All my life, I have never set foot outside the castle's walls.
I was always guarded and carefully watched upon, in fear of not hurting myself, yet... now, looking back in the past, I see the great mistake that was made by doing so.
After that night, I don't remember much of what happened, only screams and the sound of wood burning, as if it were in a fireplace.
Right now, it was silent. No sound, no nothing. Just silence.
I was in a forest, covered from head to toe in fresh blood, I felt it leaking from my hands and face, blood soaking my dress and hair.
For the first time in my life, I didn't wish to return to the castle.

"Why do they call you 'cursed'?"
"Because, there always seem to be two people in control of this body. They call me cursed based on what they already know about me, about my biggest mistake from fifty years ago, the day that I lost my first battle to the newfound evil side of me."
