(Zephra)

I was sure it was all a dream until I woke up and saw the beautiful room I had fallen asleep in. I laid on the bed thinking of all that had happened. Why were those men after me in the first place? Where had that large black wolf come from? Did Alexander and his friends scare it off? What happened to the men that were chasing me? Why was Alexander being so nice to me? He is a total stranger. I mean not that I mind. He is gorgeous. But who exactly is he?

I decided to get up and go look through the closet that I now know has clothes for me. Turning on the light and looking into the closet, I was still shocked at all the clothes in there. As I walked through the big closet I saw dress pants and nice dressy shirts. Maybe that is what I should wear for dinner tonight. I mean, here I am in this fancy place and maybe I should try to blend in more. I chose a pair of black slacks and a tan shirt with flowing sleeves that was a button up with buttons at the wrist. The fabric felt so soft. It looked like clouds. Opening the dresser, I found the underwear was frilly and lacy. They looked like the stuff I saw in the magazines.

I decided to take another shower. This time I would enjoy the shower with all the nice shamoos, conditioners and body washes there were in the bathroom. I hung the clothes I had picked out on a hook that was in the bathroom. As I got undressed I noticed lots of scratches on me. They must have happened in the forest after I fell. I touched my head where the stitches were. There was a good sized lump at the back and it was tender when my fingers ran across it.

I turned on the shower and the bathroom filled with steam. I picked out a shampoo and conditioner that smelled like black cherry. The bodywash was vanilla. These would smell great together.

Stepping into the shower, I could feel how sore my legs and muscles were from running. Hopefully, this shower will make them feel better. I took my shower and let my mind wander as the water hit my sore body.

Alexander came into my mind and his beautiful sky blue eyes as they had looked at me in the hospital room. They were in such contrast to his dark black hair. I wonder how old he is? He looks to be maybe in his early twenties. He probably has a girlfriend. Someone that handsome wouldn't be at a loss for beautiful women to be hanging off him. There was no ring on his hand when he was rubbing my hand in the hospital, so he wasn't married. But he was way out of my league. I couldn't even hope to get that kind of attention from him. He was a millionaire...maybe billionaire. I was just an orphan. What kind of girlfriend would I be for someone like him?

Then again, he did seem to be giving me attention before."There you go again thinking you can have something you can't. Silly daydreamer." The words I say to myself way too often come into my thoughts. Usually it was for a better home, life, parents, or something less superficial.

To be honest, I had never even thought about having a relationship with a guy. Kids in school always called me little orphan Annie. There was definitely no way any of the boys would look at me with baggy hand-me-down clothes and shoes. It never bothered me as I really wasn't interested in any of them. None of them even made me take a second look. Not like I was looking at Alexander. He was making me think of things I had not thought of at all.

I decided to get out of the shower as the thoughts I was having were drifting too far out there. I dried myself with the fluffiest towel I had ever felt. It was like drying off with a plush teddy bear. I put the underwear and bra on, then the pants and shirt. I looked in the mirror and was surprised by the way I looked. Even with my hair wet, I looked so different in those clothes.

There was a knock on the door that shook me out of my shock at the reflection. I walked over to open it and there was Trisha with her smile and sweet, caring look in her eyes.

"Good evening Zephra. How was your nap?" Her voice was soft but something in her tone was a bit authorative as well. I could tell if she needed to be she could be a force to be reckoned with.

"It was good. I feel much better. My muscles are a bit sore but the shower really helped with that." I closed the door as she walked in, going to the table in the corner.

"That is good. Those clothes fit you perfectly. You look so good in them. I am glad they got your size right. Now would you like some help with your hair?" I had never had anyone fix my hair before. It was a little strange.

"Sure I guess." I walked over to the table and was going to sit down, but she stood up and led me over to a chair in front of a table with a mirror. It had combs, hairbrushes, bowls of hair pins, clips and hair ties. I wasn't sure about using these as they looked expensive and I didn't know who had used them before me.

She must have seen my hesitation as she told me these were all bought just for me. No one else had ever used them.

She brushed out my hair and squirted some stuff into her palms, rubbing them together. She worked her hands through my hair and massaged my scalp. Being very careful not to hit my stitches.Then she took some hair pins and took the side pieces of my hair up, pinning them. She made little swirls with the hair and pinned them with more pins. She worked so fast it didn't take her long to make my hair look so nice.

"Thank you so much. I have never had anyone fix my hair before. Normally, I just put it in a ponytail or back in a clip. I told her as I turned from side to side in the mirror, looking at the beautiful light swirls. Some of the pins had little jewels on them and were right in the middle of the swirls. It looked so neat.

"We can take you to the salon tomorrow and get these dried ends cut off.You can have it styled any way you want." I had never been to a salon before and didn't know what I would want.

"They have books and books of different styles. If you want to see them before you decide." She must have seen my expression.

"OK, let's find you some shoes and we can go down to dinner. Everyone is so excited about seeing you." Why would anyone be excited about seeing me? How did anyone even know I was here? Who was everyone?

She turned and went into the closet and came out with the cutest shoes. They were silver with a diamond buckle. She also got out some knee high stockings. I slipped on the stockings and slid my foot into the shoe. It was a perfect fit. I felt like Cinderella. I put on the other shoe and we headed for the door. I guess we were going to the restaurant in this hotel. I am glad I picked nice clothes as this place looks to be a very high-classed place. As we left the room I was a little scared and I don't really like people and it might be a crowded restaurant. I will just have to keep my anxiety at bay.
