The air swirled around her, slightly ruffling her dress. The corset seemed to loosen slightly under the breeze and she silently thanked it. The wind seemed to whistle in return to the quiet appreciation. The trees danced to this tune which in turn played their own music from the ruffle of the leaves. A soft smile soon reached her lips. Her eyes fluttered closed for but a moment. A deep breath could be heard if one listened close enough. Her exhale long and well needed. Rushing waters could be heard throughout her ears nearby. The river in front of her glittered from the sun rays. The crystal water seemed the compliment the scenery inside. Small and large fish twirled and leaped around each other. Different colors all bright enough to catch one's eye. The plant life equally as lively except for the occasional mossy green. Which still fit in quite nicely. The sun heated her skin in a soothing way. The sky seemed brighter than ever before. She cursed herself when her hair would occasionally blow into her face or mouth. Although it was pointless as she would quickly remove it and forget about it seconds later. She took one last breath again before turning to her kingdom. Anxiousness and anxiety filled her being. Her heart pounded loudly and her lungs tightened. Her eyes unsure and her lips pursed. She braced herself as best she could as she took the first step to her certain doom. Every inch closer to the castle made her heart tighten and stomach flip. Each step seemed harder to take than the last. - - - - I do not own the original picture in the cover, but I did edit it for my story! Thanks! Please Enjoy!
