Her gown and his crown

Chapter I

I've been in this lonely cottage for as long as I remember, my name is Arabella, I am 16 and I've never had any friends or any social interaction with society that's because I am not allowed to leave this house. Since my mothers died in the war we had against Aristala, I've had no chance to go outside, for my safety (according to my aunt) but I believe there is something more than this.

One day, I heard a woman screaming for help while I was doing my chores, my aunt was not home so I did what I've never done before, I left the house, I knew I had to hurry up because my aunt was going to be home soon. When I reached the location of the scream, I saw no one but a radio, that's when I realized it was a set up, as I started running back to my home, I felt several people chasing me, I could feel my heart racing while I was running, my head was full of thoughts but I couldn't think one simple option to escape, so I just started running until my legs would colapse.

After running for at least 15 minutes I had to stop to recover, luckily those men stopped following me but as I was getting up from the ground I looked around and perceived that I was no longer next to my cottage..

-Holy fuck, what am I gonna do now? Well done Arabella, look what you got yourself into

I said to myself as I was looking for a clue to see where I was..

I heard some people talking as I was approaching the town, when I arrived, my eyes started to shine, it was the prettiest thing I've ever saw, the lights from the city, and the people just having fun. I remembered when I was little I visited town with my two mothers once, we got ourselves some popcorn from the candy shop and we went to a bar to get some drinks. That's when it hit me, I had to go to that same bar to have one last drinks with my mothers
