It all started in December year 4002, it was a month before I was born my family knew before I was born they couldn't keep me. We lived in a really poor village, it was falling apart all kids that are born were sent to ships and put on there till they die. This town is known as "the town of broken soles" because there were are no happy endings here if you live there you are sad its just like the dark ages. My parents knew that they would be caught when they had me so they made a plan to send me with Dawson, to the nearest village. 

The time went fast and before my parents knew it I was born my dad had packed up Dawson and he was ready for the trip.  My mom had loaded me on to the saddle with money clothes and a letter on top of Dawson and they kissed me goodbye and sent him off to the next village. the next village was a good 3 days ride to the nearest one and with out food, water or sleep is good for no human or animal. Time was passing it came to night fall and Dawson decided to take a rest he made sure that he laid down very carefully because he didn't want to hurt me, he was the most gentile horse that I could have had. After a few hours and a man came galloping through the forest when he came across Dawson laying beside a tree with a very small child, he was surprised such a small child that he jumped off his horse to check if he was okay. As he walked over to Dawson he was startled and jumped to his hoofs and protected me. The man calmed down Dawson, and brought him and I to his village. This village was much nicer then where the village we came from. When we arrive to the mans home the man brought us to the barn and made sure that Dawson was comfortable. After he knew Dawson was comfortable he took me into the house to his wife. When his wife saw me they couldn't let me go on my own so they took me in, they gave me a wonderful home, food, water and clothes. they hadn't seen the letter or the money because it was too late. I loved living here for years, even though I have never met my birth parents and spent my life with people that just picked me up from the forest with Dawson. 

"What are we going to name her Henry" Grace asks 

"RUBY!" Grace and Henry said in excite 

My name was Ruby Weston, I was born January 20th 4003. When I arrived to Mr and Mrs Weston's, house they were so happy because they couldn't have children and raised me like their own. Time had passed very fast I grew up I rode Dawson everyday and it was almost my 16th birthday it was two days away. 

Grace and Henry needed to tell her that in this village there was one thing that was bad, that was when the daughter of selected families becomes of age they are to be maids in the castle and the other girls that are selected they are sent away on a boat and it never returns home. They knew it was time to  tell Ruby.

"Ruby we need to tell you something" Grace and Henry said

"Whats wrong?" I ask.

"There are 2 things coming up that are big, both your birthday and you will be taken from us and have a chance to be chosen to go to the castle to be a maid." Henry says

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Why are we one of the families chosen?" I asked

 "We were chosen because you were found and you're not our child." Grace informed me

"What if I'm not chosen to be a maid at the castle? What happens to me?" 

"We are not sure." "But lets not worry about this now you still have two days with us, let celebrate you party now." My dad, Henry told me.

I try to find the time to be happy about my birthday. I was happy I was becoming older and about the chance to go to the castle but the fact that if I'm not chosen to go to the castle and someone else is chosen then I will never see my family again. I have already been one taken away from me, I don't want to loose another one. 

The two days went past fast for more then just Ruby's life the Princes also had a hard time too they were also turning 16. There were four Princes their names were, Archie he was 20, there was Jughead and he was 19, then there were the twins they were turning 16.
