Chapter One: My fair Lady

My name is Wild Rose, but most refer to me as "rose" or as "the forgotten one." The only reason people know I exist is because of my mother Sleeping Beauty, or aurora. Yes, I am her daughter, and Like my mother, I have befallen the horrible fate of being imprisoned like her.

I can remember it like yesterday.... I was a child of about two, and playing with my favorite kitten, when I heard a strange sound at the door. My mother, slightly aged, but pretty, answered the door, and brought into my nursery a pretty, but scary fairy type creature that had a grin of malice on its face. The creature, clad in black, reached down, and touched my head. "So aurora, this is your daughter...but that begs the question why I did not have a chance to bestow a gift to the child.." My mother's face went white, and she started shaking as she mumbled "no, we forgot to invite you to the christening...I can't believe our family made the same mistake twice..." The creature laughed "yes, I can't believe it as well, but now that I am here, I would like to give the child a lovely gift...

For all your fun

And all of your pain

The winter winds

Will come again

And cover the wild rose

In a blanket of snow

Until the spring

And love may come again

The creature uttered those words, and immediately, I felt sick. The spell she had cast said that I would be imprisoned until I found my true love, and do you know what happened?

I was sixteen, and smitten with a prince from France, John Philippe. One night, John and I were sitting on a tree branch, that overlooked a great lake, and I slipped off of the branch. John tried to catch me, but failed. For a few moments, I managed to swim above the water, but after about a minute, my heavy dress, and the waves pulled me under the cold dark water.

I was pulled down, and saw mermaids, fish, and a few otters. Finally, I hit the bottom of the lake, and realized that I could breathe. I smiled, and swam up to the surface, and was about to pop my head out of the water, when I discovered that I couldn't. As I tried to break the surface, my head kept banging against this force field. I was trapped in a lake. Of course, the otters, mermaids, and fish could break the surface if needed, but I couldn't.

So now I wait

((New P.O.V.))

I had heard a lot about the mysterious lake, and decided to finally take a look at it. My name is Demetrius, but most call me Dimitri. I am prince of this land, and heir to the throne. My family came into power when the family of the famous Aurora disappeared for no reason. I hate to brag, but I must say that many are smitten with me. I, unlike other princes, do not have blonde hair and blue eyes; in fact, I have black hair, and brown eyes, and odd combination. Anyway, the only reason I wish to go to the lake is because in my dreams, I see a stunning green eyes, raven haired, olive skinned woman. She is below the surface, and looks up at the sky wistfully.

And so my journey begins.
