*******VOTE COMMENT FAN*******
One hundred and ninety-three dollars. I count it cent by cent once, twice, three times. Making sure that my mind isn't playing tricks on me.
''Your highness'' a small voice squeaks and i look up to see the maid, Claire standing in my doorway
''CLAIRE PLEASE'' I say through clenched teeth trying to keep my voice a whisper, i give her a flesh-raising stare, trembling she turns around and closes the door.
''sorry'' i apologize rubbing her shoulder as she sits cross legged beside me
''no its ok I know you're under a lot of pressure, Calpurnia''
''you don't say'' she lets out a smile reveling her perfect white teeth.
''Claire'' my voice is a whisper as i lean closer cupping my hand next to her ear
''I've got it, I've got it all!!''its hard to keep it a whisper because i just want to scream it out to the whole world!! but i know i mustn't.
Her eyes get wide as she looks down at the one hundred and ninety-three dollars -in change. ''you've got it....all?''
''yes'' i pull back a stray hair that dangles in front of my face and grab Claire's petite hands in mine.
''now i can finally leave this wretched place'' looking around at my canopy bed, my three story doll house that has been collecting dust since six years past, and the grand window that, if you look outside you are given a spectacular view of the palace garden and realize how much I'll miss this place.
Of course i would miss mother and father the people i cared the most about but i needed to have a taste of life, at least a lick.
Hopefully they'll understand my reason behind doing this,
Besides nobody would believe me about my future ''husband'' or fiance Ethan, he was a lieing, cheating, jealous, and abusing person. It was an arranged marriage so i had no way out, but only to escape. I had been caught once before as i had climbed out of my window and tried to ride away on my bicycle; the guards caught me before I could get my bike. The consequence had been brutal, a beating a day which had been more of a game then a form of punishment for me.
Ethan enjoyed his time with me, always using it to his advantage i always worried of him taking the only thing i had left....my virginity. he hasn't done so yet but I'm pretty sure its in the near future.
My parents are obviously to old and weak to notice anything out of the ordinary, the only person who knows of my abuse is the little kitchen maid Claire. Who comes in after a brutal beating to clean me up on the inside and out.
''You sure you still want to do this?All you have to do is tell you parents about the way he treats you and They'll execute him in a snap'' her pleading eyes and her tight grip nearly break my heart
''they'll never believe me, besides i don't love him and neither does he so its better for the both of us'' i get up fluffing out my yellow spring dress that i wore when i was six but the dress has been, modified so that it now goes 4 inches above my knees in the front and the back slides down to the floor.
Pulling the maid-wear out of my closet makes Claire gasp as she realizes my seriousness on the matter.
"please no Calpurnia this is sure to be a disaster, please he'll kill you this time!!'' grabbing a hold of my arm tears starting to make paths down her face
''there won't be a next time''
