Break stayed quiet for a while, thinking of what to say before speaking, "I will help you find an answer, but you have to help me find my answers," he finally said.
"What are you looking to answer?" I asked.
"That's enough questions for today. Why don't you get dressed as get something to eat," Break suggested as he got up from the bed and skipped his way out the door.
After he closed the door, I realized just how hungry I was. Looking out the window I saw that the sun was starting to set and assumed it had been about a few days since I last ate something.
Following Breaks suggested, I got out of bed and headed towards the dresser to see what was there. As I made my way to the dresser, I put the book Break gave me back onto the table. When I got to the dresser I placed my hand on the door knob and opened it.
What was in the dresser were countless gowns of many styles, fabrics, lengths and colors. There was short ones, long ones, ones with long sleeves, short sleeves, and no sleeves. Some have bows, lace and frills while others had one or the other or none at all. There are ones with patterns or designs and ones with solid colors. The colors that are present range from warm colors like red to cold colors like blue and even pastels. There are even black and white ones too.
As I looked through the dresses my eyes landed on one that stood out from the others. Wanting to know how it looked, I took it and changed into it. When I finished putting it on I went in front of the mirror to see what I looked like.
The dress was a dark red that went straight around my flat chest just under my arms and ended above my knees. From the middle of the red fabric straight to a bit above my shoulders and down to my elbows were sleeves made from black lace that created a pattern of diamonds. Around my waist was a long black half skirt which was a black band around my waist and over the dress with no fabric in the front, but had it in the back that ended above my ankles.
After I looked in the mirror and approved of the dress I went back to the dresser to find some shoes. When I open the bottom drawer I spot a pair of black boots that goes to my knees with white laces. Seeing how perfect they would go with my outfit, I try them on. Luckily for me they fit and they have no heels so I can easily fight if I have to.
When I start to head for the door happy with my look, I noticed something lying on the desk across the dresser. As curiosity got the best of me again, I headed towards the desk. When I got there, I saw that the something was actually a lace choker necklace with the same patters and red color as the dress. Seeing that it would work good with my outfit too, I put it on.
Finally completing my look, I head towards the door once more as I fix my bangs over my crimson eye and black hair behind my back. When I got to the door, I reached out for the handle, but stopped after I started hearing voices on the other side. Not being able to make out what was being said, I placed my ear on the door and focused on what the people on the other side are saying.
"My Lady, do you think that Mia-chan could be one of the keys that we need to unlock the truth like Oz-kun?" a voice, unmistakably Break's, said to most likely Sharon because he said 'My Lady.'
"Yes Xerx-nii-san, I believe Mia-sama is of the keys we need," Sharon replied.
"I'm a key? What's that supposed to mean?" I asked myself. Deciding to put those questions aside, I opened the door. When i did, I was greeted by Break and Sharon in their previous attire.
"Good evening Mia-sama. How are you feeling?" Sharon asked with a smile, but sounded a little concerned.
"I'm feeling a lot better now. Thanks," I said with a small bow.
"My, don't you look lovely Mia-chan," Break cooed, then turned to Sharon, "Don't you agree My Lady?" he asked.
"Yes, Mia-sama does look beautiful in that outfit," Sharon agreed with Break and continued to talk about my appearance, which made my face my face go red with all the complements.
Wanting them to stop talking about me, I decided to change the topic with a question, "Where are Oz, Alice and Raven?" I asked looking around the hallway.
"Oh, Oz-kun and the others left a little while ago to stop off at a town to investigate many murders that have been committed by an illegal contractor on their way to Oz-kuns mansion where his coming-of-age ceremony was held," Break informed me with a smile.
"Coming-of-age... Ceremony?" I said in a questioning tone as I tilted my head.
"Mia-sama, why don't we continue this conversation over some tea,' Sharon said as she started to gracefully walk down the hall.
"I believe that's our cue to follow miss," Break said as he started to follow Sharon and I followed him shortly after.
After walking through a few halls and around many corners, we finally stopped in front of a large set of wooden french doors. Break stepped forward in front of Sharon and opened the door that made a soft creaking noise as they swung open with a small push.
When the doors fully opened, they revealed a large library. It was about twice the size of the room I was sleeping in. Every wall had bookshelves stocked with numerous books that left no wall exposed except one which had a large window on it and in front of the window was a big desk where one could read a good book or do paperwork. In the middle of the room was a table that was filled with various foods and treats along with some tea.
Break continued to walk in front of me and Sharon to the table and pulled out two of the chairs, one on each end. Sharon sat in one and I sat in the remaining one.
When both Sharon and I were finally seated, she smiled at me and said, "Please help yourself to anything you like," then she started sipping her tea.
"I would recommend the cakes," Break said as he sat on the corner of the table near me and grabbed one of the cakes he mentioned as started eating it.
"Umm, okay," I said, thinking over it and grabbed one myself. Taking a fork, I took a small bit out of the cake and tasted the sweet treat. My eyes widened from the sudden burst of flavor that I was not used to and said when I swallowed, "That is really good."
Break chuckled, continuing to eat his cake and Sharon let out a smile as she drank her tea.
Slowly I finished my cake so I wouldn't seem ill mannered, then I tried some of the sandwiches and finished with a few more cakes the same way. When I finished, Break handed me a cup of tea. I took it happily.
Sharon finished her cup of tea, placing the cup gently on its' plate, and looked towards me. When I looked back at her I saw that she had her usual smile, but her eyes were serious. Seeing this I put my tea down too.
"Mia-sama, Alice-sama said you were in the Abyss for seventeen years. Could you tell us how you got there and what happened to you while you were there?" Sharon asked in a tone that said I didn't have to if i didn't want to.
I took a deep breath and started to collect my thoughts. When I did I breathed out and started talking.
