Ashton herded the rest of the kids upstairs. They had been instructed to not stay in one room, they could spread out, but none of them had actually ever slept apart so they paired and tripled off to find rooms. The three Blackthorn girls sharing a room, Liv, Sophia and Emma took a aroom, Jackson and Noah yet another, and Ashton was with Liam. Liam was feeling a little guilty about Iz and Ava. Ashton sat down next to him and hummed a soft tune and helped Liam feel a little better. He didn't want to push it too much least someone tattle on him. Last thing he wanted was Nox pissed at him.
A voice sounded from somewhere in the room "Ashton, your presence is requested on the main floor. You have guests."
Both Ashton and Liam jumped at the sound of the voice. "Who are you?"
"I am Sky, an automated house system that is here for the residents of this establishment."
Liam's eyes went wide and Ashton just blinked and then leaned over to whisper. "It's a smart house?"
Liam shugged. "But you should get down stairs."
"Who's calling on me. No one knows I'm here."
Liam shrugged again and Ashton sighed and went down stairs. This is such a strange place, he thought to himself. What did Nox do for a living? How could he even afford any of this?
Down stairs was packed, so many people. He looked around for anyone who might be looking for him from the stairs. Nox was dancing with Lily, people were gathered at the island eating, the hacker kid was on the couch with another boy. Two girls were sitting on the floor eat. He wondered who was looking for him no one seemed expectant.
