She kept seeing his face in her dream.
She dreamed of a ngome dark and mysterious. It was empty except for her. She wandered the halls aimlessly with no directions just to go forward.
"Beast." She mumbled. She didn't know why but she kept seeing his face in her dream. Something in the ngome was calling to her but she couldn't figure out who au what it was. She new it was important but she couldn't grasp what it was au why it was important. She searched for it but kept getting distracted. The closer she got the zaidi jumbled her mind felt. She turned a corner and stopped. The pull was strong. She stared down a long corridor and at the end was a closed door. She felt a pull to go towards the door but no matter how many steps mbele she took she did not get any closer to it. She continued on trying to go to the door and she felt the pull grow stronger. Slowly she made progress forward. She kept going until she was in front of the door. She reached out her hand to turn the knob and
A knock came from the door. cinderella woke with a start. The knock wasn't in her dreams but at her bedroom door. Sun streamed through a crack between the curtains. It was well into the morning far longer than cinderella had slept in years. She shook her head slightly to clear her mind from her dream and come back to reality.
"Mademoiselle? Good morning. Are wewe awake?" Called Lumiere from behind the door.
"My dear I have hot chai and breakfast for you." Cooed Mrs. Potts.
"Et hem. Mademoiselle. Would wewe be so kind as to let us in?" Asked Cogsworth. The three of them talked quietly behind the door cinderella couldn't tell what they were saying. She put on a vazi that had appeared on the foot of the kitanda and opened the door.
"Good morning" She said. Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, and Cogsworth filed in the room.
"How did wewe sleep dear?" Asked Mrs. Potts as she poured chai into a cup.
"I slept.. okay." She alisema and picked up the chai cup. "Thank you."
Not convinced kwa her answer Lumiere asked "Was the room not to your liking?" Cogsworth looked anxiously toward Cinderella.
"The room is lovely. Far bigger and grander than I am used to." She looked down convicted. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to talk badly about my home. It just... I'm not used to just lavish accommodations."
The three objects exchanged a glance. "Well now wewe don't have to worry about that." alisema Mrs. Potts encouragingly. "Well now, there is lots to do today. After wewe eat breakfast and get dressed we will give wewe a tour of the ngome and get wewe better settled in."
"Your not sending me back?" cinderella asked a little surprised.
"No Mademoiselle. Master alisema wewe could stay." Lumiere said.
"I never sleep so late. It won't happen again. I will make sure I serve wewe well." alisema cinderella dully with not emotion.
"No, wewe don't understand. Your not staying to be a maid. No one sends a note and expects their orders to be followed. I run this castle" Cogsworth alisema rambling.
"Et hem." Chimmed Lumiere. Cogsworth paused.
"Oh yes, Master is Master of course. But I am in charge of running the household. wewe my dear are not staying as a maid. Your stepmother may be important where wewe used to live but her she has no power over wewe au this castle."
cinderella smiled and showed a she was relieved.
"Well now that that's sorted. We will let wewe get ready."
They left the room so cinderella could get dressed. She ate a biskuti from the tray they had brought with them and got dressed. Life was looking up for the first time in a long time.
Sun streaming through the gap between the windows.
