Ancient Dragons

I have had a rough life here in America. I barely passed college and I have had no luck finding and keeping a job. And I definitely haven't found any love here. I can't believe things turned out like this.
Until everything changed.

I woke up in the middle of the night to shuffling footsteps outside my 1 bedroom apartment. I waved it off thinking it might just be someone taking their dog out. I couldn't fall back alseep, so off to the kitchen I went to grab a glass of water. I gulped down every drop and set the glass down carefully. All of the sudden I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.
Everything went cold and dark.

I woke up in a gigantic room with walls littered with scrolls and paintings of dragons. One painting caught my eye, two dragons twisted around each other. I snapped out of it, remembering I was somewhere unfamiliar. Was I abducted? Then I realized that there were maybe 20 people standing with their hands folded in front of them. They were standing in front of a beautiful red carved door. It had Chinese scripture carved into it.

I stopped and took a deep breath. I can't be across the world. Back in Asia...

A man shifted his body weight at the foot of the bed I was in. I looked at him. Dark hair, amber eyes, and a small smile that didn't look genuine.

"Welcome home, Princess".
