It’s Done

After the wedding we went into our chambers. It had a golden bed frame, and had exquisite paintings from all over the world by many famous painters. One painting in particular caught my eye. It wasn’t extravagant, in fact it was very simple. It was one of a girl and a boy lying on top of a grassy hill. They seemed so carefree, as if they didn’t have a care for the world. They gazed at the sky with a castle in the background. You wondered to yourself if Maria wasn’t there would Alex love you. You even wondered if you didn’t have this black hair would you have lived a carefree life like that. You start to question if he did ever love you. Deep inside you knew the answer to that. You were just a tool to him, a plaything. You say to yourself it doesn’t matter, he’ll be dead soon anyway. You wanted your entire youth on him so he’ll have to pay with his life. I hugged him. It wasn’t a hug of love. It wasn’t a hug of happiness. It was a hug of pure hatred and regret. And I think he felt it too as he trembled.

I hid a sword underneath my dress near my thigh. Nobody would search a lady near her thigh. Especially one that is married to the king. I quickly grabbed the sword and slit is neck. I saw how easily the blade cut through his thin, frail skin. I saw how the crimson red blood poured out of his wound. An electric jolt inside you body.

You start running outside crying. You had practiced your fake crying several times just for this moment. The adrenaline rushing through your viens. It made you feel alive. You felt that all the time spent planning had finally payed off.

You run toward a royal guard sobbing. And pulled his sleeve acting desperate.

“Please help me. His Higness he’s been assasinated.” You said stuttering intensively while sobbing.

The royal guard became flustered hearing this shocking news. He goes to the commander and reports it.

A while later you hear a sound.

“The King is Dead” the footmen announced frantically in the hallways of the castle.

Everyone is shocked. All the servants go to inform everybody. Nobody could have expected this. They take you to an interigation in which you are asked to tell them what happened.

*The lines are the stuttering - Author*

“A - person came -inside the chambers and -stabbed him” you said while furiously sobbing.

“Did you see how the person looked like?” The guards asked.

They seemed that they did not want to pester you after seeing something so horrifying.

“ It was definetly a woman- she was in all black- and had red hair- and blue eyes.” She said.

The guards looked at each other. They both knew who had those features. Sophie purposely planned to did this. Everyone in the kingdom knew that only Maria had red hair. Sophie deliberately said this to lead them on. She knew that Maria would always go on a walk around this time so nobody would be an alibi for her. Therefore would be executed.

“You may go now” said the guards.

A group of maids help you up and take you to your chambers.

“I want to be alone.” Sophie said.

All the maids knew that the king had passed away. They understood that she wanted to be left alone. They thought you wanted to cry alone.

You look in the same gold framed mirror from the wedding. You look extremely pale. Your white nightdress is stained in blood. Your beautiful face and arms have the blood of the kingdoms most treasured person. You laugh.

You wash off the dried blood with a washcloth. You see the white wolven sheet being tinted red while the crystal clear water turns murky. Deep. Red. You have never really learned to like the color red until now. A small smirk appeared on you face. You have finally done it. You have finally gotten your revenge.
