As I started to enter the forest I could hear the muffled shouts of gaurds chasing after me. I could barely see with the tears that were welling up in my eyes as they were dripping down my face some being flung off of my face from sharp movements to avoid obsticles.

It had been a couple of minutes since I started running I was tired and couldn't afford to damage my already bruised and scraped feet from running bare foot through the dead sticks and other things. Unfortunately I hadn't managed to escape, I could still hear the guards closer than ever now, now that im tired and worn out I gave up I colapsed In the middle of running through dead thorn bushes, I couldn't care anymore wether they got me or not.

I was a mess. A girl 17 of age crying in pain and suffering from the past memories to taunt her for years to come. She was weak she was pathetic she was not the old me I use to know back when I couldn't stop smiling or talking about the amazing adventures I had but now Im an unhappy child that can't even speak a few words.

By now the gaurds had surrounded her there was no way out, I knew I was finished never to have the freedome of running through the forest or listening to all the nocturnal animals awaken from there slumber. Never to be heard again by me.

The gaurds were closing in, I was still crying by now I had nothing to lose or to live for so I let them drag me back to town and back infront of that prick at the table but now there were even more people crouded around the entreance to the hall to see what was happeing.

I took one look at the croud and closed my eyes as I was draged through them. My legs too sore to move, my arms the wrists are still chained and my freedom nothing more than a peice of dust that is unwelcome in a wealthy persons house. I was staring at the ground. I wouldn't look up or speak a single word to a person who hasn't felt what she has. As my tears silently fell making the dry ground underneath me wet I heard the same voice from before as he spoke "Well look what we have here the same pathetic waste of space from before?"

He started standing up from his seat I could hear the heel on his boot clip and clop against the wooden floor but it was comming closer. I stayed quiet this seemed to push his buttons, as he came closer he stopped right in front of me and croutched he cupped his fingers on my chin and lifted my head up to face him but before I could protest I felt a quick and little pinch at the side of my face, be had slapped me but after what happened with the prickles and thorns it was nothing."HOW DARE YOU WASTE MY TIME WITH YOUR CHILDISH BEHAVIOUR I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO OTHER THAN TO DECIDE WETHER WE PUT YOU IN A CELL OR YOU LET YOU FREE!!"

The man yelled in my face I could feel the spit on my cheek but I didn't budge or whimper at his sudden temper tantrum I blankly starred at his face now even angrier than before he got up and walked out with his last words before leaving was "put her in a cell untill she speaks" said the agrovated boy as he stomped off else where to have a tantrum.

"Your luck he looks down on women" stated the gaurd before I was shoved foward into the cell I just stumbled and fell my legs still hadn't gained enough strength to even lift me up a off the ground. "STAY THERE if you know whats good for you!" Demanded the gaurd that just dragged me here but where did I have to go I was cornered, defencless and had no way of escaping again

~Time skip~

It had been awhile since I was thrown back in my cell. My legs have started to scab at the wounds and I can stand for a short while as well as walk but it still hurts. I started thinking about how I even ended up here, why they even dragged me back to this town, why I had to suffer from the sins of others. *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* I jumped at the sudden loud noise. I looked up to see what made the noise, it was a guard he had hit the handle of a sword against the cell bars. I stared at him blankly as he spoke    "Lord Fraiser has demanded your audience in the hall" I blinked once or twice as the guard started to unlock the cell door. "HURRY UP the Lord does not need you to waste his time anymore!" Said the gaurd I got up and started walking towards the door. I didn't walk fast, my legs still hurt but as I reached the door the gaurd shoved me forward to hurry me up but I stumbled forward unable to get my balance and fell on my shins almost hitting my head on the nearby stairs
'Authors note~ she still has her wrists chained'
I winced at the sudden pain in my legs letting only a single stray tear roll from my eye.

"GET UP, PEOPLE EXPERIENCE MORE PAIN THAN THAT DAILY!" Complained the gaurd what happened next was something he didn't expect.

"Don't you think I already know that" was what I whispered just only loud enough so it was barely audible "What did you say!" demanded the gaurd not hearing all the of the sentence I just said. I stood up and turned around not showing my now tearing up face as the first tears started falling off my face and making a small puddle underneath me I was shaky making me weak but before I fell to my knees crying I know spoke only so he could hear me with a shaky sad and angered voice "DON'T Y-YOU TH-THINK I ALREADY KN-KNOW THAT!' At the end I looked up at him as I held my tears back and calmed my self down enough to not shake anymore.

I looked at him straight in the eyes as I stood still and stopped crying "Don't you think I know what it is like to lose everything and then your only wish is now shattered knowing you will not have the ability to go back and try and save those dreams from being shattered and now your in the only type of place you have wanted to avoid is now the place you will never be able to escape because your a coward who couldn't do anything to save the things you love the most!" Was what I said but as I was finishing I got quieter making the last few words barley audible.

The guard just stared at me but I wasn't looking at him anymore I was staring at the ground so I couldn't tell how he was feeling. Before he could speak I turned around and started up the stairs and spoke weakly "We have wasted enough time the Lord is probably getting restless by my absence ... better start thinking of a lie because I'm not talking" this was all I said before he nodded and followed me up the stairs and grabbed the dangling chain and pulled me along to hurry me up, it hurt but I didn't want to cry so I sucked it up like I always have and kept an empty face the rest of the way.
