The Ghost Princess Dream
There was once a princess who knew that she was going to be queen. She had no brothers, sisters or cousins to take the burden off her shoulders nor could her father and mother have any more children. They both had become untimely infertile and she was their only child thus there was no escaping the crown. Every time she had to think about it she would always close her eyes in dread. As she did not want to become queen.
One day both her mother and father fell ill at the same time. She wanted them to get better and that they would not die. Mainly because she did not want to inherit the crown. Yet they only became worse and worse. Then after only a month they died.
Both grief stricken and scared she ran away from her kingdom. She ran and ran until she came across a witch in the woods far across the kingdom.
"My! My dear, whatever are you running from?" She gasped.
Teary eyed she explained everything. When she was finished, she hugged and kissed her.
"My poor, poor child, you seem to have such an unfair and heavy burden. Here, let me help you!" She said as she pulled out a beautiful purple rose with a thorn with a purple tip. "Take this and once you get back to your castle and lock yourself in your room after your coronation and prick your finger."
She nodded and then she looked at the rose.
"Trust me, it will lift your burden." She said, patting the girl on her shoulder.
She then went back to her room and upon the night after her coronation, she locked herself in her room and pressed her index against the thorn. The next moment she collapsed. There on the stone she slept in an enchanted sleep, her body frozen in time for one hundred and fifty years. When she woke up she saw the dusty blond man looking down at her. She looked around her only to see that everything was in ruins!
That was when the witch appeared before her with her demeanour had changed. She seemed to be much more arrogant and threatening with victory in her eyes.
"Hello you fool! So you are awake and your burden has been lifted. After all, I killed your people just as I killed your parents and it all went just as planned!"
At this she took the blonds' sword and ran it through the witch, whose last act was to cackle in victory. She then looked at the blond who was very handsome with blue eyes and pale gold skin. He looked at her confused.
"What happened?"
She told him.
"Then my lady, come with me and I will give you a kingdom."
