Chapter 5 - Chapter Five

I gasp as my eyes fluttered open and my eyes widened, remembered going after a certain guy to return his wallet and I shuddered ,fell into the swimming pool and now I am where I didn't even know what make out of, in a large bathtub filled with water, I quickly got up and my clothes drenched with water still in my bum short and tank top, I removed my shoes as I stepped out of the bathroom only for me to enter into a big room , the bed was massive, the room itself screamed luxury after feeding my eyes, I stepped out of the room , I don't where I was and my stomach grumbled I was hungry ok I first satisfy my tummy before I make out where I was and how the hell I got here, taking slow step and I saw staircase leading down followed the path as reached down there where many pathways leading to different places I guessed wooh this actually looks like a castle in fairytale I said to myself, I took a path which led me to a place which was buzzling , I entered the place which I presumed to be the kitchen and everything or rather everyone stood still.

 I widened my eyes as I saw women who I think where the cooks and all of them stared at me like I was a ghost, Hi; I greeted no one answered still with staring, Sorry I said I don't know how I got here and where this place is but please can get something to eat , I'm hungry as I was still pleading for food someone dressed in a black and white corporate wear, walked in with shock on his face but he schooled his expression; I'm Theodore the butler of the Donovan mansion and who might you be; everything felt as if I was in a dream and the hunger was getting me light headed, I opened my mouth to tell my name and explain that I don't know how I got here until Well well; what do we have here, everybody there bowed their head as they greeted my lady, was this some kind of joke my lady in this twenty first century, I looked at the woman who has a sharp features, thin brows and her lips tinted pink she looked at me with disgust and I became aware of how my cloth was different front other well that was less of my priority, Theodore she called yes my lady, who is this and why is weirdly dressed, she asked well could say the same for her who dresses in a gown that they could trip and fall with a corset that one could hardly breathe typical of a lady I think we'll from movies and novels I know how they dress , My lady I was about asking her that before you came; everyone was passing like we didn't exist people I assumed were the maids . She tipped her chin as she asked me my name, I'm Zinnia I replied and the next question left me dumbfounded ' are you a thief , what?? I asked and she mumbled ;it seems you don't know how to respect royalty especially when it comes to King's fiancee she spat. Excuse you, first I'm not a thief and I don't know the hell how I got here I almost yelled, I was getting frustrated with whatever was going on.

 Slap; she landed me a slap and said who was I to talk to her,mere peasant speaking back at her, and I immediately returned the slap and everyone inside the kitchen froze and continued what they were doing, She held her cheeks, dropped her hand and told the butler to get the guards to take me to the dungeon , What I screamed in my head, dungeon? How?? Miss I said there seems to be a misunderstanding here, I don't even where this or why I'm here I pleaded, she smirked at me as the guards dragged me away.
