T A E Y E O N

"Agh!" I groaned as the guards of the king beaten me like  pulp. "Take that, you thief!" She kicked me in my stomach and the other one smacked me with a wooden rod. Blood were all over me and my sight were hazy, eventually the guards stops beating me and locked me in my cell.

I want to run away...

I want to run away with Sooyeon...

A low class maid came by in the same night she brought foods with her, "Taeyeon." I heard the maid named Sooyoung. She offered me a half of the bread and I ate it, "Thank you, Sooyoung." I smiled while eating it.

"If only I could brought you a key, you can escape from here." She muttered. "You do not have to do that, I am ready to die, Sooyoung. You do not have to put your life on your risk, you must survive here. Think about your close friend... Her name is Yoona, nae?"

She quietly nodded, "Then, leave. Pretend like we do not have conversation like this." I said and then she nodded again before leaving the prison.

Then someone went inside the prison and I looked up who is the person who entered the stinking prison. It was Sooyeon.

I quickly sat up from the ground and hold on to the bars, "Sooyeon-ah!" I called out her name but she only hold on to my hands tightly while crying while smiling. "I... I am sorry, Taeyeon-ah."

I tried to smile even though my cheeks were swollen, "Do not be sorry, it is my fault. I should deserve this death, but my love for you will never change."

The Princess touched my face and I held her hand, "But I put you into this, Taeyeon-ah." she said while still sobbing. "No. No, it's me who have committed a lot of sin against your father's law. Not you, my Princess." I said, still smiling.

"I want for you is to live a life you deserve, not this life of being in the grasp of your father. I will be waiting for you in the afterlife, Sooyeon-ah. Because the afterlife is the place where you can live with me without evil."

She nodded and slowly kissed me even though my lips were swollen. "I will be waiting, Taeyeon-ah." She smiled on me. But I didn't knew it will be the last time she smile on me...

"NO!" I shouted while I'm in struggling to break free from the ropes that bound around my body.

In my very own eyes, I saw the Princess...

Hanged in the gallows...

By her own father...

"How pitiful." The king said before walking closer to me. I glared at him, I never felt this devastated and mad. I cannot believe it, how can he even kill his own daughter?

"You are the reason why she had to do it." he said further. "You are now to blame my daughter's death." then he turned his feet away from me.

"How could you...? How could you do that to her?" I gritted my teeth and I felt my inner self has been unleashed inside me. I successfully cut the ropes from my hands and run to him, "YOU MONSTER!" I screamed as I was going to attack him.

"Fire!"

I felt a stab on my back, then it follows the tens of arrows on my back before I fell down. My eyes were looking at the king's direction before I took my last breath...

My anger and vengeance of my inner self have been awakened. I felt my body changed drastically, I felt my wounds starts healing rapidly and then I slowly stood up.
