Gracie's Point of view…..
I opened my eyes and groaned. I was sore and I can't even tell how. I looked around and realized that it was not my room. I was in this strange looking place. The side of my neck stings and I touched it, there was an opening there,some kind of a bite. My brain was not possessing anything so I could not understand what I was doing in the room. I closed my eyes and sighed then stood up with a force. Today is my Seventeen birthday. I mean yesterday was because my eyes hit the wall and I saw a strange looking wall clock, 00: 30. That's the beginning of a new day.
Did I forget my birthday? First time in history, I did not remember when I was born until the next day.
I pouted my lips and started to leave the room to know where I was. I took a step and I felt cold and guess what? I was naked. My eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
Like for real?I am naked and it's hit me that whoever brought me here took advantage of me.
I was so angry and this murderous's thought came into my mind.
I am going to murder whoever it's that took advantage of me.
"Gracie, calm down a little"
I told myself. I breathed in then out. I saw a blue gown by the side and undies. I just picked the dress and wore it. I will manage the dress like that, I can't wear undies that are not mine. I made to leave the room but I saw a picture, there was a note on it,
"I will you cherish for eternity"
"Awwn, that's a poetry line. Whoever wrote it will do well in art"
I turned and started walking out of the room, just almost to the door and I caught the reflection of who I think I am on the wall mirror. I looked back at the picture and saw that the reflection on the mirror is the same as the person in the picture, which means I am the person in the picture. Memories began flooding back in my mind and it's down on me that I had come for a marriage ceremony and it turned out that I was the one getting married.
"Theophilus!"
I screamed and went in search of him.
I am actually in the witch's domain. Did he sleep with me? How, why did I not remember?.
"Wait a minute, this gown is mine and the undies are mine"
I shook my head and continued walking, I don't even know what I was going to do when I see him.
Maybe I will poke his nose and ask him why he took my virginity without my knowledge. He is a witch, I am sure he might have cast a spell on me.
I continued walking without knowing where I was going. I came to this long corridor that has pictures on the wall. I stood and started admiring them. It was beautiful and whoever did the job, did it perfectly. I have never seen any artwork this beautiful.
A picture caught my attention the most and that's my picture. The only difference between the picture and I is the dress. While me in the picture is dressed royal, me not in the picture was dressed simply. Why will a picture of me be here?.
Things are going on here and I don't understand them. First, I came here for a marriage and I turned out to be my own marriage and secondly, a picture of me is here. When was the picture and why is it here. There is only one person who could answer the question and that is Theophilus.
Since it looks like the corridor could be leading outside the big house, I turned back and started going up. I heard voices and followed the sound and where it led to was a large room. It looks like a place for the Kings. There was a big silver throne in the middle. I noticed something about witches through Theophilus. Witches love silver. Almost everything they have is silver.
Apart from the throne in the middle, there were seats and it was filled with people. There were about sixteen and the atmosphere was tense. I sighted Theophilus, he was standing at a corner, so restless. I have a hitch that why the place has to be this tense is because of me.
I looked from one person to another and the last person my eyes rested on was my mom. She is also here, does she know these people?"
"Mom!"
I muttered and all eyes turned towards me.
