Princess Rosaline was running at a mad dash pace. Her dress torn as she was scraped by brances off old trees. She hadn't bothered to notice where she was running, she just had to get away! She would never marry that awful Prince Garin! Her father had given the Prince her hand in marriage, and she was to be wed tommorow, though at this very moment she was foiling the plot.
She groaned as she tripped,falling face first into the dirt. She sat up, the fall forcing her to stop and finally take a look at where she was going. Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth as she screamed. She was in the Haunted Forest. She hadn't even bothered to realize where she had been running and now she was very far in. The wind made the old trees groan and it seemed like they loomed over her, ready to attack.
She stood and began to walk, hurrying but not trying to get the trees attention. It seemed silly, but she had heard the stories of people who entered the forests and never came back. They said that wicked spirits inhabited the land, and that the trees devoured people who ventured too far in. She was so lost in thought that she didn't bother to see where she was walking. She tripped over a root into a tangle of brances. The trees were going to eat her!
She struggled her way out, running, and running, through the dark woods, into the enchanted glade. She stopped almost instantly when she stepped over a threshhold, everything changed. What was once dark and grim began amazingly lush and lovely. The trees were healthy and bright green, a small pond had such crystal clear water, and there was all manner of wonderful animal life. It was enchanted, a place in all this darkness still pregnant with the beauty and wonder of joy and life.
She moved to the water, kneeling down as she began to wash her face and dress. When she looked back into the water, she saw a reflection behind her. She gasped, quickly turning to see who it was.
