CHAPTER TWO
Hours later I awoke to knocking at the door. It took me a few seconds to process what was happening.
“Miss Sarah! You are wanted at dinner!” the voice yelled.
I soon realized it was the butler. I jumped out of bed and pulled the heavy chest from the door and opened it.
“It is time for dinner. Your mother asked that I fetch you for dinner,” he said as he began to walk away.
“Wait!” I yelled at him. “Will you escort me to dinner?”
“As you wish,” he said.
I closed the door behind me and followed him to the dining hall. I did not bother to freshen up for dinner or change. I was not going to take my chances of being alone in the castle. So I followed the butler instead.
“Oh, there you are. I am glad you finally made it,” my mother said as she sat alone at the table.
“Where is everyone?” I asked mostly wanting to know where Adrian was.
“Your stepfather went to the village earlier and I’m not sure where Adrian has wondered off too. I hear he has a pretty young village girl that he sees quite often. He rarely spends nights here anymore.”
My heart sank when I heard her say it. I did not want that to be true. I had no idea that he had another lover. Of course he would though. He was absolutely gorgeous and rich, of course everyone girl in the village would want him. He probably had more than one girl. I felt silly that I had allowed myself to begin to fall for him. This was probably why he flaked out on taking me into the village today. I felt my heart grow heavy and also swell with anger at how I allowed myself to be used. Now I was frightened and felt like I was losing my mind and he was not here. He was off fucking someone else. This made me feel enraged. Then there was a noise as someone entered the dining hall. I got excited that it might be Adrian, however it was not. It was my new solemn stepfather Erich.
“How was town darling?” my mother said.
“Good, very good,” he said as he sat and started to eat the rich German stew in front of us.
I picked up my spoon to eat and saw the crest on the stemware once more. It was a bear. Suddenly I realized there was more to the bear on the crest than I had ever thought until my encounter today. Something was definitely going on here and since Adrian had abandoned me for another woman, I had to find out on my own.
“I saw a bear today. It was inside and then it ran off into the woods,” I blurted out just to see his reaction.
My mother was embarrassed at my behavior and laughed, “Darling that is so silly. She was drinking today,” she said to Erich. He was quite and just stared at me.
“No I was not drinking. There
