Sonette wakes up, lying on a bed and she looks around to see she was in her room at the Rose's house. She then saw Snow sitting on her bed and smiles.
"Hey." Snow said smiling.
"You're back." Sonette whispers.
"This morning." Snow said as Sonette sits up and looks around confused. "It's midday." Snow tells her.
"I thought I was dead." Sonette whispers. "When Shadow… I thought that I was going to die right then." Sonette explains and Snow sighs.
"Lady Rose wants to see you, stay here." Snow tells Sonette as she got up and walk off. Sonette sighs as she got up and puts her shoes on. Then Amy walks in and over to her.
"Sonette, I am so sorry." Amy said.
"Don't be sorry Miss Rose, you have nothing to be sorry for." Sonette whispers.
"What happened, before you were taken to the cell?" Amy asks.
"I went to Snow's when something hit me over the head. It was Mr Shadow. I use the fireplace poker to defend myself. Of course I failed and he took me to the cellar." Sonette explains.
"It's going to be okay, I promise." Amy said.
"Where is Mr Shadow now?" Sonette asks scared.
"In the cell still." Amy said as she takes Sonette's hands. "Come, my father is waiting." Amy said as she takes Sonette to Lionel's study.
"I see she is awake." Lionel greets.
"Mr Rose." Sonette said bowing.
"How are you feeling?" Lionel asks.
"Shaken." Sonette replies. "But I will be fine."
"Brave, and amazing how you can just put this in the past." Lionel said.
"Don't get me wrong sir, I won't forget it. I mean, I thought I was going to die right there." Sonette explains. "But I need to move on."
"Of course." Lionel said.
"Come on Sonette." Amy said dragging her out and Sonette sighs.
"I have work to do my lady." Sonette said.
"Not today." Amy tells her as they started walking. "To tell you the truth Sonette, I never loved Shadow. My father forced me into the engagement. I'm glad I'm out of it." Amy tells her.
"Oh." Sonette said shock.
"Thank you." Amy said.
"You're welcome, I think." Sonette said confused and Amy smiles.
"Come on." Amy said dragging Sonette off. They went out the back and Vanilla walks over to Sonette. Sonette smiles as she gives Vanilla a hug.
"It's good to see you up dear." Vanilla said.
"Sorry to worry you." Sonette whispers.
"How do you feel?" Vanilla asks.
"Sore, shaken, but I'm fine." Sonette replies.
"That's good." Vanilla said as Sonette lets her go. "When Miss Rose and Mr Rose brought you back, you were unconscious." Vanilla said.
"Wait, Mr Rose." Sonette whispers.
"My father carried you here." Amy tells her and Sonette sighs. "We were worried about you." Amy tells her and Sonette sighs.
"Take it easy." Vanilla tells her.
"I will." Sonette said and Vanilla smiles as she walks off. Sonette turns to face Amy who smiles. Sonette then saw Lionel who walks over and sighs.
"What is it father?" Amy asks.
"I had to release Shadow." Lionel replies.
"What, that's not fair. He almost killed Sonette." Amy said and Lionel sighs.
"It's okay." Sonette said with a smile.
"No it isn't." Amy said and walks off. Sonette looks at her shock.
"Amelia!" Lionel shouts and Sonette chase after Amy.
"My lady!" Sonette calls. Amy stops by the staircase and Sonette walks over.
"He almost killed you in front of me, he should be punished." Amy tells Sonette.
"I'm nothing more than a maid my lady." Sonette tells her.
"You are more than maid Sonette." Amy tells Sonette as she turns around. Sonette saw tears in Amy's eyes. "You are my friend, my protector. I can't lose you." Amy tells Sonette who sighs.
"Miss Rose." Sonette whispers. Amy breaks down in tears as she gives Sonette a hug. Sonette looks at her shock, but sighs as she wraps her arms around Amy. Lionel walks over and Sonette sighs as she looks down at Amy.
"Amelia." Lionel whispers.
"He's going to take Sonette away from me, she's my best friend." Amy cries.
"I'll make sure he will never come near Sonette ever again." Lionel tells her. Amy looks at her father.
"Promise." Amy whispers.
"I promise." Lionel said walking off. Amy buries her face in Sonette.
"It's going to be okay my lady." Sonette tells her.
"I know." Amy whispers. Amy lets Sonette go and Sonette takes a step back. "I'm sorry." Amy said as she wipes her eyes.
"It's okay." Sonette assures her.
"It's just, you are the only person I can call friend." Amy tells her.
"I wish I could do more to help." Sonette admits and Amy smiles.
"Come on." Amy said. Night came quickly, Sonette is helping Snow in the kitchen and Snow smiles at her.
"I see you and Miss Rose have made a bound." Snow said.
"Yeah." Sonette whispers.
"It's nice to see her so happy." Snow tells her. "I mean before, she had her moments, but it was rare to see her truly happy." Snow explains.
"She's right." Lionel said walking in. The pair looks at him shock.
"Mr Rose." Sonette whispers.
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you two." Lionel said.
"It's okay sir." Sonette said and Snow smiles.
"I should go." Snow said walking off.
"How are you Sonette?" Lionel asks.
"I'm fine sir." Sonette replies.
"I have notices how close you are to my daughter." Lionel starts and Sonette sighs. "And truth be told, I don't know how to take that." Lionel admits.
"I never wanted to be notice sir, I was wanted a place to go after losing my father." Sonette explains.
"I know, Amelia told." Lionel said, walking up to Sonette who walks back.
"Mr Rose, I don't know what you want me to say." Sonette said and Lionel chuckles.
"I want to know where you came from." Lionel tells her.
"Why?" Sonette asks scared.
"Tell me." Lionel tells her and Sonette sighs.
"I'm from Whitehollow." Sonette said and Lionel sighs.
"Whitehollow, that's Mephiles' land." Lionel said.
"He doesn't care about us." Sonette tells Lionel. "Especially Whitehollow." Sonette adds.
"Is that so?" Lionel said, place his hand on the bench, either side of Sonette so she couldn't run. Sonette got scared, she was trapped.
"Mr Rose, please." Sonette pleads.
"Do you have any other family?" Lionel asks.
"Yes sir, but I left them. We got into a fight and I ran away." Sonette replies. 'Why am I telling him this?" Sonette then thought, she was too scared to lie to him.
"How did you get here?" Lionel asks and Sonette sighs, she can't lie now. "I mean, you were a nobody." Lionel adds.
"James took me to a friend name Richard. He gave me some basic training and got some clothes. He then 'sold' her to you because was looking for a new maid. James then brought me here." Sonette explains.
"That wasn't so bad." Lionel said walking back and walks off. Sonette slides down and sighs, why did he ask those question? Why did she tell him the truth? Sonette sighs as she gets up and finished in the kitchen. She then walks over and heads upstairs to see Amy waiting. Amy smiles and Sonette sighs.
'Amy can't find out.' Sonette thought, then smiles.
"What is it?" Amy asks.
"Nothing, it's late. Let's get you in bed." Sonette said walking over.
"But I wanted to stay up with you." Amy said.
"We have a big day tomorrow." Sonette tells her and Amy sighs.
"Right, let's go." Amy said. Sonette helps Amy into bed. Once done, she walks out and saw Lionel walks over.
"Did you tell Amelia our little chat?" Lionel asks.
"No sir." Sonette replies.
"Good and leave it like that." Lionel tells her.
"If I may ask sir, why did you do it?" Sonette asks.
"I lost my wife and eldest daughter, she is all I got in this world. You understand." Lionel replies.
"I do sir, I'm sorry." Sonette said.
"Take care Sonette." Lionel said walking off and Sonette sighs. She heard stories about Lionel's wife and other daughter. Sonette sighs as she heads to her room to rest. She has a lot to do.
