Scarlett: My lady..

The voice of your court lady called you back, making you turn towards her. You sitting on the bed with your hands on your lap as you watched her carefully. Her gray hair made her green eyes sparkle even more as she spoke to you sweetly.

Scarlett: I will personally tell your husband that you're resting.

She said with a sweet smile, and you nodded, seeing her leave and close the door behind her. After a few hours, it was already late at night. Scarlett had left you alone in your room for three hours now and your husband still hadn't returned to your room. You stood up to check what time it was through the grandfather clock and a gust of wind moved your hair, making you moan in annoyance. You had left the window open. Your bare feet hit the cold floor as you walked towards the window. And that same cold touched your back. For a moment it felt like icy breath was kissing your skin. You closed the window and turned around slowly and something grabbed your wrist. You instinctively felt like shouting, but a strong hand surrounded your lips, holding you close. Then you were pushed against something hard and a strong arm caressed your sides.

Ellie: Am I not what you expected?

Her cold lips, which seemed like those of a non-living being, brushed your ear eagerly. Then a greedy laugh hit you.

Ellie caressed your back with her slender fingers, moving the fabric of your nightgown to the side, revealing a small birthmark on your body.

Ellie: mm.. I couldn't count on my fingers how many times I've seen this mark on your skin.
