I kept running even though I felt my lungs giving out, why were they after me, what crime had I committed. They looked like they wanted to kill me, but I thought the king's guards were good. so why were they after an innocent person. these questions raced through my mind back and forth until I tripped ouch! I tried to get up but I couldn't, I guess I had twisted my ankle. I groaned as I tried to get up. all of a sudden I heard someone say "look we found her"!. no! no! no! they couldn't have found me just yet. I was snapped back to reality when a guard put a handcuff on my wrist. the other guards dragged me mercilessly back to the palace. looking so battered with torn clothes and with eyes that looked so lost and confused I stood in front of the ruthless prince who everyone was afraid of but surprisingly I didn't even flinch I stared right into his eyes with a dead pan face, what was so scary about this guy that made everyone cower in fear....
