A Bleeding Princess - I

When I finally felt awake, I opened my eyes immediately but closed them wincing at how bright it was. There was a dull ache at the back of my head which made me wonder about what had happened? 

What had happened? 

The brightness somehow subsided and I finally was able to open my eyes. The ceiling above was unfamiliar which meant that I was not in the bedroom that I had been staying in for the past couple of days or let alone by the looks of it I was not in The palace at all. But then where was I? 

"Are you alright?" Someone said and I tried to get up immediately. "Carefully, careful." They said and I winced again looking at the unfamiliar person. 

"Who are you?" I asked the person, unable to keep the question inside me for long. "Why am I here and why is my head paining?" I touched the back of it and felt something. . a cloth?
