Princess Secrets

Chapter 1: A Princess' Personality

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful land surrounded by forests on all sides. A small town lay at the foot of the tall mountain that stood in the middle of the land. The mountain was surrounded by a river that circled around, a draw bridge connecting it to the town. On a cliff high up above the town, there was a great castle with a royal family that ruled the land. King Ronald and Queen Eris were very content with their lives, living in their home away from everyone else. There was also a princess named Erika who was only just turning fifteen years old. Despite her age, everyone knew that she was the most beautiful thing to ever grace the kingdom since its creation by the well known

Queen Erika whom the princess was named after.

Erika had a younger sister, 8 years old, who looked up to her as her role model. Her name was Nicole. Then, there was their older brother, the handsome 19 year old Prince Liam. Unlike his sisters, Liam never had any trouble expressing his feelings and was well known as a lady's man. Rebellious to his parents, he would usually slip out of the castle and into the town to have a good time with the people. Having fun at parties and hitting on women was his peragative, but upon returning home would find his parents upset at his behavior. Still, he was very protective of his sisters and always tried to keep them happy.

This story circles around the middle child, Princess Erika. Nobody actually knew a lot about her, except that she was so gorgeous that someday she would surpass her beautiful mother who always wore the most beautiful clothes and jewelry she could get her hands on. Erika, like her parents, was very content most of the time, never known to escape into the town. She was rarely ever seen in public, even at the royal celebrations they sometimes had. She was often too shy to even look at a crowd and stayed in the back. She had heard about her admired beauty, but didn't seem to believe it herself. To her, she was just a simple teenage girl and didn't seem to have any talents either.

However, everyone has their secrets and Erika kept hers deep in the dark. Her personality was seen as all these things, but alone, she seemed an entirely different person. She was dark and perverted, imagining things nobody could ever think she of all people could imagine. Since she was 9, she would quite often have dreams that would drive her crazy. When she was alone in her bedroom, she would write in her journal, the things that pushed her to the brink. Though she had never been with someone in bed, her fantasies compensated to please her. Her true self was hidden under that veil of shyness and simplicity.

On one bright Monday morning, she awoke to find she had actually forgotten to put her underwear back on after her fantasy making the night before. Her brother and sister came into the room as she hid her nakedness under the blanket. Liam shook her happily and yelled, "It's time!"

"What? Time for what?"

"You don't remember? It's your birthday!"

"Come on!" Nicole yelled at her, "Get up! We're gonna have a party like you've never seen!"

Liam gave Nicole a short laugh and said, "She hasn't ever seen a party before."

Liam and Nicole laughed and pushed Erika, shaking her in the bed. She tried to keep the blanket up, but blushed and screamed when the side was pushed over her body, revealing the side of her waist. Nothing was there and as Liam noticed, pulled the blanket back over. He paused and said to Nicole, "Come on. Let's leave her alone to get ready." He glanced back at her as he walked out the doorway. Erika lay there, freaked out from being partially uncovered and seen by her brother. Luckily, Nicole noticed nothing and remained confused at the sudden nervousness that came across Liam and Erika.

After getting dressed, Erika came down the stairs to meet her parents with many people, most of which covered the courtyard. Erika was turning 15 and everyone was in an uproar. She showed her shyness as usual and tried to conceal her embarrassment. Liam now didn't have the bravery to look her in the eyes. She couldn't just as much look him in the eyes either. Their father saw her and pointed her out to the people he spoke and laughed with. Her mother walked over to greet her.

"Well, if it isn't our newly 15 year old daughter. Better step it up a notch. You're gonna have to speak out sooner or later."

Hearing this made Erika think for a moment. 'What if I told everyone what I really am? What would the people say?' She shook her head at her mother and said, "No, I don't want to speak to anyone."

"What? Honey, it's your birthday! Everyone has come to see you! You're the main attraction!"

"No! I don't want to talk to anyone today. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to stay alone in my room."

Eris just looked at her daughter, surprised and at least a little humiliated. "You do know that this was all for you. What is everybody going to say when they find out that you're not even going to attend?"

Erika stayed quiet and stood, looking down at the floor. "Fine, you can stay in your room for the day, but promise me you'll thank these people for coming before the party's over."

Erika nodded and walked back up to her bedroom. Liam stood not too far away, listening to the conversation. As she closed her door, she locked it and sat on her bed. She took a deep breath and thought to herself. She looked over to her desk and pulled open a drawer to find her journal. She began to write down all that happened so far when she suddenly stopped. Something felt different all of a sudden. She looked over at her door, thinking about the people downstairs. Perhaps she could go down and reveal a more social side. After all, she was pretty social in all her dreams and fantasies. She couldn't define the feeling she had, only that it was pushing her mind to go back down. She took another deep breath, put her journal down on her desk, and went back down.
