Chapter 5 Elizabeth a.k.a. Lizzy

On a hill next to the ocean two men in black capes stood and spoke in hushed voices.

" Master, we have a problem." The first man said.

" What kind of problem?" the second man asked. His voice was rising in anger.

" Well, it turns out that that girl…she umm…she wasn't dead," he said his voice shrinking.

" WASN'T DEAD! SHE WASN'T DEAD!" he screamed.

" It wasn't my fault," he said weakly, "During the process we thought she died. Her heart stopped and everything. So we put her in a proper white gown and gave her a burial at sea. But at some point she…err… woke up I guess."

" She woke up, SHE WOKE UP you say. Well this is just fucking fantastic! The next thing you tell me is she's rooming in the castle." He said.

There was silence. Not a reassuring "oh no master she is just a wandering peasant now, or she was eaten by flying kangaroos." No just silence.

" She is in the castle! She is with the very people that we were hired to keep her away from! You are a moron! Simply a Fucking Moron!" He screamed.

"Would you keep your voice down master? Someone might notice us!" he squeaked.

" Fine, but you messed this up. It's your ass now." With that he started his descent. Suddenly he turned around and said, "you better fix this or I'll have your head on a platter!" and with a sinister laugh he was gone.

A tall maid about my age with mouse brown hair and violet eyes escorted me to my new room. What a room it was! Unlike the dull blues and purples of my room back home, this room was alive with color. Each wall was painted a vibrant bright color; battery charged blue, lime green, neon pink, shocking orange, and electric purple! The furniture was amazing! I had never seen anything like it before! There was a large mahogany bed draped in the same color orange as the walls and the bedspread was green and pink will at least 50 pillows on top of every shockingly bright color, shape, and size you could imagine! A long couch was at the end of the bed and there was a closet full of dresses sitting on it. There was also a vanity with lots of hair stuff, bottles, and some things I couldn't identify piled on top! A fireplace stood in the corner of the room with lots of squishy chairs around it, perfect for reading! I thought. I turned to face the eastern wall and there was the thing that took my breath away! A window seat with the most spectacular view of the ocean was laid before me!

"Oh, the view is amazing!" I gasped. Turning to the maid. She had been waiting patiently for my thoughts on the room.

She looked at my quite puzzled and said, " the dresses that are on the couch are there for you to select the ones you like so we can put them in the closet and better suit to your needs." She said all of this with her eyes firmly locked on her shoes.

I walked over to the dresses and said, " I will have to ask for you opinion, if you don't mind that is." The smile spreading slowly over my lips, I think I might just have a friend here after all!

" Of course My Lady." She said as she walked towards me, eyes still glued to her shoes.

" I will have none of this "My Lady" crap, Ok?" I said.

" But it is against protocol to call you any…" I cut her off.

" Protocol Shomotocol! I wish us to be friends." I said

Her eyes widened but she said, "Of course My Lady…I mean Skylar."

"Very good," I said my grin widening. " What is your name?"

" Elizabeth, but you can call me Lizzy. Everyone does." She said almost excitedly.

"Ok Lizzy! Lets find me some dresses!" I exclaimed.

For the next 3 hours we picked out nearly 100 dresses and she ordered more to come from the seamstress. We talked about our lives and how I came to be here. ( She is the only person who will ever know, besides Hayden and Devin.) We talked about our families, our friends, and what we want to do with our lives. She loved the thought of being a mermaid and I pondered over being a servant. By the time we finished it was almost lunchtime.

" You don't suppose I could take a bath do you?" I asked. I was beginning to feel like the rim of a margarita glass.

" Oh of course I nearly forgot!" She exclaimed while helping me out of my white dress.

" Would you have that washed and hung back up for me Lizzy?" I asked.

" Oh of course I will…My… I mean Skylar." The name thing was going to take a while I guess.

She ordered my dress to be washed and filled a great tub full of water in the adjoining bathroom. I walked over to the tub and sat down cautiously into the steaming water. Oh what a splendid feeling! I scrubbed all the salt off my body and Lizzy put some fruity smelling soap in my hair. I dunked my head and scrubbed my face till it was a rosy pink.

I didn't want to leave the warm oasis but I had to get dressed or be late for lunch. So I slowly stood up and got out. Lizzy rapped me in a fuzzy purple towel and lead me to the closet, which now had all my dresses stored inside. A wave of homesickness came rushing over me. The dresses were all the colors of the rainbow…just like my fin. I pushed the thought out of my head and back to the dresses.

I chose a corset style lace up back gown that was a sky blue, perfect for lunch. It was a short sleeved off the shoulder dress with a small diamond on each side, which held the fabric together on the top of the arm. I slipped on a pair of blue slippers and made my way to lunch.
