this?” An amused grin formed on his face. "Don't worry! It won't hurt! It'll be over soon!"
I feel myself getting dizzy. With the last of my strength I try to steal it from me. But without success. His grip is just too strong. When I think it can't be worse, this pig picks me up. I don't feel the ground under my feet anymore. The image in front of me is becoming more and more blurred. I could hear a rustling in my ears.Out of control, I began to tremble, which Boris did not miss of course.
"Well? Are we scared?" His sadistic grin widened.
"Enough, Boris! Let go of him! He can't help it either." The cold voice of my grandfather brought me back to reality. With a dull and painful thud, I fell out of the ground. I quickly gasped for air. What have I done to him again, damn it? Because Boris really had x1000 reasons to give me hell.
"Heet! Bring Kai to his room! And he should stay there for the rest of the day!" With these words my grandfather left. Great! Now I can stare at my ceiling for the rest of the day. A walk around the building was better than that.
After recovering somewhat, I got up. Heet was already standing next to me. I walked past him without comment. I can find my room myself. I felt the butler follow me. He just can't help getting annoyed.I walked generously up the stairs, followed closely by the clerk. My pace accelerated until I got to the door of my room. She was not to be missed. Each of the doors was several meters high, but each had a different sign. It was easy to tell them apart. A large phoenix was carved in the wood of my door. Wasn't to be expected otherwise.
I quickly opened it to shake off my uninvited companion. He was forbidden to go into my room without permission. In the room I first fell on the bed. With my hand I traced the places where Boris fingers were five minutes ago. For a moment I really thought he was bringing me down. He doesn't have that much courage, though. He knows he still needs me ...

I've been lying here for five hours, staring at the wall above. I also dozed off once or twice, but it didn't last long. Again and again something was disturbing my sleep.There was a soft knock on my door. A small smile crossed my lips. I already knew who it was. Only my sister could knock so uncertainly. With a "Herrein." I asked her inside. It took the little one a little to open the large wooden door and close it again. I looked up.
Miusa stood right next to the door and looked at me with her innocent and loving eyes. As always, she had her little cat, Roll, with her. Without it she hardly takes a step. Back when I was exercising in the mountains, I found the kitten. Knowing that Miusa always wanted a pet, I just brought her with me. Of course my sister was happy. Since then they have been inseparable.
Smiling, she came up to me and sat on the edge of my bed. "You, Kai? Is it true that Grandpa is going to America? Because Heet told me. If that's true, can I invite Gina? You know that Grandpa doesn't like it when someone visits me.I promise to be good too! ... "
"Calm down, Miusa! He's going for a whole week. You still have enough time to plan everything!" Funny! She's the only one I can talk to normally. When I talk to her, my voice sounds completely different. In fact, she's the only one to whom I confide my feelings. I know she doesn't say anything more. Sometimes she also has very good advice. You would never expect this from a 10 year old. My sister is very talkative. She can talk like a waterfall without even pausing. Sometimes I really wonder. But she is still something special in my life. Maybe the only thing that keeps me alive ...
"Have you heard? They wanted to break into our house last night. But Rio and his friends bravely guarded and defended the property. This morning I also gave them a few treats as a reward. Oh yes, and have a girl caught them too.She is also said to have participated in the crime. She's down in the dungeon. I would have liked to visit her, but Heet said I shouldn't do that. It's a shame actually! Stimts roll! "With that she picked up her little cat, who read a purr from you." She would certainly have been happy about a little visit! Because it's awful when you have no one to talk to! "
This girl is amazing. With what ease she talked about these things. Sometimes I think we don't come from the same family.
"Heet is right! It might be better if she stays alone for a while and thinks about her taht."
"But when Grandpa is gone, we can visit her, right?" Miusa looked at me with expectant eyes.
"All right! But only briefly." Of course I couldn't refuse her wish. I was also interested in this girl. It's amazing that she was able to break into the property. Getting over the fence alone is not an easy task.My grandfather arranged this himself. She was definitely not alone. Because without help you can't even get near the house.
“Great!” She turned to her cat. "What do you think, Roll? Does she prefer vegetable casserole, caviar or suchi?"
“I don't think she's ever eaten anything like this, Miusa!” Somehow my sister is very naive. My grandfather didn't take her as hard as I did, though. She only knows one side of life. It doesn't know how unfair it can be and it almost destroys you. I am very grateful for that. It is enough if she gradually learns what is really going on in the world. So it's not as painful for her as it is for me.
According to my grandfather, she is to become a managing director. She has to study for at least eight hours every day. Quite a lot for a young child. But Miusa doesn't show anything. Only sometimes does she come into my room crying because she can no longer and would like to give up everything.Grandfather takes it very hard in that regard. Every year she gets a new teacher who introduces her to business life. She never learns with others. You can tell by looking at her that she doesn't play with other children. Most of the time she stays out of the company and talks to me or to her cat. She has few friends because grandfather forbids her to do so. Only now and then do my grandfather's business partners come and bring their children with them. There she gets to know some children who, however, quickly disappear again. So she doesn't know what friendship means.
From the beginning she was treated differently from me. She knows the beautiful and good sides of life, which I cannot say. But it's enough for me to see her happy. Because who she is, I can fire myself too.

My grandfather is getting into his car. With a serious expression he looks at us one last time before he closes the car door behind him.Next to me, see my little sister, and hold my hand. She happily waves after the vehicle that is leaving the property. Not a single "bye" or "hello". Would be even nicer!
Not far from us, see Heet. His eyes also follow the car to the gate, and then turn to us. He steps away with a slight bow. Apparently he goes into the kitchen to check everything. Since he is supposed to take care of us, this is also part of his job. Sometimes I feel like a little child that you don't take a second out of your eyes. Because everything in this house is strictly guarded. All of our movements are recorded on tape, which after a while is quite nerdy. But it doesn't matter either. Now I can do what I want.
I was about to turn around when Miusa shakes my hand. "Are we going to visit the girl now?"
She can't wait for it. As soon as grandfather sets foot out of the house, she has to come up with another nonsense."Don't you think it's a little early for that?" I asked her the counter-question. But she shook her head hastily.
"Please, Kai! She's been down there alone for a whole day and has no one to look after her. We can't let that happen!" I sigh.
"Well, well. We'll go down to her after lunch." I finally give up. I can't even refuse her this wish.
“Great!” With a jump in the air, she goes into the house. I slowly follow her and close the huge front door behind me. Now we were alone in the house, apart from the employees.
I look at the big clock hanging on the wall in front of me. 8:23. We still have a lot of time. I briefly think about what to do. I didn't want to go to my room because yesterday's sentence was enough for me. And I still had time for the taning because my team doesn't come until two o'clock.
Bored, my gaze wanders along the entrance hall. The floor is covered with dark marble stones, and two long stairs lead to the second floor on the side.Its steps were dark too, and the frame was made of wood painted black. So all in all it's pretty gloomy. The only source of light was the Krohn chandelier that hung over me at a height of four meters. All around the wall you could see oil paintings of my ancestors.
My eyes wandered to a smaller door that, unlike the other doors in this house, was quite light and new. The door leads to the basement. I trained with my team down there. But from here you could also get to the dungeons and prisons that my grandfather had specially set up. Somewhere there had to be that girl Miusa always talked about.
My legs move in that direction as if by themselves. I stop in front of the light wood. Something inside of me says to go downstairs. So I push the doorknob down to get into the unlit stairwell. A long spiral staircase was to be found here, which led far down.I step on it resolutely and go downstairs. Only one or two torches hang on the walls so that I don't stumble immediately. After several steps I come to another door. I can already feel the unpleasant smell that penetrates my nose unhindered.
It's also not overly bright behind the door. Fortunately, there is a switch here for the light. When I press this I suddenly hear a low hum. I look around with interest. Long steel bars separated the dungeons from the corridor that led
