~Undying Love~

By Jes

~Prologue~

Her, ragged, breathing was the only sound that rippled through the, cool still, night air. Save for the, occasional, sob that would escape her lips. Her porcelain skin stained with tear tracks, her heart stained with sadness and fear. She had been running for, what felt like, an eternity. She would continue to run, run as far away as she could, there was no turning back now.

Her title made no difference, When her people found out what had transpired within her castle walls, there would be no mercy. They would hang her for sure.

murderer.

There was no other word to describe her. The circumstances were irrelevant, her love was gone. Her sobs grew louder as she remembered how the victim had pleaded for his life, for her not to ruin her own life, and the lives of so many others.

But she ignored his pleas. She had done what so many others had tried and failed to do...strike down the Beloved hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. No there wouldn't be any mercy for the slayer of the great Super Mario.

The soft foot falls, of her bare feet, broke the quiet serenity of the forest, slowly dropping in pace with each new step. Fatigue both, physical and mental, had long since set in.

Her silk nightgown was torn, and tattered, in many places from running through the thick brush of the Forever Forest.

She could not stop, but she could no longer go on. Finally collapsing to the, lush forest, floor in exhaustion.

"I am sorry my dearest...it was all mistake..." She breathed

She buried her head in her hands and shed tears for her fallen love.

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack by oh so popular( *cough* one author's) demand! *Waves to Robin Lee grinning* anyway...

Flame if want, if you must, if you have nothing better to do than make fun of my story. Just don't ask me what I was on when I wrote this.
