Years seem to fly by quickly. Spring's life had changed since her mother
had married the king. Spring soon accepted the fact that she must act like
a princess in front of people (when she was alone she could act however she
wanted). Her mother now though seemed to have little time for her and had a
nanny tuck her in at night. When Spring turned 17 Angel stopped spending so
much time with her and started seeing a certain man. Spring began to feel
lonely and wished for a friend more then anything.
Spring danced around the shallow parts of the river in her bare feet. Her black curls bounced in a wild unruly mess and her face and hands had earth on them. She new she had to clean before she went home, but she wasn't going back for awhile. Daisy would get her if she did. Even now that she was older she still loved to torment her older stepsister who was so rude to Spring and her mother. Spring looked at the deeper parts of the forest. She had always wanted to explore them, but her mother had said how dangerous it was for young girls. She smirked at her mothers cautions, her mother would never know if she just took a little peek.
Spring walked out of the river and stayed close to the rocky shore as she walked.
"I can't get lost if I stay close to the river." she said aloud to herself. She seemed to speak to herself more often lately; with Spring's mouth so used to running constantly she was far less lonely, and far less careful.
Spring talked to herself for a rather long time before stopping.
She stopped talking and looked around herself. The river had grown deep and harsh, jagged rocks poked out from beneath the bubbling water. The trees grew thicker and looked angry and mean and very little light shown through the leaves. Spring shivered from the anger the forest showed.
"It's so different here." she said, slightly unnerved.
"Isn't it though." came a voice from behind, Spring nodded to the voice. Then jumped and turned realizing that it was herself answering back.
"Who is there?" she demanded when she saw no one was around.
No answer.
Spring looked around slightly confused. Perhaps it was her imagination? She shook that idea out, but shrugged anyways and turned shakily towards the direction of her home.
"What's your name?" the voice asked making Spring jump again.
Spring cleared her throat and slowly picked up a stone. She wasn't going to be defenseless.
Finally the speaker showed itself. A large almost animal looking creature stepped forward. He was very tall, his skin was an odd green-yellow shade, his face was large and different and it scared the young girl.
Spring screamed at what she saw and half threw the rock before attempting to run off. She instead tripped and fell into the fast flowing river.
Spring knew how to swim, but her dress tangled in her legs and the currant was far too strong for her to fight. She fell deeper in soon her lungs began to fill with water. She hit a rock and everything went black.
