Emperor's Pet

Show Time

Finally, Matthew was finished arguing with that other red suit man. We left that large room to the outside world. It looked as if we were in a garden because there was red roses everywhere. But there was some that were white, pink, and black. There were other people out here as well. Either admiring the beauty or trimming the rose bushes. Matthew lead me to another big, tall building. When we entered through the doors, my mouth dropped down to the floor. It was amazing how much this place shines. Making me wonder who cleans this place in one night. Matthew grabbed a slip of paper from a busy women at a desk. I follow him up some stairs with the two men not far behind. We strolled down another long hallway past many identical doors but with names on them.

"Here we are", Matthew gestures to a door,"This is where you'll be staying"

I look at the door that had my name on it. Many questions unanswered and many questions that hasn't been asked. This is my time to get pressure off my chest.

"Can I ask you a question?" I implored. Matthew unlocked the door and put the card back into his pocket.

"Anything you want, Miss. Akira. But make it quick", he looks at his wrist with a silver bracelet,"I have a tight schedule"

My mind goes blank once I get his full attention. I don't know what to ask him about first. The scattered questions bundle together becoming unreadable to ask. Curse my pressured brain. It always crashes when put on spot.

"I...um....what...", I struggled to speak. This is embarrassing even for the situation I'm in. One question came to mind and I decided to wing it and ask it.

"W-where am I?" I stammer, still being a scatter brain.

"I'm glad you asked", he says, pulling me in my room with him. It was dark at first before my night vision kicked in. But Matthew pressed a button on a wall letting the light in. Is everything going to automatically open like the doors and windows. I study the huge room that contains a big fancy bed and a side table by it. A little table with a mirror was across from my bed. Matthew again took me by my arm pulling me to the window.

"I welcome you to Avalonia Empire!" He says cheerfully. I stare out the window high above the ground. The outline of everything below. I see the place I came out of far to my left. In front of it was the huge rose garden we went through. Then to the big building I'm in now. But, that's not all I see. I just don't know what the other buildings are. This building I'm in is probably where they keep all the werewolves they kidnapped.

"Anyway, I must be going. But first...", Matthew takes something out of his pocket. He walks over to me and takes my hands. Holding a key, he unlocks the solid metal off my wrist. I rub my wrist as he strolls over to the door.

"Miss. Akira", Matthew puts his black glasses on,"I wish you luck"

With that he leaves me in this room. Leaving me with my thoughts of my home, friends, and parents. They must be freaking out right about now. Sitting on the bed, I pull the handle on the table next to my bed. Empty. What was I expecting? To be clothes from home? I wanted to change into my comfortable night clothes. The only clothes I got is this black and white knee high dress. I cuddle into the soft, heavy, red blankets and silky bed sheets. The physical warmness inclosed around my body. This warmness is all I can feel. Though inside is completely dark and cold. Empty.

😴😴😴😴😴

I shiver feeling a drift go across my arm. Making put my covers over my head. It's unusual for our hut to get this cold. Maybe Dad forgot to shut the door again after getting back from a night hunt. I pry my eye lids open to peek over my covers. My room didn't look like my room. My mind starts to work now knowing where I am. Another breeze blew in to my face making my eyes water. Where is that cold air coming from? I squint around my eyes still half asleep. By now I'm fully awake and see the orangy-yellow sunrise. Did I seriously leave my window open all night! I heave myself out of bed and press the button to close the big glass window. For a while, I take in the beautiful sunrise and get ready to find a way out of here. But first I want to tidy things up. It's just a habit of mine. Don't judge.

I tie the humongous curtains to each side letting the light in. Then began to make the bed to look exactly like it was. Acually that was all that needed to be put back. I head over to my little table with a book on it I didn't see before. The title read, What you should know. Well that's a very convenient title for a book. I start to read the medium-sized book. To me it wasn't going to take that long. My parents taught me how to read the books on there shelves. Apparently the things around here have a certain name. Like the little table I'm at with the mirror. It's called a 'vanity'. The thing I'm wearing is called a 'maid outfit'. The guys wore a 'butler outfit'. What's with the labels? Does it matter what the objects are? I put down the book that I have finished. My reflection caught my attention making me cringe. My hair was a mess of tangles from how gorgeous it was before. I fix my hair but with a different style. Of course. I put it up in a high ponytail and put a matching hairband I found in the drawer of my vanity. Everything was in there to prep up my hair or face. My door slid open with ease with four men coming in. Causing me to almost fall out of my chair.

"Subject 263, you are requested to the Empire council", a manly voice spoke harshly. I smirk and stand up straight with my head high. Show time.
