my  elder brother who decided to give it to me"

         "And you've been managing the property, how do you pay the maids?"

        "My brother does all the managements".

         Cherry scribbled something down as she moved to the next question.

       "So you've been known for your good looks even with your astonishing pale colour, what's your secret?"

      " A beauty God never reveals his secrets", she gave a sigh of defeat after hearing these words.

       "Fair enough"

   "Please help yourself with some donuts and tea"

         "I'm fine,thank you", she said ready to refuse it but he repeated himself and this time his voice sounded both commanding and terrifying that she found herself munching on two donuts at once and pouring herself a cup of tea. The cup seemed vintage and her hands trembled for fear of breaking it as she took a short sip and placed it back on the table.

       "Could you tell me what accounts for your inhumane strength and impressive speed you've exhibited", she continued.

            "I work out a lot"

    "You can't say the strength is due to work out, you've once stopped a truck from hitting a bus"

     "No I've not and you can't prove I have"

      Cherry pauses and stared at him for a moment then picked up her phone and pauses the recorder as she looked for a video in he phone.

       "As a matter of fact I can" she handed him the video and when he was done watching he handed her phone back to her and she continued recording the conversation.

       "Can you confirm that was you?"

                      "Yes"

       "Can you explain it?"

         "No, not all questions can be answered"

       " Why is it that you don't come to school every blood moon week"

       "It's quite a coincidence actually, I usually fall sick within that time"

       "I see", Cherry said as she rubbed the tip of  her pen on her chin, there was a mystery behind every answer he gave her.

       "You seem to be a fan of sunglasses, you're never seen out side with out them and you even play soccer with them, why?"

         "Yeah, my eyes have a sun allergy, I would be able to see properly without them"

     Cherry picked up the cup of tea and as she sipped it, she felt something crawl up her leg and she jerked causing the cup to fall off her hands and break, she held her mouth in chock as she turned towards Troy who was intensely starring at the broken pieces of the cup.

           "That's was my mother's"

       "I am so sorry Troy, how much was it maybe I could pay back", her voice was already trembling in fear as Troy handed her a napkin for her to clean the tea that spilled on her, the stain on her white shirt was still obvious so she zipped up her hoodie.

        "You couldn't pay up even if you tried, it's 50 thousand dollars"

        Cherry continued trembling, she had no money and no idea how she was going to pay him back such a huge amount of money.

       "I'm so sorry, I'll find a way to pay you back, I promise"

         "That wouldn't be necessary, I think I've answered enough questions for today, you have to leave now Miss Keller"

       Cherry immediately stood up as she heard those words, she didn't want to annoy Troy any further.

         "I'm sorry again Troy"

      "No problem", he said as he watched her Walk out of the room and gave a sigh of relief immediately the door slammed.

          "Thank goodness it worked" he said as a tiny black creature emerged from under the table, it had no hair on it and it seemed really skinny, it had a long tail with spikes at the end and huge red eyes. It niether poured nor barked but the sound it emitted seemed to be the more quiet version of the roaring sea. It jumped unto Troys palm and it seemed to be smiling at him while asking him to pet him and he used a finger to rub his head.

         "Thanks a lot chomp, that girl was almost about to cut one of my strings", he said as he gave another sigh.
