A lone figure dressed in black walked up to a room and opened it. The figured walked over to the window and opened the curtains. It walked to a door that lead to the bathroom. The figure filled the bathtub with warm water and added a fragrance of vanilla. The figure walked out of the bathroom and towards the figured that laid on the bed being covered by a dark silk blanket.

"Mistress, it's time to get up" the figure spoke.

The figure in bed shifted, and slowly a pair of eyelids opened to reveal light blue eyes.

"Mistress" the figure said again.

The light blue eyes followed the figure as it moved around grabbing the mistress robe. The mistress rose from the bed and allowed the figure to put on the robe around her. Her eyes never leaving the figure that was now in front of her. The figure tied the robe around her waist and steps back to look at her.

"Your bath is ready Mistress" the figure said as it followed the Mistress to the bathroom.

Once inside the bathroom the door was closed, a maid walked in bowed to the figure and entered the bathroom. The figure moved and went to do the bed after the figure went to the closet and choose a dress, shoes, and jewelry and laid them on the bed. The bathroom door opened and out came the maid who looked at the figure. The figure nodded and left the room. The maid went to the bed and grab the cloths as the Mistress stepped out of the bathroom and into the room. The Mistress stood as she let the maid help her with the dress and shoes. Soon she stood sitting in front of the mirror, her eyes watched as the maid brush and did her hair. Soon the maid was done and bowed to the mistress. The Mistress stood and walked out of the room followed by the maid. She walked down the long hallway until she came to a stop at the top of some stairs, where she walked down the stairs and stopped before she came to the compete end of the stairs. There in front of her stood everyone who served her. They all bowed and wished her a good morning, she nodded and kept walking towards the dining room where breakfast was to be served. The figure walked towards her and opened the seat so she may sit down. She sat down and the figure pushed her in, bringing in front of her a plate that had some toast, egg and bacon. The Mistress grabbed a fork and began to eat.

"Orange juice, Mistress?" the figure asked.

The Mistress nodded and watched as he poured her orange juice in a cup. She took it and drank from it. Soon she finished eating and left the room. She walked through hallways until she reached a study room. She entered and took a seat at the desk. She looked at a stack of papers that were in front and began to read them. The door open and a figure walked in pushing a cart in that contain a tea set and a plate being covered. The figure stood and poured tea into a teacup and set it down in front of the Mistress. The Mistress took it and breathed in the scent, she smiled and took a sip of it as the figure set a plate with a dessert on it. The Mistress then took a fork and grabbed a small section of the desserts, she smiled as she flavored the piece. Dark eyes stared at her as she licked her lips.

"Mistress, today's schedule is-"

"Cancel everything" the mistress said.

"But, todays details and meetings are very important" the figure commented as it refilled the cup of tea.

"I don't care. Do I have to repeat myself?" the mistress question.

"No, of course not. I'm sorry. I'll cancel everything right away" the figure said as it left the room with a bow to the young mistress that was sitting in the desk.

The mistress stared at the spot where the figure was before closing her eyes and leaning in the chair. After a few minutes she opened her eyes and opened a drawer that required a key. She took out a picture frame and looked at the picture, there you can see a smiling family and a daughter about 16 years old smiling happily in between them.

"Happy birthday,….mama" the mistress said as she then replaced the picture frame in the drawer and locked it shut.

The young mistress then stood and left her study room. She walked the long hallways of her home and turned corners and kept walking the long paths, paths that never seemed to end. She came to a sudden stop as she watched her servants "clean" the library, more like messing it up. She watched how they all seemed to get along well even when they came from different places and their purposes where different the often referred themselves as a family. She smiled faintly and kept walking until she came to the top of the stairs. Where she elegantly walked down, when she got to the last step she said:

"Prepare the carriage."

"Of course Mistress, where is that we will be going?" the figure asked as it helped the mistress into a coat.

"Town" the mistress said.

"Of course" the figure said and helped the young mistress into the carriage and told the driver where to go before getting into the carriage as well.
