"This is the guest room but Miss Raven said this might be your room if you decide to stay" Veronica explained while entering the room, Elizabeth followed while taking a look at the beautifully decorated room

It had a large bed, with a light blue comforter and white pillows, next to it was a nightstand with a small yellow lamp on top of it, a large closet standing next to the window across the room, the window was covered by light blue curtains that match the atmosphere of the room

"Come along, I loaned you one of my dresses for dinner tonight" she said walking towards the closet, opening it and pulling out a lavender dress

"Oh there was no need for that" Elizabeth said nervously approaching Veronica, feeling a little guilty

"Of course there is, I mean I couldn't let you have dinner in those uncomfortable rags you call clothes, no offense" she pointed out, Elizabeth looked down at her clothes, sure it was a little worn out but it wasn't that bad was it?

"Besides I don't even use this dress anymore so it would be a waste to just get rid of it" Veronica said reassuringly, handing the dress to Elizabeth "look I even modified it so your wings don't get in the way" she explained with a proud look on her face, Elizabeth took a second to admire the dress, it was a plain lavender dress with short sleeves, with a white collared neck and matching belt, it was so beautiful, Elizabeth looked back a Veronica with a smile

"Thank you so much" she thanked happily, making Veronica smile too

"It's no problem" she replied "I leave you to get ready, dinner is in one hour and 30 minutes, there's a bath across the hallway if you need it, and once you're ready you can go ahead to the dining room" she said making her way out the room, Elizabeth gave her a nod in understanding and gratitude

Once Veronica left, Elizabeth undressed herself to put on the dress, glad that it fitted her, she reached behind to button up the slips on the back, Veronica was right, this dress felt more comfortable that what she was wearing, she found the black flat shoes and ankle high socks sitting on the bed, she sat on the edge of the bed to put on the shoes

Once she did she stood up to look at herself in the mirror, it was the first time she has seen herself in such a pretty dress, she wasn't against it but she couldn't help to feel out of place

She still had time before dinner starts, so she sat at the edge of the bed, she didn't really have time to think fully about the recent events until now, at first she though everything might have been a really bad dream, but this was happening for real, she is really in 1902, she really almost died today, her mother is really...

Tears clouded Elizabeth's vision as she remembered her lifeless body laying on the floor, she covered her mouth to cover her quiet sobs, her mother didn't deserve what that excuse for a father did to her, Elizabeth's whole body shook as she cried quietly

She put her hands on her knees and shut her eyes, taking deep breaths trying to calm herself down

Time for dinner came sooner than expected, fortunately Elizabeth composed herself before she had to go downstairs, she made her way doing her best to remember which way to go based on the little tour Veronica gave her

Luckily she found herself at the entrance of the dining room, she took a deep breath to try and calm her nerves, then she opened the door entering the dining room
