I gently felt the part of my head she had bandaged, it wasn't as big as I'd thought, she said it was just the blood that made it seem so bad, she'd gone into the centre of town to diliver a letter to be brought to her husband who was off in paris for work reasons.

I'd argued with her, that I should leave and stay somewhere else, but she argued back and said that he wouldn't return for another few days and that I was allowed to stay, though I was still quite unsure.

"The things that I get myself into." I muttered to myself as I swept the kitchen floor, I thought I'd help with the cleaning while I was here, it was very rude to just hole up in her home without doing something to help.

I few moments later while I hummed as I swept, a knock sounded at the door making me jump, 'Who could be here at this time?' I thought questioningly, it was mid afternoon, it didn't seem like a time that anyone would be visiting, moving to the door and setting the broom against the table.

I went to answer the door, quickly brushing my hair away from my face and straightening my new dress, Alvara had made me a light purple dress with white frilly lace on the edge of the short sleeves and the bottom and a thick ribbon around the waist, tied in a bow in the back.

Taking a quick breath I opened the door slowly, standing on the other side was a young girl, she had long golden curls and lightly tanned skin, her eyes were a bright blue and she gazed up at me with a smile. "Hello Miss." She said cheerfully with a light curtsy.

I smiled fakely and curtsyed back, making her giggle. "My name is Alexandria Filicens, is a..." She glanced down at a paper she held. "Miss' Alvara Woodock home?" She asked sweetly and gazed up at me. "I'm sorry, Alvara is not home currently, would you like to leave a message with me?"

I questioned and smiled tightly back at her. "Are you a relative?" She asked with the slightest tilt of her head. "Yes, Alvara is my cousin." I answered, lightly leaning on the doorframe. "Okay, please tell Miss' Woodock, that she is to arrive at the Filicens' residance for a feast tonight."

The girl smiled and backed away from the door. "I never caught your name." She said. "Sorana Mercy." I said with a smaller fake smile. "Pleasure to meet you Miss' Mercy." She said then turned on her heel and walked away.

I just sighed and closed the door, leaning back on it I slid down it and landed with a thud, dreading having to do anything or go anywhere, I was worn, tired of life itself, my thoughts taking a interesting turn. 'I wish I were far away from here, in my dreams possibly? It wouldn't matter, as long as it were far away, somewhere beautiful, peaceful, my life has never been a heaven, but a hell, a beautiful, painful, beautiful hell...'
