"Hello can anyone help me?" I asked, my heart racing. My "parents", the King and Queen of England, beat me, the princess, on a daily basis, so I ran away. Now I am living on the streets, but the guards that work for my parents want to catch me. If I get caught they will kill me. I need help. I am only 6. I'm just going to keep running, it has worked in the past, but what am I going to do then? I know, I can sneak onto a boat, I don't care where it's going just out of England. I just need to wait for the supply ships, then I can escape from this hell. I move towards the docs for the next shipment, hiding in the shadows so that the guards don't see me. I got to the docs and waited there until the next shipment. It took a couple days, but a shipment from Egypt came. Unfortunately guards were stationed there. I guess that my "parents" knew that I was going to try to leave the country.

It took two years, but I did it, I escaped. Even though my "parents" knew that I would use the ships, I got pity from a Crewmember, and he got me onto the ship. Within a couple months I became friends with all the Crewmates and we decided that I would help them deliver the packages in exchange for living on their boat, at least until someone takes me in. I smiled with content, I'm finally safe.

It's been a year now and I'm now nine. I have been doing supply runs for a couple months now. Two months ago I got my ears pierced and got these pretty earrings, their Gold plated Flowers with an eye in the middle for the Pistil (middle of the flower).

Today is going to be different. I could just feel it.
I walk down the streets and wave to the people I know. When I got to my usual cart I ordered the usual and started people-watching. I saw a boy with white hair who looked around my age, maybe a year or two older, with a girl with black hair who looked a few years older than me. Soon the Clerk brought me the usual, which is, ten loaves of bread, and some fish. I soon left and made my way to the ship.
While on my way to the ship, I got pulled into an alleyway. I turned around and saw my "parents". 'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, why are they here? Why now?' They started to hit me anywhere they could. I dropped my food and started fighting back, but it was two against one, and I was at a disadvantage. Regan grabbed me while Randall beat me up.
Because of the noise, the white-haired boy came to investigate and they ran. He came up to me and asked if I was ok, I quickly assured him I was, but he must have seen through the mask and saw me wincing in pain.
"Are you sure, you seem like you're hurt."
"I'm fine, now, I need to get going."
"Wait, what if they come back?"
"I'll just have to get out of here before they do. By the way, what's your name?"
