New author's update: from a suggestion from a friend, I decided that it would be a good idea to write full length chapters (~5000-8000 words) and split them up into smaller chapters ~2000-3000 words each. So for my readers that enjoy long sessions, you get 2-5 chapters to read and for my readers that read slower or enjoy shorter chapters they exist now. If you read my other stories, you'll notice that for the new LOZ book coming soon that it will be down like that as well. I haven't decided when I will transition that way for Yu-Gi-Oh! But it will be done also… and when I do the rewrites for them as well I probably will start it up with that and have parts so the chapter names stay the same. Anyway, this author's note will be on all the chapters up to and including chapter 11. (yes, this four chapter thing turned into 11 chapters.) I also did some serious rereading and corrected any mistakes such as cane instead of came and what not. I hope you guys enjoy. :)

Any author's notes at the end of the first four chapters will appear in chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 if they exist respectively. There won't be any other ending author notes for chapters 5-11. Thanks.

Chapter 3

That night was literally a nightmare. I had woken up three times from the exact same dream of the man being in my room and him advancing forward to the side of my bed before I grabbed for something off the desk. After that, I was flung into an empty, black, space filled with dread. Thousands of questions appeared on the walls in white, mimicking the questions I had. Then the questions were answered with horrifying answers that dripped with blood from their original question. One question that seemed to stick out was: Was I a good person? The answer that formed oozed out of it: No, you were a horrible person. You are lying to yourself about caring about these people. Just make it easier for everyone and take everything for yourself. Seize the weakened throne for yourself and when you're done, take the other. It's no fun to have mosquitos buzzing in your ear, so take any kingdom that annoys you and burn it to the ground.

After that mess I woke up and ran straight to the bathroom in my room and threw up. I knew that wasn't who I was. Just my subconscious playing tricks to make some sense of its empty self. Or, there was the idea that it could have been a planted idea by the man that made my own life disappear. Either or, it wasn't who I was. At least not anymore if I truly was some… monster. These people were kind enough to clothe and feed me and even gave me a place to sleep. Sure there was a guard outside, but it was worth it. Whether or not it was for my protection or Emmeryn's; I was just glad he was there at the door. The last thing I wanted was the same creep standing by my bed again or that same creep heading towards someone else's room. I stayed up after the third time seeing that nightmare even though the sky was still dark. The sun was on its way as some birds started to chirp. I sighed and decided to clean up and ready myself for the trip. I had no idea how far the Eastern Castle was. I walked back into the bathroom and realized that there was no running water. It was a strange thought, how come there was no running water? Then again, the only thing to drink was not exactly water. It had the awful taste of alcohol that I apparently knew and disliked well. I sighed again and walked to the door. I opened it and saw that the guards were in mid shift.

"What are you doing up so early miss?" One of the guards asked.

"I just woke up and was going to clean up but-"

"You would like a bath to be made?"

"Um, yes?" I answered with confusion. "I guess that would be what I want."

The guard that was sticking around nodded to the other one, "Get a handmaid and a couple of servants to get her a bath before you leave. I'll give you an extra gold or two depending on how quick you are."

"Yes Sir!" The leaving guard stated and saluted before rushing off.

"It shouldn't be long now," The guard winked. "It's all about knowing what will motivate a man."

I smiled slight back and went back into my room. I sat on my bed and seriously thought that the castle needed indoor plumbing. They had toilets I would have thought that maybe they could have figured out how to move water upwards. I waited for a couple of minutes before a knock came from the door and I barely got up before the door opened and four woman came in with two buckets of steaming water each into the bathroom. They left only to come back a few minutes later carrying the same buckets filled with more water. Three of them left as one stayed in the room, she was dressed a little differently from the others: a different colored dress and her hair done up nicely. The guard closed the door.

"Well," The woman started.

"Um…"

"Get undressed so I can wash you."

I blinked and then the words finally registered. "Here and now?! Um, no, it's fine I can wash myself."

"I don't mean to be rude, but I heard that you have no memory."

"You heard correctly…" I told her as I waited to find out where she was going with it.

"Do you know what is what?"

There it was and it was a rather good question that I couldn't answer well. "If they have labels." She shook her head only making me cringe. Could one not be alone naked? Like really, it's not like after getting back to my room I stripped down completely naked in front of the mirror to see what I looked like. Perhaps other people would, but me, I was too tired to give a crap if that fucker marked me up anywhere else besides the mark on the back of my neck in the hair line so even then it wasn't that great of a look. "Alright, only because I am completely clueless and your help would be most wonderful."

She smiled and I followed her into the bathroom. Once undressed there was barely time to do anything when the woman opened her mouth.

"You are so tiny and pretty."

"Um, thanks?" I answered before quickly hopping into the tub. It was really hot, but I really didn't care.

"Oh, I didn't mean to embarrass you."

"It's cool, I guess I'm not used to people seeing me butt naked."

"It's cool?"

"It's a phrase meaning it's alright… there are a lot of things I've noticed I say that no one seemed to know what I'm talking about."

"From what I heard, your accent is nothing like anyone has ever heard."

"What else do they say?" I asked as she grabbed a bottle with blue stuff in it and started to message my skull.

"Well, I don't want to be rude, but they say that you are a space girl that came from the skies and that you aren't even human."

"You mean an alien?"

"Sorry, it was impolite."

I laughed, "No, this is great, it's amazing what the imagination comes up with. So… what is that stuff in the bottle."

"This is to clean your hair and body." The woman replied placing some of the same blue stuff on a cloth.

"Is there something that… conditions the hair so it's not frizzy or?"

"Oh conditioner, yes of course and with hair as thick as yours," the woman said as she washed my hair. "It would only create scary stories if not tamed."

"So now that you got to see the alien that came from the skies with no memory; do you think I'm human?"

"With your cute ass and all, yes."

I grew red in the face. "Well that comforting. It would be weird to think of being a human only to find out you weren't."

"Yes I think it would."

"So, any other stories?"

"Mostly false, they said that you were also just a child, but your curiosity beats that of a dead cat with all the questions a grown woman would ask." She answered as she handed me a small blade like razor. "You shave by the looks of your skin, I guess you would probably like to continue."

I nodded before I knew I was nodding.

"Want me to do it?"

"Nope, I definitely got this." I told her as I started.

"Alright, I'm going to finish up with your hair, don't cut yourself."

"Now you are just asking me to." I joked. After a few minutes I had finished and was out of the bath in a towel. The woman went to leave when I called out. "What about teeth… is there something to clean your mouth?"

"Um…" She looked around with some confusion. "I'll be back."

I nodded as she left with a bit of speed. I got dressed and she walked through the door with a small brush and a jar with some powder in it. For some reason I thought it was supposed to be different, but then I realized it was an older version of toothpaste. I don't know where I had learned it, but I knew what it was and that was a start.

"You wet the toothbrush, dip the brush in the jar and brush your teeth, it also makes your breath smell good." The woman stated. "Both are new for you, it would be kind of gross if they weren't."

I smiled, I was literally really happy for some reason. "Thank you…. Um, I never got your name, what is it?"

"Janela." She answered as she handed me the jar and brush. "What's your name lost kitten?"

"Mychaila." I replied accepting the mouth cleaning items. "It was a pleasure meeting you Janela. Thank you for your help."

"Anything for your adorable body and soul." She stated before leaving me to ponder. I couldn't tell if she was hitting on me or teasing me.
