My heart is pounding like it is about to explode because of one stupid mistake. 2 hours ago we were at the kings feast and by we I mean me and my sister. We were excited to finally see what it looks like in the place. The king decided to invite everyone in the village to the palace for a feast. As soon as we sat down the king proposed a toast to the kingdom.

“May this kingdom prosper and have good fortune to all of its citizens.” The king said majestically.

Then we all started eating and this was when my life was about to change. The king announced the he was looking for a bride for his son the price. The price was a scrawny sort boy with thick greasy black hair. Almost the exact opposite of the king. The king started the trials and asked all the men to leave the palace and for all eligible women to stay. The first task was that we had to prepare the prince’s favorite food in under 10 minutes. His favorite food was steak with steamed broccoli of course the only thing I can’t cook.

“Ten minutes is up show the prince your dishes”

The price started to eliminate women after women. After a few other tasks it was somehow down to me and another girl who looked like the perfect princess.

“The last task is to try and impress the price with a unique talent” announced the king.

The first woman went up first and sang the most beautiful song I have ever heard. Then it was my turn I was shaking in my boots I didn’t want to marry the price so I did the only thing I could think of insulting the prince.

“ you look like somebody from my nightmares! I never want to marry you!” I said my legs feeling like jello.

And then the king lost it.

“How dare you insult my son your prince!” The king said furiously.

Then I started running away from the palace and away from the prince as fast as I could. My heart pounding and pounding my feet sore I fell like I had already run a hundred miles, but then I realized that the king was following me on his horse and in his hand was his sword. The sword shined in the moonlight like nothing I have seen before. I did the only thing I could do run into the forbidden forest. So I did I ran and ran my legs and feet were sore I ran until I was far away from the king and his sword. Then I realized that I am alone in a dead dark forest at night with bears,wolves,foxes, and other animals that could possibly kill me! So I tried to find the safest place close by and try to have a same sleep. Hopefully I will survive until the morning.
