Uncontrollable

Prologue

The sound of the siren woke me out of my deep slumber. I shot up the same time my door burst open. Mrs. Lane rushed into the room. "Hurry and get up Princess! We must leave!" She grabbed my out of the bed and shoved a bag into my arms. "Mary, what is going on?" I placed my gloved hand on her shoulder. She ignored my question. "Please Princess we don't have much time. I must get you out of here before they show up." She took my hand and we were running down the hall. The guards were all running the opposite direction with their weapons at hand.

What is all this commotion about?

"Mary, what is going on?" I demanded, stopping where I stood. She looked pleadingly at me, "Please Princess. We don't have much time?"

"Tell me what is going on this instant?!"

She looked around nervously then at me, "The King and Queen are dead."

My world felt like it was falling apart, I couldn't breathe and I felt myself loosing control. No! No! No! They can't be dead! THEY CAN'T!

"PRINCESS!"

I looked up in a daze to find Mary looking at me frantically, "We must go! NOW!" She pulled me along down the hallway, making turns almost through every hallway. It was like someone was following us. I heard steps rushing towards us, which made Mary get more frantic. We turned on a dead end. Well, what I thought was a dead end until she pressed on the wall. It slid open without a creek. To a normal person it would look like a dead end, but for someone who knows it would see the slight dent in the wall where you were supposed to press.

She pushed me in frantically and gave me a cloak, "You must go alone now, I have business to attend to here. You will go down this passage and DON'T stop, no matter what you hear. It will lead you out of the castle and into the village. Get out of the kingdom as fast as you can, go through the woods once you do and do not stop running. In that bag will be a plane ticket, make sure you get far enough away to leave, do not go to the nearest airport. The smaller the better. You will get on the plane and do not come back, no matter what you hear or see, am I understood?"

"Where am I going?" I looked at her fearfully.

"The States." I looked at her shocked, why so far away?! I could go to the nearest country, like Paris or Amsterdam. "But why so far away?"

"It is for your safety, now please Princess do as I ask and go." She pleaded. I looked into her eyes and saw so much fear and death. I nod my head reluctantly and she quickly shut the passage. It quickly turned dark to where I could barely see my own hands. I did as she asked and walked slowly and quietly down the passage. The air felt so wet and suffocating. It was winter, which made the chamber colder and air thinner. I felt myself shake and my legs get weaker. This isn't surely the proper attire to go out in the cold but I have no choice. What seemed like hours, I came across a small circular iron gate. Making sure I couldn't be seen, I peeked slightly into the streets.

There where people screaming and running frantically down the streets. I heard bombs and guns going off not too far from here. I was about to open the gate until two really big men stood in front of it. "She has to be somewhere. The boss would have our head if she got away." The other one grunted in agreement, "Lets hope she didn't, I have a family to feed." They both continued on to find me.

Who's looking for me and why do they want me so badly? I have to get out of here.

I slowly opened the gate and it creaked slightly at the intrusion. I forcefully pushed it until it was big enough for my body to fit through. I closed it as fast as I can without making too much noise, slipped on my cloak and walked briskly through the alleyways. I hid behind a trash bin as I heard voices come my way. Three men were talking in hush voices, but I heard the words, 'Princess', and 'kill'.

I covered my mouth before I gasp. Someone wants to kill me?! But why? What did my family ever do?

I waited a couple of moments before I ran to the edge of the village. I climbed up the vines on the wall with much struggle and jumped down over the wall unto my back.

"Ouch." I groaned holding my aching shoulder. Hot searing pain spread through my body when I tried to get off the ground. I held in my scream and limped into the woods. When I passed into the trees gunshots went off.

Oh my! I have to hide!

I tried to run as fast as I could but a sharp pain rushed to my back. I yelled out, falling down on the ground. I tried to get up but I was kicked forcefully down. I yelled out in agony and they just pressed down harder. I grit my teeth and breath deeply through my nose.

"Look guys!" He called out laughing, "It seems that we found our little "Princess." Heavy footsteps fell short in front of me. A dirty boot stopped in front of my face and I had the urge to spit on it, but its not ladylike. "Good job Harris, you just saved yourself from getting hung," he rumbled.

"What should we do with her s-sir?" He croaked

"Drown her. In the pond."

I think my heart just stopped. I won't go down without a fight!

He picked my up by my hair and I took the chance to kick him where any man doesn't supposed to be kicked. He howled and pain and let me go. I fell harshly on the ground and didn't have time for his next move. He kicked me to my side and I screamed out. Blood spilled out of my lips and it was hard to breathe. I faintly heard yelling but didn't know whether it was coming from them or someone else.

He dragged me by the hair on the ground, not caring that I was getting scratched and poked by sticks and stones. I felt the stings on my face and the dirt wasn't making it any better. He lift my body and I let out a scream before he dumped me in the water. I instantly sunk to the bottom. Pin like needles tingled up my toes to my fingers. I had no air in my lungs and it was too painful to move. I felt the darkness slowly seeping in. I had no more fight in me, I give up. Darkness clouded my vision until I was consumed by it. Into a silent blissful sleep.
