Briars POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up at 2 am, not wanting to go back to my nightmares. I found a package on my desk along with a note.

"Here's some things I thought you might require, or it's what one of my female servants said girls needed --- Adrian."

Perplexed I opened the package and almost died, laughing. Inside was 2 boxes of pads, 2 boxes of tampons, a couple plain colored tees, 3 pairs of jeans, a black skirt, a sun dress that's not my style but was pretty, chocolate (YUMMMM), a simple pair of small stud earrings which were my style, and some underwear and bras. Another note was inside and written in small cursive handwriting read--"

I told Master Silver it was all necessary for girls, and then few things extra. Boys are so clueless. Find me if you need me.----Clara." I guess thats who got this stuff for me. I don't know who she is, but I like her!

I put everything away and found a small stack of books in a closet. One was a tattered "Beauty and the Beast." I then began to read my favorite fairytale from my childhood. 3 Hours later (like 5 am) Adrian came in, shocked I was awake.

"Up early I see?" He raised an eyebrow quizmatically at me. "Yes" I replied tartly still mad at him for last night.

"You found the package I presume?"

No dip. I rolled my eyes but he didn't see. "Yup."

I glanced at him for a moment then looked away.

"And....you liked it?" he asked almost nervously. Like he cared about my opinion.

"Yes, thank you, and thank Clara for me."

"Of course, she is a good servant." I winced at the way he spoke so easily about people as servants.

"It's the weekend so no training....I could give you a tour if you want?" I looked at him. I didn't want to be near him but I can't explore unknown places I'd get lost in. Plus he knows the place better than anyone else here. He cleared his throat.

"Um yeah sure I just need to change...I could meet you in 10 at the training hall?" I asked hoping he'd leave, and for once let me walk somewhere alone that wasn't this prison of a room.

"Alright." he nodded and left.

I grabbed a pair of jeans Clara had got me and a navy blue tee. I applied some mascara and foundation, slipped on my tennis shoes, brushed my hair leaving it down for once, and left to meet Adrian 20 minutes from when I had told him 10. Oh well.

"I'd thought you'd gotten lost in the 50 feet between here and your room." he joked.

"Nope."

Wait he made a joke? Weird.

"Good, lets go then. You already know the training area, dining area, and kitchen. If you go down the hall and to the left you will find the library. I walked down the dull grey hall to a huge library full of more books than anything I had seen before. Hope I remember this place, I LOVE reading about other people's awesome magic filled lives, and I liked to laugh at all of the spy stereotypes that were way off from the real deal.

We kept walking down halls past other training rooms, some dorms and such. Apparently he has more kids and teens training here than I had known.

"Then up here two doors down is my office, and the door to the right will be yours." he stated as I walked past the two doors.

"The servants quarters are down that hall" he pointed to a small white hall.

"And that is all you need to know." I looked at him for a moment.

"You like white a lot I see? Cuz everywhere I look it's like 80% white 20% colors close to white." He looked confused for a moment then laughed a little.

"Well actually it was this color before so I left it as it was." He looked at me and smirked "So I can assume you don't like white then?" I made a small smile

"Uh well it's okay, I prefer purple and blue....or green." I blushed some but I'm not sure why.

"Um, cool." he said nonchalantly. "I'm just gonna go to work you can do....whatever I guess." He walked away.

I went back to the library and started to read some. I read like 5 different books before I realized that it was almost midnight now, I hadn't eaten all day, nor had Adrian bothered me about it. Cool. I went back to my room to find a surprise. My plain white bland room, wasn't so plain and bland anymore. Or white. Three of the walls were a soft light blue, 1 was still white. My bed had purple and blue blankets and green pillows. The furniture was still white, but it fit better. in the middle of the room was a medium sized round purple plush rug.

"Wow" I gasped.

"So I can safely assume you like it then?" I spun on my heel to find Adrian leaning against my wall smirking. I figured you should enjoy where you live so I had some servants work this up for you since your room was kind of lame and bland looking."

"Thanks, it's great, it really is." I muttered.

"Something wrong?" he asked....concerned? No I was imagining it. What did he care?

"Nothing" In a few quick strides he was inches away. He lifted my chin and I found myself trapped in his green orbs.

"Tell me, you can tell me anything. I mean you trust me, right?"

I looked away.

"Um i'm just tired thats all." I avoided his question, I thought I saw a flash of annoyance on his face but when I blinked it looked as plain and calm as always.

"Alright well, um night, oh and here."

He handed me a small dream catcher that was white with small feathers draping on the end of two strings. It had a few small golden and red beads on it.

"Sweet dreams." he mused as he left. I put the dream catcher over my bed, and for the first time since I came here when I drifted off, I had sweet dreams.
