Hey, Y'all! This is my first fanfiction! Please leave comments on how this can be improved and let me know if you want to read more. I will try to update this story as much as I can! Please, no hate. Hope y'all enjoy the story!

I didn't want to forgive them. After everything they put me through, After the many cold chilled nights, or the numerous scars all over my body, some physical, some you can't see, but are very much there.

This is a story of how my life went from chaos to tragedy to unspeakable horrors that will haunt me for the rest of my life. My Dad has told me for many years now to write what occurred three years ago today! Today is the anniversary of when one choice ruined my life and would alter the course of it, for better or worse! Now, I finally feel ready to share a personal story, my story, a roller coaster of a life that has unfortunately become my reality.

Most of you might want to close this book right now. Forget this happens to kids and adults, and go on with your sheltered, bubbled life! Fair warning this is not for the faint of heart. You might even shed some tears! You have been warned, my friends.
Now back to the story that changed the course of my life. Let me take you back to the time 1780, to a young boy no more than fifteen, who lost the only person who loved him, and did everything in his power to get him back!

You know the story if you are here. I poured amber on the rocks, Dad got imprisoned, sang a long song about making my Dad proud, just to get thrown out of the castle by the stupid guards, cried, ate, survived, went to the capitol and got rocks thrown at me. Kings goons came to get me, of course, outsmarted them, tricked rapunzel into stealing the flower, sang an evil song, kidnapped the queen, army yada yada, went to jail, got more rocks thrown at me, cried some more, and eventually ended up at this dumb trial. We know I'm guilty so what's the point of this trial? Freddy should just lock me up for eternity and be done with it.
I slumped in my chair as Nigel, the advisor, read my charges and how I'm a thief and a nuance to the peace blah blah blah. My mind zoned out as I glanced around the courtroom. Numerous capital citizens sprawled throughout the courtroom yelling, wow, really bad, words! Wooo if I ever let those words slip from my mouth, Dad would tan my hide!

I gazed upward at the king and queen dressed in their regular attire. The queen in her elegant purple dress and the king in his royal suit says, I think I'm so superior, and I want everyone to know! Now let me stroke my scruffy beard as I sentence a kid to death or life of imprisonment. The two are sitting in their two thrones side by side, hands intertwined as if they were the ones on trial. Both their eyes are plastered on the arrogant royal advisor, currently standing rigidly, back completely straight, as if the guy is a stick bug at the front of the courtroom!

"Varian, are you even listening?" He snaps at me, and all eyes gaze into my soul. I mentally shrug. As I feel hundreds of piercing glares directed at me through the back of my head. I gaze into Nigel's dark brown ugly eyes

"Oh yeah..erm, please continue" I let out a coy smirk as I moved my hands into a continuous motion!

"Varian of Old Corona, you are hereby sentenced to life in prison!" exclaims the royal advisor as he scans the long scroll of all my past crimes and my final judgment.

I glance at his long crooked nose and arrogant composure filtering throughout the room. He slowly brushes an invisible fluff off his bright red coat that hangs down to the ends of his ankles. His mouth formed a crooked smile as he glared in my direction. That only one so full of themselves and evil could have had at such a time as this. He glares at me with his dark pitless brown eyes, brows furrowed as his long pointy nose sniffs the air around him like a bloodhound as if he's looking for his next prey. Unfortunately, I think it's me.

To be honest, I expected worse. I mean, come on, I did kidnap the Queen of Corona and committed treason by stealing the flower and drugging the entire castle, ha genius, sometimes I feel like I don't give myself enough credit for the great plans I come up with!
