"STOP THAT!"

When I opened my eyes, I was in an abnormal bed and ancient looking room. Thinking it was all a dream I wandered around the oak based room and peeped out the window. With no glass! The landscape seemed very rural and forest based. Men would travel in coaches and using beasts of burden to conduct them. One coach driver was whipping the horse way beyond necessary so I couldn't stop myself from intervening. I ran out in front of the carriage.

"STOP, STOP BEATING THAT HORSE!"

"Move out of the way, concubine! Do you know the result of stopping a royal coach?!" the coach driver shouted.

"I don't care! You're beating that horse way more than necessary! This horse works days and nights for you, goes to war for you and you are beating it as it is has stolen your meal!" I raised my hand and stroked the horse on its head. "Wow, you're such a beauty. Your eyes are big and beautiful. They're glistening with excitement!" I giggled. The horse neighed as I stroked its mane. "Easy," I softly told it, "Easy there. That's a good boy. Aren't you the sweetest? I know how it feels but it's okay, I know they underestimate your full potential. Then they treat you like a pile of... Well manure." I continued to groom its back, stroking it gently and carefully.

"What's the delay? I'm already late for my meeting!" a slightly attractive voice snapped.

"Your Majesty, there's a dilemma. You might wanna come out and see." the coachman angrily said.

"Your Majesty?!" I asked shocked. "Goodbye beauty. We'll meet again."

I sprinted away into a endless path of roads and markets and eventually, forest. I continued running seeing lush green and brown blurs and if I was paying enough attention, I would see the odd berries and flowers here and there.

"STOP!" the same attractive voice shouted.

"NO!" I screamed back. I heard feet hitting the floor and breathing getting closer to me.

"GET AWAY!" I screeched. I felt a hand reach out for me so I slapped it away. I turned around and stuck my tongue at him but soon after, I tripped. He caught me and scooped me up over his shoulder.

"Let GO OF ME!" I shouted.

"Stop struggling! The less you struggle, the less painful it will be when you're punished." he told me

I gasped and began kicking, scratching and punching. "LET! ME! GO!!"

I swung my leg and he dropped me, clutching is private parts. It hurt when I fell but I continued to run. I sprinted and finally found a clothes market. I borrowed some dull maid like clothes and said I would pay when I get my money. I styled my hair in a messy pleat and threw on my cloak. Trying not to seek any attention, I walked back to where I woke up.

I removed my clothes and took a hot bath. "This definitely isn't a dream. Wasn't that Matthew? Anyway he's a king here and caused trouble with him so I better make money and leave this city. But first I need to find Melissa." I wrapped myself with a robe and got dressed into a cloak.

I saw a young woman on the floor, cleaning up my room.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house? And more importantly, where's Melissa?"

"Lady Lisa, are you feeling well?" she reached out for my head and checked my temperature. "Fine," I snapped whilst slapping away her hand, "Now, answer my questions."

"My Lady, I am your maid Rei Xue. I serve you. Lady Melissa Ling is at his Majesty's Palace."

"Apologies for my rudeness. Rei Xue get me a horse immediately and a fast horse at that."

"Yes, my Lady."

I changed into clothes appropriate for the palace so I was slightly irritated. I put on my bra and offered one to Rei Xue. I explained to her what they are for. She immediately showed me gratitude by offering to wash my feet in rose petals and water. I refused saying it would be too much trouble. I climbed onto the horse and held out a hand to Rei Xue so she could climb on.

"Tell me how to get to the palace." I ordered Rei. "HYA!" I shouted and the horse began to run.

We finally arrived at the palace and we walked up to the entrance. I slammed the doors open and demanded, "Where's Melissa Ling?!"

"Young Lady, you have a lot of nerve to enter his Majesty's Palace, IN THAT ORDE—"

"SHUT UP AND TELL ME WHERE MY SISTER IS!!"

"Young Lady, how dare—!"

"SILENCE!!" the Emperor bellowed.

And silence was given.

"Now, you're looking for Melissa Ling."

"That's Lady Ling for you." I snapped.

"I believe that you are LADY Lisa Ling."

"Correct. Now give Melissa to me. She isn't your ***** that you can sleep with! You have no business with her so give her to ME!"

SLAP! The Emperor's servant tried to slap me but I grabbed her hand before she could. I threw her hand away causing her to fall flat on her back.

"Don't **** with my patience, your Majesty. It's running quite thin. Now this is the last time I'll ask you, where is MELISSA?!"

"Lisa?! Is that really you? Oh my God I was... I was terrified and we... We... Uncle... I was... I was d-d... E-Electric ch-chair."

I ran to her and we hugged. "Do you understand how much I worried about you? Don't scare me like that! Let's go. We need to talk lil sis."

"How amusing that you think you can leave so easily after being SO OBNOXIOUS!" the Emperor scolded.

"Who do you think you are to scold me? You're just a stinky and loud mouth'd emperor. Now if you excuse we need to get going. Come on Meli."

We left and mounted on the horse and rode back to our house.

We all went inside and I changed into shreds with a cloak on top.
