IN A VILLAGE FAR, FAR AWAY, IN A LAND UNKNOWN TO MOST HUMAN KIND, THERE WAS A PRINCESS. THIS PRINCESS WAS KIND, LOVING AND BELIEVED THAT THE WORLD SHE LIVED IN WAS PERFECT, UNTIL...
"ADRIAN COME HERE, THERE IS A BABY GIRL AT THE DOOR." QUEEN MERIDITH SAID TO HER HUSBAND. "SHE'S BEAUTIFUL" KING ADRIAN SAID, "WHAT SHOULD WE DO?" "I DON'T KNOW BUT WE CERTAINLY CAN'T LEAVE HER LYING HERE OR SHE WILL FREEZE" SAID THE QUEEN. "HOW ABOUT WE RAISE HER AS OUR OWN, SHE COULD BE THE NEXT PRINCESS OF ADRILITH!" SAID THE KING "WHAT A SPLENDID IDEA!" SAID THE QUEEN, "WHAT SHOULD WE NAME HER?" "HOW ABOUT CAROLINE" SUGGESTED THE KING "PERFECT! ROGER, CAN YOU COME AND FETCH THE BABY" A QUICK RESPONSE CAME FROM THE SERVANT "YES YOUR MAJESTY"
10 YEARS AFTER
"DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK CAROLINE?"
"YES MOM"
"DID YOU PRACTICE YOUR INSTRUMENT?"
"YES MOM"
"GOOD, NOW GO PLAY AND BE BACK BY SEVEN O'CLOCK FOR DINNER"
"OK MOM"
AFTER DINNER CAROLINE STOMPED TO HER ROOM AND PLOPPED DOWN ON HER BED. "WHY DOES MOM ALWAYS CONTROL EVERYTHING I DO?" ASKED CAROLINE "SHE'S JUST LOOKING OUT FOR HER ONLY DAUGHTER" RESPONDED PETER HER PET FROG. PETER BELONGED TO A VERY POWERFUL WITCH AND CAROLINE GOT HIM AS A GIFT WHEN SHE WAS FOUND. "I KNOW, BUT SHE CONTROLS EVERYTHING I DO, I WISH I COULD BE NORMAL LIKE ALL THE OTHER GIRLS IN THE KINGDOM" CAROLINE GOT UP AND LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW "THEY ALL PLAY IN THE FIELDS AND GO TO SCHOOL, SCHOOL, OH I WISH I COULD GO TO SCHOOL!" CAROLINE PLOPPED BACK ON HER BED "BUT YOU'RE NOT LIKE THEM CAROLINE. YOU ARE THE PRINCESS OF ADRILITH AND THEY ARE ALL YOUR PEOPLE, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE SUCH A HIGH TITLE AND TO BE SAFE IN A WELL-PROTECTED CASTLE BECAUSE THE WORLD YOU SEE AROUND IS NOT NEARLY WHAT YOU THINK IT IS. YOU ARE IN A SAFE PLACE SO BE HAPPY, NOW, DON'T DISTURB ME I'M GOING TO SLEEP." PETER HOPPED ON TO HIS LILY PAD AND WENT TO SLEEP. CAROLINE WHISPERED TO HERSELF, "BUT I WANT TO SEE HOW NORMAL PEOPLE LIVE, TO PROVE THAT WE ARE ALL THE SAME, YES I WILL GO TOMORROW, NEVER LOOK BACK AND NO ONE WILL STOP ME" CAROLINE STARTED DAYDREAMING ABOUT THE NEXT DAY WHEN SHE WOULD GET OUT OF THE TERRIBLE CASTLE; AFTER AN HOUR CAROLINE FINALLY DRIFTED OFF TO SLEEP.
THE NEXT DAY CAROLINE STARTED TO PACK HER BAGS AND DRAW A MAP OF THE ROUTE SHE WOULD TAKE WHEN SHE WENT OUT OF HER CASTLE. HER PERSONAL BUTLER, ROGER, HELPED CAROLINE GET ALL THE MATERIALS. "IS GOING AWAY ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY CAROLINE?" ROGER ASKED "YES" RESPONDED CAROLINE "IN THIS CASTLE WE HAVE GRANTED FREEDOM TO SO MANY PEOPLE BUT I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN MY FREEDOM TO EVEN GO OUTSIDE THE CASTLE." "I UNDERSTAND BUT YOUR PARENTS WILL BE WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU CAROLINE" ROGER SAID "THE ONLY TIME THEY WOULD CARE ABOUT WHERE I AM, IS DURING ROYAL MEETINGS WITH PEOPLE FROM THE NEIGHBORING KINGDOMS SO THEY CAN FIND MY HUSBAND EVEN THOUGH I'M ONLY TEN!" CAROLINE SAID AS SHE STARTED TO PUT CLOTHES IN HER SUITCASE "OK, BUT YOU ARE COMING BACK, RIGHT?" ROGER SAID "NO, OF COURSE NOT! I WANT TO STAY OUTSIDE OF THIS CASTLE AND NEVER COME BACK HERE EVER AGAIN." CAROLINE EXCLAIMED "OH, OK. JUST PROMISE ME YOU WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF." ROGER SAID IN A SAD TONE "I PROMISE" CAROLINE SAID "NOW DO YOU THINK I HAVE EVERYTHING?" "YES. WAIT! YOU NEED A WEAPON SHOULD YOU ENCOUNTER ANY DANGER" ROGER GOT OUT A LONG BOX "THIS WAS YOUR GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHERS SWORD. KEEP IT WITH YOU AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS THIS WILL PROTECT YOU" "BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE A SWORD" CAROLINE WAS CONFUSED "DON'T WORRY, JUST TAKE THIS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE" "OK, THANKS ROGER. OH AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD MAKE A PORTABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR PETER SO IF WE SOMEHOW WOUND UP IN THE DESERT PETER WILL BE FINE " CAROLINE SAID "OF COURSE PRINCESS" ROGER WINKED AND WENT ON HIS WAY.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE MY LAST DAY IN THE CASTLE PETER" CAROLINE SAID "YOU SAID IT; I CAN'T WAIT TO CATCH MY OWN FOOD AGAIN!" PETER EXCLAIMED "PETER" "YES CAROLINE" "DO YOU PROMISE YOU WILL STAY WITH ME?" "OF COURSE CAROLINE, I WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU." "THANKS PETER" "NO PROBLEM, PRINCESS" PETER SAID "KEEP CALLING ME THAT BECAUSE AFTER TODAY I'M JUST GOING TO BE A REGULAR PERSON" CAROLINE SIGHED "I WONDER WHAT LIFE IS LIKE OUT THERE" "I DON'T KNOW BUT IT CAN'T BE THAT DIFFERENT, RIGHT?" PETER ASKED "RIGHT" CAROLINE RESPONDED. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS OF SILENCE PETER SAID, "HAVE YOU THOUGHT WHAT YOU WILL TELL PEOPLE YOUR NAME IS" "I'LL TELL THEM MY ACTUAL NAME, DUH" CAROLINE RESPONDED "OH, RIGHT" SAID PETER "I FORGOT YOU HAD A REAL NAME" "HAHA, LET'S GO GET SOME DINNER, WE HAVE A LONG DAY AHEAD OF US TOMORROW" SAID CAROLINE "YOU GOT THAT RIGHT" PETER RESPONDED AND THEY BOTH HEADED OUT TO THE GRAND DINING ROOM.
THE NEXT MORNING ROGER DELIVERED PETERS PORTABLE ENVIRONMENT. "I'M GOING TO MISS YOU PRINCESS" SAID ROGER "I'LL MISS YOU TO" SAID CAROLINE "CAN YOU COVER FOR ME SO MOM AND DAD DON'T KNOW I'M GONE?" "OF COURSE PRINCESS" SAID ROGER " BUT BEFORE YOU GO I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING" "OK, BUT MAKE IT QUICK, I WANT TO BE OUT OF THE CASTLE BEFORE THE SUN RISES SO NO ONE WILL SEE ME" SAID CAROLINE " I'LL TRY" ROGER SAID
"THE KING AND QUEEN, THEY AREN'T YOUR REAL PARENTS, THEY TOOK YOU IN WHEN YOUR BIRTH PARENTS LEFT YOU ON THE FRONT STEPS OF THE CASTLE" "WHAT!!" EXCLAIMED CAROLINE "HOLD ON, LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY" SAID ROGER "OK, SORRY" SAID CAROLINE "ANYWAY, SINCE THAT MOMENT I WAS IN CHARGE OF YOU, I FED YOU, I GAVE YOU BATHS, I DID EVERYTHING WITH YOU. SO I WANTED TO KNOW YOUR PAST AND I HAVE BEEN DOING A LITTLE DIGGING ON MY DAYS OF AND I FOUND OUT WHO YOU'RE BIRTH PARENTS ARE" "YOU DO! CAN YOU TELL ME" SAID CAROLINE "NOT EXACTLY" "WHY?" SAID A SAD CAROLINE "IT'S FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THIS KINGDOM" SAID ROGER "BUT AFTER TODAY I'M NOT GOING TO BE THE PRINCESS OF THIS SMALL KINGDOM" SAID CAROLINE "I'M AFRAID TITLES DON'T DISAPPEAR THAT EASILY, MANY PEOPLE WILL STILL RECOGNIZE YOU AS THE DAUGHTER OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE KILLED SO MANY PEOPLE FOR THEIR OWN ENJOYMENT" SAID ROGER "BUT I'M NOT THEM" SAID CAROLINE "THE VILLAGERS WON'T SEE IT LIKE THAT, AND IF YOU FIND OUT WHO YOUR BIRTH PARENTS AND SOMEHOW OTHER PEOPLE FIND OUT, THAN YOU AND POSSIBLY THE KINGDOM COULD BE IN GREAT DANGER." "OK, I GUESS THAT IS A GOOD REASON BUT I STILL WISH I COULD KNOW WHO MY BIRTH PARENTS WERE" CAROLINE SIGHED "WELL ITS ALMOST SUNRISE YOU TWO BETTER GET GOING NOW" SAID ROGER "YES, OF COURSE. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP ROGER" SAID CAROLINE "NO PROBLEM PRINCESS" SAID ROGER THEY BOTH HUGGED AND THEN ROGER WISHED BOTH OF THEM LUCK AND PETER AND CAROLINE WENT ON THEIR WAY.
