'Tap tap tap tap...' hurried footsteps were approaching the door. An almost unbearable voice got to the ears of Lady Elizabeth, "My Lady were is that you are heading to?". She didn't answer her Butler, she just ran away into the woods.
When Lady Elizabeth was 7, her Brother, Sir Elias, was 15 years old and started sexually abusing her. Sir Elias married at the age of 18 but he continued abusing his sister and threatened her to kill her if she mentioned it to someone. 10 years have passed since then and Lady Elizabeth decided to escape from the demon that haunts her everyday.
Lady Elizabeth ran desperately in case anyone were to follow her. She slowed down once she realized no one was following her. She sighed in relieve. She sat down near a lake, the sun was going down. The sky soon turned pitch black, the only source of light was owned by the great moon that rested upon her. Finally, between sobs and tears, she fell asleep.
Beautiful, crimson hair emerged from the waters, when this peculiar being turned, a girl of sea coloured skin, golden eyes and lengthy hair appeared. An immeasurable beauty was found in just a single being. She reached the shore in which Lady Elizabeth was resting, she got out of the water and sat beside her. She stared at the water and then at Lady Elizabeth. After some time she stood up and went into the forest, merging with the dark colors of nature.
She came back with flower crown on her hands, the rays of the moon hitted the flowers, pink camellias glowed with the help of the moon.
The girl walked towards, the still sleeping, Lady Elizabeth. She sat again besides her but this time she moved the Lady's head into her lap and placed the delicate crown on the sleeping beauty's head.
She placed the Lady's head back in the ground, stood up and disappeared in the water
