Nearly stumbling over herself my mother manages to get a head start running away from they guards, tugging me close behind.
The soft breeze now whipping past me, the soft and gentle snow now piercing through my soft skin. This once calm morning coming to turmoil as I run for what seemed to be my life. Running out of the palace for several minutes, I start to feel my legs grow weak.
Why are they chasing us? I don't know. What's running down my face? Wet snow, tears, blood? I don't know. Will I die on this snowy day, my birthday? I Don't Know!
Black. Everything is black. I can't see a thing. My face feels a though i've been slapped with a cold, wet, brick. I seem to have fallen, slamming my face into the snow. Struggling to push myself up with what little strength I have, feel someone tug harshly at the neck of my coat, bringing me to my feet.
My mother had picked me up from the ground, now trying to run whilst dragging me behind. Still in my daze, the world blurry, I look at the ground. Red. I think nothing of it until my cheeks no longer numb from the cold start to burn. Now feeling light headed, hardly able to stay balanced I realize that's my blood.
During this, the guards seem to have caught up to us. Their thunderous footsteps quickly growing near.
