There once was a little girl who lived in the woods.

She had no parents nor any siblings.

She lived in a little cottage near a little stream of water.

She would hunt for food and she would go out to gather berries.

One night it started to rain.

The little girl looked out of the window and smiled.

She ran towards the door and opened it up.

A giant gust of wind burst through the door and almost knocked her over.

She giggled and ran outside to play in the rain.

The now soaked girl skipped towards a rather large puddle.

She eagerly jumped in it giggling.

What she didn't realize was the depth of the puddle...

it was a large hole! And the water was starting to suck her down!

the girl couldn't see nor could she breathe.

Suddenly she was able to see a bright light and she felt a pull on her light dirty blue dress.

The girl felt like she was drowning and she passed out.

When she woke up she was surrounded by many people.

When they helped her up they all gasped at her face.

They started to whisper among themselves while glancing at her every now and then.

Suddenly they stopped and bowed down to her.

Then an old man came up to her and smiled while taking her hand.

He lead her to this old castle hidden from the fog.

There was moss all around the castle stones.

It made the castle look mysterious and haunted, but she didn't mind.

When they got to the front gates the old man knocked twice.

The door opened slowly, squeaking the whole time.

When they entered it was pitch black making her go closer to the man.

The dark room was lit up by many candles and she was in awe.

She saw the throne as it glisten from the sun.

the gold sparkled and the jewels were bright.

The cushion was a red velvet that was soft to touch.

She ran her small fingers on the chair and gently sat down.

The girl gasped as a silver circlet was placed on her head.

The circlet was made out of pure silver, but it was thin.

The designs were delicate all around until it stopped at her forehead.

As the circlet dipped down in the middle a small jewel was there.

The small jewel had red and silver swirling together.

She smiled at the old man as he bowed to the ground.

The little girl ruled from that moment when she sat on the throne.

20 years later she grew into a beautiful young woman.

She was a kind and gentle ruler that the people adored and loved.

One night a bad storm approached the village and it rained 3 days.

After the third day the young woman stepped outside for a walk.

The queen came across a large puddle like the one when she was young.

She looked around to see if anyone was looking.

She then picked up her dress and jumped in, only to be pulled under.

The all to familiar feeling of being drowned overcame her.

She struggled and tried to get away but it was no use.

Just as before she saw a bright light, but she didn't pass out.

When she reached the surface she was not expecting the sight to see.

There was nothing.

Buildings were destroyed and on fire.

The sky was a blood red with no clouds.

There was an eerie fog that was casted across the land.

Cars were abandoned and no one could be seen.

The girl was alone.

Then it dawned on her.

This was her world that she came from...

how much time had passed while she was ruling?

Although she still looked like she was in her 20s, the girl knew that more than 20 years has passed.

She realized that this was the end of the world...

this was the apocalypse.

And she was alone.
