Author's note: Hello. I have no idea if anyone if anyone would still be intrested in continuing this story, as i have not updated it for 2 years almost. At one point I gave up writing completely, but now that i have a bit more time on my hands, i figured why not continue. I have written quite a few chapters prior and i see no reason to not publish them. So if intrested, there you go. Enjoy!

Chapter III.

All of a sudden, some sort of purple smoke appeared. It was purple, foggy and i couldn't see trough it for the life of me. In a few moments, I found myself looking into the eyes of the Queen herself. And she looked righck at me. Her stare was so strange. Full of hatred and anger. I couldnt explain it, even if I wanted to. These emotions were eating her up from the inside. Literaly. I was sure, she was in undescribable amounts of emotional pain that has been supressed for years. No matter how hard she tried to hide it with multiple layers of makeup, dark robes or that regal behaviour. It was obvious to me from the moment i saw her.

Your majesty - said one of her knights. Here she is. The girl you requested.

I just stood there and made sure not move a muscle. Without a word, eyes pinned to the floor. Maybe I was still in too much of a shock from the fact that im here - forced to stand before the evil queen herself.

At that moment i wouldnt have been abe to make a sound, even if my life depended on it.

On your knees! - shouted the bastard who dragged me here. When i didnt move, he decided its for the best that he throws me to the ground himself. Afterwards he even smiled with a sence of great accomplishment. As I was pushed against the hard stone floor, i glanced up, seeing her majesty in her usual royal attire. A majestic, indogo robe, with shining rhinestones - the tiniest diamonds, to be exact.

No matter how coldhearted and beastly the woman in front of me was - from the outside she appeared as one of the most beautiful women i had pleasure seeing with my own eyes - in 19 years of my life. Much more tho, then about the looks of her majesty, i was concerned ...well...if i was to have the pleasure of waking the next morning. The option yes was rather a wish still, not a fact...And that scared me...Really indeed. My whole body was shaking and i had to make sure, from time to time, i still feel my own heartbeat.

Whats your name, girl? - Asked the queen without warning. I jumped at the harshness of her tone...That obviously pleased her.

I'm - I wasnt sure what to say. Should I lie? - i asked myself. For a brief moment it seemed as the wisest option. On the other hand, i needed to remind myself, that in all honesty, Im a terrible liar. I always have been. So after quickly ditching the idea.

While I took my sweet time to have an inner batle with myself, the queen grew more inpatient with every second passing:

Are you mute? - She asked in a sharp, sarcastic tone. Have you lost your voice all of a sudden? - she glared.

As i was still too hasitant to make a sound she grabbed my chin, holding it firmly. She forced me to look at her, sharp long nails digging into my pale skin. I hissed. It hurt quite a bit, she made sure of that...But my fear was even stronger.

I still wasnt sure if i should talk or not. After a while she let go of my face. Standing above me, looking in a dissaproving way. As if she was contemplaiting her options on how to force me to talk.

SAY SOMETHING, YOU LITTLE...! - shouted one of the men. He didnt get to finish his sentence tho, as the queen raised her hand sharply. This gesture was to make him understand that if he speaks out of turn like this one more time, he might get a fate worse than mine. To no surprise, he shut his mouth immediately.

For a long time, there was such silence in the room, you could hear a pin drop. The queen continued to stare at me. Looking me up and down, without a word.

You are quite lucky girl - she smirked. Im in a good mood today. Now. Last chance. Tell. me. your. name! *she whispered with a twisted smirk.

So...Hope you like it... Let me know if you would be intrested in chapter 4 (its written i just need to publish it* Im sorry again, if you found any grammar errors while reading...As mentioned on my profile page, english is not my first language.
