Lara

-----------------------------------------------

I was sleeping soundly on this comfortable bed when I felt someone moving next to me. I turned and opened my eyes and saw Derek looking back at me intensely as if he was memorizing my face. 

Ah, he so handsome, I thought and sleepily smiled at him and started to close my eyes.

But then, WAIT A Minute!

I opened my eyes again and saw him. OMG, I started remembering the things he did to me last night. The chloroform and the kidnapping.

 "Aghh"I screamed at him, rolled and fell off the bed. "What the hell are you doing in my bed?!"

I looked around the room and saw that it wasn't like my room and it looked like a castle room. It was huge! There was a huge bed covered in decorative pillows and comforters. It had a buge chandilier hanging over the bed. Moreover, it had a big vanity table, a nice veranda leading outside and a huge walk in bathroom and closet. 

Derek immediately got up and asked "what wrong?''

I started to get angry at that. How could he not know what was wrong?!

"Whats wrong!! You idiot! You kidnapped me and you ask me what's wrong"I asked fuming, my fists clenched.

I started to stare at the door. Maybe if I run, I can make it to the door. Ah, this is stressful.

"Lara, I know what you are thinking, Do not even try to run as I can assure you that I can catch you in a metter of seconds. I just want to talk to you. Please, Lara let me explain" Der begged, but all I was seeing was red and how much I wanted to kill him.

"No! I want to go home" I refused to listen to him. Nothing he would say would make up for this kidnapping.

He got angry and said" No, Lara you are not going home. You are going to meet my parents, so wear something nice" He demanded forcefully with his usual arrogant tone. 

I scowled at him. How dare he demand me. 

"I have no clothes" I said in an attempt to procrastinate.  "Can I go home after meeting them? Why am I here? What is the point of this?"

" I promise that I will answer all your questions soon, but for now, can you please listen to me and get dressed. I swear you are safe. I will never do anything to hurt you." Der said pleadingly. 

"What are you? Are you a prince or king to order me around. I am not your servant " I say angry as hell.

"Just change " he ordered, gave me a daring stare and left the room. I went after him and tried to open the door, but the idiot locked the door. 

I tried opening it a few more times, but my efforts were all futile.

Ugh, I guess I will go according to his plan for now and try to come up with an escape plan once he trusts me more.

I saw a bathroom and it was humongous. I looked in the mirror and was astonished at my face. I looked disgusting. My hair was all over the place, tangled and greasy. My mascara was all over my face. How did Der look at me and not freak out.  I saw some towels on the rack so I grabbed those and went into the shower. I tried a nice body wash and washed my hair.

I used the towel to cover my body and went to the mirror. I found all sorts of expensive makeup brands with mascara, foundation, eyeliner. How did he know all my shades?

Well I always want to look my best and I put on makeup. After I was done, I curled my hair and went to the closet where millions of dresses were hung on the hangers.  I saw a dark blue dress and some blue heels thought this will do I put it on and looked in the mirror.  It was both classy and regal.  It was the perfect dress to impress Derek's parents. 

WAIT. I paused. Why do I care what his parents think i thought angrily and threw a pillow against the wall.

Nope, I am not going to impress his parents.

I look through closet again and saw a plain maroon casual dress that was not fancy.

This will have to do I thought.

Just then someone knocked on the door.

"Lady Lara?" a soft, sweet voice called out.

"Come in"

It was a young, maid with black hair and the most beautiful green eyes. She bowed and curtised to me, but when she saw my attire, she gasped.

"Oh no Mi'Lady, that is not the right dress to meet the majesties" 

"The who?" I thought I was meeting Der's parents. Who were the royals. She ignored me and led me to the closet once again and went into a different section of the closet. She grabbed a medieval, beige and brown ball gown. It looked like something from the olden days.

"Wait, why do I have to wear this. Is this a costume day or something and why do you call me Lady' i was confused by the attire she was wearing and the gown she put on me.  

"Prince Derek will explain everything soon Lady Lara" the maid politely replied to me as she made last minute adjustments. The corset she put on me was so tight that I couldn't breathe. 

'Prince Derek'  I thought. Why was he a called a Prince?

Just then Derek knocked was heard at the door. 
"Come in"I yelled

It was Derek. He walked in and his mouth fell open.

"Wow you look amazing come on"he said and offered me his hand. He was wearing a royal suit with different medals hanging on them. He also was wearing a crown. What was going on?

I took his hand, confused and we walked in into halls. The halls were so wide and big, and portraits of previous kings and queens hung on the walls. It looked like a olden day castle.

We walked into what looked like a dining room.

I saw two people seated in the front of the dining table who I assumed were his parents.

Derek's parents looked so young I thought. They looked like they were in their 20's! I couldn't spot a single piece of white hair on their heads. WTF? His father was seated regally, posture straight with a small smile on his voice and a big crown resting on top of his head. Whereas his mom had a soft features and was smiling so widely at us. She too had a crown on her head. She also wore a ball gown like me. 

Derek's mom rose from her seat and came towards where we were standing and hugged me so tightly that I couldn't breathe. 

"Omg you look so beautiful you will make an amazing queen" She told me. 

"Thank you, wait what queen?" I ask her confused. No one was explaining anything to me and I was getting more and more furious by the second.

"You didn't tell her"asked his father with the same stoic expression, not revealing his emotions. I was kind of scared of him. His mom was so sweet and kind whereas his dad was big, scary and burly. 

"No, I did not have time today. I will later, father" Derek replied back to his father, respectfully.

"Tell me what?" I asked

"I will tell you later" he said and I turned around. UGH.

"Hello, I'm Derek's father,  Leander and this is my wife,  Isabella" he tells me wrapping his arm around Bella's waist

"Hello it's very nice to meet you too" I reply back. 

"Derek, I like her already, you picked a good one" said his mother and father the same time. I could see by the way his parents looked at each other that they were both deeply in love with each other. his father showed emotions and was so gentle when Isabella was near and I thought that was so sweet.

"Come on, it's time for dinner" his mother said and we all sat down and ate in comfortable silence.
