The Peacock Princess
By: Smartie1999
There was once a land where the monarchy of the kingdoms were named and inspired by the main and most beautiful creatures from the land. The largest of the monarchs is the Peacock Kingdom. In this kingdom there was a princess, the Peacock Princess. Whose name was Ashleen. This is her story.
I got up earlier than usual. Still tired I tried going back to sleep, but it was impossible. So I unwillingly got up, and looked around the room. It looked normal, my bed was untidy, and my bedroom walls were the same colors, peacock blue at the fore wall, gold beside my bed, and bright purple at the beginning wall. The furniture was in the same place, my decorations the same. Though, something didn't feel right. I felt a presence in my room, but I couldn't tell why. It was as if something was breathing up my neck, and watching me.
Then out of nowhere, a hand grabbed me. It felt as if it was dragging me pulling at me trying to show me something. But I didn't care what it wanted. Terrified I screamed "Let go of me please! Guards, guards! Help me help me!" Suddenly the door swung open, and the hand let go. "Princess, are you okay? "Asked Joshua, my noblest guard. "There was something, a hand grabbing at me. I was terrified. It was trying to show me something." I replied. Joshua, confused looked at me curiously. Looking out the window he noticed it was only dusk. "What are you doing up so early?" Annoyed I said "I couldn't sleep, is my mother or father up yet?" "Well, no princess Ashleen." Joshua replied.
Later that day, I discovered what the hand was and what it was trying to show me.A troll had attacked the village nearby and the hand was a messenger from one of the residents of the village that was sent to alert the royals. Lucky for me, the king and queen handled the situation and the troll is long gone from the village.
