I could hear my heart pounding in my chest, I knew that I couldn't go on runnning for much longer. But what else could I do? They would still chase after me. They would still try to get me.
Running was my only option.
But I couldn't do that forever.
I knew that, at some point, I would have to stop and face my fears.
But that was not the time to do so.
I, still, had too much to lose. Though, I had lost so much.
But I could regain some of it, not all of it.
I could hear voices, though, by this time, I was unsure of whether these were real, or just inside my head.
I stopped to catch my breath. But for some reason, it seemed that the voices were stealing it away so that they could speak their hateful words.
They weren't the only words that I could hear. I could hear other voices. I had to hide.
"Where is she?"hissed one voice.
"I don't know," came a second voice.
"She can't have gone far," commented yet another voice.
They were talking about me.
"Well, wherever she is, we have to find her, we have orders," came the first voice again.
Orders? From who? Oh why was I even asking? I knew perfectly well who they were from. They were from the one who was the problem.
"Lets keep going," said the third voice.
I had to get going, they weren't going to get me.
Suddenly, I slipped and fell. I bit my lip, trying not to let my cry out.
"Hey, look at this, foot prints!" announced one of the guards.
I was so afraid I had forgotten to cover them up, with a quick flick of my hand I erased them, covering them with a fresh layer of snow.
"Where? I don't see them," replied another.
"They were here!" he protested.
"She must be close then," said the one whom I had heard first.
I tried to get up, but for some reason my whole body seemed to stop responding.
I looked in the direction of the voices, I could glimpse one of the tall figures tracking me down.
Come on I thought, trying to will myself to move, but it wasn't working.
There was only one way this was going to end, not the way I wanted.
Unless...
Slowly, but surely, a blizzard began to stir. If only it had done so faster.
Before I was able to make the snow thick enough for the guards not to see me, one of them turned around.
"Look! There she is!" one of them shouted.
I guess I was wasn't very lucky.
As the guards approached me, the began to grow fearful, as if I would want to hurt them.
That's probably what they were told when they were ordered to come and find me, 'Beware, she is ruthless and will not go down without a fight, she will not cease her rampage of destruction', I imagined them being told.
If only it was my rampage of destruction, then I wouldn't feel so bad.
It didn't help that none of them believed me, that I wasn't the monster.
But why listen to your Queen?
"We don't want to hurt you," said the guard who spotted me.
"We just want you to come with us," said another guard.
"What if I don't want you to come?" I replied, not really wanting to move.
"We... We... We have orders," said a third guard, who was clearly terrified of me, as if I would hurt any of them.
"From who?"
"Princess Anna," he choked out, who'd have guessed?
"Well, are you still taking orders from me?"
"We were ordered not to, she said... um..." Wow, she has surprised me.
"It is not important what she said," interrupted one of the other guards.
"Oh, but I believe it is," I argued, though I already knew why.
"She said that you will only order us to do your dirty work," piped the one whom had been so afraid of me before.
"Is that so?" I questioned.
"Yes. Now please come with us, we do not want to have to force you," said the guard who had interrupted the smaller one.
"Well, I'm not coming."
"Wrong!"
And with that he sprayed me with some sort of gas, and within seconds, the world went pitch black...
