As Mia paced about in her room, all she could think 

about was freedom. Her father was marrying her off in 

order to acquire an alliance with the Kingdom of 

Azrael. She tried to voice her discord about the 

situation. However, this was proven to be a mistake, 

when her parents locked her her room to repent and 

accept her fate,  

”This is not my destiny” Mia whispered to herself. After 

days of deliberation she decided that she must escape 

or live in misery forever. As she was starting to pack 

her bags, the door of the room flew open. 

“What do you think you’re doing?” her mom said

“What does it look like I’m doing? Why do you even care? You 

leave me to die in this room. You want to marry me off to a man I 

have never met.” Mia yelled in frustration.

“Do not speak to me in that tone. You will marry the Duke of 

Leviathan! He is a respectable man and this marriage will give us 

the leverage to expand. Your sacrifice will be greatly appreciated” 

yelled her father

“No. If she does not want to marry the Duke she does not have 

to. Let her leave and experience the dangers of the forest. After 

all what harm can it do? The sooner she realizes her mistake the 

faster she will come crawling home begging for our forgiveness.” 

her mom said.

“Thank you mother, but you will be proven false. I will never come 

back and would rather die before I marry the Duke.” Mia said with 

rage

Mia was finally free from her parents. She did not have 

anywhere to go. Mia had a friend she can go to but she didn’t 

know how long she would be there for. Mia was determined to 

move on with her life. She did not want to go back to the place 

she once loved then hated. Mia’s hatred for her use to be 

home was bad. Mia sister has always been jealous of her. She 

always wanted what Mia had or better. She was happy that 

Mia left because now she would be the one to get everything.

Things were going on unexpectedly. She heard people talking, 

it was coming from behind but no one was there when she 

turned. So she continued walking. She heard it again.

“Who is there? What do you want from me?” Mia yelled. Suddenly she 

heard only one voice 

“Hello Mia. Sweet little Mia. All alone and defenseless in the forest. 

Why it is that such a delicate creature has run away from her mommy 

and daddy? Mia trying to survive on her own do not make me laugh. 

Where are your maids when you need them? Mia you will not even 

stay here for a day.”

“Why are you being so mean? Why don’t you show yourself? I will 

survive more than a day. I will stay here as long as I need to so I can 

prove a point to my parents.”

“A point? Your parents do not care anymore they have Gwendolyn. 

She listens and does whatever is told of her to do. You might as well 

just die in these woods and no one would ever know.”

“I am not going to die I will find a way to keep myself from dying”
