The Soot Princess [Hiatus]

35

Eevon

"So..."

My stomach growled for food. Loudly.

"Are you hungry?" the Prince asked.

"Famished... And tired."

"Why don't I unpack for you and you can lay down on the bed for a bit?"

"No!" I screamed.

"Why not?"

"My bras and underwear is in there!"

"So, it's not all that uncommon," he replies nonchalantly.

"It's still private!" I yelled and threw a pillow at him. Bullzeye! Right in the face.

"Ow!"

I threw another one for good measure.

"Again! Seriously?"

"Yep, now get out, so I can unpack." I lay a hand on another pillow.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'm going."

"Wait..." I said. "I twisted my name, it's really Eevon."

He turned around and to go back into the room. "Well, it's finally nice to meet you, Eevon." He held out his hand to me.

"You should save that for later. You still haven't met me yet."

"By the way, if you see a set of keys, give them to me." He left the room at that point and I fingered them in my shorts pocket.

I lifted my suitcase up onto the bed. Being as light as it is, it wasn't that hard, but then thinking things through I decided against unpacking. I'll be back at the North Street Orphanage in no time. They will tire of me and become impatient. They always do.

I heard my stomach rumble again. Obviously, it's time for food. I opened the door, when I realized I didn't know where anything is. Not the bathroom, not the kitchen, not the front gates, not the dining room, and not even where I was. I slammed the door and sulked back into my room. Upon my immediate departure from the door there was a soft knock.

"Come in."

"Hello, My Lady, how may I be of service?"

"Who are you and where did you come from?"

"I am Bella, My Lady..."

"And drop the my lady stuff."

"Yes ma' am."

Palm to face, palm, to, face.

"I am from Spain."

"No, I meant, there was no one in the hall and then... oh never mind."

"Do you need anything, miss?"

"Um, yeah, where is the kitchen?"

"The kitchen miss?"

"Yeah and the dining room," I stated.

"It is almost time for dinner, so why don't I take you to the dining hall now, miss?"

"Okay and you can stop with the miss, I'm no one important."
