Okay, I know there are alot of other stories out there about this time period, and so forth, but I promise this comes my own imagination. I could not get this story out of my head, and I thought I should share it.
I know this is a short beginning, but I wanted to know if I should continue.
Please let me know what you think! :D
"I don't think I can do this." Caroline replied, pacing in her room.
Elizabeth watched her daughter and wondered what she could do to calm her daughter. She knew this was wrong, but there was no other way.
"Caroline, there is nothing to worry about. I'm sure everything is going to be fine."
"Why does this have to happen?"
"We knew this was going to happen one day."
"Why did she have to upset him? She knew the penalty for upsetting him, and now his is looking for a new bride. How can this be happening?"
Elizabeth walked up towards her panicking daughter and grasped her arms calmly. "Everything has a reason. We don't know why these things happen, but they do. All you have to do is stand strong, and believe that everything will be alright in the end."
Caroline nodded, and wrapped her arms around her mother. She dreaded this day, ever since word spread through Mystic Falls that Queen Katherine had upset King Niklaus, and he had banished her. She knew then that the only way to keep the kingdom together was for the king to marry someone else, and quickly.
He had sent his soldiers out and they were ordered to bring every eligible maiden to the palace, and there he would decide who would be the next queen in his kingdom.
Caroline was one of them, and she knew exactly what she had to do, but the problem was she was afraid to do it.
Dawn came too quickly for Caroline, and she knew what this day could bring. She dressed in a simple dress and walked outside to the small garden her and her mother kept. It was not much, but it offered her some peace and tranquility.
The sound of approaching horses, and men's voices overshadowed her peace. She glanced up to see the king's soldiers coming towards her. She wanted to scream, but she found her voice frozen. She reached up to the neck and felt the necklace her mother had given her for her birthday. The soldiers grabbed her, and one ripped her precious necklace from her throat.
"No, please, not my necklace." She cried.
Her mother came out of the house and screamed for her daughter's safety, but the soldiers ignored her. Caroline turned her head and gave one last longing look at her mother, and felt the tears fall down her face, at the thought of never seeing her mother again.
All because a king who had become upset at his late queen, Caroline prayed she would make it through this.
She was born for this; she just didn't know it yet.
Should I continue? Do you want to read more? Let me know.
Kudos for those who can guess my inspiration. I hope you enjoy the beginning, and I hope to have the next chapter up tommorrow. I feel really good about this story.
Until Next Time...
