The tunnel was pitch black. There was no way to see the end of it, but Vivian wanted to go explore this newly-found passageway, even though every instinct was telling her to turn back. Curiosity won out, so she took a few cautious steps inside, the sound of her footsteps echoing back to her. I got a bad feeling about this place, she thought. Officially creeped out, she ran out of the tunnel, down the hall, and stopped at the nearest corner.

Stefan looked for Vee and Jax but couldn't find them. He was happy that Vee finally managed to tolerate a relationship. He thought that what happened with Hunter years ago had broken her, but this pair is weird like that. No matter what happens, they can't seem to not be friends. But each one of them now is spending time with their lover, that it's kind of ironic since they're the sworn bachelors. He found himself taking some kind of underground passageway. It looks like it hasn't been used in years, well that'll come in handy if they ever need a hiding place, or secret escape.

He found a tiny room at one end full of dusty boxes that seem about ready to collapse. He sat on one of the broken chairs looking around. So much has gone around in this mansion. Many have learned, grown, fell in love, had fun, made friends and had a family. It's weird to think that one place has almost seem it all. "So what do you think Imperious? Is Quin and I ever gonna work?" He asked the walls. The house feels it's residents, that's why strangers has to be invited in. "Have you seen a couple like us before?" He didn't know if it's gonna work, but he does know he's crazy about that boy. And it's not even logical. "You're one damn old house, you must have an idea". He did realize he was taking to space but it was nice to be alone for a while.
