Sofia glanced eagerly at the door, her stomach is rumbling again, which means it's time for another meal!
If she guessed correctly, it's already Lunchtime since she finished eating her breakfast a while ago.
A few minutes later, the door opened and the old woman stood in the doorway looking at her.
"Child, follow me..." Hera said.
"Where?"
"I'm going to put you in another room," Hera spoke.
"Just like room #6? " she asked.
"Yeah," Hera replied and walked away.
Sofia grabbed her knapsack and bolted out of the room.
She saw the old woman entered room #5.
When she reached the room. She saw a tray filled with food placed on the table.
Hera looked at the girl. "From now on this is your new room. You can start eating your lunch now," she said and left the room.
Sofia noticed that the room has the same feature as room #6. And the best thing about the room, it has a wall clock!
She smiled a bit and went to the table, she lowered herself on the chair and begin devouring her meals.
Half an hour later, she finished eating all the dishes. She put the plate and dish bowl back on the tray. She rose to her feet and sat on the edge of the bed wondering what to do to pass her time. Five to six hours of waiting for her next meal. That's quite long and nothing to do in between!
She walked towards the door and tried opening it, but it won't budge. She released a deep sigh, dang! she was being locked again!
She went back to bed, lay down, and stared at the ceiling.
A few minutes later, she heard the door opening...
Hera entered the room and looked at her. "Make yourself presentable, the lord will see you in two hours. Hopefully, he will answer all your question so that you will stop pestering me!" she said.
"Thank you, Granny! May I know if your lord is a monster or a human that looks like you?" Sofia inquired.
Hera smiled. "So... tell me.. what do you think of me... human or non-human?"
"Nonhuman!" Sofia answered quickly.
Hera clapped her hands. "Smart girl! Now that you know my identity, behaved yourself and avoid doing things that can annoy me, okay?"
Sofia bit her lip and nods her head. "Ok. "
"Good! I'll come back here after two hours and bring you to my lord," Hera said and went to the table, she picked up the tray.
"Granny, before you go, can you please answer my question? Is your master a scary-looking monster or looks human like you?" Sofia repeated her question.
"Why are you so eager to know?" Hera asked.
"Because the one who abducted me from the forest is a scary-looking monster. Is he the one I'm going to meet later?" Sofia asked.
"It depends on his mood. No more questions, I'm leaving!" Hera replied.
"Thank you for the delicious food, Granny!" Sofia said.
Hera glanced at the girl for a few seconds and exited the room without saying anything.
Sofia sighed deeply. Why that old woman is giving her a hard time? She just asks a simple question and yet the woman refused to answer the truth! How frustrating!
She just wants to know if she's going to see a monster or a human being so that she can prepare herself mentally and not passed out in front of such a horrifying creature!
She rolled her eyes and took a deep breath.
It's comforting to know that they haven't done something bad to her yet, it gives her a little hope that they will eventually release her one of these days.
If they're really bad people, she was already dead by now.
She should take a bath now before Granny comes back for her. She went to the closet and looked at the new clothes. She noticed that there are about seven pairs of clothes, mostly blouses and long flowing skirts. She ran her fingers on the garment, they feel nice to touch, just her type of clothes to wear.
She grabbed one pair and entered the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later, she exited the bathroom, wearing a matching pink blouse and skirt.
Dang! The room has no mirror but she had a small mirror and comb in her knapsack!
She opened the cabinet and fished out the mirror and comb from the pocket of her bag.
She began brushing her below-the-shoulder hair. While brushing her hair she was thinking about how to play her card well. They haven't hurt her yet, but it doesn't mean that they won't! Her main goal is to survive and live another day to wait for the chance to escape and return to the arms of her family.
But the thing is... if they keep her prisoner in this place with no exit an entrance... how could she get out and escape?
She breathed deeply.
There is an entrance and exit somewhere for sure! But the problem is... how to find them?
She remembered that she asked her sister Laura once... Why her brother-in-law can easily appear and disappear instantly? And her sister Laura answered her that it's because Graven uses the teleportation process in his mind, only beings of his kind can do that.
This means... these people who abducted her can easily leave and enter this place without needing an exit!
Or there must be an entrance and exit somewhere in this place that was protected by a spell... or an invisible door that she can't see!
But she could never see or access the door unless she will gain their trust!
