~CHAPTER ONE~
The King
I stood watching the limp figure drift from upright, to lying on the ground. Dead. I wanted to scream as loud as I could. But I knew it would get me nowhere, it would just make a bigger mess. I tried to calm my nerves from the drastic experience, didn't help. I breathed with fury and sadness swelling inside me, I would've taken the place of the victim any day, even though I was just a seven year old girl, I have matured and become intelligent enough to realize something. Everything I loved was ruined. By one person. My brother.
I have no family except for my brother, which I don't even consider 'brother'. He always would remark on how he hates the family, and how he hated our bond. Which made no sense, we had no bond and he knew it. I was raised by nature, I would wake up at midnight every night just to see the animals preying and hunting. I learned how to stalk up and how to steal. It may not sound good but, we had no food so we did all what we could. Till the day my dad bought a bow for hunting. And... And... my brother...

"Raven wake up" the other servants ordered
"wait... what time is it?" I asked rather shocked it was so bright out
"its lunch, now go prepare the king his lunch, I already made him breakfast saying you made it." my best friend replied, she always saved me from near whippings.
"thanks so much, I'll help you clean after"
"no need, the king requested you join him."
I was speechless, the long requested me to join him. this either meant a horribly bad or terrifically good circumstance, considering my luck...
I didn't have time to think about that I had to wow him with my cooking. I never was as good as the others but I did make some delicious sandwiches. I knew the king's favorite, roast beef. I decided to make a fancy one and use spices and grilling and all the wonderful things. when the clock struck twelve I nearly panicked. I had no clue what the king wanted, but hopefully the sandwiches were good.
I sat the plates down and the king looked at the food like it was the best meal he'd seen. I watched his blue eyes practically devoure the sandwich with just a mere gaze. his broad shoulders made him look beautiful and his black hair was combed perfectly. all the women in the palace raved about him, how he is such a charmer and how he is extremely handsome. this is the first time I saw him, he was better than imagined.
"Raven why are you dressed as a servant?"his smooth velvet voice questioned? before I could answer or ask how he knew my name, my friend was called out to dress me properly.
we walked out of the dining room into the hall.
"why am I here?" I asked Robin as she walked with me to where the king had my clothing set.
"you didn't know did you?"she asked curiously.
"no... what should I know?"
"nothing, never mind, you'll see first you must be dressed."
we walked to the room and I bathed and dressed. the king didn't want me till dinner anyways so I took a minorly long time. mainly thinking about what was going on. could it be? no. but... nah. I questioned reasons until I was dressed and it was five twenty five pm, five minutes before meeting with the king again. I was nervous as heck.
