Chapter 27 – The frightening truth.

I woke up, surprised to find I wasn't in my own bed and it took me a minute to remember what had happened. My head ached as I sat up in what was the biggest bed I had ever seen. I was covered in black and gold silk covers and I seemed very high up as though the bed was on a higher platform. I looked around and there were curtains all around with a tiny amount of light coming through the cracks. I realised that I was sat in a four-poster bed and the curtains were drawn.

I sat there afraid to move as the drugs had now worn off and I was fully awake. But then I felt down to my side that was still bandaged and there was no pain. I decided that I was going to get up, as I was stupid being scared. What was I scared of? Draven had clearly saved my life.

I moved back the curtains expecting someone to be behind them. I was faced with semi-darkness that was lit only by a few candles and the moonlight that poured through glass doors opposite the bed where I lay. My eyes had already adapted to the light and I noticed that the bed was indeed on a higher section of the floor. It reminded me of the way Draven's table was in the club. It had three steps around the platform and I swung my legs over the side ready to get down. I stopped, checking I was alone before moving. The room was in shadows showing furniture but not allowing the details to be seen.

There was a candle lit on a small table that was closest to the bed. The candle illuminated a small space around it but stopped me from seeing further into the room. I stepped down off the bed and held on to the frame to steady myself. My legs felt like jelly and my muscles ached as though I had recently run a marathon.

I turned to look back at the bed where I had just been sleeping and was amazed to see it looked even bigger. It was a huge wooden four-poster but the four posts looked more like tree trunks, being massive carved spindles holding a wooden roof that looked as if it had been carved by Da Vinci himself! From there hung luxurious fabric that matched the bedding. I pulled them back revealing more of the bed, which could in its own right, have been a state.

I turned to the table and noticed a glass filled with the same liquid that Draven had made me drink and there were two pills next to it. I picked up the paper that was next to them both and read the words that looked as though they had been written in calligraphy.
