Journey of blood and snow : a world of darkness story

part 8: breakfast deal.

(Pov mara)

I woke up in the bedroom i was left in the other night by the pillager king, it was strange waking up some where new that i had never been before and something so ....i guess primitive. Not that there was anything wrong with that.

I sat up in the bed and stretched, the sun shined through the window giving the room a lot more light then it had last night making it seem a lot more friendly.

Now im not an idiot completely, i didnt trust klaus or anyone here all the way just yet, they are called pillagers or illagers whatever for a reason. However either way i will accept the roof over my head, food and water they bring me. Otherwise id be getting eaten alive by those....monsters out there.

i got up and saw a note next to my clothes , it said 'i had some friends of mine try and fix your outfit, sorry if its not up the the standards of the rest of it- klaus.'

It was nice of him i suppose, the sowing was definitely noticeable but it wasnt too bad and i could deal with it ass long as my clothes still fit me, which i found out they did when i put them on.

Shortly after i got dressed there was a knock on the door, i walked up and opened it to see the illager that turned out to be Karloff. Klauses right hand man.

Karloff " the king is expecting you for breakfast in his personal dining area, quite the privilege for some one who has barely just arrived." He stepped aside to let me step out of the room " i wouldn't disobey him by the way, just to give you some common knowledge from around here." This one I definitely didnt trust at all, even more then klaus.

I also get the feeling he might not be the biggest fan of me, at least we dislike each other at the same time, got that going for us i guess.

"Lead they way then." I said to him.

I shut the door and we started walking down the hall way, it wasnt long till he opened a large door and i entered a large room with a big table. There was a few different plates of food on the sides with klaus at the very end. I walked in and Karloff closed the door behind him.

Klaus " glad you came down, please sit at which ever meal strikes your fancy." He seemed too nice about it but i was hungry so I wanted to eat no matter what.

I scanned over all the food and found some sort of break or cake thing and sat down to eat it, after taking a few bites i looked over at klaus " seems like a lot of food to waste just to see which ones id like." There was about 10 plates of food total so i thought it would have been a big waste.

Karloff then walked up to the table and picked tiny bits out of different foods " well most people around here are allowed to come in after the big feasts, though we just had most of this stuff prepared well in advance." He took a cupcake looking thing and walked back to the corner of the room he was hiding in.

Klaus " also we had no idea what you might like and i didnt want to force you to wait, besides our cooks love to ....well... cook. Its their jobs after all." I ate another large bit of cake before responding to him.

" well i hope they are getting paid because...these are actually really good. " i couldnt help myself but take more and more, definitely more then i should have " whats in this stuff?" I asked curious , also so that i could maybe try learn to make it for myself one day.

Klaus " thats a secret i dont even know, so tell me why did you come here exactly? The undead waste land isnt most peoples first thought when they think of going on a bit of a trip." Right... how does one explain wanting to run away from home because your family issues and also being stuck while other people suffered when you had the smarts to help them.
