Be Careful When You Bite Me

I examined my reflection and couldn't help but compare myself to the women that I have seen so far. My light brown hair lay pitch straight stopping mid back. My green eyes looked tired, confused and sad. I brought my hands up to trail my fingers across the bite scar on my neck.

How the hell am I going to explain this?

I let my mind wander some more before deciding, this isn't working.My stomach growled, signaling that it was hungry so I stood and exited my room.Careful not to run into anybody,it wasn't long until I realized that I had no idea where I was going.I kept going until I saw a maid. I opened my mouth to ask her but, like the other one, she just sped up and walked away.I sighed and walked some more. I noticed that the castle was silent.

Too silent.

Shouldn't there be an echo of some poor helpless screaming humans like in the movies? Except this isn't some horror movie. This is horrific reality and it alone is providing me with more terror than any movie I had ever watched. A couple of minutes later another maid walked by. She sped when she got near me but I wasn't going to let another maid slip. I jumped in front of her, blocking her path. She stepped to the side and I followed.

"May I help you?" she calmly asked.

"Yes, can you tell me if I had grown spider legs? Because every darn maid I try to speak to runs away from me," I snapped.

"Your sarcasm is uncalled for" she snapped back.

"So was your rudeness," I said. I couldn't help but notice a similar scar on her neck.

Her face turned red," was there anything you wanted?"

"Where can I get some food," I felt my stomach growl again as if on cue.

"You can try the kitchen, first floor," and with that, she stepped to the side and walked away.
