SILVER-HEART

Sleep has never been so peaceful but ever since I came to this strange place I knew what ’peaceful sleep’ meant, having no worries at the back of your head. I groaned tussling and turning against the bed, the mattress was the softest I have ever laid on and it made my body feel so light, it was just like the stream but this was different, it was like I was on something fluffy and it brought relaxation to my muscles... a feeling I have never experienced before, the feeling of something gentle against my skin was simply smooching.

I have only known the cold floor and over the years I became comfortable with it, not complaining and accepting my fate, instead, it became where I found peace in myself because sleep was able to induce that kind of peace away from the real world even though it was just temporary. Even right now I lay on the floor because that was what I was used to, the hardened floor that made my muscles sore, I can’t help it... my body was craving that feeling because without it I don’t know what. But wait...

I felt my palm on the bed, bed? I was lying on the bed and not the floor? How did I end up here? Did I sleepwalk into it? Maybe that must be the case, my body must have been craving something soft so I sleepwalked all the way to the bed.

I groaned again, slowly opening my eyes, and met with dim blue eyes staring back at me. I blinked because it felt like I must be seeing things because there was no way someone would be in my room for I knew the routine, Elvenia will come to wake me up as usual for a bath, so what was Sophie doing here?

I gasped as the realization struck me hard and I got up with a start and pulled the sheets with me.

Sophie kept her piercing glare on me with a pouting face like I just stole her toy or something. What was she doing in my room? Wait, I looked around the unfamiliar place, okay this is not my chamber because this was the biggest, bigger than mine combine and the setting was on a much darker tone than mine and the antiques that were spotted and the paintings on the walls were definitely not the same from my room. Whose room is this?

"What are you doing on Muster’s bed!"

I turned to Sophie who pointed an accusing finger at me. What did she just say? I’m on Williams’ bed?! I panicked, my body shocked and I was unable to stop myself as I jumped out of the bed like the sheets burn me, I twisted my ankle but not enough to hurt me but to make me fall and the next my body was dropping.

I closed my eyes for the impact but I got nothing rather as I fell in a strong set of arms. I lifted my gaze and met with a blank white mask.
