Part 4

When i awoke i was in a large silk white bed. I thought i was dreaming and went back to sleep, waking up again...i was in a large silk white bed. I sat up and looked around the room, i was still gripping the golden feather.

The room was large, as if i was in a princesses room! The walls were pail pink, catchimg the sun light as it crawled through the window. Under the window was a window seat with pink cusions, next to it was shelves of figures that im afraid to touch. There was a small door in the corner of the room. Getting out of bed i walked over to the door looking behimd at the bed i was in.

The bed was circular with a pinkish canopy over top. There was many pillows over the top of the bed, ranging from pinks, to reds, to whites. Turning back to the door i grasped the handle amd turned. Inside was a walking wardrobe, there was rows upon rows of ball gowns and dresses, far as the eye could see. I walked away. Where was i?

Suddenly the door on the other side of the room opened to reveal the same man who had grabbed me and taken me here.

"i am prince Tokki"he stated in a formal voice "i have brought you here on orders of queen crystal"

"say what now?" i said back then realising my rudeness "i am...erm...phoe. and it alittle bit mean for a man to grab a young girl thank you very much."

"your 15 right?" he asked as if confused about something

"yes...so?"

"i am 17, i dont think i was that much in the wrong my lady"

I felt like i wanted to shrink into a hole, i just insulted a prince. A prince of all things! Then i remembered the old lady say 'Sometimes an action shows more than words' words to live by in this situation.

The prince walked over and into the wardrobe, he then emerged with a lovely red and gold gown, one of which I saw on TV when I was little. He placed it out on the bed and told me to put it on. I didn't know how to put on a gown. Never wore a dress. The prince seemed to accept this and called fourth two maids of which dressed me.

Once dressed the prince placed the golden red feather in my hair and took my hand, leading me down a long corridor. Towards...

A throne room. Now I was bowing to what looked like a ghostly spirit woman sitting upon a golden throne. She had flowers in her long golden hair, her dress was long and white, covering her feet. Her cheeks were rosy red complimenting her lush red lips.

she smiled softly down upon me.
