"Princess wake up why aren't you dressed? You have lessons your father is going to be so angry." I roll over in bed to look at the maid with eyes so blurry from lack of sleep from my late nights out.
"Stop being a worry wart just leave I'll be there soon tell my dad I wasn't feeling to good." She walks out like she was about to walk though the blazeing fires of hell which I could not blame her. Every moring brought the same agony of being bored trapped behind walls bulit to keep me in or to keep people out honestly I don't know anymore. In the end I really didnt know anymore. My father the king always says the world is a dark place to go in to as a young child and yet I thought it was such a scary place until I broke the wall. As I got up to get ready I had the flash back of the frist night I go out I was only 18 it was past midnight so everyone was asleep by now and as always I couldn't sleep so after laying in bed for hours I went out side on the balcony to get some fresh air. I saw the lights of the city teasing me as i watched so badly wishing I could leave this cage. It might have lace and dimonds and pretty walls but what is that if all you want is freesom trapped with in walls always feeling as they are closeing in around you buliding up walls around your heart so you don't break when your asked if you are ok. I decided to go put on jeans and a tee shirt and I put my hair up and put a hat on and climbed down out of my cage. I finally found a tree just reaching over the wall so I climded has quickly as I could not scared not worried just free. I reached the tip of the tree and the wall and I jumped and it felt like I was flying finally free from the corset tight dresses and high heels just a normal person. I landed on my feet and ran for the city when I got there the lights blinded me like a world unseen before not trapped behind walls but free so I go anywhere try anything. My frist view was of a boy around my age it seemed he was walking all alone seem to be thinking about something. He was so sweet looking bright green eyes black hair which made his eyes seem like they glow not really going anywhere just walking. Like he had all the time in the world not trapped but free or so it seemed. I watched him until he turnned a cornor and all I wanted to do was follow and watch him see where he went then my life happend. I got grabbed from behind with a knife to my thorat and the smell of achol swilred around me as he wispered in my ear "Do as I say little girl and no one will ended up hurt" I froze all though my dad thinks the world was evil he did make me take self defense classes just in case. I was short for my age so I looked younger which was normal so I put all my weight in to my foot and stomped on his as he screamed I bit his arm hard enought for him to drop the knife at the same time. I kicked the knife away and he came at me with his huge body I ducked as he swang. I ran around the cornor about twenty feet away and ran in to the boy and I looked up at his green eyes the I heard the other mens foot steps and ran. Those eyes are in my dreams every night since and as for the guy he got tired quickly, I'm small but fast. That was my first night of freedom the frist time I saw the boy and I see him every night since. I watch over him at night as I fight robbers, muggers, and all the evil my dad talks about I won't let my kingdom be destoryed by these people who think its ok to kill to steal and no one doing anything about it. cops being paid off lies being believe such a pitfuly place to be but I am going to make this place beautiful again.
That day was the frist time in a long time I felt like I was ok even if I did almost die I also found such a free soul in such a dark night. Back to today I'm now 20. I finshed getting dressed I look down at my hands all scrapped from clibing the wall and tree. She thought god I need goves I think as I open my door. I walked down the stair case as my father started to walk up it. "Lilah I was just about to come see if you were ok. Do you have a fever you aren't sick are you I am getting a little worried you sleep so much and you seem to always still be so tired." I smiled slightly and giggled" Oh father you worry to much I am ok just been tired my nights aren't always well I haven't been sleeping to well I am sorry to worry you father but I promise I am ok and I love you always." I gave him a hug as I walked past him and I could see the worry in his eyes as he huged me and said "Love you too my little night light." Those words eachoed in my ears as I entered the dinning room for breakfast before lessons. My dad was always so worried built that wall after mom died I was only 3 at the time. My mom had picked my name Lilah Ellie and it meant night light my mom loved the night just as much as the day my name was the best of both. All I can recall are her eyes like mine and her voice as she sung lullbys too me as I fell asleep. My dad loved her so much I see it in his eyes everytime he looks in to my eyes he sees my mom so scared to lose me in the same way he lost her one day she was ok then the next she was gone. In my eyes thats what happend but I was always told this was happening for months but why did it happen so quickly because my gentle father took the pain away. One day he was so sad I saw him cring so I put my tiny arms around him "Daddy are you ok?" He just look at me and tried to explain mommy was up above in a better place with no more pain. I think that was the day I bulit my walls I had to be my dad's rock now. shortly after the walls around our castle was built as well. I sat down as cearl was put in front of me I looked at the servent and got up and head to the kitchen. The chef looked at me "Are you not going to eat princess?" I looked at her and laugahed. "Oh my sweet little flower I am going to eat and it going to be amazing and we will both make it" she looked at me shocked but smiled it had been a while since we cooked together. She got out the pans as I danced around getting things out to cook eggs baccon I was my fathers daugther toast and jelly and garllic poweder a bit of peper, milk and onion powder. She just looked at me with a raised eye brow "New taste?" We chatted as we cooked and after I was so bored finally night came around again I was up. I put on my out fit and left the castle to start my rounds I went to cheack on the boy as I did everynight since I saw him the frist time. He was leaveing his hourse as I approached the buliding across from his home he seem to sense me so he looked up and I hid then I saw a slight smile slip across his lips. Those lovely lips that I would one day claim as mine. I heard a yelp like a animal being kicked but when I got there it was no animal it was a little child left in an alley I wrappped him up took him to a store called the ambulance and told the lady to stay him and to keep him warm I was going after the bastart who did this. I coud smell the blood of the boy mixed with alcohol that I knew so well. I saw him a few alleys away he was bigger then I recalled but no one hurts a child and leaves them for dead.I jumped down and kicked him in the back in to a brick wall. "Your going to fight with kids you sick basted try me on for size." He turnned and lunged at me not much had changed, I took him down as I walked away he grabbed a meatel pole and ran at me. I didn't turn quick enough before he hit me in the ribs. I doubled over he hits my back and I fell the the gound. Then he kicks me over and over and then I black out. I came to with bright green eyes looking at me and shaggy dark hair hanging as he looked at me the eyes from my dream. He was talking and I was barely replying then he was carrying me I was not sure where I barely knew what was going on before I was lost to the darkness again but I swear I will get the Basrard one day just not today sadly.
