It had been years since the king had met Ellie, they had bonded greatly since their first meeting. At least, the king thought they did. He decided he was ready to ask her the question.

"Ellie, darling?"

"You know I don't like that name, my lord."

"I've been telling you to call me Henry. Anyways, may I ask you a question?"

"Yes, my lor- Henry."

"Will you mar-"

"No, I refuse!"

"What do you mean?"

"I've heard that sentence many times before and it always ends in 'marry me', I will not marry you! When I first met you, I told you I did not seek that lifestyle and I still do not!"

"You will marry me, for I am your king," He snarled.

"King or not, I won't marry you!"

"You have to!"

"I would rather be killed than live like a trapped bird."

"Fine then, remember you asked for this."

"Do it then," she dared him, eyes flashing.

He pulled out a knife, preparing to stab her. He hesitated, handshaking. No, he could not do it, he could not kill another. He had killed so many, he couldn't take another life.



Avery was extremely upset when she found out that Ellie had lied to her.

"I don't want a new mother!"

"But why not? You seemed to enjoy playing with Ellie."

"She lied to me," the child said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Years passed, and the new queen still kept her promise to the king. Every day, for years and years, she would try and escape but always she would fail. She was trapped. All was hopeless.
