They say her voice was once bewitching to all who heard it. She was like a siren luring sailors to their deaths on quiet nights...

Those are just rumours that once were, truth be told the youngest daughter of the Count was a mute. Her voice had long been lost in her childhood years, disappearing like a whisper in the wind soon to be forgotten.

The Favorite Princess [Completed] by offroadgirl

My name is Princess Annebelle Kinston. My mom and dad rule this kingdom. My brother is to be the next ruler and my sister after him. No one likes them except me. Everyone favors me but I'm the youngest. At age 16, my sister was murdered by assassins. I was in the same room as her but they just left me alone. As if they didn't see me. When I turned 17, my brother Alexon was poisoned and is still slowly dieing a year later. I was never expected to actually rule the kingdom , Kingdom of Aldron, let alone be their favorite princess. Heck, I never learned the things to rule if that helps the case. As I find out how to help my kingdom I find a few friends, make a few enemies, and find out the truth to my past that made all this become real. "You're everyone's favorite." He sneers. "But I don't see a reason why! Show me Annebelle. Why are you everyone's favorite princess when you don't even know how to act like one?" I freeze. "Well at least I know what I'm worth unlike you!" I retort. *Needs Major Editing*

Oh sweetheart," he tucks my hair behind my ear, I close my eyes focusing on his touch, it almost feels uncomfortable now. "No matter how bad you are, I will always be worse."

Unheard Whispers by _Conteur_

"You aren't a distraction. You can never be you know" he said looking at me with enamoured eyes. "What makes you think so? " I asked. "You are just too attractive to be a mere distraction" he said. "That's because you haven't seen my ugly inner demons." "Then what do you think you are? " his voice grows curious. "I don't know, maybe a distraction for the someone who is already attracted to something else." my voice becomes emotionless. So, what if she's a Royal when in reality she has no family to rely on. The high magnificent walls of the palace hides such truths that none could expect, and she is now hell bent to uncover those, for these are the truths that have made her life so miserable. And what happens if those who once did so wrong to her are now back to ask forgiveness and a place in her life. And now with a new identity she is back to take her rights and take account & punish everyone who have wronged her.

Sitting on the bed, I was waiting for my husband to arrive. It was our wedding Night. I rolled my toes as the visuals of him slowly touching my cheeks, making love to me was blurring my vision again and again.

I sucked on my lips as my throat turned dry. Even my cries didn't have any voice. I moved my fingers to signal him that I was mute, a voiceless princess.

The Taukiri Chronicles Vol 1 by StaceyEHaught

The Before. There was a time before, a time of a great war, a time there were two kingdoms. War rampaged on the heels of jealousy bred by men's contemptuous hate and fueled by their desire to take what wasn't theirs. Two Kings fought wanting what the other had, holding the Bythe's fire at the tip of his knife The King of the South snuffed it out stealing with him the Jewel of the north. I am Bellary. I live with the tales of the before filling my dreams, and ringing in my ears, I am known as the Silent Princess of Loch. My voice was taken from me by force, an assassination failed. Left with the scars of my abusers to remind me and everyone daily. Haunted by nightmares, and faceless voices calling out to me I hide away in the walls of the castle, under the excuse that it's for my protection under the rule of my neurotic father and overprotective brother I have never tasted freedom. My father's constant fear that the men attacked me would be back to finish the job. I was insecure, maimed, and riddled with shame. The itch in my brain that I was missing something buzzed in my brain, there was a fire in my veins that called to be lit. With no words to speak I filled the void with the written word, I devoured the written word like a lioness hunting prey, and studying languages became my lover and I worshiped them passionately. Being a walking ghost among my kingdom, I heard words drifting on the wind, dripping from the walls and floating off of people like a permeating perfume. They were whispering warnings, the north was awakening, the north was angry, the north was coming. The north was seeking, the north was calling Ophelia home.

Into The Arms of Dusk by EctoplasmFountain

November nights are especially stricken with melancholy, as if the ghosts of all winter past come rushing to haunt her heart. She was a captive of her love, her desire, and her dreams. There's always a special quality to the loneliness of dusk, a sorrowness more infectious than the night. She had earned his trust. She had never strayed, betrayed, abandoned. She'd been stalwart, true, loving. To her, he was her everything. But to him, she was only a secret. He was a prince and she was merely his lover. • Dismount your high horse. come take claim of the girl you ruined. Come lay eyes upon the desolation you left in your wake. Do you not hear the devil at your shoulder sharpening his daggers? He sits heavy on your subconscious. Dauntingly smirking at me from afar. Enough of his wretched sins, speak to me with your eyes and perhaps somewhere, some day, at less miserable times, we may repent. In the arms of dusk.

Cara Lugo [Complete] by Infernalfairytail

Defiance. Resilience. Those are the traits that are not appreciated from the lower class. Keep you head down, keep quiet, and do your job. That was all that was expected and wanted from you. But what happens when one very quiet rebellion, and one very loud one, come together? Unlikely allies band together, which leads to a chain of events that no one has anticipated. One small action, that's all it takes. A/N: This story is partly fantasy. Nothing supernatural introduced, but it was all created in my mind and has no link to any time in history in particular. Also, this story was inspired by a story I wrote as a young child (8-10) and I was seemingly incredibly morbid at that age (of course altered and expanded, as my idea was rather simplistic).

In His Command by PreyDelaCruz

In the heart of a forest, a mansion tested over time could be found. Long ago, it was said that a Prince had resided there, together with his ten loyal servants. History had it, that after winning a combat against his kingdom’s greatest enemy, he fell into a deep slumber. His servants waited, waited and waited, for the day to come that he would rise again. They waited for months, years, decades and centuries, until they had lost count. It came to the point that they hadn’t left their master’s room at all, until they fell out of consciousness and followed him to wherever he was. Thousands and thousands of years had gone by. Yet again, the Prince and his servants’ story had passed on to every generation. The mansion was locked from the inside by an unknown force, not letting anyone invade the territory. But it was believed that if one got near and listened intently… Voices could be heard. Laughter and joyous conversations echoed. Shadows were marked. Sets of eyes were seeing. Watching. Observing. Waiting.
