part one:the awakening

Samantha couldn't find anything to do as she went in the old tower of her fathers castle.she loved this tower. In it were books. Books of everything. Mainly about the past.back when the world was ruled by a just man. Her father on the other hand , always gets what he wants.if its right or not. As she climbed the uneven stone stair she tripped. As she tripped she hit something and the wall opened. Inside was only darkness. But she was curious.what could be inside? Samantha stepped inside and saw it wasnt as dark as she thought. She could see a silver shining box up ahead. "A box?" She asked herself "what could it contain?could it be treasure? Or maybe books?" She wondered as she went to it. "Not made of stone"she said to herself"no it was made of steel. It must have cost a fortune. She looked around the smooth dusty surface and found a knob .no not a knob, a button. She pushed it and satisfactory happened in the sound of a click. She opened the metal box to find.... "a-a a body" she asked. "Wait its breathing!" She proclaimed . "How could he live in this box ?"she wondered backing away. The body lay still besides the rising and falling of his chest. "He looks around my age.but his clothes...they are new to me." Shw thought getting closer again to the body. At first she thought to get father. But no best to not raise alarm. She stepped to the side of the box. The man was big. Not too big. He was breathing which was good. She got closer to the box .he was close to her age. She heard her stomach growl. "Should I wait till he awakens or just go? Probably just leave" with that she turned and went to the stairs with a small glimpse back she left. Samantha went back to the stairs and put a smudge of soot where the secret door was then turned and went down the stairs to the kitchen and grabbed a wing of cold turkey and took a bite. "Mmm this is good.so juicy " she thought taking another bite. While chewing this bite she thought of the boy in the secret room. "He may be hungry since it seems he has been there for quite a while." With that thought she got a rag and put some turkey and a knife in the rag . If anyone asks what shes doing she will just say taking some to the dogs which she does quite often. She went back up the stairs to the sooted stone "hmm now how do I open it ?" She wondered looking at the stone work noticing how well hidden the door was. *slam!* went the door leading to the stairs. Heavy footfalls following the steps told her that her father was coming up the spiral.how much futher till she was caught?
