"Erika, it's time to wake up." Sebastian walked to the curtains and pushed them to the side, flooding the room with the morning sun. I peeled open my eyes and squinted as I saw the blinding light. Sitting up, I look to my left and see that Ciel was gone. Did he rise before me? I tought to myself as Sebastian walked over to my side of the bed.
"Sebastian, what time is it?" I asked as I scratched my head.
"9:30 in the morning, Erika." He answered almost immediately. I've always wondered why Sebastian called me by my name, and never 'My Lady' or 'Miss' or something like that.
"Where's my father?" came my voice, after a sec of silence.
"He had some buisness in town today, and won't be back until late tonight. And here is this list that you had ordered for me to get. There's a total of 35 men that are to be married." He handed me a thin stack of paper and the first one on the list that I read is Pince Lane of the Southern Boarder.
"Now, if you would please get ready for the day. Your going to have company in ten minutes. It's Prin-"
"Prince Lane of the Soutern Boarder, right? Ok." I finished Sebastian's sentence. Pushing the covers off my legs, I jumped off my massive bed with a thud. Sebastian bowed, and turned to leave my room. The door clicked shut.
"Ugh.....I don't want to wear a dress today!" I complained to myself as I undressed in front of the full body mirror hanging on the bak of my closet door. My head didn't even reach the middle of the mirror. *Sigh* sighing in disapproval to how short I am, I decided to wear my 6in. heels, with my turquoise and dark green dress.
"Sebastian?" I called out into the hallway, my head poing out of my door.
"Yes, Erika??" He was instantly in front of me, and I jumped back a little.
"Could you send in Mey-Rin? I need some help with my dress." I spoke with a slight shake in my voice. He definetly not human! I thought to myself as I saw Sebastian agree to the orders, bow, and leave.
In five minutes, I heard three knocks on my door. "Come in!" I called to her. Mey-Rin, the only maid in the huge house, came in and walked forward to me. "Can you please tie this, my arms are getting tired of holding the ribbon behind my back." I explained to her.
"Why didn't you just drop them until I got here?" She asked back at me.
"Yeah, well um....that's the thing. I can't put my arms down. I think something got stuck in my shoulders..." I answered.
*Knock* *Knock* "Erika, Pirnce Lane is here to see you." Sebastian talked through the door.
"What?!" I asked in shock, "Um.....Tell him that I'll be down in 20 minutes." I shouted to him to do so.
"I understand" his feet hit the carpeted floor with every step he took as he left to door.
"We need to fix me, now!" I exclaimed to Mey-Rin. She bowed her head in agreenceto my oder. It took ten minutes to get my arms to go back down to their sides.
"Thanks Mey-Rin!" I sounded relieved when I thanked her. As I hurried to the back of my closet to grab my dark blue, 6 in. wedges, I turned my eye color to the royal blue that I had learned to do the day before. I slipped the heels on and tried not to fall flat on my face.
I picked up my dress as I went down the stairs, slow, and carefully with elegance and skill. Prince Lane stood at the bottom of the stairs. Lane is tall, with medium long white blonde hair. As I grew closer, he seemed to have dark blue eyes; but the closer I grew towards him, I noticed the small gray flakes in the iris'. But I had to admit that he is good looking.
