I stood there. In shock. My hands, they were bloody. But, i felt...so...good.
A cold, lifeless body lay beneath my feet. It was repulsing, but for some reason, i couldn't have been happier. Im unsure whether it could be the adrenaline but i felt alive, more than ever before.
I looked at my blood covered hands again. I then realised the sinister murder that I had just committed. No one could know.
I couldn't stay there.
So I ran, I ran far far away till I could run no more. I gasped for air. I could hardly breathe. My body felt heavy as my vision began to blur and I collapsed.
The last thing I saw that night was the illuminating light of the silver moon.
I woke up to the golden beams of the sun through a glass window pane. I was in a large room with multiple beds all in rows, there were about 20 beds altogether. Each of them was neatly made. They had clean white sheets and luxurious silky silver pillows. I realised I was on a bed in a lonely corner, further away from the other beds.
I examined my quilts and noticed they were extremely filthy compared to the others. The sheet was a dark-greyish colour and the bedframe was a solid metal. I got out of the bed and cautiously walked out of a dark oak door that led to a snake-like staircase that had one-hundred stairs at the least.
I began to travel down the staircase. After what felt like hours of walking, I was at the bottom of the stairs. I heard lots of chatter coming from the inside of a room and made my way towards the door. I kneeled down looking through a crack in the door and saw numerous girls gathered together.
Then, one of them saw me peeking through the crack.
"Hey you!" she called out.
I stood up panicked unsure what to do, was she talking to me?
"Come here" she beckoned.
I turned around to check if there was someone behind me she could possibly be speaking to and when I turned back she was stood right Infront of me "Are you spying on us?"
I looked at her, puzzled.
"If you tell the mistress about what you saw, you're dead." She threatened.
I just stood there with a blank expression on my face unsure of what to say or do.
"Anyway, you're not supposed to be here, just don't tell her about this or we'll all be in big trouble", she said looking irritated.
"Who's that?" I questioned.
She suddenly let out a quiet chuckle.
"Are you joking, you don't know who the mistress is?" The girl questioned.
I shook my head.
"I don't know why im here either", i said furrowing my brows. "How do i get out of this place?"
Before the girl could reply, her eyes shifted to above my head. "Mistress, what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice shaking. I turned around to see a tall pale woman looking down at me, her hair in a slicked bun and she wore a navy blue long sleeved dress.

Her facial expressions were tense for a moment then they softened. "Darlings, i thought you knew better than to be in here. Please, return to the dining room." The woman spoke softly though i could sense a hint of anger in her eyes.
The girls all made their way out of the room and i was about to follow along when the woman stopped me. "I must talk to you for a moment."
Once the girls had vanished from sight, the woman turned to face me.
