The next few days passed by slowly. Guards were sent to aid me in cleaning myself and after that I was locked in a room with only a bed and a few bottles of blood. I spent most of my time contemplating my life and what was and wasn't true.

When I met Elijah I was 17. I had grown up on a farm and being an only child meant that I was used to being spoiled. Elijah was 20 the summer we met and 23 when he proposed to me. Spending years with someone is a special thing. You learn all of their quirks and I fell in love with all of his. He knew what he wanted, worked hard and treated me well.

How it went from giggles and warmth to bites and dark castles- I'm not sure. My mind replays every memory I have of him, looking for  any sign of deception. I come up empty.

There is movement outside of my door for the first time in a week and I quickly jump up to face whatever hell is waiting for me on the other side.

A maid stepped in- a girl who looked around my age. Her smile greeted me and for the first time since I arrived, I didn't feel afraid.

"Hello- I'm Alice", she stated.

"Im Amelia", I whispered back. We stood there staring at each for a few moments after I uttered my name. Alice smiled at me again and stuck her hand out.

"Come, the Queen is waiting on you Amelia".
