Won't You Save Me {Prologue& Chapter 1}

The heroic prince swept her off her feet and they rode on his beautiful white steed into the sunset. That's how every story of a princess goes. But for me there is no "Happily ever after".

I am Princess Adona. I am trapped, being held hostage by Lord Carvinan who intends on forcing me to marry him. My father and both of my brothers are fighting diligently to save me. That is the only reason that I have not been put into a hideous white gown and been forced down that dreaded aisle to have to kiss that horrible tyrant.

I sit myself down on the tough cot that they expect me to sleep in, open my small burlap sack and look at the small amout of food that has been packed for my meal. An apple, a loaf of bread, some cheese, and a turnip. I frown at the food and pick up the apple, it's soft in my hand and I can tell it's rotten, I stand up and go to the tall metal door, I look through the bars of the cell and look at the gaurd who is standing beside the door. I toss the apple in the air and catch it a couple of times before I take my aim and throw the apple at the guard's head. It explodes all over his armor. He spins around and I can clearly see that he's not very happy.

"What are you doing?" He asks bringing his eye brows together. For some reason he wasn't wearing a helment.

"I wan't food and not food that will poison me!" I glare at him and toss my golden hair behind my shoulders. He studdies me for a moment and calls over another guard, who leaves and soon comes back with a silver platter. I smile and back away from the door to let them in. The first guard walks in with the tray and I watch the other leave.

The first guard I can see now is not much older than me maybe 18 at the most. He sets the tray on the small table in my cell and walks out. I scurry over to eat and as I open the lid off the tray my nose is filled with a horrifying smell. I whip the lid off and stare in horror at the garbage that lays on the tray. A rotten banana peel, a tin can, sour milk, and a ton of rotten cabbage. I close my eyes, the smells filling the room are horrifying. I quickly slam the lid on the tray and screem as loud as I can. "This is not happening" I think,to myself, "How could this have happened?"

It was only two days ago that I celebrated my 15th birthday. That was when they took me. I had blown out the candles on my cake. everything was going the way I planned. until the lights went out. I tried to make my way twards the staires wear my body guards were watching from, but I couldn't see anything.I heard screems all around and that only mad my run faster in the stairways general direction. I soon felt a strong arm go around my waist. I tried to screem but a hand covered my mouth. I was kicking and squirming like a mad man. Then I felt a sharp pain on my temple.

I don't remember anything past that. Everything went black. When I woke up I was here lying on my stomache on this stupid cot. My back ached horribly, and my head had a horrible throbbing pain. I looked around me to see it was dark. I was still in my gown but it was tattered and dusty. I cried my self back to sleep that night.
