Later that evening Grianne, a brownie house servant personally appointed to me by Niall, escorted me to my new living chambers in Castle Brigant. I could not believe that I would be living in a real life castle.

"Welcome Princess Sookie to your living chambers. I have to say I am most excited to meet you. We have heard many stories of your bravery and beauty. I see they were not an exaggeration!" exclaimed Grianne.

I was taken aback by Grianne's words and by the unaccustomed compliments.

"It's nice to meet you as well," I shyly responded; being careful not to say thank you.

My dearly departed cousin, Claudine, informed me once that it was etiquette not to thank a fairy. More recently, in a letter that my grandmother left to me along with a cluviel dor, clarified that to thank a fairy made you obligated to them in some way.

Grianne briefly curtsied and then proceeded to show me my chambers in Castle Brigant.

I could not believe what I was seeing! My eyes went from one object to the next, "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore," I said to myself.

"Excuse me Princess, did you say something?" Grianne asked me puzzled.

"Nothing," I replied; feeling a nervous smile pull at the corners of my mouth. I just got to Faery and I wanted everyone to have a good impression of me. I definitely did not want to be known as "Crazy Sookie" here as well.

The main living area was larger than my entire farmhouse in Bon Temp. There were two chaise lounges facing each other by a large marble fireplace. Over the fireplace mantle was a square gemstone studded mirror; I'm sure the gems were the genuine article and not like the ones in the costume jewelry I had at home. There was an additional sitting area at the far end of my main living chambers in a deep blue fabric. They were covered with the softest pillows I had ever seen. I could definitely see myself cuddling up there to read a good book. There was also an oak writing desk and chair by a large picture window. The window was adorned with ceiling to floor heavy fabric curtains. The curtains portrayed various whimsical fairy beings dancing and playing music. The floor was also covered in a finely woven rug with the Brigant Crest in the middle.

My bedroom was off of the main living area which was also lavishly decorated. The four poster bed was huge and covered in what looked to be layers and layers of silk and lace. There was another gemstone studded mirror in the bedroom; this one floor length. As I looked up at the ceiling, I saw a beautiful painting of angels, some flying and others sitting on large puffy white clouds. They were carrying baskets filled with flowers.

"I hope your quarters are to your liking Princess?" questioned Grianne.

"Oh my stars, Yes!" I replied; overwhelmed with what I had seen so far.

"Would you like for me to draw you an evening bath? We have fabulous bath oils and soaps that are just fit for well . . . a princess," Grianne said with a giggle.

I couldn't help but giggle in return at my new maidservant. Her cheerfulness was infectious.

"That sounds wonderful. I would love a bath Grianne," I responded.

I proceeded to follow Grianne into the bathroom. The bathroom was the most opulent (another word I had learned from my word of the day calendar) one I had ever seen; and I had seen some amazing bathrooms, considering most vampires splurged when it came to this area of their home. The bathroom was octagonal in shape and covered from ceiling to floor with white marble. In the center of the room was a claw-foot tub made out of solid gold. The claws on the tub reminded me of the old tub that I had in my bathroom in Bon Temp except these claws looked larger and sharper. There were four pillars in each corner of the room also made out of white marble. On top of each pillar were carvings of winged fairies that looked similar to the pixies that I met on my way to the castle. Each carved fairy held onto a connecting swag of the sheerest white silk.

I heard Grianne whisper some words under her breath and water seemed to magically fill the tub. I was so astonished by the sight.

"Which oils and soaps would you like Princess Sookie?" questioned Grianne.

I pulled my eyes away from the tub and responded, "I don't know . . . whatever you think is best."

"Well we have rowan wood, chamomile, and flax oil and for soaps we have fairy bonnet, lavender, and moon fruit. I think the rowan wood oil would be best. It is known to be very healing. . .and the chamomile soap. . . yes for purification and sleep. " she quietly said to herself.

All of a sudden there was a pop and a glass container of the rowan wood oil appeared in Grianne's hand. She then placed a few drops of the oil in the water. She whispered a few more words and then the water in the tub shimmered to a pale pink. I heard another three pops and Grianne handed me the chamomile soap, a sea sponge, and towel.

"Enjoy your bath Princess Sookie," Grianne said softly. She curtsied to me and then with a pop she was gone.

As I began to soak in the tub, I suddenly felt a magical tingle all over my body. I instantly felt my muscles relax. In fact this was the most relaxed I could remember feeling in a long time.I finished my bath and dried off. When I went to my bedroom I noticed that Grianne had turned down my bed and place a beautiful nightgown and undergarment on the foot of the bed for me.

The undergarment was made of a very sheer white silk but very comfortable. The nightgown was a halter style and also made of the same fabric. The top of the night gown was embroidered with white lace and encrusted with small diamonds! The bottom was layered in uneven layers of the sheer fabric but all my important bits were thankfully covered. I'm sure the nightgown cost more than my entire yearly salary at Merlott's.

Lying in bed in my new chambers, I thought about all of the wonders I had seen on my first day in faery and most of all the overall peacefulness I felt. I could get used to this I thought to myself as I drifted off to sleep.

Compton finally left my office. He is such a douche. Now I can get back to scrolling through my emails. Ah . . . finally just what I was waiting on.

That is it! That was all he wrote! Cryptic fairy! I understood the need to be inconspicuous but that was far too vague. I did not want anyone to find out that Sookie was in fact still among the living; however he could have left a clue to her wellbeing. If one hair on that beautiful blonde head is harmed I will find a way into Faery and drain him dry myself.

What do you think Eric is up to? Sookie sure seems at home in fairy. . . at this point who could blame her
