I woke up alone. I know I should be used to it by now but ,how can you ever get used to waking up and knowing there is no one around you for miles. I spend my days having pretend conversations and going through the logs left for me. The logs are standard princess etiquette and other education type lessons. They are the only time I hear someone’s voice other than my own. There are times when I have given up and I think that no one will ever come for me, but I have to keep thinking positive. This place is not forever it’s just one stop on my soon to be epic journey... I hope.
My day goes as normal lessons imaginary conversations and now me staring at the celling imagining what the universe is like. The air is still and my shuttle is quiet and colorless and claustrophobic as always.
Then something unusual happens I hear a clanking outside of the door. I jump up with fright and grab the sleek metallic chair in the other side of the room ,there are two different possibilities right now. This could be the savior I have been waiting for ,a guard to tell me the war is over that I am safe and can go and see my family again. Or it could be a criminal trying to kill me or ,kidnap me and use me as leverage against my family. I shakily lift my chair prepared for the worst. Yet some part if me is exited finally something happens. My thoughts are cut off by the door opening.
There stands a young man he is handsome ,I think, I don’t have much comparison His hair is light brown color and his eyes very green he has a crooked kind of smirk the kind that seems charming but dangerous. I hold the chair as threatening as I can manage although my legs and arms are shaking with fear or excitement I can’t tell.
"Who are you?" My voice comes out squeakier than I meant to I curse my brain I sound so much better by myself.
"Slow down there tiger I am here to help just put down the chair and we can like civilized people, alright?" He flashes me a grin and looks very amused with himself I can tell he isn’t intimidated by me , which is a mistake.
"Are you a guard from my kingdom is the war over?" I let to much hope slip into my voice. I try to compose my self while still looking threatening.
" what kingdom?" He looks genuinely confused, but I am unsure of his acting skill.
"The Kythian Kingdom." A lump starts to rise in my throat could they really be gone?
He furrows his eyebrows."That kingdom has been gone for years.....your the lost princess?"
"G..gone. LIAR!" I spit out violently it’s not true it can’t be true. My mind is racing with so many possibilities he has to be lying. He is trying to trick me. "LIAR!" I yell again this time swinging the chair I miss and it throws me off balance I quickly regain my balance and strike again hitting him in the head this time.
" hey chill I am trying to help yo.."
I cut him off with another swing to the ribs this time.
"That’s it!" He pulls out a gun and shoots me straight in the neck. I feel a sharp pain and then my world goes dark.
