3-4 weeks later.

"You know I think i've been scammed."

That was my thought as I laid in my bed at home. Who am I you ask? Well i'm a regular guy named Frank. My day job is a indie video game developer, a very lucky one at that considering that I live in a Huge castle-like mansion out in northern West Virgina.

Oh yeah, I have money and with it I have Crippling loneliness to go with it. You see I learned a long time ago about the value of money and often dreamed as a kid of owning a place like this. Problem is I also quickly learned of the greed of man and how often people flock to those with money like leeches.

The end result was me a man who sat at the top of an island knowing that if he swam he would be consumed by those looking for money.

Honestly the only reason I responded to that email that led me to that strange online store was just out of boardem.

Thing is after I left the site I tried to go back and was met with a error screen.

Which leads me to my current thoughts about a month later.

I could only sigh at these thoughts as I tossed and turned in bed all the while looking all over my bedroom. It was clean for the most part, and still retained that rustic feeling as it was decorated with a bunch of nick, knacks I collected from traveling around the world the same could be said for the rest of the mansion really.

Though the mansion itself had retained a feeling of exploration as I had decorated it with many different things over the last 2 years.

I had several replica set's of medieval armor that I had placed in the mansion's study giving it classic medieval style to it. In the main foyer of the house which was the nexus of the house I had place a collection of different portrait's and even put up a large tiki totem I bought in the middle of the room to tie it all together. For the kitchen I had placed a bunch of sea faring nick knacks I got from my old home town in Florida.

the Dinning room was perhaps the most normal room in the house as it unused and filled with old colonial furniture I found and refurbished myself. the living room was also normal for the most part with a large tv on the mantle of the fireplace with a sunken sofa roundabout and a couple shelves holding a few awards and small statues ive gathered along with large printouts of landscapes.

Then there is the cellar or basement of the house, ive mainly left it bare for the most part. I do store wine and other spirts down there I both gotten from fans and from my travels. Thing is I don't really drink so I don't really have a reason to go down there, add to the fact it feels like a dungeon from a fantasy novel. You can easily imagine why I don't go down there.

I originally bought this place to get away from civilization. That I think was a mistake as it really only increased my feeling of loneliness. I really shouldn't complain I mean I have a good life, a nice home, and I'm financially well off. Then again it doesn't change the fact that I chose to close myself off from people.

Eh... what am I doing with my life.

Oh whatever I should just go back to sleep its like 1 in the morn-

*CRASH* *BANG* *THUMP*

What the hell!

I quickly sat up from my bed now fully awake and aware. I don't know what the hell that noise was, but im going to find out.

I move out of my room and start heading down stairs where I heard the noise originally come from and hear something again this time louder and clearer from the same direction.

*METALLIC CRASH**THUMP*

Now closer I could tell that whatever or whoever invaded my home is in the study and from the sounds of it their vandalizing the replica suits of armor.

As I creep closer to the room I could start hearing voice's not really able to pick up what was being said, but I could definitely hear the overall pitch and tones of the voice's. They were high to high to be a man's voice, so whoever broke into my home is more than likely female. The overall Tone I could hear was loud and rushed so they were either angry and arguing or scared and lost.

*THRASH**BANG*

That Sounded like another suit being destroyed, I began to increase my pace towards the study till I just outside of it.

I was now standing in front of studys entrance now I could hear the voice's clearly now. They Sounded like...?

No... NO... YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!
