To Be a Princess I Prologue

by Venus in a land of broken dolls, bronze sunsets, and hearts that always loves true

*~Prologue~*

Emery looked at daughter with loving concern. "So what is her name, dear?" she asked her daughter Giselle. She thought for a moment gazing into the baby's unusual green-hazel eyes. "Laurinda." Giselle decided after a moment of thought. Emery nodded in aproval. "A name fit for a Princess!" exclaimed Emery. Giselle nodded yawning.

Giselle gave little Laurinda to Emery with great care. "You must take care of her. My time has come. I can't escape it any longer. They'll be coming. Only let her know when the time is right. I trust you Mother. Always remind her that I am looking over her!" Giselle murmured. Emery nodded, her eyes watering. This was never a fate that any Mother would want to see their daughter go through.

Then came the pounding. Heavy pounding was outside the door. Emery kissed her daughter one last time on the forehead before descending the stairs in the secret room. A shot was fired with the golden bullet - for royal assinastions only. Emery cringed. Half of her wanted to go back, the other knew what she should do, what she needed to do. Little Laurinda's fate rested in her very hands.

As Emery reached the bottom of the steps, as she was pushing the heavy brick door, she could hear the shouting of the guards looking for the baby. She looked down at Laurinda and without any hesitation, she ran into the dark, stormy, night.
