Another World

•••

My eyes widened as I rubbed both hands on my face. I looked down at where I was lying. I was back in my room after that emotional conversation with Elton last night.

Did he give me sleeping pills or anything? I don't even remember falling my body onto this soft mattress.

I combed my hair using my right hand and stood up. There's a window in front of my bed. I walked towards it and slowly opened both windows.

A beautiful garden greeted me with 'good morning.' The garden is indeed majestic, tons of flowers were blooming, and horses were being fed. There was a wall covering the whole kingdom, but you could still see what was on the other side.

It was full of darkness. Probably a forest because I saw some trees, but it was pretty creepy if you'd ask me. 

My sightseeing was interrupted by someone knocking on my door. I turned around as I saw the doorknob moving.

"Who is it?"

"Lady, it's me, Elton. Could you join me later?" It's Elton.

"Um, where?" I scratched the back of my head and yawned a little.

"A tour here in the palace." Oh.

"Alright," I said softly. 

"Okay, I'll be waiting here until you finish dressing up."

Wait until forever, kidnapper.

I went into the bathroom again and removed all my clothes. I need to take a bath; I feel like I stink already. And that's not good.

After taking a bath, picking out clothes from Edna (the maid I puked on) that she sent before I slept last night, and fixing my hair. I'm ready now.

I looked at myself at the vanity table inside my room as I tied my hair into a bun. I felt my stomach growled.

That's a sign. I need to get out of my room and eat. Or else, I'll die.

A hint of bitterness crawled on my lips. I can remember a memory of my mom and me. Mother scolded me because I overslept. Mom hates it if I skip breakfast because I need to sleep.

"Lady Devina." I went back to reality and saw Edna standing in front of me.

"The King and Prince Elton are waiting for you in the dining room."

I thought he was going to wait for me?

"Oh, okay, thank you." She nodded at me and gestured me towards the dining room.

As usual, I'm sitting right next to the King while Prince Elton is in front of me. The whole lunch made me think deeply. I kept thinking of a way to get a hold of a telephone to call my mom from here. Or declare me as a missing person.

"Are you okay, Lady Devina?" Elton snapped his fingers in front of me with a creased forehead.

"I'm sorry, I just feel weird," I replied.
