Midnight Sun

Meeting Domonic

Alice's Pov

'The floor seemed alot comfyer than it was last night' I thought, as I began to awaken I noticed I was in a bed..not my bed..the sheets were lined with satin and silk and the pilows were made out of feathers, the matress seemed to mould to the shape of my thin figure which astounded me "wow" I mutterd as I touched the bed...

I must be in the castle, that was the only logic soltion I could come up with, I wasent scared the least bit..but I was worried about who lived here...what if their mean and horrible like my...parents

I guess I should take a look around then, I thought

I got out from he warm and cosy bed. I was also wearing a night gown..hey must of changed me too..just the thought of them seeing me naked gave me shivers of disgust and relentment, as I walked down long corriedoors everywhere I looked on the ground was a red carpet that seemed to go all around the house, there were also gargoils on the the west wing walls...

I seemed to find myself in a warm looking lounge, it was the most modern looking room in the whole castle, the walls were painted a pale orange and there were brown leather sofas that tied the room together, there was also an avregly large tv sitting in the middle of the canvas room, in either corner there were 2 shelfs full of books that had me smileing in wonder 

"Aheam" rumbled a voice from behind me, I jumped atleast 20 ft away from it "oh..im sorry to have disturbed you miss but the master has me on strict orders to 'baby sit' you" said a butler..wow..he must be rich too "what is your name flower?" he asked "Alice Smith.." I shyed away timidly "you have a pretty name my dear, an dhow old are you?" he asked "17 and 9 months" I said proudly, I was soon to turn an adult

"My name is Domonic, but most call me Nick, im 26 years old and im not a butler as you may think, I am one of the masters bestfriends, look sweetheart, I know your arfraid..I can...feel it per-say and you shouldent be, the master as his servents call him is a great guy" Nick smiled

"Was he the one that brought me here?" I asked and he nodded "he woke up his servents and me to arange a room for you, he carried you there himself, he seems to admire the way you..sleep, I know it sounds pretty creepy but its kind of nice, the master is 21 years old, and very kind" Nick said with a gleamign tinit in his eyes

"What is the masters name?" I asked as sweet as possible, I was always well- mannerd when it came to such high class of people "im sure he will tell you himself but hes at work, he'll be home by around 5, thats why im watching over you" he said "ok" I sat modestly on the paitent leather sofa

He came and sat a few meters away from me "when the master brought you in we thought you were dead..and so did he which brought great distress but the minute he laid you on that bed you started shivering becasue it was cold, he orderd the heating to be put on as he changed your clothes and-" I just had to interupt "he changed my clothes?" I asked "yes but he was modest, he dident look at your body at all, just looked away while he changed you" he shrugged

"How would he be able to see what he was doing?" I asked "well the master is a very modest man so I would exspect none-the-less fom him" said Nick as I nodded

"As I was saying, he wrapped you up nice and warm, I watched from the door quietly as he sat next to you for a full 2 hours, he kept brushing stray hairs that fell to your face and admireing you as if you were fradgile and breakable, he told me as he went to leave 'look after her well in the morning, she is fradgile and weak and needs asistance, she is too thin and her health is something to be looked at, please take good care of her'" siad Nick

I was intranst by this man known as the master, he seemed harmless yet my brain was on wide alert telling me to run and never stop..which I dident understand at all

"Are you hungry little one?" he asked and I nodded vigorously "why are you so thin then? were you not eating well at home?" he asked, this is where I need to tel him my story as I already know his

"I need to tell you something Nick, im trusteing you not to tell this master or any other ears until I decide, I know I only just met you but I need to know that I have faith in you?" I asked and he nodded "im all ears" he said with a serious exspression

"You see..my parents dident want a child but they loved me none-the less, I was their prize of a daughter, they loved me to peices and treated me like no other loving should..then..one day it all changed..when I was around the age of 11 my parents started locking me in my room and only feeding me twice a day, I wasent aloud out of my room or I would be punished." I siad and carried on

"I was beaten every night for 6 years, I was forced into a world of haterd and harshness, yesterday night was the worst one..I was makeing my parents dinner as I am forced always and I decided to make a nice roast chicken wth parsley butter..I hadent realised my mother was alergic to parsley so minutes after I sat in my dull room my father rushed upstairs and grabbed my throat, he dropped me after about 30 seconds of un-breathable pain, he went to go get his shot gun and finish me off but he had smashed my window open and that was my only way out, I ran and I ran until I was here..I climbed over your gates which in turn snaged at my dress and I was also drenched, I dropped at your doorstep in pure exaustion and..thats why im here"

I breathed a breath out as he sat there in pure shock

Rage began to surface his once sweet and gentle eyes "how dare they treat a young girl as such!, thast against every law there is let alone cruel, you must tell the master of this!!" he seethed "I dont have to and im not going to, now you promised me before I told you to keep quiet so I suggest you keep it because..lets face it...I have no one to trust anymore" I dident realise I had started crying 

Nick rushed over to me and embrassed me in a hug, I had never felt anything like this but I brought myself to wrap my arms around him, something felt wrong about hugging him but I couldent help but enjoy it

"Dont cry little one, I promise I wont tell" he siad wipeing my tears away "come on lets go have something to eat before the master gets back" he said as we made our way to the kitchin

There were many maids in the castle kitchin "master Domonic, miss" they adressed us "this is Alice, the master brought her in last night, it was like the princess and the pea, but she was passed out from exaustion" he said "oh you poor flower you, lets get some meat on those poor little bones" she said in a thick scotish accent, she rshed me to sit at a table as al sorts of woman brang me plates of diffrent foods "eat up sugar, your too thin for wear" smiled another kind womans face as I smiled back

All the woman left the kitchin for the break as me and Domonic sat at the table, so far I hadent touched anything, I must be dreaming..I must, I pinched myself just to make sure and..yep, It was all real

"Eat" siad Nick "I dont know what to eat first" I smiled at him "the pancakes are delicious, as are the waffles so I would eat one of them first, after that wash it down with a glass of orange juice and eat some poached egg and bacon then a few spoonfuls of cereal outta seal the deal" he anounnced

I followed his instructions and sure enough I was full to the brim of good food

"Thank you Nick" I said as he took my plates and washed them up

"Now I have strict orders from the master to get you checked ou by the castle doctor" said Nick and I nodded

It took about 5 minutes to get there which suprised me..well it wasent that supriseing since it was a big castle "Kara?" he called as a woman in a white coat awnserd "hello Domonic" she smiled up at him "you must be that little bundel of joy I saw the master carry in" she said and I smiled "the master wants her checked out" he said and she usherd us into her doctors suit

After a ful examination I was let out "it seems her cholestrul is very low and she has a small traumatic fusion on the brain but other than that all I can suggest is rest and to keep feeding her every few hours and get some levels of carbohydrates in her" she smiled as Nick nodded and we left

We went back to the room where we met to watch some tv, it was atleast 4:30 before I herd the door go

"The masters here" smiled Nick

I was dreading it...
