Fai's P.O.V
After an hour of walking, I wanted to give up. I try my best to not disturb anyone's peace and not to walk where I may not be wanted, to not overstep boundaries. I asked the nicest-looking staff if they knew May's mother, but no one knows.
It would be so much easier if I knew her name.
It was now fully dark and the staff was making their way to their chambers. Exhausted from the constant stares and fake smiles I decided to make my way to my own room.
On the way to my room, I noticed an open door with numerous books. A library.
Just one peek and I'll leave. One Peak. Libraries are usually for the public so I'm not overstepping boundaries, right?
I step inside the most beautiful library ever. The moonlight illuminating the room was big and books everywhere, it looks like something from a fantasy. While leaving, a book caught my eyes. The same book that got destroyed by my aunt.
I grabbed the book without thinking and sat down in one of the nearby seats, time passed and I forgot where I was.
"What are you doing here?" A voice booms, making me jump.
Oh, shit.
I look up and see that the voice belongs to the King. I clearly shut the book and get up, speechless.
"I said, what are you doing in here?" He yells louder, scaring me even more. I looked into his eyes, hypnotized and scared not knowing what to say. "Did you forget how to speak, little girl?"
Little Girl?
Just when I am about to say something, I hear a blood-curdling scream.
Reyna. I bow down and rush past the King, making my way towards the scream.
I reached my room to see the girls and some staff crowding around my assigned room. Meredith and Charles give me a once over and look behind me. I was in such a rush, I didn't notice the King behind me.
"What happened?" He demands in an irritated and commanding voice.
At least he isn't yelling anymore.
"They're dead," Reyna says sobbing.
Dead? Who?
"Who?" His majesty asks, his voice now monotoned. I push past the girls and enter the room. There they were, Skylar, Floretta, Lisa, Opal, and Amethyst.
They were all covered in their own vomit and foaming at the mouth.
Poisoned.
"How did this happen?"
"I believe it was the food, your majesty." A guard answer.
"B-but I had the food," Reyna says, tears are still falling out of her eyes. The room around me begins to blur. I might have not known the girls, but dead bodies have never sat right with me.
Bile rises up my throat, but nothing comes out. Before I could say anything, the room went dark as I hit the ground behind me.
