Unfortunate but a little fortunate

 Father, I came to see you. If you are free, I said in a gentle tone. Come in, my daughter, Father replied. I calmly walked inside and asked You are going for war…Father? Yes… Amelia. He replied to me with a pause. I wanted to meet him a last time with a smile but I couldn’t hold my emotions in, because I knew it could be the last time, I was ever to see him again. I busted in to tears, I couldn’t pause myself for a second. father came up to me and hugged me, Amelia he said you are a brave girl please don’t do this you know I would be so worried for you and mother if you see me off with tears, I have raised you extremely sturdy. You will be the one who will handle everything after I go for war. Father let me come with you please, I asked full of tears. I wish you could but you need much practice before going out into a battle field my little warrior. Father I will wait for you, please come soon I said wiping my tears. Although I know my father is a great warrior it is still hard to see him go.

  It has been two months since Father has gone for war. I have been practicing ever since he left to improve all my skills for battle, even though I know there are many years till I would ever be sent in to the battle felid but I just like to be prepared for anything. Mother has been in terrible condition since father has left, I try to console her but there isn’t much I can do for her. All my days have been flown by waiting for father’s arrival. Well it’s getting late, so I should return back to the castle, just then I heard the sound of drums, it sounded like someone important was hear. Could it be father! I ran up to the entrance of the castle, as the doors opened the joy inside of me was bouncing up and down, My heart beat got fast it was like I was running out of breath and there they were our brave knights and soldier coming in, but I couldn’t see my father leading them up front with pride of victory. It was like we had lost; all the soldiers came in bowing their head of great loss. There were only a few of them coming back and I couldn’t see my father at all I started to panic, it can’t be I said in my head. Uncle got down from his horse and fell to his feet so did all the other soldiers, I wasn’t sure why. I went up to him and asked where is father? It was like he couldn’t answer, but then he said in great pain, Amelia… He is not with us anymore. I feel on my knees, Tear went running down my eyes. The pain was too much I collapsed on the floor.

 When I opened my eyes again, I was hoping that this all was a nightmare and it would go away but it didn’t it was the same. Mother wouldn’t even open her eyes now; it was like our whole world fell apart. Uncle does his best for us, in any way he could, but it’s too hard for us to get over everything that quickly.

 A month had passed and an empty thrown wasn’t going to lead a kingdom. Since mother wouldn’t leave her room, according to the rules I would be the next to the throne, but since I was fifteen, I had to wait till my sixteenth birthday. To be honest I didn’t want to be the queen for me it is be the toughest thing to take up my father’s throne, but I also know I have to do it not only for my kingdom but also for my father.

                                A Year Later…

.

  Today was the day, I was going to be the Queen. I really don’t know how I feel. Just as I was about to go out of my room two men came in, their faces covered with masks. How did the guards let you in! They raised their swords up to my neck, I kicked the man on the right on his knee just in time to bent back and I stabbed my dagger into the other one’s stomach, I took it out, pushed it in and took it out again. He fell on the floor the other one tried to get up I hit him with my elbow and kicked him down. I ran to my uncle as quickly as I could, I tried to get my breath together to tell him that two man tried to kill me, I was so devastated but he didn’t look so surprised, he started to laugh and said “How surprising I knew they would not be able to get the job done, I don’t know why I have to do everything myself! just like I had to kill your father myself!” He grabbed me by my shoulder and took me in front of the towers window, bye! He said and pushed me down…All I remember is I was falling from a tower and then when I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t dead! but I wasn’t ok either. I was strangled in the bushes; my body was aching with pain. I was alive, so that mean’s uncle did try to kill me and father! No! I can’t believe he would do something like that.

 I don’t know if it was the right decision but I am too far to change my mind now. I have been walking in this forest for ages. I know crying now isn’t really the best option but I feel so melancholy, I’m alone no one is here, I want to move forward but my tears won’t hold back. Oh. Why did you have to leave us father, why? I’m just alone now with no. No one at all. I was going to go deep into the ocean of despair but I heard voice in the trees and then the bushes, that caught my attention. oh no is it a fox, maybe a lion. Roar! A voice came out of the bushes, I screamed on the top of my lungs and then I heard giggles. What? I got up to the bushes a head popped out, I startled and then a little kid came out he was bursting with laughter. Ha Ha very funny I said sarcastically. You should’ve seen the look on your face! The kid responded. I am not laughing, because that wasn’t funny! Well it’s not every day you see a princess crying in the forest? He said. What I’m not a princess I said trying to convince him that’s I wasn’t. Well then what’s a crown doing on your head? He asked Um...I stole it from the palace, I said trying my best to lie, which I am not very good at. Sure! the boy said looking not really convinced. Well I don’t know who you are little boy but I am sure going to tech you a lesson! Well firstly, the name is Isaac and secondly, I will be calling you Miss princess form now on? Ah! I groaned. Well you look pretty tired Miss Princess; you should come to my village. No, I replied. We have food, water and shelter he added. Fine… I said. I mean if you don’t want to come that’s alright, he asked again. I’m coming! I said again. He’s so annoying, was pretty much the only thing I was saying in my head. Well Miss princess what’s your name? Where are you from? How many siblings do you have? He kept on asking questions and questions, when he finally stopped, I replied. Well I only have one thing say none of your business. After that it was a quiet walk until we reached the village. Isaac took me to a Tent and he said you can stay here; food will be coming shortly. Thanks, I said before he left. Well this is where I will be staying now, I sat down on the pile of wool covered with a thick cloth. Just as I sat down a lady came in my tent. Hello, I am only here to give these clothes to you, so you can change the lady said, sweetly. I got up and took the clothes, thank you so much I said. No need she replied. I laid down on the wool bed. After that, the rest of the day I pretty much just seeped, when I finally got up, it was dark outside. Miss princess may I come in? he asked. Yes! I replied to him. He came inside and said our village leader wants to meet you; he is right outside. I slowly walked outside I lifted up the tent curtain there he was, I couldn’t believe my eyes, he was right in front of me, smiling. Father! I yelled and ran up to him, just as I hugged him tears fell out of my eyes. At that moment it was like miracle had just happened.

 Father told me everything after, how uncle had tried to kill him but he ran away. He was to wounded to fight at that time so he had to hide. He made his way here to this village, the people of this village made him the leader of the tribe because father was a man of wisdom and justice.

 Well now we have to get our castle back father said. Yes! Me and Isaac Yelled. Little by little everything got back to normal. I feel like sometimes we get unfortunate in life, but if we have a little bit of hope then we aren’t so unfortunate.
