I opened my eyes.

I then realized that my eyes were already opened. Like coming out of a day dream, I blinked several times. Just a second ago I was walking down the street. Now, I was staring out a glass window. The scene slowly came into focus.

Outside, people crowded the large stone streets, covered in snow. I was on the third floor of something. My eyes followed a yellow head walking away quickly.Len?

"Mayu! What did I say about going to close to windows~" A male voice from behind me sang.

I felt my feet against the floor. I was standing. Turning around, I apologized cheerfully, "Sorry, Master!"

I blinked. Why did I just call him master? It seemed so natural, like I said it a thousand times before. I blinked again, realizing what I was looking at. WHY IS THERE A MAN COMPLETELY NAKED IN FRONT OF ME?!

There was a girl beside him, naked as well but putting on a small pinkish white night dress with black lace across the sweet-heart neckline. The purple-haired man looked seductively as the equally purple-haired girl finished and started skipping to a hallway to the left.

"Come on, Mayu!" she called.

I followed, not quite sure why. It just felt...natural like when calling the man "Master". I was a little cold and discovered what I was wearing. Looking down, I could see right down my dress. I wore a more revealing around the chest version of Yuka's outfit. Shuddering, I wasn't sure what I felt and decided to assess the situation whenever we were reaching our destination. We made rights and lefts. The stone walls seemed to be a fortress or something. It was huge and ornate paintings decked the halls. I noticed that I wasn't following Yukari. I was walking alongside her. Wait.I thought. How did I know her name?

Utterly confused, my footsteps faltered. Yukari, (we call her Yuka, right?), looked curiously at me, but continued. We reached an opening in the hall that revealed a stone staircase leading downward. I nearly slipped down them.

There were so many questions, and I started to panic. Where am I? How did I get here? Who was that man? Why was he naked? Who is this girl? Why am I wearing this outfit? Why does it seem like I know this place and these people? Where is Len? Have I been kidnapped? What's at the end of this staircase?

The questions ached my mind. Yuka, who was slightly ahead of me since only one person can fit at a time, stopped abruptly. Nearly tripping again, I stopped too. We were at a wooden door with two iron bars across it. Yuka knocked four times. I heard a key slip into a lock, and the door opened.

A woman with long turquoise hair appeared and let us in. She, too, was wearing a longer version of Yuka's outfit. Finally in the room, I couldn't help but gasp.

Girls. So many girls. Approximately, three hundred if I had to guess. They were all in a giant room with a little light coming in from small glassed one-inch wide windows near the low ceiling. Most were sleeping, all were wearing some variation of the black lace outfit. Some were sitting and talking like in a trance. Miku's (how do I know her name) eyes narrowed at my confusion. I quickly recovered and stepped gingerly across the colossal room, following Yuka, trying to not step on anyone.

Yuka found a clear spot on the ground, only enough room for one. I looked around lazily, trying to act like the others, and saw a place nearby next to one of the slit windows. My mind first wandered to Len. Yet another question, Did I just see him in the window?

I sat down and found the floor freezing. There were two sleeping girls next to me. One with short red hair and a long outfit and one with short green hair with possibly the smallest outfit I had seen. WHAT. IS. HAPPENING?

A chill ran down my spine, and I examined the window. On my knees, I could barely see out of; it was so small. I could just see the outside. Half of the window was covered by earth. We seemed to be just below ground level. Another third of it was covered by snow. Wait, snow?

We had people flooding into our clinic just yesterday for heatstroke. How is it snowing? How much time has passed? Was it winter? How could it be winter? It was summer twenty minutes ago!

Questions, questions, questions. So few answers. I tried to calm my breathing so no one became suspicious. Suspicious of what?I shook my head. How could I know so much and so little about this place!

I thought I smelled something. What is this? I thought. It seemed to be sweat and…laxative? How gagged. Was that why my feet were slippery? That man…did I…?

My eyes filled with tears, but I shut them in. Not yet. We don't know anything yet. I needed to figure out what was happening. Like the too organized nurse I was, I made a checklist.

Where am I?

When did I wake up?

Who are these people?

Why am I here?

How did I get here?

What have I been doing here?

The rest would come with those. Taking a deep breath, I looked out the window again. The remaining sixth was foggy, but I could make out passing feet and buildings beyond. I squinted my eyes. There was a flag blowing on the side of the nearest building. I could just make out the symbol...

My head snapped back, I swiftly sat down. Looking back and forth in case someone saw me, I tried to comprehend what I just saw. The flag had a black shield with a purple snake wrapped around it. That was a crest of a dukedom. I was in Venomania.
