My Name Is Lena

Normally, I would be sprinting down the halls, relentlessly. Right now isn't much different, other than the fact I'm calling for him, as well. He only spared me because I'm the aire of the throne. The only problems I have with this however, is that Ally's at stake. All because my parents can't give me the throne until I'm nineteen, which isn't until very soon. I tried to keep my thoughts calm as I opened my parents room's door. Nothing was inside, no trap doors, nothing. I became impatient and very angry as I stepped into one of the many corridors.

"Excuse me?! Where are you holding my girlfriend?!" I screamed, my voice echoing throughout the long corridor, so basically throughout the whole kingdom. Nothing. I became much more angered by this, however. I started screaming about how this isn't fair and that I'm an Atheist so all that sinning stuff doesn't really affect me. But still, they didn't say or do anything. I dropped onto the ground, crying. I failed her, and miserably too. All these clouded thoughts stung, and they hurt badly. My heart ached and my head hurt, unlike my body's numbness feeling. I started shaking as I sobbed on the floor, on my elbows and my knees. My head was touching the ground, but my stomach wasn't. I normally wouldn't do this, as it seems spoiled, but they took a person. A person I loved. They took her away all because she wasn't a guy, and she wasn't rich enough to be at my economic level. I felt only numbness as I continued crying on the floor, and the only thing I was saying was "Ally.. Come back.." over and over again. The anger had worn off, and know I was just depressed. I was still sobbing until I felt something pull me up by the back of my shirt.

"I thought I told you to take the peasant's clothing off?" I looked at the familiar features, with sadness in my eyes. It was my father, of course.

"I thought I told you to leave her alone?" I repeated, and he dropped me once again. My father was a tall man, so the drop wasn't a small one, nor a big one at the same time.

"Evangelina. Listen to me for once."

"But I can't." I told him, as I stood up. "Because everything you believe in goes against what I do."
