"Let me go!" A female voice raged as she tried struggling from her shackles. The pain caused by the shackles surging through her from her wrist wasn't as much the thought of her family, her Kingdom whom she was forced to leave behind.

"Easy does it missy." One of her captors snickered as he toyed with the shackles on her wrists pulling her forward against her will. "Aren't you a feisty one, Your Highness?"

"Could you at least tell me where you're taking me?" She tried evaluating her surroundings, but all she saw were nothing but trees and more trees.

"Should we tell her?" Another announced to the others with a grin, amusement clearly written on his face.

"The boss might not be pleased." Another replied. "Let's carry out our one simple task and have our heads intact, as a matter of fact, I think I would prefer having my head intact if you guys don't want to." He shook his head at the foolishness of his comrade.

"I'd like to keep my head also." They all replied in unison as they held their necks, gulping down hard.

°Here is my chance to make a run for it° She thought as the grip on her shackles loosened drastically as he was temporarily distracted by the thought of losing his head.

°Take careful steps° she thought as she backed away as stealthy as possible, once out of their sight, she pulled the tailing shackles into her hands as she made a run for it.

"Hey where did she go?" She could hear one of her captors yell at a distance, it sounded more like the one who had held her shackles earlier.

°Lets see how long you all plan on keeping those heads° She thought as she let out a chuckle. Running with all she could muster, looking back frequently for any sign of her captors on her trail.

"Hey Princess! Where do you think you're heading?" She looked towards who had said that, an ill sickening feeling overcame her, then came darkness.

°Not again! if these shackles weren't in my wa-° the darkness clouding her vision.
