Chapter one.

I yawn as hear the bell. Time to get out of bed. Sometimes I wish I could sleep for as long as I want, but Sophia Dolores Capetella never rests. I stare at the mirror and study myself. I looked like a mess. My strawberry blond hair was all tangled and my eyes where a boring blue as usual. I have to say, I hate having blue eyes. Some people want to have them but I don't. Hear in Spain they don't stand out at all and besides I'm a maid,well the Queens maid.

"Sophie! Where are you?"

My thoughts get interrupted by Lea who is a maid just like me, but also my best friend.

"I'm up! I'm up!"I croak.

Lea comes into my room and stares at me with disbelief.

"You call that getting up?" She says with a scoff.

I look at Lea. I guess I'm not out of bed when I have the blanket on me and my head resting between the pillow.

"Give me a minute." I sigh with a laugh.

Lea starts laughing."Oh sure I'll give you a minute, thats how much time it takes to get you fired and in trouble! You're the Queens maid! You think there aren't others who want your place!"

"I know, I know!" I tell Lea. She rolls her eyes.

Lea exits my room and I start getting dressed. After I got dressed I went to the kitchen to make sure the queens breakfast was made. Once I walked into the kitchen I could already smell freshly picked strawberries and coffee. I see a plate with a sausage and a omelet.

"Mae is the Queens food ready yet?" I ask.

Mae is the cooks helper, well one of them.

Mae replies "Yes Sophie, everything is done, you know you're late?

I stare at Mae and than I look at the clock. Oh no, I'm an hour late! I grab the Queens tray and bolt right out of the room. I hurry up the grand stairs and walk down the hall toward the queens bed chamber. I get to her door and I knock slightly. Knowing already that I was for sure going to get yelled at.

"Come in." The queen says coldly

I walk in and I gave the queen her tray with a trembling hand. I was to scared to even look at her.

"Well look who showed up. Where were you Sophie, you're late again." She says harshly.

I flinched back by the harshness in her voice. Afraid of even saying a word I said and did nothing.

"SOPHIE ANSWER THIS MINUTE!" She screams.

I hate getting yelled at especially by the queen. I decide to answer quick and to tell the truth, even though she might lock me in the cellar again.

"I over slept your majesty." I answer simply, trying to not stutter because that would get me punished even more.

The queen starts laughing.

"Oh Sophie, what did I tell? Hmm? If you over SLEPT again?" She says coldly.

I look down to frightened to look into the queens eyes, afraid of seeing the hatred in her eyes. Why does she hate me? What have I done? I decide to keep quiet.

"THAT I WOULD THROW YOU INTO THE CELLAR!" She yells again.

I squint as she yells at me.

"Get out of my sight Sophie, before I get up and murder YOU!"
