I AM REALLY curious on what's going on specially that I hear men and women yelling at each other telling and asking what to do.
That's it.
I peeked out of the small opening of the door just to see people moving back and forth not knowing what to do, looking confused and worried. I walked out of the room to scoop some information.
As I pass through, more and more people with the same face came pass me. What is wrong with these people.
I walked out the house and saw a lot of chariots and injured men being carried to the house in which I came from.
Oh my freaking- what's going on? I'm so confused.
The more I walk further the more bloody bodies came along pass me.
Mama mia.
I gulped as I see a lot of men coming from the gate of the city being accompanied by their families maybe, full of blood and wounds.
I felt a huge urge inside me pushing me to come closer to help them, I don't know what to do, but I still did so. Oh I feel so useless.
I walked together with the people and helping them carry their beloved ones, one by one to those people who has bandages and carriers.
Who did this? What has happened? I became teary eyed as I see other families breaking down inside but has no choice but to standup.
"Uh-oh everyone run!" a guy shouted from afar his right arm was hanging and dripping with blood while his other hand was supporting and pulling his left feet which is badly injured.
A few men started to run towards his direction but he just waved his hands to stop them.
"All women get inside, you there! Help me to take him towards the healer!" a guy instructed as he insisted to help the man who is already half awake.
"Woman, let's get in," an old woman pulled my arms roughly, I took a last glance at the men who are gathering around the man who was using all his force to shout run before looking back at the sidewalk.
"If you don't mind, what is happening?" I asked confused at the old lady. The old lady stopped walking and gaped at me, looking at me ridiculously.
"Are you serious? Have you gone mad? Where is your Family?" she asked,
I was about to open my mouth when someone pulled me out of the woman's grasp.
"Hey there you are what are you doing here? Come let's go back inside." the man earlier patted my shoulders,
I creased my brows at him with a questioning look, he just smiled at me and looked at the old lady,
"I'm sorry Mrs. My sister bumped her head hard this yesterday and she might have forgotten some important stuff, sorry for the interruption," he bowed his head lowly and pulled me back to an old fancy but pitiful house. I let him pull me but stopped before entering the house. I'm not getting tricked with this kind of modus.
"He-Hey! Who are you?" I asked and pulled my hands off his grip before we could even enter the house. I placed my arms at each side of my hips and glared at the back of the stranger and waited for him to look at me.
The man just took a deep breathe before looking at me with an innocent eyes. "Young master, please let's step inside the house and I would explain everything."
I eyed at him suspiciously before letting out a defeated breath, my head is starting to spin and the guy looks trustworthy, "Fine, take me to wherever you want," I whispered before giving my hands to him.
He just nodded and took my by the wrist but still held me gently, guiding me inside the house. As soon as we went in a modern house welcomed me.
I took of my hands out from his palms and ran towards the door, peaking in and out. "This is sorcery," I gasps as I became more alert.
"Please young master, dont make this hard for the both of us, you badly need rest." he pleaded.
"I will not come inside unless you tell me what's your name," I crossed my arms and grumpily looked at him.
The guy took a deep breath before looking at me, "I am the Waybooklet that was given to you. I have been given the powers to help you find the deepest desire of your heart and I shall remain nameless until you give me a name," the man introduced and took off his shirt. Now thats a hot guy.
He turned around me and showed me the symbol that is also shown in the booklet that was given to me. That is enough proof. I nodded and entered the whole house leaving him who was doing his best to put his shirt back.
I went on the second floor and opened the only bedroom there. Masters bedroom. I smiled in response. I sat on the bed and hugged my knees as I watch the man earlier come rushing towards me with a first aid kit in his arms.
I silently watched him as he does his thing while also admiring his features. He is like the most perfect human being that I've ever seen in my whole entire life. He has muscular toned body, perfect jaw, blue eyes and white hair. He kind of reminds me on how I imagine my Draco Malfoy.
"Young Master why did you go out?" the man asked as he soaks a damp cloth wet before wiping of my hands and feet that were full of blood.
I just looked at him and remained silent. It's not like it is normal seeing medieval looking and dressed people coming from a battle all covered in blood and wounds.
As if understanding me the man just nod and helped my lie down the bed.
"Sleep tight young master, tomorrow I'll be explaining and answering everything you ask."
I was still in shock but managed to sleep.
I hope I'll wake up from this dream after this.
________________________________________
I groaned as I feel my body aching, urgh what's happening?
"Young Master, are you feeling better?" the guy asked me as he comes and sat on my side placing down the tray of food of the side table to check my forehead.
"There, there looks like you cooled down. I made you soup, do you want me to feed you?" he asked as he helps me sit down.
I just nodded in response while I did my best to remember what had happened yesterday. Right, I'm in a medieval area, a lot of bloody men, and this perfect guy who appears to be the human version of the booklet Mrs. Witts gave me.
"I am the Waybooklet that was given to you. I have been given the powers to help you find the deepest desire of your heart and I shall remain nameless until you give me a name,"
Huh, is that so?
"Eherm, waybook," I called his attention, he just finished blowing the spoon full of soup ready to feed me. He looked up at me with a questioning look.
"So I am supposed to give you a name?" I asked slowly, the man just stared at me before making me eat the soup.
"Yes young master, why have you thought of a name already?" he asked as he take another spoon full of soup and blew it to cool it down.
I remained silent afterwards thinking of a perfect name and opening my mouth once in a while as he feeds me. I carefully examined how he works and he moves perfectly. In other words it felt like I have my own butler serving me, which felt nice.
"Draco.." I bit my lip as he fix the plates.
"What is it master?" he asked me as he holds up all the plates I used.
"Draco, I am naming you Draco. After my most favorite wizard in Hogwarts. And my childhood crush," I smiled as I look at the questioning look of the man in front of me.
"Very well, I am Draco Waybook, young Master, at your service," he smiled as he gave me a light bow.
"About that word 'Young Master' can you just call me by my name?" I asked,
"I'm afraid that would not be possible. Maybe I would if it is necessary but as long as I could I would call you Young master. It is how I express my respect. But if you are not comfortable with the idea let's just list down names for me to call you would you want me to call you My Queen?"
Too fancy, "No,"
"My lord?"
Too much, "No,"
"Your Highness?"
Not a royal, "No,"
"Princess?"
Cute but, "No,"
"Young Mistress?"
"Nope, totally no,"
"Sweetheart?"
"Possible, but think of anything else,"
"Mademoiselle,"
"Mademoi perfect! Call me that from now on!" I cheered. Draco just gave me a light bow and smiled afterwards.
"If you may mademoiselle, I just bring down the dishes. You should return back to your sleep it's already evening. Tomorrow well discuss and find out where we are in." he said before walking out the door. He waited for me to tuck inside my comforter before closing the lights.
Ahh that actually felt nice.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
"Wakey-wakey sunshine." Draco pulled my blankets making me groan out of frustration.
"Seriusly what is your problem?" I asked as I took my pillow and smashed it on his face.
He did his best to dodge my attacks but glared at him so he had no choice but to let me hit him.
"That's better," I smiled as I look at the messy hair of Draco who is now pouting in response.
"What?" I asked innocently before jumping off to bed. I stretched my arms and did a few jumping jacks before looking back at him.
He frowned at me before throwing me a towel and a pair of clothes.
"What is this?" I asked at him confused at the fabric that I can't even form into a cloth.
"That is the traditional clothes of women back in the ancient times of Greece. Well talk about it later, you should take a bath, you stink Mademoiselle." he said and immediately got up to run towards the door.
"You dimwit!" I shouted at his retreating back before sighing. Ancient Greece, what would my hearts deepest desire connect with this place?
I groaned as I entered the shower.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
"Beautiful, Aye?" Draco complimented as he placed a plate on the table and pulled the chair for me.
"Thank you," I smiled as I fix my sit and let him serve me.
I waited for him to put food on his plate before starting to eat.
"So what is your role with me?" I asked before drinking water.
"As I said I would guide you to find your deepest desire there in your heart," he answered before eating again.
"And being in Greece answers that?"
"Hmm I actually don't know Mademoiselle, I am just given the powers to bring you to where your heart lies and help you solve the mystery on why you were brought there so like you I am also confused on why we both came here. This is the first time that I actually ever time travelled, and with that your story must be very exciting,"
"Hmm, You said I am the first, well how about the others?" I asked curiously.
"Well my latest master, you know her- she's the one who gave you my home-"
"You mean Mrs. Witts?" I cut him off, does that mean she's not mad as I thought she is?
"Eherm," Draco called my attention as he pours water from the pitcher, I came back to my senses when he gave me my cup.
"Uh yeah sorry," I apologized and accepted the cup, after taking a few gulps I cleared my throat again, "Uhm, you were saying?"
"Well yes as I was saying, Mrs. Witts was my latest master but her story is connected with her husband- Zeus, know him?"
"Mrs. Witts Husband? Yes, yes of course they treated me specially, why what is his connection to you?"
"Hmm, well Master Zeus deepest desire is to get the company his father. The one that pulled them out of poverty and standing beside him was his fiancé that time Master Elyzabeth. Now since Master Zeus got what he wanted the most, I already have fulfilled my duty and after that he gave me to Master Elyzabeth."
"Interesting, so what happened next?"
"Well Master Elyzabeth's deepest desire is to have some spare time from Former Master Zeus who is so busy with the company that he almost forgot to spend time with her even after their marriage. I helped Master Elyzabeth Witts to show her husband the joy of their marriage. But Former Master Zeus became hard as a rock and pushed My Master Elyzabeth away making him loose her balance and loose her baby. Ever since then Master Zeus learned his lesson though sadly until now they can't bear a child."
"Oh, so they didn't have a happy ending then?" I asked feeling down,
"They had, they didn't have the child that they always wanted but they both made an orphanage that they visit time by time. The children there became their sons and daughters and theyve never been happy ever since."
"Wow that's nice," but why is Mrs. Witts working on a Library then?
"That is because she loves reading and doesnt want to stay at home. Master Zeus agreed with his wife's request since it would be safe for her and she won't be bored while he is away."
"Oh.. Wait a minute how did you know what I was thinking? Don't tell me you could read minds!?" I asked horrified while backing out a bit.
He just chuckled and fixed the plates. "Mademoiselle, your face is easy to read, anyways try to act like a proper lady when you go out-"
"Woah, woah, woah, woah, Go Out!? Are you out of your mind!? Didn't you see there are a lot of bloody men outside?" I asked as I cross my arms.
Draco just let out a sigh before facing at me, "Well if you want to know your deepest desire then you have to go out, and besides it's not like you have a choice I'm pushing you out of the door if you refuse." he sweetly smiled at me then took all the plates and went towards the dishwasher.
I stomped in defeat before walking out of the door.
"Right, so Medieval," I groaned as I look at the old houses around. I sighed as I take few steps.
"Nope, nope, nope, I change my mind, I'm not going," I said and returned back on the house. I stopped by the door and looked out the whole structure. It totally looks different from inside and out.
In the outside the house, it is made of bricks and the roof is made out of straw. Compared to all the houses out there, here where I slept is the most pitiful house ever. But unlike every house the inside of our house is like a huge mansion. Beautiful.
I smiled as I hold the door knob and attempted to pull it open.
"What the- It's locked!" I pushed and pulled the door knob and also kicked it but it won't budge.
"Draco! Let me in!" I shouted as I continue to kick the door.
"Not a chance mademoiselle! Go out and explore I would just be here watching over you, good luck!" he shouted and closed every curtain and window of the house.
"Urgh!" I groaned as I did my best to kick the door.
"Aww! Urgh curse you!" I shouted before finally giving up and walked out of the rotten wood fences feeling grumpy.
As I walk pass the road, it was so quiet only a few were out and they were mostly men in soldier suits. This is a bad idea.
"Hey woman! What are you doing here? Didn't someone inform you that all women and children must stay home and protect their household?" a man angrily came towards me and grabbed me forcefully on my elbow.
Not again, "Look I am sorry, there are no men inside our household so I have to be the one to go out," I reasoned out as I pull my arms of the angry man.
"Sir let it go!" I shouted. He slowly took of his hands of me making me relieved.
"Thank you, I'll better be going- woah oh my gosh, that's an arrow!" I shouted as I kneel down to the man who is now wincing in pain.
"Run woman, run!" he shouted out of pain.
"No! I can't leave you here wounded! Help! Anyone! Oh my shou- should I pull it out? I'm so, so sorry I feel-" the man cut me off before pushing my hands off.
"Run. r-run fo- for y-your life.." he muttered and with that his hands fell of the ground.
I could feel my cheeks getting wet as I see the man's body become lifeless.
"N-no"
"Miss run!" another voice shouted at me making me look towards the town gate. With the shot of long javelin the guy fell down on the ground.
What should I do, what should I do?
One by one men in different kind of warrior suits holding a javelin came from the gate, raiding all house one by one. I used my hands to cover my face from them but two men held each of my arms pulling me up from kneeling, I looked at both of them. Their face shouts ruthlessness but their serious face suddenly turned into confusion after looking at me.
"Princess Roxana?" a man approached in front of me looking me up and down.
"Pri- princess w-who?" I stuttered, scared at their faced.
"The princess is back in Persia, there is no way that you are the Royal Highness. Who are you!?" the man held my jaw firmly making me whimper.
"M-Margaux.." I tried to speak in between my cries. The man angrily looked at me with disgust and took his sword out from his waist holding it up high ready to stab me with it.
"Wait," a baritone voice stopped the guy.
Instantly the 3 men stood perfectly still saluting at the guy in his horse, while still not letting go of me.
"Roxana?" the guy looked at me, examining my face.
"I'm afraid you are mistaken sir, this woman right here is an imposter." he said as he points his sharp sword at my face.
"Pull her closer, I need to ask her something." the man ordered and both of the soldiers complied.
They roughly pulled me closer to their leader.
"Sir, please I don't know who Roxanne is but I am no imposter. Please let me go," I pleaded looking at the scary eyes of the curly haired muscular man riding on the horse.
"If you are not Roxana could you be.." the guy whispered before jumping down his horse.
"Let her go, continue with the raid, leave her to me." he ordered before roaming in circles around me.
"If you are her, why do you look so thin.." he asked while rubbing his chin looking at me up and down, examining my features.
"Uhh excuse me? I am not thin, I am the sexiest woman you'll ever see," I grumpily spat at him.
The man gave me an amused smile, which made me more pissed.
"Hmp! If I am thin then you are as slim as a stick," I spat as I roll my eyes at him.
The man just chuckled and then suddenly pulled me into a hug. "Finally, we found you.. Athena Margaux. We miss you.."
I gaped in response, he knows me? We?
