The Body Of The Princess
Once upon a time there was a princess, who had a best friend that was a witch. She was an older woman and she spent all of her time with her days upon days. As she did she would teach the girl all about her arts. The young and impressionable girl would marvel at her great knowledge and wisdom.
Yet she should not have. For you see the witch only wanted one thing and had been grooming the girl since the moment that they had met to give it to her. She did all to lure her in to claim it and that was none other than the girls' body. This way she would be able to be young and desirable again. Yet then came the day that she thought that the princess would be prime for her to ask it of her.
"Could you give me your body?"
"No!" The princess laughed thinking that it was a joke.
"I mean it. I have given you all this, now give me your body!" She shouted as she tried to use force.
Suddenly the princess became frightened and plunged a dagger into her heart.
"Now I curse you dear child now you will be removed from time and become part of another!" She shouted with her dying breath.
Then the princess found herself in some woods and went back to her kingdom. She soon found her father and to her amazement, he was nothing but a child! Seeing that she did not belong she returned to the woods and applied all that she had learnt to get back to her own time. Yet despite that she tried and tried and nothing worked and the years went by. She saw her own father grow into a man. She was even there when her parents got married and she was there to see her younger self be born.
Yet the moment that she looked into the nearest mirror she noticed that she looked identical to the witch! What use was she now? Why should she return to her own time now? So she then decided to enact a spell that would give her back those years. Yet still nothing worked! So she knew that she would have to think of another plot to get back all the witch had stolen from her all those years ago. She soon set her sight on her younger self, the version that the witch had taken away. She soon met the girl and in order to get close to the girl she gave the girl all that the witch had given her.
"Could you give me your body?"
"No!" Her younger self laughed. It was all too clear that, just like her, she thought that it was a joke.
"I mean it." She said to shut that down. "I have given you all this, now give me your body!"
She then used force to trap her and hit the girl.
How dare she? How dare she keep her from this! She thought as she strangled the girl. Then she felt something cold and sharp in her heart. Knowing that she was about to die, she felt a rage rise within her.
"Now I curse you dear child now you will be removed from time and become part of another!" She declared with her dying breath, little realising what she had done or who had taught her all those years ago…
