Chapter 5: Neighbor's
"My fiance spread the word faster then darkness. Before I
knew it the entire town knew of what I was....what I am.
My family abandoned me and I of course did not marry.
I was forced into solitude. Gathering my things I went
into the forest and found an empty castle.
It seemed as if it had been abandoned, due
to it's lack of maintenance it. It represented me
in a way I could not explain. I made my home in this castle.
The only complete part of it that was the tower and it had but
one door to access it. It was a hidden door. Not extremely
apparent to the eye. But I felt at once that I knew my way
around the castle. Like a familiar book that
your parents continuosly read to you as an infant. You never
remember this once you grow yet you seem to remember the book.
I lived in this castle for two years, in solitude, no one within
miles from this castle. I lived of the land, with no provisions and
I hadn't seen my reflection since that night. I was afraid of what
I might look like afraid that if I were to see this I might loose
the vision of the beauty I had. Until one day, I awoke to the sound
of a mans voice and the chopping of a tree. At first I paid no mind,
It was as if I was back at home again. Listening to the lumberjack
doing his job so early in the morning. I awoke from this silly
dream and, began to feel fear that swept over me. I slowly rose up
onto my elbows, the hay was prickly on my back. I had took the hay
off the side of the farm the second I had arrived at this castle.
I ran up to the towers window and looked down below only to see a man. A quite familiar man swinging his axe towards a tree. I saw a woman sitting under a tree nearby in the shade. I could not tend to my
gardens today i would be forced to stay inside until night came forth
once again. Instead I sat at my windowsill watching them only to hide
once they glanced up or leave to get something to eat or drink across
the room. But once night started to creep over... they had no shelter
and headed up to the castle leaving their lumber where it lay. I was
in the tower and was luck that the door was well hidden. "They shall
never find it " I thought to myself and slowly settled down.
I heard them talking for a good portion of the night before they
must've fallen asleep.
