Amelie felt a small patch of her cheek begin to get slightly warmer. She warily opened her eyes to catch sight of the morning sunrise peeping through the slightly open curtains, which caused the corners of her mouth to tighten as she presented a small smile. She closed her eyes, took in a deep breath, before throwing the covers off of her body and swinging her legs on to the side of the bed. She stretched her torso and arms whilst yawning, before she stood up went to the curtains threw them wide open and called out to the other slaves in the room.
"Wakey, wakey. It's sunrise and that means we should all rise." She said, smiling more widely because she was feeling the energy rush to her head and spreading to the rest of her body. She looked over to see 2 empty beds. She shook her head and rolled her eyes and muttered quietly to herself,
"Poor things, but then again, that's what they get."
She wasn't shocked at this, once a week there would be at least 3 people taken at night because they had disobeyed orders. Amelie always thought they had it coming. She walked towards the empty beds, took the sheets off and put them in a pile to be taken down by one of the washing maids.
"We have 20 minutes to get down to the kitchen for breakfast so let's hurry." Amelie called out to the sleeping people once more before turning towards the bathroom and went through her daily routine of making sure she was presentable and as were the small children who still couldn't quite do it themselves.
