The room was spacious and clean, with stone walls all over that had the color of sand. The wall was smooth and polished shining slightly in the moonlight. In the corner was a large bed that lay near the window, if that's what you called it. To me it was nothing than a square hole in the wall. But I shouldn't complain, this was. . . this was the past I was in. The idea haunted me to the core, triggering tears of sorrow at ever moment. Would I ever be able to go home? Would I ever be able to see my family again after this?

This place was truly awful; the moment I entered an insane woman tries to muder me off of some delusion. A picture of the Queen ran through my head making me shudder is fright. I had never seen someone look so. . . demonic in my entire life. It was as if I didn't look human to her, as if I were some pig she could slaughter before the meal.

I sighed. There was no point in thinking about that woman now, I was safe and away from her. I started to shake my head, as if to tryy and wave off the dread I was feeling in the pit of my stomache. "Agh enough!" I shouted. I turned around poundering around the room finding some distraction. Then the Prince's face popped in my head, and I scowled.

"Where is that damn man anyway!" I fumed crossing my arms in annoyance. "He just dumps me here and I'm left with nothing to do, and no way to get home. Great just great" I continued to yell to myself in a unstoppable rampage of anger. I knew I wasn't being fairto the guy, but I couldn't help it. The idea of being here and doing nothing about anything was troubling me deeply. The look in that Queen's eyes was so frightening that I knew that this wasn't over. She would be back, and I needed to find a way to get home.

Suddenly the door to my chamber opened and a small figure appeared before me. Small height, short curly hair.

"No it can't be!" I squealed and the person stood still. I rose up and started to hug her tightly.

"Sister I can't believe your here, what happened I was so-" I looked up and noticed that I was dead wrong. The person I was hugging wasn't a girl, but a small boy, about 12-13 years old, my sisters age.

I stepped back, my face flushing from embarrassment. The boy's brow furrowed in confusion, backing away from me, weary it seemed from my attack. He was tan, short, wnad wearing a tunic, much less grand than that of the Prince's. He must be a servant of some kind or something, I thout. He was carrying a tray of what seemed to be food, but I didn't recognize a lot of it.

"Who did you confuse me for, I am sorry if I disappointed you," the boy said, bowing slightly at my direction. Flustered I backed away a little hoping to not scare him.

"I'm sorry, I whispered you just looked a lot like my sister back at hom." I looked down feeling shame a little that I would think such a thing without realizing how impossible that indeed was. The boy smiled, his eyes becoming warmer and less weary at me. He stepped forward and went to place the tray of food at the table. He then returned to me and gave a lower bow and looked at my face.

"I am sorry to disappoint you my Lady, but my name is Tito and I am a server of the Prince Kail himself. He had asked me to come in and serve you as you may please, Yrui-sama." He smiled and went to continue serving the food and setting everything up. He was. . . such a cutie, such a lovely boy. I have never before met one with such polite manners.

I immediately liked, he started to offer to decorate the room with flowers which I accepted most eagerly. They were very beautiful violet colored flowers that he set neart he bed to, according to him, let the wind blow to me when I slept. He kept talking about his home and where he came frorm and I sat and listened. He is so like Sis, I giggled to myself. I would have to thank the Price Kail later for helping me. I shouldn't be rude, I said to myself. He did save my life after all.

Suddenly the conversation I had with Price Kail went through my mind. I remembered distinctly when I mentioned the Queen's plans to curse the Prices, his face paled and he had a murderous look in his eyes. Curious I asked Tito about the so called Katashiro. He gasped at me, looking appalled at what I had just brought up.

"Yuri-sama that is the worst and most evil thing anyone can do to someone. It is a capital crime here in the Empire, and in most of the surrounding clans as well. No good comes from such evil magic as that." He went on cleaing the room as he talked.

"Powerful priests though use snakes to curse people I have never hears of anything else used before."

"Not even," I whispered, fearing the answer. "A human sacrifice." Tito looked puzzled at what I had just said, wonderinf, probably, why I would ask such a thing.

"No humans aren't usually used. At least not from where I have heard."

I didn't respond, pondering on what he had said. I let Tito talk without uttering a word, thinking about the Queen's intentions for me. Tito then rose his head and looked at my face, probably thinking that I wanted to be left alone.

"My lady my room is next to the kitchen if you need anything just call me." I nodded and went into the bed and sat there thinking, watching him walk out without another word.
