The sun peeked in my bedroom window, lighting my hair like a fiery halo. I lifted my head from the pillow, my curly hair tumbling down my back like a waterfall. The suns vibrant rays sent a glossy, gold sheen all around the room, blending with the falling leaves of Autumn. I closed my eyes yet again, the suns waking rays warming my body.

My mind is fuzzy, the last remnants of a dream being chased away by the realisation that I am awake again. It was a nice dream, something about sitting in a big oak tree in meadow full of flowers but the details are fading fast even as I try to recall them. With a mental sigh I allow my brain to focus and cautiously open one eye. The bright spring sunlight cuts the room in half and I see dust-motes dancing in the wall of light. I pull the duvet up over my head to keep it out. It's not going to work, my brain is awake now and already worrying about ....Him.

Then I realised that I didn't pack anything yesterday and I had completely forgotten about the tour that Jaxton was supposed to give me. Shi-I mean crap. I jumped out bed, my feet touching the cold marble floor, making me recoil back. I slowly put my foot down, and walked to what was a walk-in closet. My clothes, which was hung in a corner of the room, was nothing in comparison to the others that were there. Are these all for me? They must have been worth thousands. I reached out my hand to touch a silk dress, afraid to rip it. It had seemed so fragile. However, they all would seem dull on me.

Such a waste.

Did he think he could buy my soul with this?

I scoffed, heading toward, my own clothes. Choosing a turtle-neck sweater and a pair of shorts, I walked out of the room.

After walking around for a while, it hit me that I've been so stupid. I didn't even know this place. Now, I am completely and hopelessly lost. Luckily, I saw a guy walk past me.

"Hey. Excuse me." I said as he gradually slowed down and turned around. "You're the girl Jaxy brought back." He mocked after taking a look at me. It couldn't help but laugh. "Jaxy? Where did you get that from?"

We both burst into laughter. "I'm his precious Cousin, Cedric." He said introducing himself.

"Well, you probably already know me, so kind tell me where 'Jaxy' is?" I hinted, lightly bumping his shoulder against mine.

"Instead of just telling you, why don't I be the perfect gentlemen I am and show you where it is instead?" I cocked my eyebrows. "I was heading there in the first place." He remarked as I hooked my hand into his.

As we walked into the dining room, which was not surprisingly also humongous and grand. I felt the heated stares that were on me at once. The awkward Silence in the air made me feel extremely self-conscious. Jaxton looked at me with amusement dancing in his eyes. What am I going to do now? I was sort of frozen to the spot but at the same time not. Why in the world was I feeling nervous? I looked over to Cedric, who was already seated down. There was nowhere else to sit, but at the right hand side of Jaxton. He, obviously, was seated at the head of the table.

Seated on his left, was another girl. One look at her and I felt sick. She had makeup caked on her face and her clothes were a tad little too revealing. Who was I kidding? She was better off prancing around naked. Tell me, what is the definition of a 'slut'? It's Someone who sleeps with everyone, even the guy that has no shot at getting laid and everyone knows it. She will give him a sympathy fuck either because someone asked her to or she just has to fuck everyone she knows. But I know they ain't all that bad. I don't know why. I just. had a feeling that I couldn't tolerate her. Why? I usually never hate anyone without a good reason.

Though none of the people here are actually bad looking, I bet that more than half of them has already fell into her clutches. I sat down, as Cedric looked at me worriedly, his eyes following my every move. I rolled my eyes and started to dig in. The food. I... was at a lost of words as the first bite of my scrambled eggs. How could something so simple taste so good? My meals back at hom-I mean the old castle, our breakfast usually included of a carbohydrate-rich food such as grains or cereals, fruit, vegetables, a protein-rich food such as eggs, meat or fish, and a beverage such as tea, coffee, milk, or fruit juice. Breakfast cereals, pancakes, waffles, sausages, French toast, bacon, sweetened breads, fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, baked beans, muffins, crumpets and toast with butter, margarine, jam or margarine were considered as appetisers.

Despite such a large variety of food, the food pales in comparison to the food her. As I was enjoying the food, I couldn't help but to notice that the she was a little too close to Jaxton. I couldn't help but to tighten the grip on the fork. The feeling of jealousy and anger washed over me. I didn't even want to acknowledge them, but it was inevitable. This heart of mine, what is wrong with you? I barely even know him, down to even his Favourite Colour. Yet, why do I experience these feelings?

"Open wide Jac. " She crooned as I cringed. I couldn't take this anymore, I felt so sick and was tempted to just vomit in front of everyone. "I'm done. Please excuse me. " Pushing my chair back, I stood up again as all eyes trailed me again. I heard Cedric excuse himself too and follow after me. It comforted me to know that I at least had a Friend in this 'castle'.
