The Running Princess

A Story by Writing Angel

1942

Once upon a time there was a royal family which consists of 3 people. One was the amazing mother and loving majesty; Queen Catharine. She was a kind mothering queen to the land of Bialya. Along her side ruled her loving husband King James whom was a wise and noble man to his country no matter the dangers he always used his mind before his action which made him a noble king. And last but not least was princess Rosaline. She was a beautiful special young child. She was smart and brave and was one of the best hunters with a bow and arrow in the land.

One day while the whole land was asleep the enemies attacked. They broke the gates slaughtered the gatemen and quietly made their way to the castle by which raised a high alerting alarm. Queen Catherine raced to see her daughter for only she knew this day would come. She raced in her daughter’s room and gave her a green amulet and told her to run as she rushed Rosaline to the secret door beyond the walls. Rosaline saw a glimpse of the cruel guard right as she slid down the slope behind the door she heard the murderous screams of her mother behind her. When she finally made it she did what she had to do; she ran.

(Rosaline met Jake while making a camp in the woods and fell in love as they both grew together and were inseparable.)

3 yrs. later

“Rosaline I, love you.”, said Jake.”I love u to Jake” Rosaline said as she smiled. “I’m going to change “

Rosaline left and went inside the tent and saw a glowing green beneath her covers. She slowly took out the amulet that was opened and shining and to her amazement writing in black cursive began to appear amidst the green glowing amulet. Rosaline looked and gasped as she read the words” run for the love wishes to pierce the heart with an arrow greater than death.” As Rosaline wished to call for Jake to see the amulet she peeked out the tent only to see Jake and a guard bearing the same uniform and symbol as the ones that she recalled just before hearing her mother being murdered. Finally she realized the truth…the love…the weird feeling…the constant watching..even the mysterious money that seemed to come from nowhere. She understood and did exactly what she did three years earlier…she ran and once again became the running princess

well, well ,well, this was something prince charming would rave against, I like how he was actually bad I would have loved to see more rivals in it or a reason of the attacking, probably another kingdom in need of a new one, but... I liked its simple and short appearance. kudos to you, I am a fan of the medieval era. I have a story here some what in that era if you would like to read, its titled, Crystaled Lips. Please let me know what you think of it. I will definitely read more of your work. I also have a group for short story writers, you should join and we could work on developing ideas together. Thanks.
