Welcome to Gaia! ::

1798: Located on a small Island located well off the shore of Mainland Gaia a castle's lights can be seen. Screams can be heard from within comming from the near 80 servants of Lord Franklin. Drivven to near insanity from something within the castles walls Franklin goes from room to room mutalateing all of the servants in sight taking the servants and hanging them from the cielings and tearing out their innards. those who look into his eyes see nothing but lifeless dark orbs. Almost seeming as if there is no soul in this man. Many of the servants make a run for it and get to the castle roof and try to jump. All who jump off plummet several hundred feet to a watery grave while others are crushed on the rocks. When all are dead Franklin comming to his senses realizes what happened and begins to scream as he realizes it was his own hand that had done this. Although he could not figure out how it happened, he just knew he had done this. Something had driven him to this insanity. Tieing a rope to the main lounge roof and wrapping it around his head he jumps off the balcony over top the lounge and hangs.

1890: All that is left of this fine castle is the ropes that hange from the roofs and all that is left of the bodies is dust. Settlers from the mainland arive on the Island and realize that the exterior is quite beautiful and decide to inhabit it. Once inside it becomes quite curios to them that there are wisps of ropes hanging here and there, many of which are rotted away and scraggly looking. Finding this quite curious, they proceed in trying to clean it all up. five years down the line things start to become weird as the inhabitants begin to see tings unexplained. Feeling as theough they should leave, the new inhabitants pack up all their gear and leave. All that is left is the empty halls and the silent screams of the unknown.

Present day Gaia, The Castle's new owner is a man that goes by the nickname of demon. The last owners of the Castle Turned Vacation spot was the great great great great grandfather of demon. No one else in the family would venture out there saying it was a spooky place. Demon though saw the place as an excellent place for the communities of gaia to spend relaxing. He bought the old castle and made some improvements on the place such as adding new furniture to the rooms, a swimming pool, jacoozies in all the rooms along with a ball room, open bar, and a lobby. To make up for the fact that the only way out thee was by boat, demon bought several charter boats that would make trips to the island dropping people off there for as long as they wished to stay. With the doors open All of the visiting gaians (whoever wishes to stay) demon states "Welcome to Castle Franklin and please enjoy your stay. feel free to as for help if you can not find something. The Bar is open to all over 21 and we have all kinds of wiskeys, wines, domestics, imports, and mixed drinks. Feel free to help yourselves and make yourselves at home.

"Why I would be delighted if you would join my staff. With such a big place as this there is always need for more help. As far as maids go, I do not need any more. We already have a total of 20 of them that are full time. Ah yes I know. Would you be interested in being my personal assistant. With that, you will have access to one of the several master bedrooms of your choice Along with Access to your own speed boat if you need anything from the mainland. or is there something else you have in mind that you would life to do?

"You can have whatever room you want. I will see that whatever room you choose will be emaculate with all the best technology that is available here. " *while he is talk about old times, demon notices something odd. Demon is facing the door of the castle and notices a blob of transparent blackness in the upper right corner of the door. The minute he notices it disapears through the wall. Demon feels a light chill run up his body but decides it was nothing and continues talking. "I know its been a long time, and I am glad you came out on my invitation. I realy just wanted you to come out and relax, but I am extatic you want to work as my personal assistant.

Big arives at the castle franklin for a much needed vacation. walking up to the doors he opens them up and comes on in. looking around to see if anyone is there, he decides to go over to the bar for a drink and orders a wisky.

Jasmine is startled by the intrusion, but she quickly regains her tongue. "Wait!" she calls after him.

She scrambles out of the tub, and runs after him into the main room of the suite. Clad in only a skimpy towel and dripping on the carpet, she grabs his arm and turns him around to face her.

"I want to apologize for the way I left you. It wasn't my fault. My father found out about us, then when he found out...well, never mind about that. I want to start over. Please?"

"That's funny, I was going to say the same thing to you." Tears welled up in Jasmine's cerulean blue eyes. She looked up at Demon, the tears falling freely down her face.

"There is something else you should know. My father, well he..." she bit her lower lip, not knowing what Demons reaction would be, but still she felt he needed to know what had happened.

Jasmine lowered her eyes as she spoke. "My father took me away back to our home when he found out I had been sleeping with you. He didn't like you, thinking that you weren't good enough for his daughter. I hated him for it. I told him that, well," She took a deep breath, knowing that the next part was the hardest. "I was pregnant. My father blew a gasket. He forced me to get it aborted. I tried to resist, but he dragged me to his private doctor, and they had to strap me down. That was how much I resisted."

"When it was over, he took me back home and started to arrange a marriage for me to one of his friend's sons. I ran away and came to find you. When I got your note in my private mailbox about coming to work here, I was thrilled. It may be the one place my father will never find me. Thank you for giving me another chance Demon. I'll understand if you don't want me now after what I just told you."

Jasmine paused upon hearing strange noises. The hall sounded as though it had people moaning in it. She felt scared and jumped into Demon's arms. "What the heck was that?"

Jasmine blushed profusely as she reallized that she was still clad in only a towel.

Jasmine still continued to blush. They sat there and stared at each other. The chill in the air reminded her she was not properly dressed. She looked into Demons' eyes and saw passion there, passion she hadn't felt since the last time they were together.

Jasmine cleared her throat. "I should get dressed now I think. We have alot to talk about. I'm glad I came Demon." She reached over and kissed him lightly.
