Forced Upon; Chapter Two
When I awoke I was in complete darkness except for a faint light coming from my window. I apparently forgot to close the curtains in my anger, but it helped now, for I could see the sun was getting ready to rise over the horizon. I stared out of them, and then I slowly made my way out of the disaster of my blankets, and walked carefully to the balcony. I leaned against the bar again and the icy cold ocean breeze felt like it was splashing against my face, which was enough to wake me up and realize how parched my throat was. I shivered and turned to get robe so if anyone saw me downstairs, at least I would be decent.
I slowly made my way down the stairs, the large room as dark as midnight, making me cling onto the wall to make sure I don’t fall head over heels. No one is ever awake this early in the house, servants or other, and not wanting to wake anyone and make a scene, I carefully placing one foot on each stair and after each step holding my breath to make sure noone heard me. Is this what a burglar must go through? I thought to myself. Who would go through so much trouble? And I had half the mind to go back to my room, and just wait until morning, but something made me continue on. So I proceeded my slow process down the stairs.
Finally, I sighed quietly as I placed both feet carefully on the ground. I didn’t know how long that took, but I realized to my disgust that now I was no longer thirsty. I resisted the urge to kick the wall, my anger not fully blown off from last night. I turned to go back up the stairs, but looked up them, my eyes now finely adjusted to the darkness, and decided against it. I turned back around and started to take another step forward when I heard a voice. I froze in my tracks and listened carefully. I could hear voices in another room, and from what I could tell, it was the same room as last night. I quietly sprinted across the large room to reach the doorway which lead to the room the voices were coming from.
The door was slightly ajar, much to my advantage, and I carefully sat back on my heels, making sure I was as quiet as I could be, until I was comfortable and able to listen to the conversation. No sooner than I settled I heard a voice that I did not recognize speak very suddenly. “What was that?” The voices stopped, and with them I stopped my breathing.
