Today was a day of dread. It was the same day that two years ago an evil queen named Vanta released a hoard of evil creatures. Goblins, elves, unicorns, werewolves, vampires, and so many more creatures than you could think of. What makes it worse is that I'm stuck marrying this dude that I absolutely don't know.

It's like my father, the king, hates me. Although, his day is going to be so much worse than what he expected. In two hours the guards will let the servant in my chambers and I will be gone. I am preparing now for my jump from the window. The lake below looks so far down that it looks like its thousand feet below and I would die on contact. I grabbed the bag that I had put all my cloths and all my stuff I will be needing. I can't do this. It's to far. I'm just.... to scared. Just think of all the possibilities that doing this will open. The freedom. With that in mind I bent my knees and jump.

The air on my face was wonderful. Like my prison was being wiped away in a big old wave. At least if felt nice till I noticed that the water was coming to my face. Knowing that I could not scream or I would accidentally warn someone of my attempt at escape. I crashed into the water and the cold freezing feeling of the water immediately sinking into the depths of my bones. I started to make my way to the edge of the water feeling like my limbs were stiffing every time I moved them. I am starting to regret not tossing the bag to shore first. I'm going to have to be cold and wet  for a long bit of a time. I got to the edge and got out of the water. Dragging my bag behind me as I started to walk toward the road.

My clothes feel like they are weights and causing my body to feel tired and sore. This is the most walking I've done in forever. Like my calves are burning so bad I could have literally set them on fire. I have gone a good distance from the castle though. I have past the first town that is closest to the castle. Now all I have to do is get the three miles to the next town. Then I'll rest. Yes that is what I will do. Sleep. Sleep for a day get food and something to drink. Just rest. With that in mind I started to walk faster. I must have at least walked about a mile by the time I started getting dizzy, nauseous, and I started seeing colors but I don't care. I needed to get as far away from the castle before they find me. The last thing I remembered was the feeling of relaxation and the ground. The ground was so soft.
