The Untold Sacrifice

• 4 hours ago....

An unbelievable scenario of seven suitors who want to marry me because I'm a queen! What!

Four hours ago:

"Alisha hurry up! We need to close the bakery so we can make it for the Flame Lights!"

"I'm almost done Crystal." I said

"Well you taking too long move over!" she said and quickly puts the cupcakes into the box and runs outside

"Becareful!" I said

"I'm fine. Now hurry up!" she said shouting from the other end

"Ok I'm coming!" I said rushing to the door and locking it

"Finally! Done for the day and we can eat all these cupcakes!" Crystal said in excitement

"More like you will eat them." I said in sarcasm

"Hey! You can't blame a girl for eating too much when it's so delicious and yummy that you can't resist it." she said

I shake my head to the hilarious comment.

Heading down to the house across the street we come across an old lady. She doesn't look like she was from around here. Her aura just doesn't seem right.

"Alisha what's taking so long?" said Crystal

"Uh...nothing I'm coming why don't you go on." I said

"Okay!" Crystal said

I search for the old lady across the road but there is no sign of her. I guess it was just me imagining. ( Or was it )

"Alisha do you know that there is this story going around town." said Crystal

"What story?"

"It's about the seven suitors!" she said

"What about them?" I ask

"Don't tell me you don't know them?" said Crystal

"I don't" I said

"Arggghh why do I have a friend like you?" she said while facepalming

"I think it's the other way around." I said raising an eyebrow

"Fine fine I'll tell you... So many years ago there was a beautiful princess who did good to her people and always had a kinded and loving heart. She would always help children and the elderly in her kingdom. Her parents the King and Queen were so proud of her and couldn't wait to hand over the kingdom to her trustful hands. Until a very bad curse came into the kingdom,many people got sick and we're dying. The King and Queen couldn't find any explanation for the cause of it. They didn't want the princess to get cursed by this famine so they sent her to a far away land to protect her. Of course she didn't want to leave the ones she loved behind but she had no choice as her parents ordered Liam her trustful knight to take her away. At that far away land there was an elderly man who took care of her while Liam left to return to the famine kingdom. During her stay she was introduced to seven suitors who were princes of other foreign countries. They were indeed rude and mean at first but slowly they feel in love with her. But the problem was that only one of them would get chosen to marry her. Hearing this the princess could not bear this and ran away. The seven suitors searched everywhere for her but never found her. It is said that they still search for her but nothing has changed over those years." said Crystal

"So they are still in search for her?" I asked

"Yes"

"But how can that be? That happened years ago they are dead!" I said

" It's an old legend that just had been going on. It could be false or it could be true.... Who knows what is what until we see it with our own eyes." said Crystal while munching on a cupcake

"Hmmm... So it's an old legend.... Seven suitors....one princess..."

" Don't stress upon it. I feel that it's just something that is from the movies and someone just wants to gain everyone's attention."

"I don't know Crystal something tells me that this is true." I said

With a quick flash lightening the lights turn off leaving the room in darkness.

"What was that?" Crystal said

"I'm not sure. Crystal.... Crystal! Where are you? Crystal are you okay?" I panicky asked

To find Crystal I look for the nearest light switch. As I turn it on and turn around I'm shocked to see the scene in front of me.
