THREE DAYS AGO
At Heist mansion, princess Natasha Roselyn von Heist is in her bedroom with her little sister, Tara Misha von Heist.
" I can't wait dear sister, father said the wife of the Alpha would be chosen from our bloodline this year. I am the obvious choice since I'm the eldest daughter plus I'm talented in every political field", she says with pride as she walks the room and clasps her hands.
" That way you could definitely pull strings to get me married to a man of high class like Williams Moriarty".she gives a light chuckle.
" Of course dear sister" the maids come in to clear their tea table.
" No, no, no, no.. no. Do call Elisa she'll do the cleaning" she says with a broad smile. The maids live in hesitation.
" Oh dear sister Natasha, this is why I love you so. You never seize to put the little thing in her place". They both giggle.
The maid arrives at Elisa's cottage. She enters and knocks until she hears a gentle' come in' before entering. The bedroom is a rather shabby and simple place with just a few things in it. She is greeted by Elisa Catherine von Heist, a 21 year old She has light auburn hair and golden brown eyes.
" What brings you here Asha" she says in her soft British accent.
" Princess Natasha has sent for you, she demands you clear up her tea table" Asha says with a slight bow and leaves. Elisa moves to Natasha's bedroom as she has become conversant with being slave to her step sisters afterall she was only a mere concubine's daughter. She arrives at Natasha's bedroom in the mansion. Afterall she was only a mere concubine's daughter.
She greets them both before she walks in and starts the cleaning as they mock her in whispers.
"She's a good- for - nothing. I wonder why father still keeps her, she should spare us all by leaving" Natasha says with revulsion evident in her expression.
" Or at least she should end her life so we don't have to worry about seeing her at our doorstep".Tara adds
Elisa didn't bother to spare them a glance even as she walked out the room. It's been quite a while since she's nurtured the thoughts of leaving after weighing how it will affect her mother.
Amongst her siblings she's the only witch, she was banned by her father from casting spells or even learning how to but now she has a spell up her sleeve and she can finally escape after much practice.
trou ses emi she immediately casts a spell that stops time. She starts running cause the spell only lasts about 2 minutes. She runs non stop so she could go as far away as possible from her father before he realizes she's gone. She starts feeling weak and stumbles into the closest place.
The place looks like a bar, and the atmosphere doesn't feed her well she's about to leave when she's obstructed by a red haired lady. The lady reaches out and touches Elisa's hair and she flinches backwards.
" No need to be frightened, I don't bite........ or at least I won't bite you. Why don't we have a chat .... away from the men". She says looking at the men in the bar.
" u...m....um excuse me, I have to...." Elisa says ignoring her words and exiting the bar.
" No need to be ...... scared dear. Why don't we start by freshening up, you look a bit haggard and then we talk over a drink" she says with a bright smile.
" I don't drink", Elisa says with a tern expression.
" Juice then? " , she doesn't wait for a reply as she has already taken her response.as a clear ' yes why not'
POV ELISA
I slowly follow her from behind, we walk into a room and she gives me a change of clothes, shows me the bathroom and leaves. I immediately shower and have a change of clothes.
She walks in a few minutes later with two glasses of juice.
" Let's start with intros. I'm Amiah, the owner of this place". She says after she takes a sip from the drink.
" The name is E..... Alisha", she gives the lady an alias.
" Well, Alisha you are quite the beauty, why don't you work for me".
" Work?, what kind of work", she says finally seeing a ray of hope. At least dad won't think to find me here, she says to herself.
" I'm a little short on staff so you could serve drinks to my guests and not just any guests our VIPs, can't bare to see your beauty wasted on the low lives out there afterall....... soooooo what do you say".
" Thanks a lot lady Amiah. um.... do you perhaps know a place I could lodge for the night" , Elisa says with hesitation
" I see, you are probably new in town. Well you could lodge here all my girls do, so they could attend to late night and early morning timers".
" Thanks once again"
" You don't need to say that afterall it's a win-win".
