Chapter 10 Making a friend.
In the middle of the night over on Cora's estate, Alexander finds it impossible to sleep! Who could blame him after, all learning that he can never leave the estate that he will never see his family or friends again how well could anyone sleep? Alexander is just sitting up on his new bed with blankets covering all of him but neck, head and arms. All Alexander can hear is the cracking of burning wood in the fireplace and the droplets of rain hitting the glass of the windows.
"What am I going to do,"? Alexander asks himself. Alexander is brought out of his thoughts by his bedroom door opening and Elena one of the maids enters.
"I don't know sorry to interrupt," Elena says as she enters Alexander's room.
"No, it's okay it's not like I can get any sleep at all," Alexander replied.
"I was sent in here to see if the fire has burnt out," Elena tells Alexander.
"Oh, its fine, Alexander said.
"Good to know I'll leave you sire," Elena spoke as she goes to open bedroom door.
"Wait don't go," Alexander almost begs. Elena halts and turns to face Alexander. Elena closes the bedroom door without having to turn around.
"I guess I can stay for a while," Elena replied.
"Sorry, it just that being stuck here with no one your age I guess it drives me insane," Alexander apologises.
"Trust me, I know the feeling being the youngest servant here, I don't really have a lot of people to talk too," Elena says.
"Well, now you have me since I'm not going anywhere," Alexander said.
"Wait, I thought you were trying to escape," Elena spoke.
"I was until my grandpa told me, that Cora has made sure I can't leave ever," Alexander tells Elena.
"Sorry" Elena apologised to Alexander.
"Why are you sorry it's not your fault I'm here,"? Alexander asked.
"I know its just that I can't imagine what it must be like to be taken away from the people you love to never have a chance to see them again I would lucky enough to not be blessed with a family," Elena told Alexander. Alexander can't help but feel pity for the poor girl. Alexander takes the girl's hands in his before speaking.
"Well, now you do Elena," Alexander says. Alexander catches a small smirk/smile from Elena and it lifts his spirits slightly. The two then let their hands part way Alexander sensing a sneeze about to come quickly grabs a tissue from his bedside table sneezes into the tissue upon sneezing a book from the bedroom bookshelf flys off the shelf and hits the opposite wall which the front of the bed rests on this act scares the two teenagers!
