CHAPTER 2
With a soft click of the switch, all the lights of the hall turned on. "At least the lights work," Ohno sighed with relief and looked with interest at the spacious hall with chessboard-pattern marble floor in front of him. The first thing that caught his attention was the big, white marble staircase which led to the upper floor, in the far side of the room. There were two sturdy-looking, wooden doors, one on each side of the room, and beside the staircase he could glimpse the beginning of a corridor in darkness, almost hidden by a dusty curtain. The vacant expressions of the unknown people of the portraits that covered the walls and the sheet-covered furniture definitely gave the hall a strong eerie feeling.
"First, I've to find a room to spend the night.," he decided looking at his old suitcases, "Besides, I should check if lights work and windows are closed... I wonder if there is water available..."
"I suppose bedrooms will be upstairs," he tiredly went up the staircase carrying his suitcases. "The long travel has worn me out," he yawned. In the upper floor he found a long corridor with doors on each side. He left his bags on the floor and tentatively tried to open the nearest one. It led to a cold room with light-green upholstered walls. The dark-green velvet curtains were softly moving swung by the cold wind that entered through the open balcony. "A very elegant bedroom," he thought closing the balcony's door, "I wonder how many days this door has been opened."
Behind the second door he found a spacious library with heavy, red velvet curtains. Ohno looked astonished at the mahogany bookcases full of large, dust-covered volumes. "What an incredible room!" he whispered with amazement touching lightly the soft spine of the nearest book.
Still amazed, he left the library and opened the door of the next room. This time it was a huge bathroom decorated with lavender ceramic tiles and pink marble. On the far side of the bathroom, behind a light-pink curtain, there was a big, marble bath with shower. The water began to run after Ohno turned the silver tap on to check if hot and cold water was available. "It's a relief to know I'll be able to take a shower without problems," he thought, "I suppose my great-grandfather's lawyer put someone in charge to make the manor habitable before my arrival."
Just when he put his hand on the next door's knob, Ohno noticed a sudden heavy atmosphere -like the air full of ozone before a storm- impregnating the corridor. He frowned a bit dazed and tried to open the door, but he couldn't do it. "Why is it closed?" Ohno struggled with the keys the lawyer had given him, trying one each time, but he didn't succeed. "Well, I'll deal with it tomorrow," he thought shaking his head.
The rest of the doors led to other bedrooms decorated in different colours. The young man decided to stay in a blue decorated bedroom situated at the very end of the corridor. "I hope there are some clean sheets inside that wardrobe," he thought with hope going towards the oak wardrobe of the room. Inside he found some old sheets with a faint smell of lavender which he used to make the bed.
His stomach grumbled reminding him that he hadn't had dinner yet, so he went down the staircase and decided to explore the other rooms in search of the kitchen. Behind one of the hall's door he had seen when he entered the house, he found a spacious dinning room with a big oak wooden table for twelve people. The other door led to an elegant sitting room full of big couches, armchairs and some chairs around a mahogany table.
"Then, I suppose I'll find the kitchen if I follow that corridor," he turned on the lights and went through the corridor looking interested at the paintings on the walls. At the end he could see two doors. One of them was closed, but it opened easily when he used the keys. "Possibly it's some kind of basement or cellar," he thought looking at the stair leading down. The other door led to a spacious kitchen, full of cupboards, wooden shelves and with a big oak table situated in the centre of the room. Ohno smiled happily and began to open the cupboards searching for something edible.
He had been looking for food without success for a few minutes when he noticed again that strange heaviness in the air. This time it was more like a feeling of anticipation with a slight amount of mischief. Suddenly, he heard the sound of something made of glass smashing into the kitchen's floor. He slowly got his head out of the cupboard where he was searching for some canned food and noticed a broken bottle on the dirty floor.
Sighing tiredly, he took a broom out of the little closet situated in a corner of the kitchen and began to sweep the sharp shards.
"There isn't anything edible in the entire house!... I should have insisted on stopping for dinner before arriving. First thing in the morning I'm going to buy something to eat in the near village," he mumbled throwing the dirty shards into the garbage bin.
Ohno left the kitchen dragging his feet. Seconds later, he heard his stomach grumbling again, louder this time.

Nino was rather upset. First, the intruder had tried to barge into HIS room, which he had prevented, of course. And then, he barely reacted when the bottle smashed into the kitchen's floor. "He didn't even wondered why it fell," he snorted with disdain. "Well, it doesn't matter... At midnight, a much more interesting show than a few broken bottles will begin," Nino chuckled evilly.
