Eternally Yours

Scars From The Past

How in the world did a secret universe have such amazing plumbing?The shower was nice and amazing. The shampoo, conditioner, and soapfelt amazing and you were nice and clean. Jason and Lily were outdoing some kind of royal duties so you took the time to wash up andhopefully read up on some more history. They had left you plenty toread and of course you could leave whenever you wanted but didn'tknow how to get around anywhere. You could only go to the cafeteriaand so knew nowhere else to go.

Most of the other elves thought you just a human that had wanderedin. The guards and Mary-Ann were the only ones who knew who you'really' were. They said that they would introduce you as who youreally were after the ritual if you chose to stay with them.

You dressed in a comfortable pair of (basketball shorts/sweatpants)and a (tank top/short sleeved shirt) and after drying your hair youput the towels in the hamper and headed out. You smiled seeingMary-Ann who was just finishing up making the bed.

"Hello Mary-Ann," you greeted her and she smiled and bowedlightly to you, not doing a full curtsy but still showing respect.

"Hello Name, is there anything I can get for you?" She asked andyou shook your head.

"No, I'm good but thank you Mary-Ann." You then bit your lip, "Icould probably take care of cleaning this room." You told her andshe looked at you shocked.

"Do I not clean it to your liking?" She asked looking a bitworried and you gasped realizing that you had insulted her.

"Oh no Mary-Ann! It's just that I hate to have you having to cleanthe room, I try to keep it straightened but I never make the bed."You had never really liked making the bed unless you were changingthe sheets, never saw the point considering you'd just crawl backinto bed at the end of the day anyway.

"Oh that is fine, you keep it nice and clean anyway Name, I justhave to make the bed and do a quick dusting. Then the bathroom justwipe things down, it is a lot nicer then the others rooms." Shesighed and you frowned.

"Do others leave a lot of mess?"

"Some do." She shook her head and smiled, "but they have veryhard jobs as well, some are up from sun up to sun down! They only getsix hours to wash up and sleep six days a week!" She shook herhead, "I am defiantly getting the better end of the deal."

"Who works that much?" You asked shocked, that seemed cruel...

"The guards, not the warriors but the generals and Head Guard. Theyhave to check all the time and do surprise checks on the peoplemaking rounds." She explained and gave a smile and you smiled ather as well but were getting antsy. Were you expected to be locked upin a room all month? Working you'd think that a month spent in acastle would be nice but it felt so...you'd be getting cabin feversoon.

"Well I must go Name, have a good day." Mary-Ann waved and yousmiled and waved to.

"Okay Mary-Ann, if you need help with anything I am more thenwilling to help." You added and she giggled as she left the roomand you sat down at your vanity. It was the bare vanity at one timebut had been put up with a brush for you to use to brush your hair,as well as some lotions for you as well.
