summary; A forbidden love with a prince, an escape that he has planned, and her belief that pushed her forward.
Her porcelain fingers trembled against the fine silk of her lavished robe. She refused to look at the mirror, despite the showers of praise her women gave her while combing her hair with golden bristles until it shone in the moonlight. A subtle breeze passed through the dimly lit room, blowing out the small flame and bringing in a silent darkness. "It's time" the lady said, taking place behind her as she was lead to the quarters of the prince. She could make out some of the whispers of the maids as she passed by them. "How lucky she is!" was what they said. She couldn't seem to put her immense disagreement into words, and it pooled up in the pits of her stomach, making it hard for her to breath. The door opened with a swift thump and she was soon alone by the prince's bedside. Not a single footstep was heard, not a single breath, just the quickened beating of her fragile heart. She simply waited.
The seconds passed by slowly, the air growing heavier. Soon her shaking hands were enveloped by warm fingertips, a warmth she could recognize, a warmth she wanted to be embraced with for the rest of her lifetime. "I promised you I wouldn't hurt you." he whispered, holding her close to him. "Now run, run away from here, run as far as your legs can bring you, until you are most certain that you can run no more." She shook her head, afraid. They were breaking the rules. Rules that have never been broken. "Listen to me. By dawn, they'll be coming in armies of hundreds of thousands, millions even! The palace will be brought to the ground, and you'll be taken away. I can't let that happen." he brushed away a rolling tear from her face, a little pearl carrying so much bitterness. "What about the maids? They'll be waiting to escort me out of here back to the maiden's quarters by morning." she said softly, her voice quivering. "Don't worry about them. Now go." he told her, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I love you." she told him, looking up at him one last time. "I love you." he whispered, squeezing her hands tightly. "We'll meet again, Your Highness." "I'll come back for you. Just wait for me, no matter how long it might take."
And she held up the train of her robe, and escaped out the small latch beneath the bed. Freedom and love. They were the only things that kept her going as she throbbed past the snow onto the icy stone paths of the cherry blossom woods. The screams and cannon shots from the palace barely audible to her as they started a few moments later.
