The Princess and The Beast

"Mommy I'm not tired! I want to go play outside with da knight!" I whine.

"Elisabeta" my mother warns.

"But mommy-"

"It's a far much larger world than you understand my child. There are beings hidden amongst the shadows, creatures you have yet to know exist. So stay behind these walls and don't venture out in the forest at night for it's their feeding grounds and they shall show no mercy even for a little girl like you" and then she left carrying my little brother out of my room.

I pull the covers up to my chest as I lay down and close my eyes but I couldn't fall asleep my little kid mind was determined, one day I will find the knight. One day.
