I strode through the hallway of the palace and headed straight to the throne room. “Princess!” My maid called out to me, but I didn't turn, and neither did I spare a glance her way.“Princess!” She hurried towards me. “My princess, your father forbade you from making an appearance today. You know the penalty for defying orders, don't you?” She said before a gasp left her mouth.The sound of a slap can be heard in the otherwise silent hallway as my palm made contact with her cheeks.“Since when did you learn to speak to me, like my mother?” I narrowed my eyes at her.“Forgive me, my princess!” She cried out, taking a step back in fear.“Scurry off, you stinky thing. Let me not see your disgusting face until I'm through."Without a backward glance at her, I continued with my walk, towards the throne room.My tight trousers clung to my body as I walked, and my shirt seemed to be riding up a bit.But I don't care.I'm Princess Star.I fear no one.I'm the terror others fear, and the bane

For an hour or so, things moved in the right fashion. Hunting isn't difficult for me. I only had to use my arrow, once, and it hits the mark.However, the animals I caught were small ones. I needed to catch the bigger ones, so I could flaunt them in front of my stupid brothers, whose faces would have nothing but jealousy on them.“Come on, boy,” I pet Starlight. "Let's go deeper. The predators have gone into hiding. I think we need to seek them out.” Starlight neighed, and off we went. He was faster, and eager, just like I am.*****The deeper we went into the forest, the darker it became, until I was unable to see anything in front of me.“What's going on?” I turned around. Sure enough, in the distance, the sky was bright. However, around here, it was total darkness.“Let's get out of here, Starlight,” I tried to steer the horse towards the place the light was coming from.But he neighed, rose high in the air, and threw me down from his back.I can hear his hooves as he galloped ou

I shakily glanced around the place. My heart was beating miles a minute, and it felt like the organ was about to leap out of my chest. The window opened once more, and banged, just at the same time the thunder rumbled.“Fucking hell!” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I tightly closed my eyes and placed both hands on my ears. The wind picked up, and it seemed like the lightning and thunder were having a contest on who knew how to rumble faster. The golden engravings on the coffin seemed to shine brighter.“What's going on?”I tried to rise from the floor, but I found out I was unable to move. I couldn't even lift a leg.“No, this isn't happening," I I tried once more; however, my attention was called to the black box when I heard an unusual sound.Boom.It was like the sound of the hunting gun my brother bought three days ago. I shrieked some more as the flapping of the window, and the rumbling of thunder accompanied the strange sound that came from the box.The light flickered

I kept on pulling on the ropes binding me to the bed. It was hopeless, I know. However, I wasn't about to give up. “Who's out there? Help me!” I called out, yanking on the rope.I don't know how long I called out or how long I tugged on the rope before the door opened.“Let me go!” I yelled out immediately the door opened. I was expecting to see the creature who tied me to the bed. But instead, I saw a human — a woman.She had her head bowed as she came in.“Help me, please!” I frantically begged her.“I'm here to help you with your bath, my lady," she bowed before she started approaching the bed I was lying on.“Were you also caught? Please, release me. I will get us out of here. All you need to do is get my bow for me.” I pleaded, hoping she would at least look at me. “I'm afraid, I can't be of help to you, miss. I'm only here to help you have your bath as the master requested.” She bowed once more before she proceeded to untie my legs from the bedpost.“Master? Are you serving tha

She locked my legs the moment I finished eating. She had me focus on her, not knowing she intended to lock me back.“What are you doing!” I tried to fight against her hold but found out I couldn't. My body felt weaker than it was before I ate the food.“What did you do to me?” I fell on the bed. “Sleep, you will need it.” She carried the tray from the bed, and smiled, “The master will be back soon.” “What—”I tried to fight the hold of whatever it was she put in my food, but found out I wasn't able to.My eyes closed by themselves, and before long, I was soundly sleeping.**********I woke up to an unfamiliar sound. I slowly opened my eyes. “Who's there?” I tried to rise from the bed, but couldn't. My body feels extremely heavy. “You are finally awake.” The creature walked towards me. He was now putting on an all-black. “What are you doing here? Let me go!” I managed to sit up on the bed.“You want to leave? There is only one way out of here.” He held my jaw in his hand and forc
