Secrets We Keep (COMPLETED)

Chapter 21

"Once upon a time, there lived a pixie named  Savannah. Savannah was the youngest princess of  5. Her older sisters, Beauty, Petals, Clover and  Aster were all loved and beautiful. They all had their Mother, Queen Dahlia's flawless brown skin, alive beaming green eyes, luxurious and magnificent long curls of a beautiful shade of silver and pearls and had the most plushiest pink lips. Everyone adored them. Especially Beauty, she was the prettiest as her beauty shone like the sun. Except for Savannah.

Savannah's beauty lied within her. Whereas her's sister's didn't. Her sister's was on the outside not the inside. And Savannah's inside not outside. That was why Savannah was her mother's favourite. And that made Beauty angry.

One day, all of a sudden, the sister's parent's died. Queen Dahlia and King Antonio were dead. The sister's grieved and  cried for days, and the whole kingdom fell sad. Beauty, as the oldest, was given the throne. She became Queen. And as Beauty was ugly on the inside, she banished Savannah from the kingdom, out of jealousy. 

Years crawled past and the sister's grew. Savannah had been accepted in to a nearby village. Beauty, Petals, Clover and Aster grew and became more beautiful on the outside, and ugly on the inside. 

Savannah was admired and loved so much in the village for her kindness, generosity, selflessness and of how caring she was. Kids and Adults loved her. And so they gave her the throne to guide their village. Which Savannah did, and because of how beautiful she was on the inside, the village became as rich as the Queen. When Beauty, who was still Queen, found out she ordered her sister Savannah to come to talk. 

It was a plan, to kill Savannah and drown her. Beauty asked Savannah to take a stroll with her along the river, and Savannah thought Beauty had become kinder. But, as Savannah and Beauty stood at the shore of the deepest part of the river, the other sister's jumped out and tied Savannah to a heavy cannon ball and silenced her with a blindfold and a piece of cloth around her mouth.

Savannah was pushed in to the river where she drowned. Beauty went back to ruling the kingdom. Savannah's body was found at the river near the village. The villagers were so sad and without Savannah became very poor. But, when they dragged Savannah's ugly body on to shore, her beautiful soul came out and danced in to the sky.

The river had made it blue. And Savannah's soul went to rest on the moon. And on the night of her death, when she is so beautiful on the inside, Savannah lights up the moon, turning it blue to remind us of how:

True Beauty is not in the face, but a light in the heart (~ Khalil Gibran)"
