Arsela's POV

I slowly opened my eyes before quickly shutting them again due to the light that hurt my eyes. I tried to slowly open my eyes again so as to adjust to the light.

I was in a room alright. I sat up as I looked around the room. It was large, like my room back at Sandy Hills times three or four larger?. I got up from the bed and looked around as i walked slowly... I was back to normal, I had no pain, I felt no cold or heat... My temperature was normal.. Thank the Heavens... I walked to the large window that was at one side of the room. The window was a floor to ceiling one that actually showed off the large garden that was in the middle of... The castle? I was in a castle??. Is this where my grandparents lived?.

I turned quickly to look at the room. The magnificent four poster large bed at the centre of the room, a walk in closet that was beside a door that lead, perhaps to the bathroom?. Beside the window was a desk and several books on it while the other side was a cute dressing table... The room was great.. I breathed out as I approached the dressing table.... I was stricken by surprise, I had been cleaned up and changed into a long sleeved light green dress... Why hadn't I noticed this before?. Oh, I know this was my grandma's doing so I wouldn't mind that much since I'm used to her giving me bubble baths and seeing me with nothing on top.

The door opened and I turned to see grandma, with that neat bun of hers, a white pearl necklace on her neck and white pearled studs on her ears and was dressed in a long sleeved cream white dress just like mine but hers had a different design... She wore that sweet smile of hers but she looked... Different. It was as if I was looking back at my grandma whom I was used to seeing everyday of my life but she felt different today, as if she had changed overnight. I mirrored back her smile as I tried to push back the thoughts of grandma having changed behind my mind.

"I'm glad you are awake sweetie". She said firmly but still her voice had that sweetness that she only directed to me.

"Yeah". Is all that I said.

She let go of the door knob and took steps close to me as her dress sweeped the clean white tiled floor as she walked. Her back straight and hands at her sides.

She looked magnificent. I had never seen this side of her before.

Two young ladies, older than me, appeared through the door way, were both in baby pink dresses but were not as long as mine nor Grandma's... They reached at the ankles and they had white aprons tied on their waists... They must be maid servants according to the way they were dressed in the same attire and they had their heads bowed. Grandma turned to look at them then back at me as her smile disappeared a little. The ladies kept their heads bowed and didn't move.

I looked at them then back at Grandma. She really owed me one big explanation and I knew that she had seen that expression on my face before she started talking.

"Arsela, this is your room henceforth and these two". She said as she pointed at them with her hand as she turned to face them. "Will be your hand maidens... They will teach you how to dress properly, talk, walk and behave...". I cut her short.

"Dress and behave properly?". I asked as I looked at my dress then up at the ladies and back at Grandma. Had I never behaved, dressed properly before?.
