The Lost Royal

"Mama!" I cried as I ran thru the village. Running to my house I have lived in since I could remember. But this time, it wasn't a stroll thru town. I was running, smoke bellowing out of every house I passed.

"Mama!" I cried out again, turning the last corner, finally able to see my house.

Only to see it burning.

I screamed and ran to the door, praying Ma had gotten out safely. Just as I reached the door, a body slammed into me. I gasped as I fell, only to be jerked up again.

"Come on we have to get out of here"

I looked up in shock, Mathew?

I shook my head, "I can't, Mama-"

"She's dead Clarissa, we have to go."

And just like that my world froze.

Clarissa knows she's different, the way every villager avoids her, the way people stare at her only to turn their head the other way when Clarissa would turn their way.

But she never dreamed she was the lost Royal, raised in an isolated villager to keep her protected until she became of age to lead the Kingdom.

But until then, she's on the run with a Mathew, a cold hard man who has finally found his match. Clarissa.

With Mathew knowing her past better than she does, and Clarissa playing a game to see how much Mathew can take if her smart mouth.

Follow along in this adventure to see what their path reveals.
