"Bring the Princess back, please." Auntie Emma started kneeling and begging Joaquin to bring the Princess back.
"I don't trust you. That's why I'll have to take the Princess. WITH US!"
"Please Sir, please bring back my daughter, please!" The Queen started to cry as she also begged him not to take the Princess.
He pointed the gun on the Queen but I stood up.
"Don't you dare touch anyone here. If you truly loved the Princess as your sister, you wouldn't do anything to harm her." I said as I stepped forward and tried to steal the gun from him.
It remained silence as I forced him to release the gun from his hand.
If I am his sister, then he shouldn't do anything to harm me. He must listen if he treasures me, right?
As I get near to him, I can feel the tense feeling in my chest.
"Do you really think you got me fooled?" He quickly pointed his gun in my head.
"L-let go!" I could hardly breathe as he tried to choke me by his arms around me.
"Joaquin please stop this!"
"You all tried to fool me and now you'll have to see this woman end her life."

"Atticus."
"What?"
"Wait, are you mad?" I asked him because of his expression that he just showed me.
"No. I'm not."
"O-okay." I just stayed silent because of his cold voice.
I don't even know what's the matter with him.
As we walked, I could feel my heart beats fast.
"A-atticus?" I utteredly call his name as he was far away from me. He didn't even turn around to see me but he pause for a while.
"A-aren't we there yet?" I've never been to the woods and it is so dark I'm getting nervous.
But as I turned Atticus wasn't there.
"A-atticus?" I called his name but he was nowhere to be found.
I ran fast to look for him everywhere but I didn't see him. I started to cry as someone covered my mouth and lost my senses.
I woke up from a very noisy sound and as I opened my eyes, I saw Atticus.
Bleeding and lying on the ground with his whole body on mine.
"A-atticus? Atticus wake up please."
"A-aisla, my love."
"No, no please. This isn't true, right?"
"Right???" I cried.
"Aisla shh. I'm fine. I am my love. D-don't worry about me. I have e-escaped you now."
"Atticus, Atticus!" I screamed as he lost his last breath.
Why didn't you answer me?
If we were out of the woods?
