Chapter four; A Sleeping Princess.
Linden sat on his bed listening to the storm outside. He shivered. Drawing his covers around him he found his mind wandering to the little slave girl. Silently he prayed that she was alright and not scared of this storm. He could still hear princess Harika's shrill cries of fright echoing down the corridor. Dannie would not kick up such a fuss. Climbing down from his bed linden slipped on a pair of shoes and quietly exited from his room.
Linden silently walked through the corridors of the palace until he came to the room that had been given up for Dannie's use. He gently knocked on the door. Their was no reply frowning he knocked again a bit more loudly. Still no reply sighing and about to return to his room defeated a freezing draft of wind blew from under the door. Sensing that something was not right he opened the door. He gasped. The bed was made, the place was spotless and there was no Dannie in sight. The large glass doors leading to the balcony were open the gauze nets flying madly like drenched ghosts n the wind. She was gone.

Foot steps echoed along the empty marble corridors dust lay covering the elegant furniture. The place seemed dead forgotten. Cobwebs hung from grand chandeliers. Small footsteps rang out, yet not out of place. The walls welcomed them light streamed threw fogged up windows. Dannie walked taking in her surroundings remembering. She could here them calling out to her she needed to see them save them help them. She shivered this was her home. Yet it felt so cold. She found herself following her feet to a beautiful carved door. She stopped him fingers reaching out to touch the carvings. She traced the swirls and the ornate flowers, she tickled the birds. Her hands fell short at the elegant curved writing. Tears threatening to fall from her eyes she gently pushed open the door and stepped inside. The room was dark; Dannie clapped her hands and whispered "light to open the petals of the sleeping flower. The room filled with a brilliant white light. Dannie smiled
"Home" she whispered
She wandered around the room opening the lids to boxes letting the gentle music from them fill the room with their haunting melodies. Dancing and swaying to the music Dannie let the unshed tears fall. Slowly moving towards the bed she braced herself. Drawing back the curtains she just stood there and stared n shock. On the bed lay a little girl her red hair was cut short and was highlighted with blue. Her pale skin was perfect. A graceful smile was upon her face. She looked as if she was asleep; Dannie knelt down and stroked her hair.
"She looks as if she is asleep." she whispered "it's perfect."
Sadly she turned to go. She stopped the music from playing and closed the curtains on the sleeping figure.
"You do not think that should have left signs of the wounds then?" asked a beautiful young woman stepping before Dannie. Her all seeing eyes also brimming with tears her long blonde hair fell to her knees her pale blue dress showed of her ageless perfect figure. Dannie shook her head.
"She is perfect the way you created her."
"Thank you, but she does not compare to the real thing."
Dannie smiled.
"I'm sorry" the woman said "I should have prevented it."
Dannie shook her head
"Even you could not have prevented it."
The woman hung her head in shame. Her hair covering her face. She smiled.
"You returned. I said you would. My people's prayers will be answered."
Dannie laughed
"I'm just a child. A child who should not be in existence."
The woman smiled sadly
"You will return, it is your destiny."
