Once in a Blue Moon

Chapter 7.

I am feeling so thirsty, am I actually going to die of thirst? Oh no, please. I just want to escape from here.
I am feeling weak and dehydrated. My tongue has totally dried up.
"Hello! Please let me go! I have not done any harm to you then why?" I scream.
I feel like I am losing my power to even scream anymore.

"Isabelle!" someone hiss.
I hold the bars of the jail and peep out.
I can see a girl approximately of my age or a bit older than me. She do not have green eyes, instead they are violet. "Here, have some water." she says and offers me some water.
Why is she offering me water? Is she unaware of his orders? and how does she know my name?
"Who are you?" I ask her.
"I am Rossana." she replies.
"How do you know my name?" I question her again.
"Because I know you." she replies me.
"How do you know me? Am I a famous foreigner? and why are you offering me water? Don't you know what that person ordered?"
"You ask too many questions. If you want to drink water then be quick." she says.
"First tell me who are you to him." I say.
"Who are you talking about?" she asks.
"The man with ugly face and intolerable creepy attitude." I reply.
"Oh, I am his sister."
His sister! Oh, she must be like him. Is she offering me poisonous water? Well, That is possible.
Why are they trying to kill me?

"Oh, then this water must be poisonous, isn't it?" I say. sarcastically.
"Well, its not poisonous. You can drink it."
"Really? How can I believe you after realizing that you are his sister, of course, like him you must also be trying to kill me."
"Isabelle, you can trust me." she says calmly.
Well I don't know if I should trust her or not but I am too thirsty.
I can't let go off my reputation just for water, what if she is really tricking me.
"Hold on! you are thinking too much." Rossana says.
She orders a servant to bring an empty glass.
The servant brings an empty glass as ordered.
She pours some water into the glass and drinks it.
"Satisfied! Now if anything happens to you because of this water, it will happen to me before. Now drink it before anyone finds out." she says.
I actually did not expected her to do this.

She passes the glass through the space between the bars. I take the glass and drink the water.
I felt alive again.
"Want some more?" she asks.
"A bit more will help." I reply.
"Sure."
She raises her right palm above the glass and move her fingers in a up and down manner. Some sparkles and glitter appear. Water appears in the bottom most level of the glass and it slowly rises up.
Oh my god, What is this?
I step backwards.
"Oh god!" I exclaim in a very slow voice. I am breathing faster than before.
"What happened? Why are you so shocked?" she asks me. Is she asking me this on purpose?
"What did you just do?" I ask.
"Magic, I suppose."
"Black magic or sorcery, I think." I reply.
"No, its magic." she says.
"All people living here can do this sorcery?" I ask.
"Yes, everyone and its magic not sorcery, again."
"People always change the real definition of magic. Magic is not exactly what people think it is, saying a magic spell and let things happen regardless good or bad is not magic, its sorcery. Magic is something through which another person gets happy. Magic is meant to make people happier through a person. In the most kindest touch lies magic. In reality if anywhere magic exists, its in the goodness and kindness of people." I reply.

" You are still the same." she remarks.
She passes me the glass again and I drink the water inside the glass.

If everyone has magic then anyone can escape anytime from the castle excluding me?

"Can the servants escape anytime they want?" I ask.
"Not exactly, they are not allowed to perform magic inside the castle."
" They can perform, until unless no one is watching them." I reply her.
"Right, until unless no one is watching them, that's the main problem, his eye is everywhere." she says, while looking around.
"Whose eye?"
"The one on whose order you are here."
"Is it the same person who came in here a while ago?" I ask her.
"He never comes out, but he rules all. " she says. "Who came here a while ago?"
"The one who gave the water order."
"He came here?" she asks.
"He gave the order in front of me."
"And you are still alive. Did he not passed his sword right through your heart?" She says and laughs a little.
"Today, the God is on my side, I guess." I reply her.
She smiles.

Rossana don't have green eyes, I have already mentioned that before.
She belongs here but still she don't have green eyes. Why?
Should I ask her? What if she also gets in trouble like me? She lives in this castle, people must've noticed.

"You don't have green eyes." I say to her.
"Yes, I don't."
"Do people know about this?"
"Yes, they do." she replies.
"I have blue eyes, that is the reason they got to know that I don't belong here, you have violet eyes and you are a member of the royal family, I don't get it." I say.
"It's a complicated matter, you won't understand it." she says.
"Why will I not understand?"
"Because you have forgotten everything, Isabelle. It is harder to explain you about where you are, until unless you don't remember anything.
You don't remember a thing about what happened before with you, you don't recognize anyone, you are completely blank about everything! It has been five years Isabelle, and still you don't remember anything." she says and sighs.
Who is she? How does she know about my memory loss? How can she know the exact number of years?
"Who are you?" I ask her.
"It does not matter, anyways it's not your fault." she replies.
What am I not remembering? I cannot remember anything actually.
But what is she talking about?
"What is it that I cannot remember?" I ask.
"Everything, the only thing you know about yourself is your name and that too because it is written on your hand."
"How do you know?" I ask.
This matter is becoming far too confusing.
A nerve in my head coming from my spinal cord starts to pain very hard. I catch my head on its left side, a bit tightly to get some relieve from the pain, it often works when I get similar pains in head, this time its not working. I feel like my nerve is going to burst out.
"Are you okay?" she asks me.
"I guess."
"Don't pressurise yourself."

I hope I remember everything soon.

I want to ask her one question from a long time.

"Can I ask you one more thing?" I ask her.
"Sure."
"Can you people randomly change your eye color?" I asked.
"No!" she exclaims.
" Then how did he changed his eye colour from green to brown color?" I ask her.
"Who changed?" she asks.
"Your brother, who came here before. To golden brown colour."
"Oh my god!" she exclaims. "Did you said him something?"
"No, why would I say something? I just told him my name only because he asked."

She smiles and says, "Right now it will be better if you give your brain a little rest and don't get yourself included in these matters."
"Why?" I ask her. I actually did not meant to ask but it just popped out of my mouth, god knows why.
She whispers slowly, "Because you are already included since five years."
"What!" I exclaim.
