Bonjovie Pplz!
If you're wondering why the answers for the reviews aren't in the next chapter from the chapter that was reviewed I'll say: I write 'em as I get 'em. If I'm on chapter 5 and I get a review for Chapter 2, then the answer is still gonna be in chapter 5. Juuuuuuuust in case!
Sirenic Griffin: Thx! I'm glad you think so! It's kind of what I'm aiming for... :)
chava: Thanks a lot for the criticism, its really helpful. I know that chappie 4 should've been longer ,but I had a bit of a writers block and it was late. Also I like the idea about the thing that happened in the past. I might process it into something more of my own, but expect something like it. :)

When I awoke, I saw that I was in a very well furnished room. There were tapestries on the wall and I was lying in a canopy bed. There was a pair of windows overlooking the courtyard and even a mirror on the table.
"You are awake. I have been waiting. You need to know your duty." A voice said out of thin air.
"I am in your head. Do not try to find me, as it will confuse you more. I no longer exist in the mortal world." it said again. I was beginning to think I'd gone crazy. There was a VOICE inside my HEAD. Normal people don't get things like that. It laughed.
"Don't worry child, you are not crazy." it said, as if it knew what I'd been thinking. Who are you? I thought.
"That information is of no need to you." it responded coldly. I started to freak out again. There was a voice...inside my head...and I didn't know what it was. This was scaring me. A lot. This was worse than the dream. A lot worse.
Reminding myself to breath I got up and went to the mirror. Looking in the mirror I decided that nothing in my appearance had changed. I heard the door open behind me and swung around to face a tall, thin, pale boy. He looked to be about 12 or 13. Realizing I was in my undergarments I blushed and rushed back to the bed where I buried myself in the covers.
"I-i-i-f this is a b-bad time I'll c-come back later..." He muttered while backing out of the door.
"No, no it's fine, did you want something?" I asked trying to calm myself. He could've knocked.
"Um...No nothing really..I just wanted to see my future wife..." he looked up cautiously.
" WHAT?" I nearly screamed, my voice reaching a high pitch.
" Well, the prophesy says that you are to take command when terror reins, and the only way you may do that is by marrying the prince. Which is me." He explained uncertainly.
"Did you not know that?" he added, bewildered.
"What? Huh? Leave!", I stumbled over the words, my mind reeling for ways out of this loophole.
I lay back wondering, my mind overloading with numerous thoughts. Run away? No that won't work. They all know me. Suicide? All right girl, you're not THAT desperate.
I needed to think outdoors. Getting up I walked over to the closet in the corner, which I had failed to notice earlier. Opening it, I found simple garments. Nothing too fancy, for the middle ages I mean. Pulling on a pale blue dress, I walked to the mirror to comb my hair. I should've brought my purse with me, I thought . . . how am I supposed to last with no make up? I didn't really want to use the ones here, as they seemed pretty gross. Oh well, this will have to do, I thought smiling to myself in the mirror.
" You're radiant." the voice commented. I panicked for a second and then remembered who it was. I was beginning to think it was only a dream.
"Oh no princess, I'm just as real as you are." the voice said softly. A sharp jab of fear in my stomach reminded me who else talked like that. The voice seemed not to have heard.
"Come to the field where you arrived to meet me." the voice said airily, before disappearing. I knew it'd disappeared because I felt a kind of emptiness where it had been. Should I go to the field I though over and over again, not realizing I was pacing. I stopped and remembered something my mother had told me when I was young. You can't run away forever. I remembered and felt some courage. I would go and face whatever evil lived in that field.
Walking softly to the door, I pulled it open and looked around. It was an empty hallway. Creeping to where I thought the stairs would be I looked down to see the pale thin boy talking with King Andrew.
" But she was so surprised father. She must've known." The pale thin boy said.
" Do not worry Jehu, she has to be married to you. It is the only way." King Andrew said with finality before walking out of the room. Looking around the boy nearly caught sight of me, but I backed away just in time. Watching him closely I saw him go up to a tapestry and peer behind it. Looking one more time around himself he pulled out a key and disappeared behind the tapestry. I figured there was a door there, a secret one. My mind being to preoccupied with other thoughts didn't register this at the time.
I creeped down the stairs and encouraged by the emptiness slipped out of the the castle. Once out I had to tiptoe to the back garden. There were too many guards in the front to even try. In the back garden I saw two maids whispering together before disappearing into the rose bushes. This maybe just what I needed I thought, a way out of the castle without being seen. Peering through the rosebushes I saw that there was indeed a small hole in the wall. I didn't know if I would fit. Taking a deep breath decided to try. I may get scratched up during the process, but it was worth a try.
