King Jonathan paced back and forth on the castle's marble floor. Lined up in front of him was Blu and the other servants.

The king walked in such a way that almost scared the servants. His blue eyes were cold and serious.

Poor Blu was still in a state of shock of what had happened about an hour ago. She held back tears because if the king saw her crying, she would most certainly be punished.

The servants where also afraid. But not as much as Blu because they were used to the king's intimidating looks.

Everyone stood still anxious as to what the king would say. Suddenly he froze. He craned his head towards the servants and a smile grew across his face.

"Good morning everyone," he started. His voice echoed through the massive building. The servants shuddered at his powerful voice.

"We have a new servant with us here today," he said, his eyes staring right at Blu. He motioned for her to come to him.

Blu's heart pounded in her chest. She would feel everyone's eyes on her. He tried to move her feet but they couldn't move. They felt like Jell-O. Her breaths hitched as the king raised his eyebrows.

"Come on now," he said. "I don't bite. Well not usually," he crackled.

Hesitantly, Blu slowly walked towards King Jonathon, each step echoing through the castle. When she stood beside the king there was a moment of silence.

Then she saw the king move behind her and felt two large hands on her bare shoulders. She flinched at the sudden touch. The king laughed.

He cleared his throat and looked towards his servants. Keeping his hands on Blu's Shoulders.

"May I introduce you all to Blu," the king smiled greatly as his servants stared at Blu. "She will be working with all of you for now on," he continued.

"Poor girl," a man servant mumbled. Everyone stared at the man, amazed that he said such a thing in front of the king. But it was unwise of him and the other servants knew that.

"What was that you damn Scumbag?" He hissed, slowly walking towards the man. The man shook with fear and immediately regretted what he had done.

Nothing, I said nothing," the man trembled.

"Enough," the king growled. "Guards take this scum away!" The man immediately burst into tears.

"No!" He cried "I didn't do anything!"

Blu's mouth dropped in shock as she watched two guards grab each of the man's arms. Blu opened her mouth to protest but nothing came out, for she feared what would happen to her if she did.

The man stuggled and yelled but he was no match for the king's large guards.

Just before the guards dragged the man out of the Grand hall, the king mumbled something to them. "You know what to do," he said in a low voice. The guards nodded and dragged the man out the tall steel doors, his cries echoing behide him.

Blu stood still and the others stood still, their hearts beating quickly. The king dusted off his robe and strode back to where Blu stood.

"Now where were we?" King Delirious stated looking angry and serious. "Oh yes," he continued. "Blu will now work as a servant with the rest of you," the king's voice was more strong. He was still clearly very angry at what took place a couple of minutes ago which changed his mood.

"Now get back to work everyone," he barked. The servants immediately scattered and began to walk away. Blu didn't know what to do so she started to follow them, until she felt the king grab her by the arm.

"Ow," she said quietly, hoping the king didn't hear.

"Not so fast darling," the king said and turned her to face him. It wasn't until then that he realized how beautiful Blu really was. Her Brown eyes sparkled in the light and her hair had the most perfect curls. She looked so fragile, so innocent.

Blu stared back at the king, thinking the same thing. He too had beautiful eyes. Gorgeous Ocean blue eyes. And hair looking silky smooth. How did she not noticed this before? But then she thought about the awful things he had done and what happened before she pushed her thoughts away.

When the king realized he was staring, he looked away and scolded himself.

"Follow me," he mumbled and turned towards a large hallway. Blu followed, his robe dragging behind him.

As Blu looked around, she noticed that castle was actually beautiful. The pillars were pure gold, the walls a spotless white, and the ceiling a baby blue. It was truly magnificent, unlike anything Blu had ever seen. But why should the king deserve any of this? He was a fool, a crook.

The king led Blu into a large room full of pans and pots the side of tires.

"This is the kitchen," the king stated. Blu admired the huge room. It was the biggest kitchen she had ever seen. It had countless plates, bowls, pots, pans, you name it.

"Here you will prepare meals for me and our guest," he explained, staring at Blu with his blue eyes. She nodded, letting the king know she understood.

"Good," the king nodded to himself onto the next room.

And for the rest of the day, the king, showed Blu every room in the Castle and even the outside in the bush maze and garden. The king explained how her rotation worked with the other servants and made a sure she understood every word he said.

Finally, once the king finished showing Blu around, he turned to her. The thing Blu didn't understand was why the king didn't make someone else show her where everything was. But the thought quickly left her mind when the king spoke agian.

"Now this is where you'll be staying," he said standing in front of a wooden door. He swung the door opened and Blu peered inside.

"There's one more important rule you need to know." Blu stared at the king, her hairs sticking up on her neck.

"You do what I want, when I want. Got that?" Blu nodded her head obediently. The king scratched his chin.

"Good," he said. "Now settle down here, I want everyone in bed by 10:00. Got it?"

"Yes your majesty," Blu said with a slight bow. A small grin grew on the kings face and he shut the door behind him, leaving Blu alone in her room.

Moments later, the door swung open agian. In came a girl wearing servant clothing. She was maybe a couple of years older than Blu. When her eyes laid on Blu, she gave her a slight smile. She shut the door behind her as Blu stared at her.

"The King is something else isn't he?" The girl said as she straighten her bed. Blu let out a small laugh.

"He's something alright," she said. The girl turned to Blu and gave her a smile.

"I'm Rachel," the girl said.

"I'm Blu," Blu said.

"I know," Rachel laughed. They could already tell they would be good friends.

But when Rachel thought about all the work and pain Blu would go through being the king's servant, her smile faded.

Blu seemed to realize but she didn't say anything. She quickly thought of changing the subject.

"So how long have you been here?" She asked. But she immediately knew she had said the wrong thing when rachel's expression became more sad.

"Almost 9 years," she said with a bland tone.

Blu's eyes widened. Almost 9 years? She didn't know how Rachel could go through this for that many years.

"Wow that's unbelievable," Blu said.

"Oh but that's nothing compared to some other servants," Rachel said as she straighten her bed. "Craig's been here for 14 years."

"Craig?" Blu questioned.

"He's one of the other servants," Rachel replied, sitting down on her made bed.

"Exactly how many servants are there?" Blu asked curiously.

"17," Rachel answered. Blu looked around. There were only 9 beds in this room.

"Then we're does everyone sleep?" She asked.

Rechel laughed. "You're just full of questions."

"Well I'm sorry but I'm kinda new to this place?" Blu said.

"There are two rooms," Rachel said, answering Blu's question. "This is the girls room and the other one is the boys room. If the king catches any of us in the wrong room-" Rachel started then glided her finger across the her neck. "You're dead."

The two girls continued to talk for a couple of minutes until Rachel had to get back to work. Blu was left alone in the room agian. The king had told her she wouldn't be working today. Tomorrow she would start her work.

Before, Rachel had asked Blu if she had wanted to go to dinner. But Blu wasn't hungry. So she just lied in her bed, and stared at the ceiling.

It wouldn't be hard for Blu to fit in. But she would eventually. And before she knew it, she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Soon, the other female servants went back to their room to find a sleeping Blu. Not wanting to wake her up, they too went straight to bed.

Later that night, Blu heard the door squeak open a little. Her eyes shot up to the door, waiting to see who it was. Blu could tell all the other servants were asleep because she heard soft snores.

Finally, the door opened a little more to reveal the king himself. Blu immediately shut her eyes, hoping the king hadn't seen her awake. Why was the king here?

But just when Blu opened her eyes to see if the King had left, she saw him staring right at her. She froze, her heart pounding quickly. But she didn't brake the stare, she didn't close her eyes. She just stared at the king and admired his handsome features. But she quickly pushed her thoughts away.

She had no idea what was going on in the king's head, but she almost, could have sworn she saw a small smile shape on his lips. But it quickly faded and Blu have wondered if she had just imagined it.

The king looked away shamefully and quietly shut the door behind him.

What was that? Blu had no idea why the King was there or why he was staring at her and hiding punished her for not being asleep. She didn't think anyone else had noticed the king's presence.

But once again Blu became sleepy again and whatever was going through the king's head didn't matter anymore. The whole castle was quiet and it had an eerie darkness. who knows what the King has in store. He is always full of surprises. But let's just say, it won't be a good one.

What Blu had gotten into was so much worse than she thought...
