Chapter 7: A strange dream

Emily

All day long, I helped Adine to cook. I took the opportunity to hide pieces of meat. At nightfall, after eating well in the kitchen, I brought with me the pieces of meat that I hid. Mathe after washing came near me and I whisper in his ear:

- I have a surprise for you.

- What is this ?

- Look at .

I show her the hidden pieces in the inner pocket of my coat, she looks at me with my eyes wide open:

- Ho my god .... Did you send it to me?

- Yes, treat yourself.

She throws herself on it. It's been so long since we ate meat!

- Hmm ... it's delicious. It's so good! May the Lord bless you ... You are my soul mate. Hummmm .... thank you thank you ..

- It's enough now. You pretend I have released you from here.

- But, with these meats, you made me travel for a while out of here. I will keep two pieces for tomorrow.

- If the mice smell the smell, they will fly it to you.

- You're right . I want to keep them so much and feel them from time to time! But, it is impossible, the mice may take it to me. I will put them in my mouth and chew them very gently until tomorrow.

- How stupid you!

- I'm serious? Do you know how long I have not felt the smell of meat? I will enjoy it as much as possible.

Three days later

Today, I have to go back to the fields. But I don't want to want! If I could hurt myself again to stay at the palate and be able to eat good foods.

I don't want this life! Why is fate so cruel? I am not made for this kind of life, no I am made for a princess life. I don't know why, but I know I'm different. Already that I don't have a wolf when yesterday was my birthday. And I didn't feel anything! Normally, I had to transform myself but it was not the case. My mother told me that I was different, that I will transform myself to my eighteenth birthday. And it was yesterday. Yesterday, I felt anything. Nothing, but I had a strange dream. A dream where a strange being appeared. He called me my daughter! How can I be his daughter if my father died before me.

He gave me a kiss on the temple then he put his hand in his chest and he removed his heart ... Yes his heart and he put it in my chest. A strange dream indeed. I quickly forgot it because it is very strange. But, this morning, I noticed a short trace on the side of my heart. No, I don't think it has to do with my dream. But it's still weird.

If I have to regain work in the field, that means that this evening I have to pass to see the king so that he hurt him as he injured all those who have passed before. And yesterday, the last one who arrived from his home was in a more than lamentable state. She is currently in a coma. How does he sleep at night with everything he does to us? And no one can intervene for us? We are treated less well than animals.

- Stop dreaming, let's go.

- Mathe, you almost kite me. I wonder what I will find to inflict myself so as not to go to the field.

- You will stop me right away. You are a patient. Do you realize that you want to get sick not to work?

- So what? It's my body and I do what I want.

- If you try to redo me this same blow, I will denounce you. By dint of fleeing reality, you risk doing something that we cannot treat. You will stop my childishness.

- Yes, mom, I ask him where my mother is? I haven't seen it since.

- I know, all we hope is that she is alive.

We hang out to go to the field. They no longer put us chains. We can walk more freely.

As usual, our goalkeeper, one of the girls who accepts is to do not do the country work.

It's really deplorable, we arrived so low. I got hit because I dragged my feet too much.

We go back to the palace at nightfall.

I'm very afraid, tonight, he's going to kill me, I risk losing my life tonight. What will I become? I'm going to take my shower.

Adine has just arrived.

- Eat, before I accompanied you.

I take all my time to eat. If I could continue to eat until tomorrow morning, it would be good.

After an hour of time, I finally finished.

- Let's go.

I am very slowly. Every step I take close to my death. Because, inevitably I will die. She takes me to an office, she strikes, I hear that voice that ices my blood:

- Enter.

If I could run away.
