Hide Away Little Butterfly
Who would’ve imagined a princess, locked in her own kingdom’s dungeon! Worst part is, I didn’t do anything wrong. I have written this account for if I die alone here. So to whoever reads this: Welcome to the story of…my life SUCKS. I think you deserve an explanation.
I was once a happy, naïve, princess with the best brother any girl could ask for. Blaze had taught me guitar, sword fighting, and how to fight like a knight. Things I love to this day. He approved of my boyfriend Charlie, and his approval meant the world to me.
After a flash flood with dark skies and thunder echoing in the air, Blaze found me. I almost drowned but he saved me. He sacrificed himself for me, and I haven’t been the same since.
Afterwards my relationship with Charlie fell apart. We tried to make it work, but I came to a new dimension—earth—and fell in love with someone else. Milo.
After that I realized Charlie and I just weren’t meant to be…and we were both okay with that.
As soon as I thought Milo and I even stood a chance, we were stripped of it.
My cousin Summer, who lives in a nearby kingdom recently got ahold of her family’s magical amulet, and is very rambunctious with it. Lex had been trying to take it since.
But now Lex, the one who was wanted it his whole life—came for me—not the amulet…and with someone new. They wanted me. My powers.
So, now I’m in hiding and everyone is forbidden to contact me, just so Lex can’t find me. Milo is no exception.
I can’t leave and I’m sick of it. I’m a lot of things, but a coward certainly isn’t one of them. Hiding and waiting is just agonizing. I miss my friends, I miss Summer, I miss earth, and…I miss Milo.
Y’know what? I miss Milo. And I hate it here. Why haven’t I left? I should leave!
But…my parents…my kingdom. My whole LIFE is here. That’s not something you easily let go. Who am I kidding? I love it here! It’s my duty as the princess and heir to the throne to stay.
But I miss Milo. This shouldn’t be this hard! I should know! But I don’t. Who even am I?
…
Who am I?
I’m Skye Thatcher, Princess and Heir of Metis. And I follow my dreams. And if there’s one thing I’m sure of, it’s that Milo is my dream.
