Chapter one Amelia I stared out of the window from my room, a sigh leaving my lips. It was a really boring day. My parents weren't at home and my governess had taken the day off, so I had nothing to do all day. Before they reluctantly left me at home, they had made me promise to not leave the house, which I did. I got off the window sill, walking quietly out of my chambers and into the drawing room. I looked around before making my way to the door. When I noticed that there were no servants in sight, I made my way towards the door. I opened it and stepped out, the fresh air from outside blowing on my face. I stood at the door, contemplating whether to leave the house or not, not wanting any of the servants to catch me sneaking out. My parents had told them that they should report to them if they ever saw me going out. I promise, mother. I shall not venture too far from our home. I let out a breath as I finally decide to leave the house. I close as I walk as quietly as possible

Chapter three Amelia It had been about three weeks since I had found Alaric and started treating him. The times when I would go to the shack to give him food or to change the dressings on his wounds were the most fun part of my day. We would talk and laugh about a lot of different things, and Alaric actually had a great sense of humor. He was fun to talk to and he always had something to say. The rate at which his wounds were healing quite alarming. For the intensity of the wounds that I saw on that first day, it was surprising. I had asked him why his wounds were healing so quickly, but he always said that was how his body worked. It was really weird. It was currently morning and I was on my way to the shack to meet Alaric. I had brought him some food and a change of clothes. Alaric had told me that he had seen a waterfall somewhere in the forest and that it would be interesting and fun if we took a walk and went there for a swim. When he told me, I disagreed at first because

Chapter fiveAmeliaThings have been going well between Alaric and I ever since that day. He treated me well and made sure he never did anything to make me angry.I don't know what it was that I liked about Alaric, but I just liked him. He made me feel special and fuzzy inside. We hadn't kissed again since that day, but I was fine with it, as long as Alaric was by my side. At that point, I didn't know if Alaric actually had feelings for me yet. I was just waiting for him to say something.I came down from my room and to get the food that I wanted to take to Alaric, as usual. We had had bread for breakfast, so it wouldn't be hard to sneak it out. I went into the kitchen and the maids were there, already running around to startakinv lunch. I stood at the door and cleared my throat."Oh, my lady. What brings you here?" The head of the maids asked me."Well, I need some extra bread, I'm still hungry." I said, keeping a straight face."Oh, yes." She said and hurriedly went to get the brea

Chapter seven Amelia Few days had passed since my parents informed me of the decree passed by the dragon king. It was finally the day that we were supposed to go to the palace. My mother had been crying since early that morning. She was inconsolable. Even my father had gotten upset be aise of how much she was crying. He had told her that I was just going for a competition and not to die. After my parents had told me of the decree, I wasn't in the least bit interested, but the decree wasn't one that we could disobey, because galoure to do so could result to the killing of the entire family. I for one was excited to go. I felt it was a chance for me to explore life outside my town and also to meet and learn more about the dragon shifters. My parents also wanted me to go because they felt that it would be good for me to make acquintances. They weren't bothering me to win the competition and I also wasn't really in yeresyed in it. They just wanted me to go there and return home safe

Chapter nine Amelia Lady Matilda stood in front of us, with her hands on her hips, her lips pursed and her eyes stern. She looked at Lady Lucia who was on the floor, then at me that was hovering atop her. "I asked a question, so can someone give me an answer!!" She exclaimed. "Lady Matilda, I'm sorry for the ruckus." I started, since Lady Lucia didn't seem to have anything to say. "Lady Lucia here was harrasing this lady and I came over to ask what the problem was, but she chose to resolve yo violence, so I pushed her away after she grabbed my hair." I told her. "And what did this… lady do to provoke Lady Lucia?" She said with a mocking tone and I frowned. I looked at the Lady that was standing behind me. She was scared and shaking, she didn't seem like she wanted to speak, so I decided to speak for her. "Well, she bumped I to Lady Lucia because she was pushed I to her, but Lady Lucia refused to let her explain, instead, they started beating her up." I explained. "So, how did
