The moon had long past slipped behind the busy town. Then a blond woman in a garden screamed. "OH NO! THE YOUNG MISTRESS'S GARDEN!" Then she started crying.

Up in the manor, a young girl with long, dark blue pigtails had her head on the desk. She wore a pink dress with plenty of layers. "I want something sweet," she said to the maid in her room. "Now, Suzanne."

The maid, Suzanne, wore a black dress with white lace at the bottom and edges. "Yes, my mistress." She curtsied, one hand on her heart, the other holding up her dress trim.

The young girl, Celina, rose her head as the maid left the room. She stood to look out the window. Down in the garden, Filian wept over a dead rose bush.

Celina gently set her head in her hand. "The fool."

The door opened. Suzanne walked back in empty handed. "Young Mistress, we are having company over and the other servants are goofing up again. I refuse to let you spoil your appetite, and I must go help them," Suzanne said as she approached the desk, to which Celina had returned.

"Fine," she said,removing her hand and revealing an eyepatch over her eye. She rose it and revealed a magenta eye with a diamond inside a circle. "Suzanne, fix this house up before the company arrives.

"That's an order."

"Yes, my Lady." Suzanne curtsied and left the room at lightning speed.

This better not screw up Celina thought.
