Replacement Queen (not finished at all )

The Job

I'm pretty sure the world stopped moving at that moment. The guards, The country, The earth, The milky way. I think my heart even stopped beating for a few seconds. That's when one of the guards shouted, "ARE YOU INSANE? FIRST WITH MILLIE THEN THIS!?" He instantly covered his mouth and ran off. "Find that guy, I'll deal with him later but you... we should start training as soon as possible" Alexia says, "You should probably change from these... clothes. I'll be kind, I will give you the rest of today to ready yourself for tomorrow." I was about to say something like, "are you crazy woman?" Or, "you must have gone insane." Surely the princess wouldn't do this, this was crazy, possibly unhinged. This woman was definitely a poser, they were mad to think I'd go along with their little scheme. I started backing away until a larger man, pretty old with white hairs, but still a lot of muscle strength, took me by the arm and let me into a side room, off of the main room.

He threw me into a room and said, " I'm sorry, but orders are orders." He slammed the door, locked it from the outside, and left. I ran to the door slamming my fists while screaming at the top of my lung's, when I knew the door wouldn't budge, I went looking for another means of escape, all the doors either lead to other rooms or were locked, the windows had bars on them, the balcony door had police tape all over it, I found a small tunnel hidden in the corner, it lead to a door and just as I was about to open it, saw the sign above it.

"☡ WARNING, OPENING DOORS WILL SET OF EMERGENCY ALARMS AND SPRINKLERS ALL OVER THE BUILDING ☡"

Well, I wanted to get out, but I didn't want to alert everyone that I was leaving, so i decided to put down the plan for the time being, and look around the room. there was about two floors, both WAY to big for one person. The bottom floor had 2 walk-in closets, one for dresses and suits and the other for heels, accessories, swimwear, pajamas and jewelry. There was a desk with papers and a computer, with parental controls on so I couldn't call anyone or go on social media, and a bathroom that smelled so much like flowers that I thought it would lead me to a garden. On the second floor, there was a humongous bed that could fit at least four people, that's also where the balcony, windows and the trapdoor was. but if you looked above you, you could see a balcony similar to the one in the main hall, I assumed that was where the princess would come in from probably to torture me even more...

I laid down by the bed, it was almost dark out. I went downstairs, picked out what seemed like a comfortable pair of pajamas, walked to the bathroom, did my business, and started experimenting with the face care things in the bathroom. I decided to go with some moisturizer and a... UV face mask..? "These rich people..." I say. I climb back up and I'm about to lay in my bed when I see a picture. Its me... and my family, the smiling faces of my mother, father and little brother... they bring me to tears. when we had a rough life, we all had to work for our supper, but we were happy. when father was sent to war, we gained a lot of money from his participation, but we were scared for his life. he came back okay. I saw it with my own two eyes. but now. I was the one that was being brung into the war. I wasn't a solider like my dad but I was the commander. and I didn't know a thing about what to command. I took the picture and I hugged it. and just as I was about to fall asleep, something touched my foot, I was way to tired to remember, but it felt sharp, not like a knife but like the end of a smashed picture frame. I swept the broken glass off the bed, and picked up the picture. It looked an awful a lot like me and my friend from younger, Maria, poor her... When her dad's fell into debt, the royal palace took her in...

"I haven't heard from her in years, I hope she's doing okay." I said. I fell asleep in the next few minutes. But for some reason, the next morning the picture was gone, with a trail of ♒︎H⃤I⃠t⃫ᗴ
🅂l҈ⁱ𝕞Ɇ behind it...

She got sent to the castle from her familys debt...
