Mias and Elle: Elias' Songbird 2

Chapter 1 – Not where I’m supposed to be?

Darkness. That was all she could see… a tired, drained feeling surrounded her in her unconscious state.

As the tiredness, slowly drained away; she registered the feel of bed linen underneath her and the heaviness of her unopened lids.

“Hmm, I must’ve fell asleep” she thought, as her mind slowly began to awaken. Fighting through the tempting clutches of sleep and forcing open her weary eyes, she awoke.

Upon opening her eyes, she was greeted by soft, plush, dark-coloured linen sheets of the highest quality and a large comfortable bed that dwarfed her in its size. As she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and feebly pushed herself up, she also noticed that her current attire was quite odd; one could describe it as a medieval nightgown of some sort. What more, the room she was in also shared this “medieval” theme; a fireplace with carved with finest materials stood further off in front of the bed, a dark red, plush chair with a high back like one of those “storyteller aristocrats with the red velvet robe” would have, among other fancy medieval things.

This was NOT her room.

The woman bolted fully upright, clutching the back of her suddenly aching head as she did so. Juniper hoped with all her might this was a dream of some sort, that she’ll wake up as soon as her little sis wakes her and everything will be back to normal, her eyes blinking hard, trying to escape this medieval dream world.

“So, you’re awake”

Juniper whipped her head towards the source of the sultry voice, her eyes being greeted by an unfamiliar sight; a tall, tanned man with olive skin, messy, unkempt hair and dark eyes surrounded by some sort of black eye shadow leaned against the door to the room with a triumphant smirk on his face, donned in a dark, medieval leather outfit.

She froze. The voice… it all came back to her in a flash. She remembered that night…
Her walk home, her distraction and her capture.
