Chapter 4
Mei looked around her, and even though she could see in the darkness that surrounded her normally, the complete blackness that was her bedroom still was hard to see.
Mei swallowed hard and almost choked on the lump in her throat, died trying… She repeated. The thought of death scared her, but it would come upon her either way, she would be crushed if she didn't get out in time to buy the house and who knows what would happen if she tried to get back out…
There has to be some way to get back out besides how I got in… Maybe I should talk to Kinako and Miko… They would know, they're always searching in the piles that fall in… Yes, I'll talk to them tomorrow… She thought.
She walked to her bed to the best of her ability and sat down on the musty sheets…
Some changes are to be made though, if I am stuck here for the rest of…well, the rest of the week, I want my room more…me. I need different bedding and the color of the walls will have to go… I would like a desk and a dresser, but most importantly, a shower… I guess sprites don't worry about hygiene. But the prince must have a shower, he didn't smell bad, from what I could tell, and he looked respectably clean.
Mei was so tired all she could think of now was sleep.
And sleep cam over her. It swam through her so deeply that she could do nothing else but sleep. Breathe in breathe out, and sleep.
A shuffling sound awoke her in the morning…It was morning wasn't it?
"Hello?" She called into the darkness.
