Chapter 11: The Intruder

The first two things I noticed when I awoke later that day was: I was on a luxurious and incredibly soft bed and that Klein was kneeling next to me. I felt pain in my head and recalled the earlier events that happened. Oh no, mucho embarrassing. "How long have I been out?" I ask him. "Only a few minutes," he replies, "I carried you here," he said with a sneaky grin on his face. Gosh, he is totally desperate. "Well thanks, but I would like to be left alone now." "Fine, I will let you be, " Klein replies without hesitation. Well that's a relief, I think as he departs. I thought he just wanted to make my life miserable. I've never met someone whos made me that uncomfortable before. Wait a second! He carried me here! I must have hit my head harder than I thought. I stand up and look around the huge room. It was quite miraculous. The floor was sleek black marble, the kind that never gets dirty even if you walk in with muddy boots. The walls were a noble shade of silver that looked very elegant with the floor. I want a nice hot bath now, to relax my muscles before tomorrows training. I search for a little while and eventually find a grand bathroom. It contained a solid gold bathtub. Whoa, I never knew the Elves were so rich! But then again, they supply all the kingdoms. I open the oak cabinets and select an olive soap. I then turn on the faucet of the tub and watch as the crystal water flows out the tap. I really need to take this bath already. I finally sink my aching body into the 3/4 full bath. I'm finally relaxed...when suddenly I hear a creak in the main room. I jump and water splashes out of the tub. "Whos there?", I try to yell. I have to stay strong. No response. I'm definitely starting to panic. Then, a figure leaps through the door coming at me. I'm frozen on the spot and naked, I'm so hopeless. But they never reach me. The man slips on the split water and his head comes crashing down on the gold faucet, only inches from my head.
