Not Just A Forbidden Love, But A Forbidden Life.

I stood near the edge as it called to me. It longed for me to jump.

What if I did? Would the world really miss me?

“Yes.” A deep, power holding voice spoke from behind me. I slowly turned around only to lock eyes with a beaten, ragged girl.

“What?” I breathed out. “You. Will. Be. Missed.” I look away scoffing.

“How so?!” I asked more sternly, feeling the rage start to boil up in me.

“You feel like no one notices you. You feel worthless because that people have told you, you are. You feel angry cause this is not what they promised. You feel sad because your broken. They have broke you.” Her words of truth hit me like a stone. She was...she was right.

“H-how do you know that?” I finally broke the silence.

“I felt it once too. The unbearable weight of nothing is in your shoulders, and I want to take it for you.” She told me calmly.

“What?” Was all I could manage to say. She then slowly approached me, not unlocking the eye contact. Her face wore are small but warm, bright smile as she lifted her arms and wrapped them around me. With this embrace my walls came crashing down. Everything. My vision was invaded with mad, sorrow filled tears.


THREE MONTHS LATER

My feet ached and my mouth was dry, but I didn’t stop. I ran through the tangled, wet, frosty forest when suddenly I could see light in the distance. I smirked. I had found my destination. Turning over, I signaled the other girls to come forward and to the house that was standing in front of us. They moved swiftly as they claimed the side of the wall. A cry of pain broke through the air, and I winced. This is why we are here. One by one the girls hoped through the window, then I heard nothing. The lights went out, the movement had stopped. My heart sunk. Worry filled my stomach as I looked around for anything really. And as quick as it happened the lights flicked on and all five of my girls came out of the window. They worked together getting two new girls out as well. They had been successful. I let out a breath of relief and walked up to the new recruits.

“Listen, I don’t have much time to explain. Do you want a chance at a better life?” I asked them gently. They both looked at each other then to me.

“Yes.” They responded. I smiled then turned around and gave the signal.

Finally we had returned to base. We had an underground not only building but a Society. In this kingdom there are only kings. So we made our own queens. We take girls, and we rise them up so they know how to fight for them selves and others. We rase them to work with those who hate us, not do what they have done to us.
