Elsa's  P.O.V

It was a little weird to take my top off in front of the prince , but I had to do it. I took off my shirt and the doctor and the prince walked behind me and they both gasp.

"It looks like you've been whipped" the doctor states

"I was" I answered

"By who" he questioned

"My mother" I say weakly, trying  to hide the fact that I was in pain.

"I see scars, have you been whipped before?"

"Sadly yes, this has been the 20th-30th time since my father abandoned us"

Suddenly the doctor touches my back and I flinch and groan in pain. Then the prince walks in front of me and stands there, a little too close for comfort.

"Why does your mother do this?" The Prince asks

" I don't know" I answer truthfully. I really got no idea why she does this. Maybe because it's fault my dad left? No it can't be! I didn't do anything wrong.

"Most of your cuts are not deep, but there is one I need to stitch up" the doctor says, then I remembered that I don't have the money to pay him, so I turn around to face him and he was getting the needle ready.

"You can't! I mean, I don't have the money to pay you" I cried then he looks at me and says

" It doesn't matter, this will get infected if I don't stitch it up. Now come over her and lay down on the bed  with your back  facing the ceiling. " the doctor instructed. And I do as told.

Jack's P.O.V

As the doctor put the needle in her skin, she flinched in pain but she didn't scream or cry. Not a single tear fell from her eyes . All I could think of was ' Wow...this girl is tough!' When it was over she put her shirt back on. I couldn't help nut ask," didn't that hurt? You didn't even scream or cry once!

"It hurt but not as much as what cause it " she replied and continue to talk " I should probably tell my mother I'm not in jail."

"Why would you be in jail?"

That's the thing, you told my mum that you are taking me to the castle and that's the only reason why people like me go to the castle. She'll probably be sad and angry that I'm not in jail but still have to go."

Why would she be upset and angry."  I can't help but wonder why this girl can't run away.

"Because she always wanted me out of her life, gone forever. I'm surprised she hasn't put a bullet to my brain yet." she says trying to hide the pain from the fact that her mother didn't want her and wanted her dead. Then  I had an idea.

" Hey, why don't you stay here, at the castle, just until you're old enough to live on your own" I said. She looked at me in shock and then said

"That's very nice of you, but, I'm only 16 and the law state that  to  live on my own I would have to be at least 22.  That's 6 years away and I don't think your parents the queen and king would approve of a villager living in the castle."

 "There's only one way to find out." I say and grabbed her wrist and started to drag her away from the doctor's office but before I left I said  a quick thank you to him.
