Missing

The Cursed

I woke up dazed. That was a good sleep. "Anna deary your awake" Jake said coming over and kissing me. I always loved the feeling of his kisses. I could smell the rich rosemary he washes in. "I have decided we shall go on a trip" He announced. "Ooh a trip". I said seductively. A trip was never really traveling but something I liked so much more. "Yep love a trip". I giggled. "Perfect". I lay down my dirty blonde hair spraying out underneath me. The soft bed forming around my curves. The kisses were the same and before I knew more vigorous. It was bliss. Pure bliss. I looked into his yellow eyes and smiled. Such beautiful eyes. "Hey Anna" he whispers and I kiss him. "We are actually gonna go on a trip". I sit upright. "Really?" "Yep". I squeal. A real trip. I have wanted one of those. I run my fingers through his scraggly hair. "Well done".
And hour later I sat in a wagon. He made me sit In the wagon and not on a horse although i can ride a horse just fine on my own. "How you doing up there?" I ask. "Just fine sweetheart" he responds. "Jake I'm getting bored" I whine. he sighs "fine you can ride". We stop and some of his friends helped me down. I get up the horse and we set off. The beat of the horse soothes me. My boredom is immediately diminished. I close my eyes and picture the Queen. In her beautiful white wedding dress that I have always pictures her wearing. I snap out of my daze to remember she's missing. "Anna dear if your gonna ride you have to pay attention" Jake says behind me. It's always Anna. Why is it always Anna? "You know you don't always have to call me Anna right?" I say. "Yes but I really love that name" he says. "Then that what we sha name our first child" I say proudly but jokingly. He laughs. "If you would marry me that is" he respond to my joke. I sigh. At least I'm not forced to marry like Queen Clarissa. I look at the road and stop. In the middle was a fallen tree. I get off the horse and make my way to it. "No Anna you stay in wagon" Jake says. "Jake I can handle myself" I say. I look at the tree and see something odd. A arrow and an axe. I furrow my brow and look at the end of the tree it had been cut down. I hear rustle in the leaves and head towards it. "Anna don't go in the trees" I heard Jake say as his footsteps came towards me. "Oh Jake you are such a worry wart. What's wrong with a little adventure. Let's go!" I say giving his hands a little squeeze and then running into the trees. I heard Jake sigh behind me and say "crazy" but followed me anyways. We climbed through the woods until we found a little camp. "Wha?" "I don't know". I walk over to a tent and look inside and there laying is a boy around 11 years old. "But I think we just found answers". Jake comes and peeks in as well. Slowly I start loosing consciousness. I fall over and I hear Jake panic. "Anna? Anna!" I hear him yell. But that's not my name I think. My name isn't Anna it's Clarissa. I open my eyes and I see the boy and Jame hovering above me. "Anna. Thank god your ok". It's like a daze. My real name slips from my mind and now I am Anna. I rich girl that has a bad past and is trying to forget it. Problem is I don't know what was so bad about it. It's like it never existed. "Jake?" I ask. "And ummm who are you?" I ask the boy. "I'm Drake" he responds. "Huh nice name" I say. They both laugh. I sit up and look around. They had moved me. And I could smell food. "can we eat something?" I ask. Jake laughed and nodded. Jake left and Drake came and sat down beside me. "So Your Majesty nice game your playing here. I look to the side. "I'm not royalty" Drake is taken aback. "Yes yes you are. You were supposed to be married today". "You have the wrong girl!" I yell. "No I don't." Drake said. He is so calm. I flip my dirty blonde hair over my shoulder and leave the tent. I always thought my hair looked spray painted but always shrugged it off. My green dress, signalling my rank flows around my ankles and I walk over to Jake and kiss him. He was a little taken aback but kissed me back anyways. "Jake. Tell me the truth" I whisper. He is startled. "What do you mean Anna?" "My name isn't really Anna is it its Clarissa" I say. He hangs his head. "Yes" he mumbles. "Then why do I think I'm Anna?" I ask. I am very confused now. "I had you cursed by a fairy" he says. He sounds so ashamed. I look at the saddened face and suddenly my past comes back to me. My parents and brother death, the coronation, running away, meeting Drake and running into Jake. I look into his eyes. Those sweet yellow eyes. That I now know I as Clarissa truly adore. "Great! I fell in love with my captor" I yell throwing my arms in the air. "Jake I need to go back. Marry Drandrew" I say. "Bad idea. The kingdom is in turmoil. Drandrew has taken over. Princess Sophie has disappeared" Jake explains. "Sophie is gone!?" I ask. He nods. "I have a plan but you both need to follow it" I say.
"We are going to get caught"
