Just Ella (1999)
“I had a moment of wondering if I’d merely had a strange dream about living in a castle—I always woke stiff and cold and sore back home. But then I opened my eyes and saw the uneven stone of the castle, instead of the plaster walls of home. No, the dream was true. Only it had become a nightmare.
I sat up slowly, fighting waves of dizziness. When I finally reached an upright position, I leaned my head against the wall behind me and surveyed my surroundings. I was alone. But I was not in my usual ...room. This place was nothing but stone walls, dirt floor, and the narrow wooden bench I’d been lying on. The only window was high over my head. It held no glass to keep out the chill—only a crisscross of bars. The heavy wooden door across from me also was barred, and lined with heavy rods of iron.

The dungeon.
I blinked several times, as if hoping the view would change if I only looked again.
“I don’t understand,” I murmured. “Why am I here?”MoreLess
