A Dream or a Nightmare

chapter 3: summoned

Hours past since the maids left, Korra looked around the room to see if there is any means of escape, it wasn't easy as the room was really dark and the only source of light is one dim candle on the night stand. the maids did bring their touch and when they were done they took it back. From what she gathered, this was an old empty room, it has not been used for decades and they probably cleaned it while they were about to bring her here. Not that it was even properly cleaned, there were still dusts and cobwebs arround. The room was small and crampy so Korra will often trip on objects on the floor. She went to the window and shifted the big red curtain so she could push the window wide open but it was impossible because no matter how hard she pushed the window wasn't just opening, so she came up with a theory that maybe it was locked from outside, which sounded impossible. She sat on the floor weak and defeated, her stomach growled from huger, it was until now that she realized she hasn't had anything to eat for as long as she could remember. She gave up on every plan to escape as she was too weak and tired.

Then, she heard faint sound of footsteps, it came closer and closer until it settled at the entrance of her room, she raised her head and watched as the keyhole turned and clicked. when the door open her eyes locked with the person standing before her. Again, completely different. There was something about him that told her he couldn't hurt her even if he was asked to. she just knew from her guts that this man no matter what won't do anything to hurt her. He didn't say anything he just walked towards her and picked her up from the floor. Korra couldn't even be surprised as she has seen and heard alot of surprising things for one day. It's only fair he carries her because she doubted if she could even manage to stand herself. He walked through corridors and she didn't even care about looking at her surroundings as she was just occupied with looking at his face. He had a brown hair and a pair of blue eyes, it was his eyes that attracted her the most. He had a firm jawline and a fuzzy bit of hair growing arround his jawline. His lips were so small a pouty almost like that of a matured baby. The thought of it makes her stomach churn from embarrassment, she could feel her face hot as adrenaline rushed through her. It wasn't until dropped her on the floor that she noticed they have been walking for a long time. she looked up and saw two double doors before her. It seemed like they had reached their destination, although Korra was so sad the little trip had ended, infact what was she expecting. She was so embarrassed by herself for thinking this handsome prince had come to save her. There are countless times she had pinched herself to wake up from the dream. If this truly is a dream, then this is the best part. Her stomach growled again, that added to her embarrassment her face is now flushed red she wished she the floor would just open and swallow her up.

He then cleared his throat and said “ you were summoned” he opened the double door for her and waited as she entered the room before he left. she was disappointed when he left, he seemed to be the most interesting thing here.

“ you're here” she heard the voice of the queen Patrica. she looked up and met their eyes. The room was a huge dinning hall, she wondered what they need a dinning hall as huge as this for. They were about 10 in the room and they were all looking at her. It seemed they had invited her to have dinner. She just stood there with her legs rooted to the floor, you can say she was intimidated by the people in the room. Apart from the 10 seated on the dinning table, they were a few maids hanging arround and attending to them.

“ you could stand there looking or you could walk over here, have a sit and eat" queen Patricia said with a smug smile on her face. All Korra wanted to fo was to wipe that mischievous smile off her face. she tries to walk but tripped immediately, she stood up and tried again slowly. her legs were shaky and she could hear as they laugh. What she didn't understand was why they even asked her to come here in the first place. They could have just brought her food up to her. what did she even do to be treated this cruel.

She managed to get to the table and sit, she was immediately served by the maids.
