All six foreign princess arrived in the small isolated town of Lima, Ohio. Karolyn, Eve, Alisa, Akello, Leah, and Maria. Each princess had to endure several seemingly endless hours of transportation. They had to switch from plane to train to certified agency vehicle every hour and a half.
Karolyn couldn't be more exicted about being freed from the castle in which she was imprisioned and given the title as princess. Now she could be a regular teenage girl. She could be apart of something bigger rather than stare down and judge people from the high views of the throne. She didn't want to be her parents. And now that she had escaped that she could travel when she was older and finally make adventures for herself.
Eve on the other hand felt sort of numb and conflicted on what she felt about this transition. She was leaving behind her sister and her father and the memories she had left of her mother. She was leaving Grace to deal with father's silence and ignorance. She was leaving Father to deal with the turmoil of his life. And she felt like leaving she was erasing the image of the castle. And the brief memories of her mother that she had left.
Alisa begged the first several hours of her journey for the agents to let her free so she could be with Lukas. She already missed his dark chocolate eyes and his green eyes that illuminated Alisa's life the moment she looked into them. But there was this nagging feel deep inside of Alisa that made her stop crying. Lukas, if he really loved her, would find her. But Alisa had broken the ties that kept her straped to the castle.
Akello stared blankly out the tinted window of every plane, train, or car she was escorted in. She was really alone now. They abandoned her. They tossed her out like she nothing but garbage. Akello didn't understand. Her family was closely knit and would give their own life to protect any one of them. When mama and papa along with the rest of her family told her she had to leave it felt like a part of her was missing. Her family was all she could rely on her entire life and now they weren't here.
Leah much like Akello couldn't find the words to express what she was feeling. It burned feeling the cool sterling silver of the key against her neck. Apart of her father was so close to her but yet so far away. She was relived to be away from the demanding force of one of my father's men. But she'd rather marry an abusive husband just to be close to her father. She'd give anything to hand her father's hand again and listen to him as he told her about his day. She admitted to herself, that the thought of her father would someday become a distant memory, it terrified her.
Maria went crazy an hour into the travels. She screamed and fought against the agents. She demanded to be let free and if she had to jump off this plane she would. So when she began to slam her fists into the plane's windows she had to be injected. They entered a sleep induced medicine into her system and she would waken once they land in the small town of Ohio. But Maria's dreams were still cluttered with memories of Marcus and his love for her. She was tormented with nightmares of him dying chasing after her as she left.
The princess of England's father changed his mind and decided for his daughter to stay with him. Hours later the princess was killed from the window of her bedroom.
The princess of Finland was kidnapped and could not be found by anyone until just thirty minutes ago. They found her body submerged in a thick swamp a mile east of the castle.
The princess of Egypt was forced to end her own life right before the Agency could reach her. They gave told her to jump from the balcony of her bedroom or get her throat slit.
The six princesses were safe for now. They made it to Lima, Ohio before the evils of these people could end their lives short.
All six of the princesses were escorted to a large windowless meeting room as soon as they arrived. Each of the princesses conveniently arrived around the same time so no one had to wait long to find out why they were here. Once all gathered in the room each of the princesses took the opportunity to look at one another. They had never been in the presence of another princess.
"My name is Commander Jacobs. You ladies can call me Ricky. I don't want you threatened by my title so just refer to me as Ricky." He smiled warmly at all the girls. He seemed to be about in his mid to late thirties. He had rusty colored hair that stood up at odd ends. His eyes were light and his smile was charming. "You have all been placed in small populated Lima, Ohio. Which is located in the middle of nowhere in the United States. Miles upon Miles away from your castles in your very exotic countries."
"But why?" Akello asks curtly, "Why did you take me from my parents and my family and put me in the middle of a dead beat town."
"For your protection. There is not much else I can tell you rather that it is for your best interest. And if you weren't relocated you would mostly likely be killed within this week." He averted his gaze down at the ground for a brief moment before he looked up trying to reason with the girls. "You have all been placed in the same area because we can use all of our agents to keep an eye on you. Slowly over time and once the threat is defused you can chose to do whatever you please."
"Does that mean where every we go an agent will be trailing behind?" Eve asked bitterly as she imagined her every move being scruntizied and watched closely.
"Yes. Otherwise you could be easily killed when no one is there to guard your safety." Ricky said as he tried to veer away from the way this topic was going.
"But does-" Karolyn began to say but Ricky held up his hand stopping her formation of a sentence.
"Please, girls, I'd love to tell you everything. It isn't fair for you to be withheld of information. But I have no other choice. So I'd like to venture into a safer topic." He sighed knowing It wouldn't be a safe topic with these girls. "You will all receive a new wardrobe, home, and a makeover." And then that is when the room erupted with disagreements. Most of the girls argued they would not cut off their beloved hair or even consider rearranging their faces.
"It is for your safety. But I know you will not understand. The agents will lead you to the rooms where you will be given your makeovers. I am dearly sorry for your troubles and hope I can help you." he nodded his head as he stepped out of the room. Each of the girls was led by a guard to a room. Leah and Maria were placed in the mini hair salon room. Akello and Alisa were escorted to the make-up station. Eve and Karolyn were led to the stylist closest.
