The princess who returned as a queen

Eliana pov

“Eliana” I heard the voice call me. My body was so weak to respond or maybe I was just too heartbroken to feast all night.

I opened my eyes,cause they are the only thing responding to me, slowing I opened to see my mom on her knees holding me tears in her eyes,

“ Elaina what have you done to yourself”

She said as she examined my body. I turn to see my little sister hiding on the chair at the side of the room.

My dad walks in " what happened to her “ my mom looked at him shaking her head " I don't know what she did “

My dad walked to me and carried me on his shoulder,my body screams in pain, my eyes only explained, I look up to see my sister Paris staring at me,I couldn't tell if she was scared or happy or maybe sad, all I knew was after this my life just got worse.

I opened my eyes to see myself on my bed, feeling better, I turn around no one just as quite as it can be, just breathing and the breeze kept the room alive,

I stand up from my bed walk to my door it was locked,

I wasn't surprised but was just expecting a change, ever since my rapid hair growth and nails my father locked me here in my room, fed like a dog and kept in the cage.

I walked to the window,I saw nothing but servants and gardeners walking by, none dared to look up at my window,or either walk to my chamber, I was only served by my mother or ser derick.

I went to my closet, brought out an old box which I use to keep myself busy from thinking too much about my curse, curse just like Paris called me.

I opened the box and a letter fell down from it, I look and picked it up and stare at it “FOR THE MISS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL QUEEN". I smiled as I read the message in front of the letter,it was from my grandma, at my seventh birthday last year, she always believed in me and never left me alone, before my curse began Grandma always say am special didn't really know why she always see me that way or maybe I was just a special curse.

I kept the letter inside the box back and let my tears fall, leaving me permanently in this cruel world. How can the only person in the world leave me, by this time, where I need her. " I folded my arms around my knee and hid my face on it, crying.

I heard footsteps coming, ever since my cursed I hear footsteps and recognize them, it was ser derrick, I picked up my box rush to the closet and hide it, I walked to the door, cleaned my dress and eyes stand waiting for him to come in, I faked a smile and wait for him.

He opened the door and bowed his head,his left hand, held his helmet and rested it on his waist " my lady “ he said as he bows, and closed the door behind him.

I hugged him immediately " oh ser derick “ I gripped him hard, till he choked and he tapped my back with his last strength, I loosening and he breath

“ My goodness,you're pretty strong now my lady" he holds his chest as he breathes heavily.

I smiled and walked him to sit on my bed, I stood in front of him and watch him catch his breath.

" My lady “ he said after he made sure he breathed, " I heard what happened to you, are you okay, are you hurt?”

He say as he hold my hand and examines me.

" What happened “ he looks me in my eyes, I rolled my eyes " nothing was just hungry “

He looked down in sadness. " I'm sorry I didn't feed you” in a sad tone.

I cut in " oh stop it, ser derrick, you're not my to be blamed, you treat me more nicely than my own father*".*

He took a deep breath, I can still sense he has something to tell me, I smell the fear and sadness from him, I couldn't tell what is in his mind but I sense him.

I touch his face and smile “ it's okay Ser derick it's going to be okay" I smile and he tries to smile.

“ So what do you have for me today" I smile straightening myself in a proud gesture.

" As always “ he says as he brings out a pack of sweets and a story book.

" I tried to get something different “ he scratched his neck.

I took the book and read the title The Werewolf Documentary. I smiled this would keep me busy and learn new things, I say in my head.

" I love it ser derick “ I hugged the book tight, He smiles and stands up with his helmet,

I can still sense his fear and sadness, he bows and walks away.

I try not to worry about it and then I sat close to my window open the first page And it was written “ WHY THE MOON AWAKE THE BEASTS” I heard again my mother footsteps approaches, I didn't move or hid my gift from Ser derick, i just sat down reading.

My mother walked in, a strong sadness followed her. I was shocked, pain, sadness, and regretful. The emotions was so strong, I couldn't look away or hide it, I turned to look at her.

Her eyes swollen she stood with a tray of food she's been crying, I know my dad might have said a lot of things to her, she stood there looking sad,she drop the tray of food at the table at the side of my bad, and rush to me, as she walks closer.

The emotions were too much I have to move, backwards, I almost fell forgeting I was sitting at the window, my mother rush to hold me faster and saved my life again.

“What are you thinking? "My mother yelled as she hugged me, tears running down her face. I can feel it on my shoulders. The sense felt so strong, I have to push her away, staying far from her, I stop at the side of the room. It was a little dark.

My mother watch me with surprise tears still running down her face, but she wasn't surprised that I push, No she was looking at something, something strange, something different, I followed her eyes, she was looking at my hand, I was crawling, I was walking on four legs like a dog, my nails got long again, It came to reality I stood up and stand on my legs hiding my hands but too late, she already saw how I walked away.

I try to touch her, she stubble and walked away in fear.

“Mom " I said to her

She shook her head like she couldn't believe her eyes, she wipe her tears and runs away from my room locking the door from outside, I screamed in pain

“ Mom please don't leave me here, please "

The fear I sensed made her other emotions calm, the regrets all gone and her sadness less.

I swallows hard,how can she be this cruel to me, “ why do you hate me like this, no one cares about me, " I scream my head and body hurts again I panicked,my hair began to grow, I watch my nails getting longer.

“ No no no no,it can't be happening again" I said and rushed to the darker place in the room,I sat down holding my hair from my head, breathing faster, My heart beating fast my body in pain, I try to screamed but I wasn't screaming, I was growling.

" Mom “ I growled, "help me please “ I pointed at the door as the pain made me lay on the floor.

Then I recall Grandma voice " your different you'll be okay, I struggled to the box and brought out the singing box Grandma gave me when I was six years, I played it and closed my eyes tight,

I hum to the song and my breathing slows down. I felt peace and safe. I hugged it till II dozed off.

I heard footsteps, no emotions but something cold followed the steps, I slept on the floor the whole day .

I sat on the floor listening to the footsteps of four men coming. I don't know them, I just stared at my door like it was a piece of writing I couldn't read.

I focused on the steps. My heart stopped beating, my eyes widening as I heard the footsteps of my father . I stood up with fear holding my singing box close to my chest.

My heart began to beat faster, the door opened and four men on masks rush to me slamming me to the floor, I scream, my father pointed to the men

“ Take that monster away from my kingdom torture her if you must , I don't want to see her, kill her” he scream

My eyes widening the sense of terror made my stomach cry. The hate and anger made me bleed, from my nose.

The four men covered my face with a bag and beat me. Two men hit me hold me, while the others used sticks to hit me like a puddle. I thought I was dead, I closed my eyes and let death take me.

“Stop " a voice came and the four men stopped hitting me.

“Don't kill her here, take her somewhere far away and throw her to the beast " my mother screamed. I looked at her from the hole in the bag, my eyes were weak, but i saw her standing to cover my sister's face.

“What, why she's a monster" my father scream

“What would people say if they heard the king killed his own daughter in the castle,in her own her room " my mother bark back at my father, he looked at the men and then to my mother and paris

“ Throw her to the beast to feed,but first make sure she can't move so she won't be able to run"

They dragged me away and I watched my mother look at me with not reaction,my sister peek and didn't even cry, her face still calm,I closed my eyes and wished I was dead but mother saved me again.
