Chapter 4: Chapter four
Waking up to the sound of shuffling outside my door, l look at the bedside clock for any indication as to what time it is. To my surprise, it's only three o'clock in the morning. Groaning, l lift the covers off of my body and make my way to the door.
Shock is evident on my face when l see Master pacing up and down in front of the door. He hasn't yet registered the fact that l have graced him with my presence, l take the time to study him. He has broad shoulders and toned muscular arms. His tank top is glued to his body revealing a six pack, yum. His pyjama bottom hangs low on his hips showing a v that goes Lord knows where. A 'h-uhmmm' sound snaps me out of my trance.
"are you done checking me out" he asks in his panty dropping nonchalant tone.
"I wasn't checking you out, l was curious as to what you were doing pacing outside my door..... Well?"
"It didn't register to me that this is your room, my apologies. I will leave you to it" and with that he is gone.
I enter my room again and make my way to the bed. Sleep does not visit me and after countless minutes of tossing and turning, l finally make the decision to go to the library. I quietly open the door and walk the billion corridors before l finally make it to the library. Knowing this is forbidden territory, l try my best to make as little noise as possible. The room is dark with the only light coming from the the stars outside.
I make my way to the history section trying to find the book l was about to read earlier on but unfortunately l cannot remember the title. Pulling out random books and skimming through them proves to be an impossible yet exhausting task. As lm about to give up, l grab ahold of a book only for the shelf to open up to reveal a staircase that is ascending. Curiosity gets the best of me and l find myself climbing up the stairs.
The first thing l notice when l get to the top is a living area that has three pure white couches facing each other, in the middle of the couches is a rectangular glass table that has a stack of newspapers ontop of it. The floor is clothed in a white fluffy carpet. The room looks elegant and makes me wonder who it belongs to. Upon further inspection, at the corner of the room is a door. Walking closer to the door, l turn the crystal door knob but l find that its locked.
I let out a sigh of disappointment and make my way out of the mystery room and back to the library. The door closes as soon as lm out of the room as if it could sense my departure. The first thing l notice is that the sun has started to rise and l know that is my queue to leave before l get caught.

The knock on my door wakes me up from my dreamless slumber. " come in" l call out only for Rose to enter the room. I look at her in confusion as to why she is even knocking.
"since you are better, l think knocking is the best alternative in order to give you your privacy" she answers. She walks up to the bed only to place a tray on my lap.
"eat up, l will be back in 30 minutes" she says making her way out of the room.
I walk to the ensuite bathroom and brush my teeth and wash my face. I eat my breakfast and true to her word, Rose is back before l know it.
"Rose" l call out to her.
"Yes love, you know now that l think of it, l dont know what your name is" she inquires
"that's what l wanted to talk to you about" l say to her.
"Im not sure l follow" she says, confusion lacing her voice.
"I mean to say that l thought you would have the slightest idea as to who l am because l sure as hell don't. Also, l met Master yesterday and he told me about the memory loss thing"
" well l dont know what to tell you because l also don't know, but the doctor says your amnesia is not permanent. So don't stress or strain yourself, your memory will come back before you know it." she says
"If you are sure. Do you mind telling me where we are right now" l ask
"This is Ariendale Kingdom. We are currently in the Palace" she says. Now that is a surprise to me.
"Palace, as in the place where Kings and Queens live. What is this Ariendale you talk about" l say voicing my skepticism. It all sounds like a children's bedtime story if you ask me.
"Yes and if you would like, l have to go to town to stock up on groceries and l can take you with me. Plus we need to get you clothes seeing as you will be staying here for quite a while " she says. Just yesterday she was telling to stay in bed and now she is inviting me on shopping trips.
" what happened to staying in bed and getting better huh" l ask her smugly.
"l only said that to keep you out of trouble" she says laughing. Her laugh is so contagious that l find myself laughing along with her.
" tell me more of this Ariendale kingdom, although l do think you are messing with me" l ask.
"As much as l would love to sit here with you and talk, l have work to get back to. l will tell you everything tomorrow on our way to town" and with that she is out.
I remain seated as l try to absorb all the information l have just obtained. The more l think about it the more questions l have. Nothing makes sense. I find myself questioning how l got here in the first place.
