Chapter 2

Most people expect to wake up in the same spot they fell asleep. If you don't wake up in that same spot you should be worried. I'm worried, Daniella thought as she looked around. She should of woken up in that old musky motel room. But no, instead she woke up in a nice elegant room on a king sized bed that had black pillows and a beautiful dark red silky bed spread.

As her eyes skimmed over the room she noticed the curtains seemed to match the color of the bed spread. She lifted the blanket off of herself carefully not wanting to ruin it and let her feet touch the plush maroon carpet. She looked down and noticed she was still in the same clothes she had fell asleep in which was her light blue jeans and her black tank top. She frowned when she suddenly realized her grey jacket was missing. But, when she looked on the black chair in the room there it was. She put it on and was thankful that no one actually changed her clothes. But none of this explained why she is not back at the motel.

Daniella quietly walked to the door and turned the knob. She winced a little when the door creaked as it opened. Her head poked out to see a long hallway with a bunch of different doors. She opened the door all the way and quietly stepped out. Now Daniella wasn't stupid, She knew to shut the door behind her. She slowly, but quietly walked down the hallway. When Daniella reached the end she noticed a set of stairs. She could of squealed with joy that she went the right way. Most girls would be crying or would at least feel some fear right now but Daniella felt nothing.

Last night was the first time she felt really anything in about three years since that day. Most would say she is cold hearted and that she have no heart. But in her own opinion, it sometimes feels that way. She carefully walked down the stairs as quietly as a person could and she would winced every time one of the steps would creek. She finally got to the bottom about fifteen stairs later and noticed the lights were on down stairs. Daniella frowned, she had a feeling this wouldn't be as easy anymore. Her point was proven when a lady spoke the moment her feet hit the hard tile floor.

"Oh you're up!" She looked and seen the girl was wearing a black dress that had a white apron on it. She looked like a maid. Daniella thought as she noticed the girl was holding a tray that had a fruit salad on it and a glass of orange juice.

"Who are you and where am I?" She asked quietly getting straight to the point.

"I'm sorry your majesty, i'm Jamie. You're in Lord Windsord's House." Jamie said not making eye contact with her. That confused Daniella. Your Majesty? Lord Windsord?

"How do I get out of here?" She asked.

"Lord Windsord said you're not allowed to leave." She said. "I'm sorry your majesty." She quickly added giving her an apologetic look.

"Well, where can I talk to this Lord Windsord?"Asked Daniella sharply. She was starting to get annoyed that she wasn't getting the answers she wanted.

"He is in his office." Jamie said and Daniella nodded.

"Can you please show me where his office is?" She asked and the lady shook her head and then gasped and looked worried as if she has done something wrong.

"I'm sorry, no. My Lord said you must eat before you speak to him." She said looking apologetic.

"It's fine. Where can I get some food then?" Daniella asked knowing it wasn't the girls fault and Jamie smiled brightly obviously happy.

"This tray was originally for you, your Majesty. Would you like to eat in the dining room?" She asked me and Daniella nodded.

"Can you please not call me that?" She asked as the 17 or 18 year old girl brought her into the kitchen.

"What would you like me to call you?" The girl asked her politely. Daniella hesitated if she should tell her real name or not. In the end she decided not to because Daniella didn't know this girl who knows she could be working for the police undercover.

"Izzy," Daniella said using her fake name.

"Okay. I hope you enjoy, Devon, the cook made it for you. If you need anything don't hesitate to call me. I will be right outside the dining room, your- Izzy." The maid corrected while she flashed Daniella a bright smile before curtsying and walking out. Daniella was confused by her friendliness, no one has ever been that nice to her when they were first meeting.

Except for the man last night.

That was one of the rare occasions. She thought and frowned when she realized she never got that man's name but he has hers. Well her fake name anyways. Daniella grabbed the tray and started to walk towards what she could guess is the kitchen since the other door she walked in at. She pushed open the door and gasped quietly at how nice it was.

This house was completely beautiful.It has so many nice, antique things. It's like this "house" was taken out of one of those catalogs. She thought, The reason she says house with quotes is because it's actually the size of a mansion.

Daniella noticed a man was standing in the kitchen talking to a girl who had a long black braid on her back. She had pale looking skin and she was wearing a long flower pattern skirt and a purple tank top. The man had blond hair that laid flat on his head and was wearing a black tuxedo but without the coat on. They both looked up when they heard the door open and gasped. The man bowed and quickly grabbed the tray from her hands.That must be Devon the cook, she thought as he brought the tray to the sink.

"You must be Izzy! It's so nice to meet you. My brother has told me so much about you and he wasn't kidding when he said you were beautiful." The girl said pulling her into a hug. Daniella flinched away a little but the girl just held on tighter making her uncomfortable.

"No need to be so shy! We're basically family." The girl said pulling away and smiling. By now Daniella was beyond confused. Your majesty? The bowing? Already family?

"What is going on in this place? Why must you all bow and call me your Majesty?" Daniella finally asked as she was beyond annoyed. The girl frowned as she shared a look with the cook.

"You don't know do you?" The girl asked with wide eyes and Daniella just raised an eyebrow.

"No, she does not know Anna." A man said walking in. She quickly noticed it was the same man from last night. The girl, Anna said a quick sorry before rushing out of the room.

"You're that man from last night! You brought me here didn't you! How did you even know where I lived?" Daniella asked furious.

"Devon leave us." The man demanded.

"Yes, your royal highness." Devon said with a quick bow before walking-well more like running out of the room.

"The names Alexander Windsord but you may call me Alex." Alexander said leaning against the counter smirking.
