"Princess," a loud voice called out to her and it was followed by incessant knocking.
Mauve was pulled out of her sleep with force. The knocks weren't that loud but for some reason, it felt like the banging was happening in her head. She sat up and the room spun.
"Whoa," she said, grabbing her head.
She held it in her palm for a few seconds as she waited for the room to stop spinning. It was a bit odd that it was spinning even with her eyes closed.
After a couple of seconds, it stopped and she opened her eyes, her head still felt heavy and she could feel the start of an ache. Nothing was more annoying than waking up with a headache.
She pushed herself out of the bed. From the light streaming through the window, the sun was out and by the intensity, it had been out for quite some time now.
"Princess," the voice called again. It sounded like it belonged to a young girl.
