A young woman walked up to me. She had long, sleek, white hair, one blue eye, tan skin, but her most distinct feature was the thick bandage over her other eye. "Follow me." She whispered. We started up the grand staircase. The house was truly beautiful… The gold adornments, the delicately crafted chandelier. I had only seen homes like this in my dreams, where I was the princess and everything was back to before it happened. "We're here." The maid said softly. I guess I had not been paying attention because all of a sudden we were in front of the room. She pressed open the door and motioned for me to go through. "Oh."I said and slowly walked into an elegant room. It was blue with silver embellishments on the wall. At the end of the room, there was a grand window that led out onto a balcony. A dressing room was on the left and the bed was on the right. The maid gently set my suitcase onto the bed. "Is the master always so touchy? I mean, I don't mind, but I am curious." She nodded and put her hand over the eye with the bandage, "The master has always been that way." "Well, is there anything I should about when I am working for the master?" But before she could respond I heard someone yell "HANNAH!" The maid gasped, "I have to go!" And she sped out the door. I sat on the bed and admired the room for some time, when something caught my eye in the dressing room. I slowly walked over pulled the door carefully open. A beautiful dress lay in front. I ran my hand down the dress. It was soft and delicate. Three tiers of chiffon flowed down off a blue bodice that had been delicately embroidered in white. I lifted the dress off the hook and pulled it out of the closet. I wrapped my hand gently around it and pressed it against myself.
It was so beautiful… I only wish I could own something as beautiful, and then I could be like all the wealthy girls and wears these every day
I started to hum, and twirl. Then my twirling turned to spinning, till I was dancing around the room. "Hahahahah! What are you doing?" I fell back and saw Alois standing in the door way. "You startled me! Please don't be angry about the dress!" I gasped. "Why would I be angry? That was hysterical! Do you like that dress?" He walked through the door. "Love it!" It is so beautiful!" I tried to get up with the dress in hand. "Here let me help." He held my hand and exerted as much as he could, "you could have it if you like!" He grunted as he pulled me off the floor. I landed steadily on my feet, "Really? It seems pretty expensive!" "Of course you can! I don't even know who it belongs to…" I flipped out the tag and in fancy lettering it said Madame Trancy. "Your mother… Are you sure you sure you don't want to keep it? For memory sake I mean." He seemed shocked, "Oh my mother. Never mind!" His head dropped, his eyes turned a stormy blue, and a tear cascaded down his cheek. But as soon as he had become sad, he bounced back up. "Anyway I would like to invite you to dinner. Usually I eat alone, you see." "Sure, if it is allowed." "Of course it is!" He smiled. "Claude will come get you when it is ready. Put on that dress if you'd like!" Alois said as he strolled out the door. I sighed and flopped on the bed. What have I gotten myself into…
