Back in her room Bonnie noticed that everyone was right, their things were missing. At least she had her book bag though. She walked around and found that there were in fact clothes in all her drawers, and other things on them.
From what she'd heard, they assigned rooms and then went through them all, giving out bathroom supplies to everyone, but extra things for the girls, including jewelry that looked as if it were priceless. They had given her a brush, multiple perfumes and make up, along with clothes that actually looked as though they would fit her. Someone must have given them her size. Of course she didn't like the under clothes that they had, they were too lacy, and a little too showy for her modest side. She couldn't believe that women back in the sixteen hundreds would wear these things under their dresses. The bodices looked as if they'd kill you slowly.
She went over to her closet and found that she had a wide assortment of dresses, from Evening wear to casual dresses, to ball and party dresses. They were all very beautiful, smooth silk and cotton looked best, the others looked a bit tacky. As she looked through them two stuck out in her mind. They were the dresses she had seen, or thought she had seen, in her closet at home. And they were just a beautiful, if not more so.
The white one came down and showed off a lot of cleavage that she was afraid she didn't have, but it was very loose and came only down to her ankles. It reminded her of a wedding dress she'd seen once, a cute one that was on a girl even shorter then herself.
The Black one had a small choker to go with it, but it was thick enough to cover half her neck. It too was low cut, almost too low cut, but it went out in a spider web at her feet, dragging on the floor. It stayed closer to her body then the others in her closet, which made her wonder where she'd gotten such a dress during this time period. Obviously what she'd read and seen about dresses was completely wrong for this castle.
She thought of the Adams family, one of her favorite movies when she was younger. And she thought of Morticia Adams, she wondered if she would look that good in a dress like that. It looked like it would fit her curves pretty well, and if not maybe they had a seamstress here that could help her out.
The closet itself was pretty big, a walk in one at that. And she had all sorts of pairs of high heels and sandals to wear, plus her sneakers that she had on.
The bed was pretty big too, now that she was looking at it instead of laying in it. And it had a top to it, which exited her. She'd seen them in books as a kid, and always wanted one. Especially one that had curtains around it, like this one had. And it was in the center of the room, with a big window over it, and a fireplace in front of it, far enough away to not catch it on fire, but close enough to keep her warm while she layed in bed.
The door was a little too close to her bed than she liked, but it was OK, she didn't mind that much. There was a reasonable distance from her bed to the door, if someone sneaked in she'd hear them.
And the balcony was opposite her dresser, one that had a huge mirror attached to it. So that she could do her makeup and hair right, she supposed. And beside her dresser was the closet. Which was actually set out from the wall, like maybe it was a last minute thing to add, so to disguise it they had some hooks on the wall, for her coats.
The whole room was decorated in white and soft pink and sky blue. She felt like a kid again, but it was all so very beautiful, she didn't care. The walls were actually green though, with pictures of white, pink, and blue roses and stars and other pretty things around it. Even her brushes had the white roses on them, and there was a bouquet of white roses on her dresser that she hadn't seen.
She was really going to like being the Princess. If only she could figure out what her dreams meant…
*~~*~~*
Dinner that night was served in the large Ball room. Not everyone would fit into the Dining room, so they pulled out a bunch of chairs and let everyone sit together in the ball room. The next night they would all begin getting into their parts, and probably wouldn't see much of each other for the remainder of the time there.
The little lady, her name was Anna, came by and talked to us about our parts. Lisa was to report to the entrance, along with all the other guards, to start training for a 'week'. Obviously it wouldn't be a real week, Lisa said it was for a whole twelve hours none stop. Then she would start serving the Royal Family. She would be guarding Prince Damon, which she said would be no problem.
They laughed about it, and then she went on. Joe-Anne was to report to the Wash room. That was when they cracked up. She hated washing clothes, and she told the lady that, but she wouldn't budge. So she was stuck washing clothes.
Meredith was to just be around, doing whatever. She was a friend of the Princess's that was living with them until her husband returned from someplace. She had it easy.
Bonnie, whose guard was some guy named Alan, was to be at all big events. She would be told about them before hand. And she was to tell the servants and the guards what to do, and when to do it, if need be. She even had the authority to fire someone.
If they got fired, they just got put in a lower job, and someone from that job was moved up. So there might be some switching every once in a while. But mostly, if you had a big job, I.E prince or princess, you were stuck with it.
Elena joined them, and they chatted away.
"How are you and Stefan?" Meredith asked, chewing on the burger that she had gotten. They had basically grilled up some things, burgers, hotdogs, they had a large salad for the vegetarians.
"Were doing fine, I guess." She said, softly. Not looking up and focusing intently on her food that she wasn't eating.
"What do you mean.'I guess', is everything OK?" Bonnie asked.
"Yea, everything is all right. I just feel a little weird being here. I mean, I know Stefan and Damon might feel comfortable here, but I don't." she said.
"I know, but just give it some time, you'll feel better later." Lisa said, smiling warmly. "Besides, you are supposed to be the Kings Mistress, and Stefan is after Bonnie's heart. This should make a very interesting stay here." She and all the girls laughed.
"And what do you fine young ladies find so funny over here?" a males voice broke through the laughter.
"Nothing silly, just thinking about what's going to be happening at the Castle." Elena said, as Stefan sat down beside her and gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Yes and all the guys that are after certain someone's heart are right with us." Joe-Anne joked, grinning at Bonnie.
She blushed, she couldn't help it. "Of course, half of them didn't want to anyway." She said, trying to dig herself out of the hole she was in.
"Matt, as you know, still has feelings for you." Lisa said, smiling at Bonnie. Bonnie had the pleasure of seeing Matt turn red all over as well, but wouldn't let it get to his head.
"The difference is, that I don't still have feelings for him." She said, smiling at Lisa herself. "I told him when he broke up with me, that I wasn't waiting for him, and not to come crying back." She said, and there was an awful silence that followed.
"Well, that cuts the competition down to just four guys." Damon said, coming up and sitting beside Bonnie, looping an arm around her shoulders as if he'd already won.
She shrugged it off, and smiled at him too. "No, just down to three." And she almost laughed at the face he made, he was clearly mad at being cut down like he was, and surprised that it was Bonnie who was doing so, but his eyes darkened as if hiding something.
"And those guys would be Stefan, Scott, and this Ryan guy." Lisa said, counting them off on her fingers as if they were important. "Scott hasn't known Bonnie that long, but more than this Ryan guy. So at least you have a chance. In fact, Stefan probably won't try very hard, am I right?" she asked, arching her eye brow.
"I plan on winning." He told them, smiling. "Of course the other guys may try more... suggestive means of getting her, I'll just be the gentle man I was brought up to be, and try it that way." He smiled, turning his dark green eyes on Bonnie. She squirmed, because Elena was already giving her the 'stay away or die' looks she used to give to other girls.
"And of course Elena has to be paired up with the head football player at our college." Meredith laughed. "Watch out, he may take his role a little too seriously." She warned, smiling.
"And if he does, he'll answer to me and my two buddies." Stefan said, throwing up his fists and pretending to punch someone. He actually looked like the guys that were on the football team at school, it made her wonder just how much of Their lives he'd absorbed and used.
They all laughed and had a pretty good time the duration on the night. Bonnie was the first to leave though, she couldn't help being tired, and wanted to get to bed early so that she could have a good night's rest. The next day would be tough enough, having to learn proper etiquettes and posture and how to treat those below her, and then to simply know who was below her.
As she found the hall that her room was on, on the top floors along with Elena and Stefan's, and the other nobles of this place, she also felt that someone was following her. She turned and faced Damon who was smiling slightly, eyes glittering.
An image flashed in her mind, of him doing what he was now and her running from him. Then another of him catching her and tickling her, she could almost feel his soft hands traveling up and down her sides, making her laugh. And then last, of them against her door, kissing softly in the empty, candle lit hallway where they were now.
She shook her head to clear the thoughts and turned back to walk toward her room. As she got her key to unlock her door, Damon caught her wrist, and stopped her. Gently, but purposely as to get her attention.
"What do you want?" she asked him, not nastily but not very nicely either.
"Why do you not want me going after you, like a good prince?" He asked, smiling at her.
"Because I know that you will run away again." she told him, happy to see him look away as if stung. "I'm not letting you do that to me again." she said, letting just the slightest hint of her pain into her voice. She then put the key in and opened the door.
"I am sorry if I hurt you, My Lady." He said softly, more images flashing thought her mind of herself with him. "But I was not ready to play this game. Now I feel ready, and since I have come competition, I feel more comfortable." He said to her.
She smiled at him and said, "Then let the games begin."
