Malena wacthed the hunters ride away from her hiding place, a bit curiouse to see what had been caught in their traps. her delicate bare feet made no sound as she walked slowly the the hidden trap, a small creature stared up at her its black fur matted and dirty big green eyes pleading for her help, Malena glanced around before breaking the trap open the sound echoing through the forest,it squealed as a thanks and speed away not even looking back "well well what do we have here?" Malena jumped heart racing as she turned to face the two battered looking men at her with disgust "looks like the little wicth came out to play" one laughed some of his yellow stained teeth missing "well it would be ashame if we didnt accept her invitation" Malena plaed stepping back as the men slowly advanced her,there smiles pure evil as look she had known since childhood.... the look of hatred... malena ran her hair flying in her face as she heard the mens angry shouts as her footfalls broke twigs,her skirts tearing on the bark of the overgrown trees "get back here girlie!!!!" One shouted a sicking glee in his voice,Malena yelped as her skirts tripped her falling infront a stream her frightened bright teal eyes stared back at her,her pale skin taited with blood from the branches she ran past.
she pushed back her midnight hair from her face bitting down on her plump red lips as she got up shakeily to her bleeding feet, trying to run faster as the mens pounding feet sounded behind her, her eyes blinded by tears as her cut feet stung she cried out as she slammed into a solid warm wall falling into a bundle of skirts,she whipped her teary eyes and looked up if she had felt trapped before she was doomed now, she had fallen infront of the palace and an angry soldier stared down at her in disgust "state your perpose girl".
The kingdom of Maria so magical and enchanting it seems for travellers and other kingdoms but for those who dwelled and lived here it was on full of the stench of death and betrayal, beggers and sick people littered the kingdoms streets while the upperclass rode pass in the coachs not care to spare a glance or some change, and the royal family was no better infact they were ten times worse with their treatment and justice a man could get away with murder and deflowering a young madein if he possesed enough coin. And this was exactly the kind of world Malena lived in it would not change nor bow to no one and as she stared helplessly at soldier before her she knew she had chossen the wrong day to leave her cottage.
