Drizella
The four of us were walking in silence, none of us knowing exactly where we were walking to, but simply wandering, letting our minds settle.

* * *DrizellaThe Prince had shown us each to our personal rooms in the guest quarters where Maddie was. Since we were already with her, there was no more harm in being around her longer. Still, we kept the door to her room closed just in case.Ella and I were given separate rooms, but the doctor had spooked us so badly that we didn't want to be alone and spent the evening together in her room, talking.Dr. Laënnec had ordered us to burn our clothes and wash up. We took off our dresses so that we were only left in our shifts and threw our dresses into the fireplace. We took a step back and watched the gowns burn, feeling guilt since they were both Ana's dresses. We stood in silence until we couldn't distinguish their colors anymore and then sighed.&
Cinderella, Queen of Rats Late Night Visitor
*Mature Content*I was unsure if anyone was indeed at the door but I cracked it open to peek.Peter was standing there shirtless with his hands in his pockets and his hair dripping wet. 'Am I having another dream about him?' I couldn't help but think to myself. He stood there with his mouth cracked as if he was going to say something but remained silent. "Um.. come on in," I opened the door and moved out of his way. He stepped in just past me and I saw him look around the room as I closed the doors behind him."What are you doing here, Peter?" I crossed my arms to cover the bits of myself that were slightly exposed due to the silk shift."I just um..*ahem* I uh.. wanted to make sure that you were okay."
Cinderella, Queen of Rats Maddie
Across the hall from where Peter and Drizella were sharing an intimate night was the room that the sick maid Maddie was in. Maddie was the head servant Malcolm's sister, and he had come to watch over here along with a fellow maid named Alma, who was there when she first collapsed in the hallway.The Prince and Ella were quick to arrive after hearing the glasses shatter on the ground that Maddie had been carrying and Alma was thankful for that. There may have been many maids in the castle, but everyone knew Malcolm, and so, everyone knew Maddie. She certainly did not consider them to be close friends, more acquaintances than anything, but Alma could see the pain on Malcolm's face as he watched his sister and felt a piece of her heart break for him.The doctor that came to examine Maddie earlier that day had concluded that she had the plague and it
Cinderella, Queen of Rats It's All My Fault
"No, she's not okay and it's all my fault!" Ella exclaimed as she paced the room while holding her head between her hands as if it were about to explode."What on earth are you talking about?" Driz inquired.Ella sat on the edge of the bed and took a deep breath before speaking, her voice still shaky. "I was wandering in the hallway last night because I couldn't sleep and I overheard Alma and Malcolm talking in Maddie's room," Driz was confused at why this had Ella so worked up so she stayed silent to let her finish, "I heard Alma mention a scrap of a dress that was pink and gold that was found while the maids were cleaning up the ballroom.""So? She found a piece of a dress that she liked, why are you so worked up?"Ella stood u
Cinderella, Queen of Rats The First Victim
"Good morning, miss Drizella, I was just about to check on miss Maddie. Care to join me?" The Prince offered to Drizella and she walked a step behind him until they reached the door to the room that Maddie had been recovering in.*KNOCK KNOCK*It was Alma who opened the door for us and greeted us with a bow of her head before letting us enter. Driz gasped when she saw that Maddie was awake and sipping tea that Malcolm was holding for her. She hadn't seen Maddie since before the amputation and was shocked to see her covered in blood-stained cloths, the sight alone made her joints ache."Maddie," the Prince said with a sigh of relief. Malcolm put down the tea that he was holding for Maddie to sip and bowed to the Prince. "I am so glad to see you okay." The Prince smiled brightly at
Cinderella, Queen of Rats Remedies
Alma walked Dr. Laënnec in silence to the greenhouse where Peter was. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke you would wish he hadn't.Alma entered the greenhouse first and addressed Peter "Mr. Callahan, Dr. Laënnec wanted to speak to you." Peter's eyebrows went up in surprise when he saw the Frenchman standing there staring at his hands which had been dehydrating more flowers."What can I do for you Mr. Laënnec?" he asked while wiping his hands dry."Monsieur, you created the brew for Madam Madeline that she drank this morning, oui?"Peter nodded his head "Yes, sir, it was my mixture."The doctor looked at Peter curiously and let his eyes w
Cinderella, Queen of Rats Meet The Parents?
Drizella was on the opposite side of the room from Peter, laughing with the others in the room at Maddie's sparky remarks when he made his way to her. Still shy of making eye contact with the man who had left her this morning, he had to put a finger on her chin and encourage her to face him. Their eyes met and he could feel her breath getting shy, "Hi," it came out barely above a whisper to him.Looking into her big puppy dog e

While on horseback heading to his parent's estate, Peter had looked over at Drizella who was riding a short distance beside him, and watched her intently for a short while until she met his eyes and blushed before asking "What are you looking at?""Where did you learn to ride?" He asked.
