I opened my eyes and was blinded by the sudden light. As I regained my focus, I noticed the silk sheet covering me and the red canopy top that lined the bed I was laying in. The room I now found myself in was small but cosy, there was a chandlerie hanging, a plant that was dead in the corner, and a man sitting a chair across the room watching my every move.
"Ah!" I screamed as I noticed the shadowed figure. He had surprised me so much that I had fallen off the cozy bed. "W...Who are you?" He smiled at me, but not a cruel uncomfortable smile, a welcoming simile.
"I am your host, Ms. Rose. I mean you no hard nor anyone else here. Please, if you wouldn't mind, change into the outfit picked out for you. I will wait outside while you change." He bowed and walked out of the room.
I looked at the dress that was set out for me, (Alice's Crimson Dress) it was nice and looked like something none of the villigers could afford. The villigers! I just remembered, the battle, what had happened to everyone? I dropped the elegant gown and ran out the door. My 'host' saw me and looked a bit surprised.
"Why are you not changed? Is the gown not good enough? We can get another outfit if you wish it but I have to admit that..."
"The villigers, the battle, what happened? Where is everyone?" I was surprised at how loud I was screaming, I did not know at the time how angry I was.
My 'host' looked to the ground in silence. "I am...not able to tell you any of that. If you wish to know, only He can anwser you."
"Fine then, He will anwser me once you take me to Him." I put my hands on my hips and stood up in a powerful position.
"He said that He will not look at you until you are fully rid of your pesant attire." My 'host' pointed back into the room, I went in and did as I was told. Once I was dressed I was led down chambers into what appeared to be a dinning hall. A table set for two was in the middle. "Please sit. He will be with you in a moment." My 'host' bowed and left the hall.
As I looked around, I noticed a red curtain behind the chair at the other end of the table. Two knights were gaurding the curtain.
"At last, we finally meet! It has taken much too long for me to finally see you, Rose." He had arrived. He came out from behind the red curtain, he was wearing a black suit, he had short brown hair, a scar below his left eye, and looked excited to see me. He sat down on the empty chair at the table. "May I just say you look stunning in that outfit. I knew you would, but I was just surprised to see how right I was about you." He smiled at me, his white teeth shinning like perls.
"I have some questions for you." I said, trying to conceal my anger. Who did He think He was? Acting like we're good friends or something.
"But of course you do, I suppose you are wondering about what became of the pesants and how you got here." I nodded that He could continue on for those were two of my questions. "Well, I told my knights to only kill as much as they had to or else I could lose money off of them, so they did. Those who lives were spared, are now in my dungens and their fates will be decided eventually. Now about you, well, I orderd my most trusted guard to bring you to me but to not hurt you. She couldn't do both though, because she knew you would struggle and cause more damage than nesisary, so she simply knocked you out and brought you to me."
"Why am I brought to you? Why am I spared? I should be killed as I am the leader of this battle." I was growing more angry by the second.
"Oh my plans for you involves you being alive." He smirked.
"Really? Tell me about these plans for I need to know if I am going to be involved in them or not." I smirked right back.
"It's easy really, I want the trust of the pesants back and the only way I can get that, is if I have your trust, and what better way to show that I do have your trust than by having you as my bride." He smiled, showing off the glimmering perls as I sat their, stunned, with my mouth hanging open, outraged.
