Escape
Somewhere in the green, dense forest
a tortured soul was fighting for light. Scavenging for a piece of hope.
Esra
*halts to catch her breath*
Esra
*breathes heavily and wipes away her sweat*
Esra
They shouldn't be able to keep up with me anytime soon.
Esra
I should find a safe place to hide for the time being
she looks around frenziedly untill a small cave catches her eyes
Esra
*clenches jaw* It looks solitary... a good place to hide but it's too obvious.
A soldier
she must have gone that way! let's split up and look both directions!
Her heartbeat raced rapidly upon hearing distant echoes
Esra
Oh God, it seems they've caught up with me. *tilts her head around nervously*
Esra hides behind a huge tree and grips her dagger.
Esra
she was right, I'd definitely need this. *stares at it and smiles*
somewhere in a prison cell, sat two women facing each other
Esra's maid
Your highness...
Esra
I've told you many times not to call me by that title anymore....
Esra
*looks up and smiles* not untill I gain it back rightfully.
Esra's maid
*smiles proudly and holds Esra's hand* Yes, of course!
Esra
The soldiers will soon be coming to check up on me. Haina, quick. We need to move.
Haina and Esra exchange their clothes. Esra, now dressed as a maid whilst Haina a prisoner.
Esra takes the keys to the prison cell and opens the cage she had been trapped in for 9 years.
Esra's maid
Your high- ah- i'm sorry...
Esra
*smiles and puts her hand on her shoulder* it's okay, what were you going to say?
Esra's maid
*Takes out a dagger* I thought... you'd want to have this... also you need it
Esra stares at the dagger for a moment before taking it into her hands
Esra's maid
It was specifically made by your father, the late King Harius. He was going to gift it to you for your 14th birthday
Esra
*stares in silence at the dagger* Haina... thank you. For all that you've done, for me and the Kingdom.
Esra's maid
I have my full trust in you.
and with the solemn promise, Esra marches off.
Closing the door behind the 'prisoner Esra'
Footsteps sound in the forest causing Esra to flinch
Esra picks up a stone and throws causing the soldier to move towards the direction it was thrown at
He swiftly passes through the tree Esra is hiding behind
When she moves to attack him
Esra
*grabs his gun hand and cracks his pinky*
Esra
*cuts his throat with her dagger*
Esra
one down... *Stares at a soldier running towards her* ....one left.
