Chapter Two
Sakura Age: 16
I'm Princess Sakura, I live with my mom, Queen Rin and my younger brother, Prince Yuko. We are the Haruno's. Now your probably wondering where my father is. He's dead. He died 4 years ago in battle when I was 12. I want to be a ninja, super bad. My mother says that only men can be ninja. I mean, my family is rich they could change the law in our land. But no, only the king and his council could make changes to the land. My brother is a ninja, he's still a chonin. I pity him, really. Other wise, that's all about me.
"Mother!" I yelled across the hallway. Today was my 16th birthday, and I really wanted to check out the door that led into a room on the top floor.
I saw my mom approach me. Hands on her hips.
"I told you, for the last time. Don't. Go. In. That. Room." She said. I looked at her with my puppy eyes, "No. And that's final." I looked away with a frown, she motioned her arm for me to come to her. I looked back, I know I'm going to go into that room today.

I lied down on my bed. The time was approximately 12 o'clock. I lifted my pillow where I hid the key to the mystery door. I picked it up; it was cold when it touched my skin. I got off the bed and I was dressed in a waist pink dress up to my ankles, and the top half was green, my two favorite colors. I grabbed a cloak from my rack by the door.
I walked to my door and I opened it. I started to walk outside the door, I took one more glance of my bedroom before I walked out and closed the door.
Each hall was deserted. None of the servants were there. They must have gone to bed. My party was very hectic. I kept walking. After a few minutes walking through the dark winding halls I made it to the door. I got the key out of the cloak pocket.
I inserted the key into the keyhole. I twisted the key a few times before I could get it to unlock. I grabbed the knob and it was cold. I twisted it to the right. I door popped open. A few dust particles flew into my face. I was so tempted to sneeze but unfortunately if I did, I would wake up the whole castle.
I pushed the door open, before my eyes I found a old woman sitting by the spinning wheel spinning the thread. The woman looked at me, she had black orbs.
"Dearie… I need help spinning this thread." The old woman said. I walked towards her and I couldn't stop myself.
"I can help you, but if I only knew how." I said, she looked at me in a scary way. She got off the chair she was sitting on.
"You use it like this." She said, she sat back on the chair, my eyes glued to her so I could see every movement she made. She spun the wheel and the pushed on the pedal that was on the ground. With her skilled fingers she worked with the thread on the pointy needle.
She stopped the wheel, and stopped pushing the pedal. The woman got off the chair.
"Now you try." She said, I looked at her again. I walked over to the spinning wheel. Ok so, you spin the wheel. I spun the wheel. And then you push the pedal, and then you get the thread. I started to push the pedal. I got the string ready on the needle. Oh how I hated needles.
I started to work my nimble fingers making thread. I slowly got the hang of it, and decided to go faster. And the faster I went, the more the woman smiled.
"Ouch!" I said, as I looked at my bloody finger. I looked at the woman, now she was grinning. I started to feel my head getting heavier, and heavier. Then, my whole world went black.
