14

As i was in my room alone, not knowing what i am supposed to do now, i heard a loud sound from outside, like a trumpet. I opened the window and as i saw the sound really commed from a trumpet. Outside there were a couple servants, four of them holding a trumpet and one standing in the middle of them, with a peice of parchment.

"Attention to our new guests!" the one with the parchment said "Dinner will be ready in one hour Make sure you wear a decent oufit from the wardrobe at your disposal. At the next announcement come downstairs and wait there for Her Majesty, the Queen. Remember that you are not allowed to go anywhere else but your rooms, the hallway and the great hall until you are personally told that you are allowed to. - the orders of They're Majesty, the King and the Queen Pricero"

I noticed that before i didn't realised there was a huge wardrobe built in the wall. I opened it and saw that it was at least 5 times bigger than the room i had to share with Johanna for almost two years.

Two years...

This meant that I was about 16 already, and now I'd normally had to go to college and study, but no, i was in a dramatic story that seemed completely fake. It maked no sense at all; magic? Rituals? Dreamaros? It wasn't like i was in the world of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. No, this had to be some kind of prank. Or at least this was what i trought.

I spent about 50 minutes in the giant wardrobe before picking a beautiful green and turquoise formal dress. It wasn't too puffy or too slick and it was exactly my size.

I dressed in it as fast as i could and waited dor the next announcement, wich commed in about 2 minutes.

"Attention to our new guests! The dinner is ready, make sure you are in a decent oufit and cone downstairs in the hallway and wait for her Majesty, the Queen. From there the Queen will guide you to the great hall where you will eat with Her Majesty. - the orders of they're Majesty, the Queen and the King Pricero"

As before I've choosen some nice short heels, but i didn't wanted to accidentally break them or hurt my feet, i rapidly taked them on and went outside my room. It took me a little while to try and accommodate with them so i was able to go down the stairs without tripping or needing to hold the railing, but i got exactly at the perfect time.

I realised that ihis was the first time i saw Johanna in a cottage core style, and not in her usual goth e-girl style. I noticed that she actually seemed kind od cute and not as creepy as before, even though her pale skin, dark circles and blue lips gived her a cadaveric look. Cam showed up in his usual t-shirt and jeans, but with a coat on top. Renna... Well, she was wearing a large shirt that seemed to be folded at least seven times at the sleeves and really long sweatpants.

The Queen appeared in an even more large and puffy dress and more makeup. She looked hilarious and i tried to find out who needs more time to be done: a Queen or a clown?

Anyways, she guided us to a huge and large toom wich seemed to be the great hall. No wonder why it's name was that one. Inside was a really long table that must have been at least 10 meters long and 2 wide. On the table were a couple tea pots with cups at every seat, little carafes with milk, sugar and honey and plates with biscuits.

"Okay, so we are definitely still somewhere in Britain" i said inside my head.

We sat down and drank some tea without saying a word, wich to be honest was kind of akaward, but i had nothing to say and i was waiting for others to start a subject, but nobody said anything because pribably they were thinking the same. Thanks Renna for nothing, she could at least change our mind and make us say something interesting, but sge didn't. By the way, Renna also started acting even weirder than before. She looked horrified, like she just saw a ghost or something (who knows, mabye she actually did) and was just staring in a void. It was creeping me out to look at her. In the two years i saw her only three times: when we first meet in the van, when they transported us fron the old grandparents-style house here and now.

In two years.

Something was really weird about her. This wasn't something i saw with my eyes or anything like this, i just...

Knew...

I remembered that i didn't knew my power, so i decided to ask the Queen.

"Your Majesty, do you know anything about my power?"

She pertended she didn't heard me so i just keept my mouth shout. Probably she didn't knew or she had a reason why she didn't told me, otherwise probably she was just rude and annoying, pretending she doesn't hear people when they talk.

Finally, the food arrived. There were shrimps, salads, appetizers, and a bunch of gourmet food on huge plates. It was like the heaven of food.

There were loads of food I've never heard of, but the food i already knew and liked tasted even more amazing than i remembered it was.

We all keept silent during the whole dinner, exept for Johanna who said

"Your majesty, this food is the most tasty thing i ever tried in my life. Could i ask what is the secret of it?"

The Queen didn't answered, again pretending she didn't heard us. It was something strange going around this. No answers, no eye contact, and she barley even touched her food. I had to find out what is going on.

Obviously, i was thinking at the fact that mabye she just is like this, or mabye the fact that she just hates us or something like that. But it was anyways weird, if she was just like this than she wouldn't order dinner and if she hated us than she wouldn't have invited us to eat with her. So as I said the only option was that something was going on, but the only problem was that I had absolutely no clue about what is was and why it was so it all left me with a blurry mind.
