I slowly open my eyes... morning already? I snuggle deeper into Zilla's side. Zilla chuckles and holds me closer, "Good morning, my little moonflower." I smile to myself at her calling me that. "What shall we do today?" Zilla asks rubbing my side.
"I don't know... sleep?"
Zilla laughs, "We'll go to bed early today if you're that tired."
"By the time nightfall comes I'm going to be wide awake."
"That's the point."
We hear a small knock at the door and Zilla answers, "Come in."
I sit up and see Lily enter the room and bow, "Breakfast is ready your majesties. Would you like it in bed or the dining room?" Zilla looks at me and I respond, "You don't have to bring it up, We'll be down in a minute." Lily nods and swiftly leaves the room. I get up, "Let's get dressed."
Zilla nods and walks around the bed to me. "After breakfast why don't we ride horses through the woods." She grabs my waist and pulls me closer. "That sounds like a wonderful idea," I say before kissing her. She kisses back then we pull apart to get ready for the day.
I look into the mirror and gaze at the gorgeous dress I just put on. It's a simple silk, black dress with a velvet center and black lace detailing. I let my waist-length, black hair fall at my sides and brush out my bangs which are still covering my right eye. Like I did when I first arrived here I do a little twirl. I always feel so pretty in black. I'm always more confident. Not having to mess with the bobby pins keeping my hair in a painful hairdo, or having to pull at the pink ballgown dad got me. It's too small for me but dad just says it means I have to lose weight. But I feel like my weight is fine. I'm not the skinniest person in the world but having a little chub shouldn't be a big deal. Not punishable by being forced to skip meals.
"Aww my pretty princess," I jump and see Zilla standing in the doorway wearing a blood-red ballgown with black detailing. Her black hair is tied into a messy braid that trails down her shoulder. She reaches out her hand to me, her black snake ring wrapping around her middle finger. I take her hand and she leads me out of the room.
