The soggy grass squished beneath your feet as you fumbled through the forest brush. I pushed branches and leaves out of your way, occasionally getting one right back in the face. Groaning in frustration, I smacked at the branches and stomped my foot. "God dammit! Where the hell am I???" I wailed as you leaned on a tree.  "I can't see shit in this stupid forest!". I continued trotting through the branches of the low hanging trees as mosquitos nicked at my revealed forearms. I smacked and scratched at my itchy red arms. My foot caught on something, causing me to fall forward and straight onto my face. I glanced up to see a large brick wall, covered in vines and moss. The bricks look worn down and gray and the vines flourished in the damp sunlight. You stood up, patting your pants, your eyes roaming the large wall. You looked side to side to see if it ended or if there was some sort of door nearby. You shuffled down the side slowly. Your hand slowly grazed the wall as you passed. The wall fell short and a wide iron gate stood high. A bolt held the mighty gate together from the inside. You peered through the spaces of the iron bars, looking at what was beyond the gate. A stone path laid along the gate to somewhere out of site. Flowers and giant trees sat on either side, in full bloom and bright with color. Past the path laid a large oak door. It sat up, solid and strong like the gate across from it. The door was connected to a large stone walled castle. It's roof, hundreds of feet tall and windows littered across the walls. "This is creepy as hell.." you muttered softly as you backed from the gate. Suddenly, a large clanking of chains could be heard and the gate started slowly swinging open away from you. It's hinges creaked and groaned as it came to a stop, its doors wide open. You peeped your head inside and look around, frowning. "I don't trust this.. at all.." You stepped slowly into the castle's gates and walked further down the stone path. The loud creaking of the iron gate sounding again and you spun around. The giant iron gate closed and you were trapped inside. Thoughts ran wild in your head. A mixture of fear, anxiety, and concern grew, as well as the need to pee. You hurried over to the door and grabbed the handle. It was locked unfortunately, so you walked over to a nearby window. Peering inside, you saw a bright red carpet and golden colored railing that sat on the sides of a grand staircase. Torches and lamps hung on the sides of the walls with an eerie glow. You looked further into the room with your hands nearly pressing on the glass. You pushed on the window and it swung inwards, bringing you inside and causing you to fall on your butt. The room lit up more then it did previously through the window. Everything was vivid and the room popped with vibrant colors. You rubbed you head and backed into the wall behind you. The wall was soft and silky. You looked behind you too see a tangled tapestry hanging from the top of the window. You stood up and carefully stepped away from the wall. WTF you thought as you shuffled to the staircase. You looked up the carpeted stairs at a door that was open wide. A muffled voice came from the door and a shadow appeared in the doorway. You backed away out of sight and covered your mouth to silence your breathing. The shadow grew bigger until a large, slender figure came out of the doorway. She was tall, pale, and her long black hair hung to her shoulders. Her white gown clung to her figure tightly and exposed her body. She placed a large black hat on her head and begun making her way down the velvet stairs. You gasped and hid further away from the bottom of the stairs, in desperation to stay out of sight from her. As she made her way onto the ground floor, she cornered the railing and begun walking past you when she stopped. She sniffed and her fingers clenched. She turned and revealing her other hand which had knife like fingers. Your eyes widened in fear as she crept closer to you. Clack. Clack. Clack. Her long heels rung on the stone flooring. Clack. Clack. Clack. You watched as she got closer and closer to you. Clack. CLACK! She stood before you and peered down at your pathetically small body. She reached down and grabbed the collar of your shirt with a smirk on her face. She lifted you as if you were a light weight to her. She licked her lips and took a deep breath. "So who might you be~ you seem a bit lost to have ended up in here~" she slyly remarked as she pulled you closer. You looked at her pale pristine face. Her dark red lipstick shined in the lamp light and her amber eyes reflected the image of your face. You grew red at the sight of such a beautiful woman, and she caught on to it. "Well? Where did you come from?" You stammered but managed to utter a few words in response. "I-I got l-lost, and ended up here.." She looked you up and down, slightly giggling at your flustered face. She dropped you onto the floor and placed her hand on her hip. "My name, darling, would be Lady Alcina Dimitrescu." She leaned over you. "But you may call me Alcina." You gulped and backed into the wall behind you. "Yours?~" she asked, "O-Oh, I'm y/n.." She giggled sadistically and stood up straight. "Nice to make your acquaintance y/n~" She put her clawed finger up to her chin and thought for a second. She picked you up onto your feet and ran her clawed finger across your red face. "I'll let you off on a hook y/n... but only if you wish to leave here." The front door unlocked and opened. "Although, if you wish to stay, meet me upstairs~" She made her way back to the stairs and walked back up, her long white dress flowing behind her. You sat there, dazed and shaken from her mannerisms. "I-I thought I was gonna die oh my god..." you exclaimed and took a large sigh of relief. You stood up and walked over to the front doors quickly. The breeze of the outside air blew onto your face as you stood at the doorway to the gloomy outside. You hesitated, peering back up to the room that Alcina first emerged from. A light hum flowed from her room and filled your ears. She was delightful to listen to when she hummed. You drew your footsteps backwards as you slowly made your way back into the castle's lobby. The oak doors slowly closed as you made your way up the steps. Her voice entranced you with its smooth melody. You felt light and breathless and soon found yourself at the top of the stairs. She stood in her door way, leaning on a side as she held her face in her clawed hand. She beckoned you towards her and you obediently came to her. She backed into her room and you followed. The door slammed behind you, knocking you out of the hypnotic trance you were just in. You shook your head and looked at her. "Y-You tricked me!" She chuckled and sighed. "Of course darling.. I couldn't just let you leave~" Your eyes grew wide and you started breathing heavily as Alcina watched you panic. "Oh hush darling~ we can't have you ruining that perfect complexion of yours can we?~" You looked up at her, your face frozen with fear. She paced in circles slowly around you. Her spiked finger tracing your collarbone and the base of your neck. A shiver shot down your back as she got close to you from behind. "Are you alright my dear?~" she muttered, her breath lightly flowing down your neck. You bit your lip and clenched your hands to resist the tingly feeling of her hot breath on you. She traced her claws around your neck, lightly scratching you. You winced slightly which made her giggle with a sadistic excitement. She ran her other hand through your hair and pulled it lightly. You were looking up at her now, her soft, amber eyes inches from yours. "I have a... proposition for you~" You nodded softly, still mesmerized by her soft yet frim grasp. "It's such a long way from the nearest village dear, and I'm aware that you're tired.." She turned you around to face her and traced your neck with her hand. "How about you stay for a while?~" You looked at her with a slight concern. Why would she want me to stay? Sketchy as hell, but then again free shelter soo. You nodded at her and her face lit up. "Oh wonderful! I'll show you to your room then dearest~" She walked out of the room, her heels clicking on the stone floor once more. You slowly followed after as she glided effortlessly along the ground. You couldn't help but look at her... she was tall, smooth, warm, she smelled oh so nice.. damn you thought. She stopped at a dark wooden door and turned to you. "Here you are my dear.. a nice clean room for you to stay in for the night~" Smiling shyly, you slowly walked into the vast room. A bed sat tightly in the far corner of the room and a large wardrobe stood across from it. A bedside table tucked neatly beside the bed and a smaller wooden door led to a small, white bathroom. The window drapes hid the view of the outside and torches lit up the smooth stone walls of the room. You walked over towards the bed and pressed your hand onto it. Soft... You turned and looked at the big wardrobe. It's dark wooden doors shut tightly. There was no telling what was inside. You stepped over to it and grabbed the handle. Please don't be a body, PLEASE don't be a body! In one swift motion you opened the doors and peered into the wardrobe. Sets of clothes hung from the clothes rack and shoes sat neatly compiled at the bottom. A sigh of relief escaped your lips and you looked over at Alcina. She was smiling, but her eyes didn't share the same warmness. They seemed full of pent up frustration and desperation. "A-Are you alright Mrs. Alcina?" She blinked rapidly and rubbed her cheek. "Oh yes dear I'm fine, just a bit tired." She walked over to your bed and took a seat. The bed creaked from the weight of her body on top of it. "Come here dear." You walked over to her, not to slowly as to make her impatient. You stood in front of her and she beckoned for you to take a seat beside her. you sat down and she put her hand on your shoulder. "Have you eaten yet dear?" She lightly scratched your neck with her claws. "N-No I haven't Mrs. Alcina.." "Oh my, well that's unfortunate." She stood up and walked over to the door to your room. She looked back at you and smiled, "dinner is soon, so do join me in the dining hall.~" You quickly nodded as she left and shut the door behind her. "Oh my god... what happened?!?! I don't even really know her yet!" You looked at the door then around the room again. "Whoever she is... she helped me. I can't just leave her hanging like this!" You got up and walked to the door, with your hand on the doorknob, you hesitated. "What if she poisons me? Can I really trust this random woman?..." You look at the door and took a deep breath. "Well I don't have a choice but to right now." You opened the door and took off towards the dining hall.
