It's dark I've never been to this part of the forest before. Where am I? I have been running so long I'm lost. I hear a twig snap behind me I spin around. Oh god they are going to catch me. "Hey...." I hear someone whisper I spin back around and gasp. Who was that? Who is out here with us? " Hey you..." I spin in circles. " Over here." A pair of glowing yellow eyes appear near a bush to my right now. The only creatures that have glowing yellow eyes are trolls and they are not to be trusted for any reason. "Wh.... What do you want?" I mutter. "Hand me the baby I can keep her safe." The troll holds out its long arms that would normally drag the ground as it walked. I pull my baby closer to my chest. I am terrified that any minute the kings knights will be here to drag me away from my baby. "Why should I trust you everyone knows trolls only care about them selves?" I ask. The troll grumbles " Right now I am the only option you have to safe your baby." I look down at my beautiful baby girl into her sea-green eyes and kiss her forehead. " I love you, my darling girl." I reluctantly had over my daughter to the troll. Once the troll has her in its big hands it lets out this god awful roar in a matter of minutes the kings knights have appeared. The kings knights surround me I see the troll hand my little girl to the captain of the knights my girls father and my husband. " Jasper please let me take our daughter and leave you will never have to hear from us again." I plead. "Silence winch! How dare you speak to the captain of the kings guard in such a tone!? He glares at me the love that was once there now replaced with hatred. I look at him and try to get through to the man that I feel in love with. "Please Jasper It's me Lillian your wife, the bearer of our child. Please let me go." " I said SILENCE WINCH!!" " Jasper why are you doing this me? Why are you doing this to our child? Don't you know what they will do to her!? Don't you know that she will suffer greatly. She will become a slave in the kings castle. Jasper Please" I cry. He points at me with his free hand. " TAKE THIS WINCH TO THE KINGS DUNGEON!!" I try one last time to convince him to save us but it is in vain. I cry harder then before. Four members of the guard grab me and drag me away from my beautiful little girl. I can no longer see her face I have given up my futile efforts to try to save us from this damnation.
We reach the castle the guards are still dragging my shoes have fallen off some where in the wood as they drag me away. My feet are cut and blistered but I don't feel the pain I have become numb to this physical pain. I have lost my little girl and shall never see her again. My heart is empty I feel as if all that I once feel has been ripped right out except for this numbing pain. I am dragged down all two hundred and sixty-four steps my feet hitting and scraping on each and everyone. We reach the dungeon and I am thrown in a cell. Its dark except for the few luminescent mushrooms that grow in the cracks of the mosey stone floor, walls and ceiling. The dungeon had the smell of mold and and moss. There is a large puddle in the corner of the cell I crawl over to it. In the puddle I see a gruesome sight. My face is charcoaled and battered my left eye is swollen. My hair is a mess of tangles, twigs, leaves and chunks of mud. My once beautiful ball gown now a tattered mess as if I had choose dark black/blue rag to wear instead of the electric blue gown with the pastel pink trim I had chose to wear. My wings are broken and torn.I won't be flying for a long time. I splash some of the murky water on to my face to better inspect my wounds in the light of the mushroom cluster just above the puddle. I wash most the soot off and see all kinds off slashes from the tree branches that attacked my face as I ran through them.
Its been feels like months before I hear heavy footsteps outside my cell door. I hear the lock click, the hinges creak and moan in protest to the sudden movement. I light shines into the cell I cower from it the brightness stabbing my eyes. I can't see who is behind the light. " GET UP YOU WINCH. THE KING WISHES TO SEE YOU, NOW!!" I am grabbed by my arm and shoved to my feet. " WALK YOU I WILL DRAG YOU!!" I try to make my legs obey but I just crumple to the floor. " I SAID MOVE!" The soldier grabs my arm again and again I crumple to the floor. The soldier grabs me by my arm and drags my out of my cell and up the stairs but soon the soldier decides it is too much work and picks me up and carries me up. We reach the grand throne room and the soldier throws me down just outside the magnificent double doors. He bends close to my face but still far enough away so he won't have to smell the stench of me. "Now" he whispers " Try and walk for his Majesty I try once more to stand I stay standing for a minute maybe but it feels like a eternity before I fall to the ground once more. My feet are still cut and blistered and I think my right foot is infected. The soldier growls he opens the door and pulls me by my arm in to the grand ball room. He drags me across the white marble to the base of the steps, just below the kings throne. I look up at the king his long white beard hiding most his feature especially from the angle I lay. " Your Majesty." The soldier bows " The prisoner you requested." He is still bowing as he extends an arm in my direction. " Thank you, You may leave." The king state. " Your Majesty with all respect she is a dangerous...." He doesn't get to finish before the king cuts him off. " Does she look dangerous to you? " They both look in my direction. "No, she does not look dangerous your Majesty. " "Then you are relieved Soldier" The soldier bows " Yes, Your Majesty." The soldier turns on his heels and heads back out the double doors the doors closing behind him.
