Angst.There was once a princess. She was born mute and not to mention young of age of sixteen but that didn't matter to her. Everyone in town knew of her as the kindest Royal in all the land. The Town folks would give her offerings like flowers or letters as a thank you for her kindness. she was so ever happy to have such nice people. Even the people of the town said she would make a great Queen. They didn't care she was mute, they all knew she meant everything she did. It didn't matter she couldn't talk they all could tell what she meant even without words. But that all changed when a group of assassins broke into the Royal castle stealing thousands of jewels and tokens, but they stole the most valuable thing. the princess herself. Years had gone by and they still searched for the missing princess. Her parents were devastated as for the town folks were saddened for the princesses disappearance. After 8 years of the the constant sorrow, the princess was finally found! And the assassins were imprisoned. Everyone was thrilled to finally find there missing piece but, they soon figured out the princess was different "what have they done to her" the Town folks would whisper to each other. This princess was no longer the kind and gentle princess they all knew and loved. This princess was heartless and cruel, she didn't care about anyone but herself. They never once saw her smile after the incident, she would just frown. The mute princess was just that, mute. Even if she couldn't speak she would just glare at you and you could tell what she was thinking. While most of the time it was negative or so they thought. They could sometimes see the sorrow in her eyes, but no one knew why? "maybe she's cursed" one of the Town folks whispered. "or maybe she's possessed!" The whispering began to spread through the town and lots of them believe the so called "rumors" the sad part was her parents did nothing to stop it. And so one day, the princess stopped coming to the town. She stopped her daily walk around, stopped coming by her favorite places, she just stopped all together. They often questioned it but they wouldn't make it known. They would continue to whisper. "Maybe she went missing again?" again. "what if they caged her like an animal?" And again. "I'd say she simply died.." no one was fazed at all, it's as if they completely forgot about the princess all together. After all it wasn't truly there princess to worry about, there princess was the kind princess not this cruel one. After everything was said and done, the princess was never found. And so a new princess was born. She was born mute and she was just turning sixteen. She was a kind and gentle princess. Everyone in town knew of her as the kindest Royal in all the land. "Wait, isn't that odd?" One of the Town folks said openly. "What do you suppose you mean?" Another said back. "isn't it not odd all the traits of are old princess had now on this one?" They all gasped in disgust. "how dare you compare our new soon-to-be queen as that heartless princess!" They all shook their heads. "this princess is far greater, why don't you get away from the past and look at the present." Everyone nodded in agreement and continued their everyday lives. Every time the princess would walk by, the town folks would give her offering like flowers or letters for her kindness. She would smile at them but behind her innocent eyes the town folks could see clear as day the old princesses cruel glare. All the town folks gasped! They all whispered out loud. "she's a witch." again. "She's a sin!" And again.. "she should burn!" And there they set a trial. And everyone agreed the princess should go up in flames. With everyones help, they all together tied up the princess to a tall pole about 6 inches up with hay and sticks underneath her and lit it on fire. She was surprised her parents did nothing to stop it as they all watched blankley as the princess tried getting out of her tightropes around her wrist to the point her wrist were becoming bruised. she keep giving everyone a pleading look trying everything in her power to convince someone this wasn't the way to settle this but not a single person helped. They all just watched as they continued to whisper at her. "You're just a clone" again. "you'll be just like her" and again. "Hell is where you should go." She just silently cried as the fire grew and grew and soon her body was touched by the flame. She cried more and more trying to get away from the fire but it just made the fire grow larger as her slow but painful death ended her life that fateful day. Burning her to a crisp but not a word was heard from her. After all she was the mute princess, nothing but that, mute. then, silence was heard in the town. After the whole incident not another princess was born untill after years go by and a princess was born. She was born mute, and just turning sixteen..
