You know what? I would really like to go ONE day without any problems... Is that really too much to ask? I don't know why I thought today would be the day to test my ability to tolerate people but here we are.

If one more person asks if I'm okay I'm going to scream. Seriously one little fall off the roof and people think I'm dead. Its gonna take a lot more than that to kill me, dear old dad made sure of that.

Maybe having a witch make sure your daughter can't die no matter how much you try to kill her was a great plan for him. Me, not so much. I guess that's what I get for trying to run away from my problems. Mainly this stupid castle.

"Oh my god, are you okay Lily" someone basically yells in my ear as I try to run inside to my room. I rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain.

'Can they get stuck back there... maybe if I do it long enough, I'll go blind, and hell send me to live in the northern estate'. Seems like a solid plan to me.

Once I get into this room, I see the surprise my stepsister left for me. My room is trashed, nothing has survived her claws this time. Not even my clothes.

'You would think she'd have a hobby by now' the voice in my head says.

'That would mean giving up her favorite one which is pestering me, Elara. I bet any minute now she's going to make up some story on how all this is my fault and bring father in to have me punished'. As soon as that thought finishes my door swings open so hard it hits the wall.

"What is the meaning of this Lilith" my father yells so loud it hurts my ears.

"Well, that depends on what you are going to believe this time father"

"Do not play games with me, your sister has already said she saw you do this so that you do not have to see the witch tomorrow". He gestures around dramatically towards the mess that has somehow even extended towards the balcony.

'She better not have thrown our stuff off the side of the castle' Elara is highly unamused with all this today.

'You know if you tell me what you are I could get out of seeing the witch and we could leave the castle and never come back here'

'You would like that, but we have nowhere to go, and I am not telling you just for you to tell him'

'Whatever'

I tune back into whatever my father is saying right as I hear "I guess the only way you will learn is if you spend some more time in the dungeons".

My heart drops, I can't go back to the dungeons I almost didn't come back last time entirely sane. 'Well, you really didn't' Elara buts in just to rub in the fact that she showed up down there last time. 'Hush, I am NOT going back' I yelled at her.

"I am not going back down there" I say to my father who stops talking and raises his eyebrows so high they disappear into his hair.

"What? I don't think I heard you correctly" he says in disbelief. I do not usually talk back to him out loud.

"You heard me, I'm not going. Last time you left me down there for 6 months." I start picking up things that are not broken and putting them back in their places as I try not to panic.

"I already told you it was a minor accident and I forgot to end your punishment. You cannot die so try not to be so dramatic all the time." He says like it's the most obvious course of action.

"If you try to put me down there, I will take as many people down as I can before they can lock me up" I stop and stare into his eyes. He knows I'm serious which is why it doesn't surprise me at all when I see him look slightly behind me and nod, and before I can turn around, I feel a sting on my neck. I look at my stepsister and see her smirk before she leaves, and my father walks out behind her while saying "take her to the dungeons to her special cell before this wears off".

"Yes, your majesty" is all I hear before everything fades into blackness.
