I woke to soft noises.

Not awake but not asleep , rolling on my side , "Padme .... where have you been?"

"Is she still not back yet?"

Cassandra!

Sitting up I looked at her , digging through a wardrobe that was not my own. Looking around a room that was not my own. Suddenly remembering that Hector had brought me here last night. Though I still did not know where I was.

"Get out! Why are you in here?" I cried , pulling the blanket around myself , as I was not dressed. Where had my clothes gone?

"Your guard let me in. Shouldn't you be with our mother at this hour?"

Confused , "What?"

"Hecuba?" Cassandra spoke.

I'd forgotten about it! Quickly sliding from bed , careful to keep the blanket around myself. Not seeing my wardrobe where it should have been , I turned to Cassandra , "Excuse me."

Turning to the find the door wasn't there either!

Growing angry I shouted , "HECTOR!"

"He's out with the men , he left at first light. From the lack of screams , he had a nights sleep?" She asked , sounding much to confident about my husband!

Angrily I pointed at her , almost loosing my blanket , my temper slowly getting the better of me. "Just because you hear no screams , does not mean his sleep is sound!"

Cassandra glanced at me.

Realizing I had said too much , "Get Out!"

I had to find a robe , find my way through the palace , and find Hecuba. I did not wish to stand here undressed discussing my evening with her of all people.

"Yes , My Princess?"

I spun to see Tarus behind me , a open door behind the bed. Which was in the center of the room , upon a hand-woven rug.

Never once had I been in this room! "Where am I?"

Tarus looked to Cassandra , speaking rather carefully , "In Princess Cassandra's wing of the Palace."

Princess Cassandra's Wing!

I looked to Cassandra , then back to Tarus , "Take Me To MY WING! I Need To Dress! I Want MY Oils! I Want My Bed!"

Tarus's face fell , looking almost afraid , speaking in a low voice almost a whisper , "Prince Hector does not wish you in those rooms. He has brought some changes of clothes , oils , your many shoes. They are in that wardrobe , Princess Andromache."

Narrowing my eyes I stormed to my guard , suddenly angry , "MY HUSBAND SAID WHAT! WHAT ABOUT MY LOOM! DID HE BRING THAT HERE?"

Tarus looked frightened , "No."

"WHERE IS HE!" I demanded.

"Your to see mother." Cassandra reminded me , to which I turned around yelling at her as well , "TELL YOUR MOTHER TO WAIT , SHE'S ALL DAY! I DON'T SEE HER IN THE MARKET! NOR PRAYING! I HAVEN'T SEEN HER IN A TEMPLE IN MONTHES! SHE HAS HAD NO DESIRE TO SPEAK WITH ME SINCE I WED HECTOR!"

I then turned to my guard , "I'M GOING TO GET DRESSED! IF YOU DO NOT BRING ME TO MY HUSBAND I WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL! BELIEVE ME IT IS POSSIBLE! I'M FROM THEBE! NOW OUT SO I CAN CHANGE!"

Tarus quickly left , leaving a stunned Cassandra , whom I turned and chased out of the room screaming as well.
