Why Have You Brought Me Here? (for Erik Leverne)

[vickiclark18]

Christine had been wandering the manor for days in complete confusion, almost in a daze, having no idea how or why she had come to be there. She just couldn't get her head around why she was meeting so many other people with almost identical names to her, or the people she had known back in her world, and yet, had never seen or heard of them before in her life.
She decided to take a look outside in the gardens in an attempt to clear her head and think over exactly why she had been brought here, if there was any specific reason. Nobody she knew was here...not even Raoul. Oh, Raoul! She missed him so much...being apart from him was only making her realise just how in love with him she actually was. Christine sat herself down on a bench, hidden by the overgrowth of a nearby hedge, and began to cry. She could make head nor tail of her situation and just wanted to go home.

Erik had been sat on a stone bench on his own in the garden enjoying the surprisingly pleasant weather and a book he had stolen from the library. He supposed it wasn’t exactly stealing though since he supposedly lived there now. He sighed angrily when the annoying sound of crying disturbed the silence and shut his book, keeping his thumb in between the pages he was currently reading. For the love of God, what did they have to cry about?
“Do shut up, you really are terribly annoying,” He said loudly and irritably before sitting back and attempting to return to his book.
