Today we packed up our things and started on the road. Not that we had a lot, but I don't really like carrying stuff. Nina and Roxanne never stop talking, and Triz never takes her hand off her dagger. What is she so afraid of? I'm not going to question it. Our friendship is hanging by a thread as is, so, it's best not to push boundaries. Nina then looked at a tree as it was getting dark and said;

"I recognize this tree... Shit! Shit, shit, shit! Dahlia, we have to run. I forgot that we can't come back to the capital! We have to run!"

As I was turning around to run, someone grabbed my arm and threw me to the ground. It was a guard. Fuck. What did he want? I'm not going back. I can't go back, so I kicked him in the chest three times, he then held down my legs, and I couldn't move. Nina then turned around to see me pinned, she then grabbed Trizes dagger, and threw it at the guards head, and the blade entered his head. He then fell dead on top of me. I ripped the dagger out of his head, got up and ran. I'm not staying here another second. I cannot hide myself anymore. I am not a Princess. I am a bard. When we got to the boarder, my dad and some guards on horses were there. My dad then jumped off his horse and said;

"Last chance, Dahlia. Come home, and we can put all this madness behind us. We'll go back to being perfect. I want it to be your choice. Please choose the more sensible path."

I backed up and said;

"Don't you understand, father? I have. I'm free to do whatever I want now. I'm not held back by the weight of responsibility. I'm finally me! Please let me be. We'll never cross paths again, if you let me go. I swear on it. Just let me go."

My dad shook his head. Two guards then jumped off their horses and grabbed my arms. Nina, Triz, and Roxanne were then held at sword point. Nina smacked the sword point she was held at and said;

"¡Hijo de puta, deja ir a mi novia!"

I was then forced to my knees and Nina was punched in the face. She was knocked back, and Roxanne tried to go to her, but was stopped by the sword she was held at. I looked up at my father and said;

"What do you want from me? What will it take to make you let us go? What? Money?"

My father then shook his head and said;

"My dear, this is for your own good. These people have gotten into your mind, and ruined it. Nina over there escaped from her Lord father, and will be returned in the morning."

Triz shot a quick look at Nina and then at the guards that were holding us and said;

"Enlève tes mains de mes amies, trou du cul!"

My father shook his head and said;

"I cannot understand you. And the pleasure house you come from, you still owe years, so you're going to be sent back in the morning as well. Though luck for you, my dear."

Roxanne stood there silently until she said;

"My king, what'll it take for you to let us leave?"

My father looked at me and said;

"My daughter to come with us. That's all it takes. If she does, you three can leave."

I then stopped fighting the guards and said;

"I will comply. Just let them go."

The guards then let go of my arms, and I stood up. Nina looked at me scared and said;

"Mi amor, you don't have to do this... I promise. We'll be fine. We will meet again."

I shook my head and said;
