Title Alice Sterling, born into the royal family had no choice but to fulfill the duty of being an active princess. This included being at every hearing for every criminal that had done wrong in the kingdom of Avalon. It wasn’t that she hated her life, quite the opposite actually, she just hated the part where she was expected to act one way and only that way. Sit up at dinner, speak only when spoken to and even then she had to choose her words wisely, and the one rule she hated the most stay in the castle unless accompanied by guards. Every so often she would sneak out of the castle to get fresh air. She craved to be in the forest surrounded by nature, it was the only thing she looked forward to throughout the day. When in the forest …show more content…
The animals games had slowly died down, and one after another returned to its dwelling for a good night’s rest. The slow walk back to the palace was bittersweet, she loved the walk itself but knowing that this was the walk to the place she dreaded was making the air thicker by the minute. Avalon was a beautiful place, magical trees sprouted on every corner lining the street with bright greens and orange. Flower beds were near every curb filling the street with a sweet aroma, intense colors created a beautiful pattern within the beds making Alice smile. The palace was made of mostly glass and lavender paint, a mutual tone but it made a statement to the community. The staircase was grand and stretched into two then came back together at the top near the entrance. The door stood ten feet tall in all its glory, made of pure glass only opened during events but it’s really only an aesthetic. She skipped the stairs and went around the side of the palace and avoided all windows to try and not be seen by any guards. Carefully she slid open the one window that wasn’t guarded, her room, and placed one leg in after another and crept back into her large room. She had instead when she was little to have no guards in her room, for she felt it was the one place she wanted to be private, after many days of thought the king and queen finally caved. The next day, Alice awoke in peace, feeling the joy she had felt last night but soon that changed to question. Guards rushed down the hallway
She took a quick look around the last turn before the main street that led to the school. She noticed several boys and girls in the alleyways on both sides of the narrow street. It looked as if every class at her school, several young ladies and even her teacher waited for her in ambush. She ducked back before they could see her, hiked up her dress, and ran as fast as her little legs could carry her in the opposite direction of the angry mob. She didn’t stop until she had found the forest path that she needed and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard no one in pursuit. The forest surroundings felt different for some reason and it frightened her. It had a forbidding feel to it this dawn like she had never felt in the past.
The air was crisp and clean, as it was a mild autumn day. Throughout the forest, the sounds of nature could be heard. Birds chirping, leaves falling off trees in the midday breeze. The calm sounds of the woods gave way to a new sound: the gentle humming of a young female wanderer, on a quest to visit her grandmother. She quite enjoyed the sounds and view of the forest, as it was her favorite thing to surround herself with as she was growing up in the village not far from the forest edge. As she strolled through the winding paths of the forest road, she thought of the wonderful experiences of the day ahead with her grandmother.
Wandering the halls slowly and carefully without sufficient light to lead the way and through use of dark mood lighting and squalid living conditions in certain rooms, no end appears to her expedition. No required place for her to be dressed for or to be expected to attend, that is until the sudden echoing of someone crying draws attention to the existence of servants and provides a motive for the young girls search through the
She now knew that Daisy slept on the porch every night in her dog house. Her plan was going smoothly. She would sneak out tonight and crawl through the fence and then grab Daisy and get away from Lydia’s house as quickly as possible.
She was going to walk in the forest until she could find her brothers. She did not want to live in the castle without them. So she left the house in the forest and began walking. She walked all night and all day. When she couldn’t walk anymore she saw a cabin. She thought she could take a rest in the cabin so she went in. All she saw was a room with 6 little beds.
Finding the queen in the enormous castle was arduous, but eventually we found her. She was alone in an empty room with her back facing to us. At first, it seemed as if she didn’t notice us.
She had arrived alone with very little luggage. Only one person was allowed to enter the house and that was the maid, Henrietta. It was quite a mysterious situation. It seemed like Lady Ariana would simply stay in her house and slowly die, until one day a neighbor heard the scream of Henrietta. The neighbor rushed out of their
“This morning. You had told me you needed to talk to me after breakfast?” The princess frames the sentence as a question, as if maybe she was wrong about her and Dayna’s exchange this morning. “Oh. Yes, but I think we should take a walk first,” Dayna says somberly. The ailing queen is aware of her inconvenient stalling, for she is still identifying exactly what she will convey to her cherished daughter. Thus, Dayna and Sienna gradually made their way toward the elegant flower garden, Sienna attempting to make small talk with her mother every so often, but gave up when she realized just how distracted Dayna had been for the last few
After her morning bath she began her daily schedule. She sped through meetings about upcoming events and began her daily excursion through her garden. Until recently, the gardens were her only safe haven from the life of royalty. Quickly after her parents discovered this secret garden they made it open to the public. Nobility began to ravage her only quiet spot, leaving her to find another.
She knew Solas would disapprove once she had come back to the camp, how going off on her own just to settle her wanderlust was hazardous, considering the less than satisfactory company that roamed the woods. But until twilight- where she would undoubtedly be lectured, she was her own woman, free to dance around and embody the wantonness that called to her, centuries old spirits of her people calling to her homesick soul. Her wild motions pulled her from the main path to a clearing, trees winding in a circle around a centuries old grave marker. A giant tree that seemed to touch the very
Alice then began to sneak out, and explore the intricate hedge maze as she wanted to leave the unfortunate wedding. As she walked along she smelt the freshly picked white roses and felt the glistening sun on her, she loved the feeling of being alone; being isolated from everyone, she didn’t want to be like everyone else and end up getting married, settle down and have kids, she wanted to explore and adventure around the world.
She hurried down the grand staircase and snuck past the King and Queens room being ever so careful not to wake them. She had to leave from the back door because the front door would be too loud and she would surly wake someone. The wind
They ran towards a secret passageway that led to a remote house outside the kingdom boundaries. Before they could reach the door, five guards stepped in front making them come to an abrupt stop. Slowly backing up they realized they were trampt in a circle. Fred grabbed Ethel’s hand and whisper,“Run.”
as time for her to head back inside and pretend to be the girl the inhabitants believed she was. At least for a little while, and then she could do what she wanted. Picking up her basket of flowers, she walked over the drawbridge and headed to her chambers. She deposited the basket on a nearby table for her maid to use to dress her hair later, then quickly exited the same way she came to disappear for a few hours. To go outside and pretend to be someone she wasn’t, and most of all, to escape the castle and every single expectation thrown at her.
The forest is enchanted, and not many know about this forest. It has many magical creatures that live there. There is a secret path that leads to a clearing, where there is an apple tree in the middle, and where Princess Viola has a tree house. Also, there is an enchanted pond. The magical creatures like to eat the apples from the tree and drink from the enchanted pond. She likes to paint and write about the magical creatures in the forest.
