Elizabeth is now 16 and she lives in the forest. She decided to stay in the forest since she didn't know where any town was. She was able to find food and a shelter. Elizabeth found a village and got her food and water from there. The village was very nice because they would give her food for free. It was because they knew what happened to her village and how scared she was when it was attacked. She would work hard to help the village. It was her thank you for them giving her food and water to survive. One day Elizabeth started to train herself. She finally had a sword from the village. She would train herself day and night. After she trained she would hide the sword in a safe place so nobody could find it but she always made sure it was close by in case of any danger.

Once Elizabeth was done training for the day she fell asleep.  She never knew someone was going to find her home and attack. They attacked and she was so startled. She kicked and turned trying to get free but then a sword was held to her neck. 

???: Stop! We will kill you without hesitation.

They tied her up to a tree and a man walked up to her.

Elizabeth:  Who are you? Why are you here?

The man was wearing a fancy uniform and so were the other men. She never knew robbers would wear fancy clothing. The man laughed at her questions and walked away. Then a man on a horse arrived. He wasn't wearing the same outfit as the other men. He wore a much more fancy outfit.

???: Why do you have this woman tied up?

???: She was attacking us making it harder for us.

???: Untie her!

???: Yes sir.

Elizabeth was free and her sword was very close by. She ran for it grabbed her sword and had it out  ready to attack anyone. All the men grabbed their swords too. Elizabeth was scared she might lose but she had a feeling that told her not to be afraid. She had her sword ready to attack anyone who tried to hurt her. She decided to run for it so she could get to the village where she would be safe. She ran through the forest and heard horses behind her. They were going to catch up. She ran into an area that was too small for the horses and ran from there. She got to an opening and saw the village. It was a short distance away. She got to the village and hid. She went into one of the houses that she was allowed in. When Elizabeth peeked out the window and saw the men. She soon realized they were soldiers. The soldiers started to spread out to look for Elizabeth. She knew she was in trouble and had to go. She snuck out a window in the back of the house and went back to her home. She grabbed supplies and decided to go and hide somewhere next to the village. Elizabeth found a few bushes and trees that were close together. They would hide her while she waits. All of a sudden a hand goes over her mouth. She struggles and tries to escape but she can't. The person then ties her hand behind her back with a rope and puts a cloth in her mouth so she cant talk. The man soon reveals himself. He was the man who wore more fancy armor than the soldiers. He was the prince of the kingdom.  The prince then took the Cloth out of her mouth to allow her to speak. Elizabeth was so scared because she didn't expect him to go in the woods. 

Elizabeth: W-What do you want?

Prince: I want to know what you were doing in the woods.

Elizabeth: I live there. You can ask the village.

Prince: Then I will.

He walked with me into the village and asked the villagers if Elizabeth lived in the woods. They said yes and told him she was a survivor from the monsters when they attacked her village. He believed them and cut the rope off of Elizabeth. Elizabeth then saw something in the woods. She started to freak out because they were the monsters that attacked her village.
