Every night that followed, the villagers would hear screams coming from the castle until one day the King jumped from his room on the top floor to his death. On that day the queen wore a black dress and her child did as well. They had no emotion. They got in a carriage and put the toy chest inside with it. They headed towards the ocean. The queen waded in the water and threw the chest out at sea. She went back to the carriage and grabbed the child. The child just stared at her mother and the mother at the child. The queen went back in the water and laid the child down in it to drown. The child didn't struggle a bit. Just stared into the distance and then died. The queen headed back but didnt go in the carriage. She took the horse and road away deep into the forest where no one ever found her.

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."
