The silent ones

Alice

Alice's POV
I'm running around a dimmed corridor. I can see fumes flying around in the air giving away foul smell. I can hear screaming and footsteps behind me. As I look back I see justice makers following me with their guns out. I let out a blood-curdling scream and I feel somebody shaking me.

"Lady Alice! Lady Alice wake up!"
I wake up to see my maid Cedna shaking me. I pant as I look around. It was only a dream?..
"Lady Alice are you alright?" Cedna said while lifting a wet rag to my forehead.
"I'm alright Cedna , thank you. Are there any events for today?" I wait anticipatedly for her to say no.
"Oh, yes. You'll have to go to your classes with Princess Delilah and you'll have dinner with the Queen. I have prepared a bath for you and I have ironed your uniform" She said with a smile.
She was only 20... She gave her life away, her dreams, for this job. Of Course she gets paid well but I would imagine a 20 year old in college by this time studying medicine or law or anything else they preferred.
"Thank you Cedna" I say as I try to hide my annoyance. I must have failed because the expression on my maid's face was priceless.
"Are you not content with these desicions?" She said quite nervous for my response.
"Oh no It's fine" I say grinning . To that she looks at me weird as I wait for her departure . I then bury my face in the pillow and muffle a scream.
I hate having dinner with the queen . It's boring and all they do is talk about the changes they're gonna do around FJL. I hope they talk about the City of the Silent. Maybe then I might get some usefull information.
I stand up and make my way to the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror and scare myself with my reflection. My hair is all over the place and I have saliva all over my mouth. Gross. I Don't know how Cedna doesn't make an expression about my face in the morning... Oh well.
I open the tap and wash my face. I slip out of my pajamas and reveal my pale body. I am quite slim but not too much. I am quite small in height but my attitude makes up for it. I get in the tub and start my bath.
I finish and dry off as I walk to my bed and see my uniform neatly folded. I get dressed and fix my black hair. I skip the makeup because I Don't need it that much. Everyone says I have beautiful eyes. They remind them of the sea or some crap like that but they're just eyes aren't they? . I go downstairs to eat some breakfast . My butler escorts me to our car and my chofer drives me to the Castle.
When I arrive my friend Delilah is outside grinning. I get out of the car and run to her and hug her. We pull apart and do our handshake. We laugh as her maids look at us weirdly.
"Margarot take her to my study, I will go change now" She says to one of her maids.
The nice lady takes me to the room I've seen far too many times due to it being my everyday classroom.
"Excuse me" she says as she leaves the room leaving me alone. I look outside the window as I wait for the tutor and Delilah to come. I hear the door creak open as I see a tall man with brown hair and black rimmed glasses walk in. Must be a new tutor.. Then I see a panting Delilah behind him.
"I'm here!" She yells making me laugh. She takes a seat and we start our class.
They were talking about our history wich for the first time kept me from looking at the ceiling and zoning out. As always we had justice makers outside our door to see what exactly they were teaching us
"A few years ago we were corrupt... We had rebels running around ruining everything.." He said. To this Delilah gasped but I just stared at him blankly. I already knew this due to my father working so close to the Queen. "Till' one day our fair Queen sent them somewhere.. That controlled them for awhile but they were still rebelling against them. One day the justice makers couldn't take more and they just..."
We were interrupted by Margaret, Delilah's maid.
"Your Highness the Queen requests to talk to you"
"I'll be up right away" Delilah says as she stands up and walks away waving at me goodbye.
The tutor had a shocked expression on his face and I was scared that it was gonna happen again.
