"Ugh, you retched beast, get your dirty hands off of me!" Princess Winter Blossom of the Kingdom of Armarlda yelled at the prison guard. "Ha ha, in your dreams, missy," sneered the prison guard. "Winter, let it go. He's only doing what he's paid to do." Princess Arianna stated to her adopted sister Winter. "I know, but he should be doing it on a dirty rotten scoundrel, not a beautiful princess!" Winter was mad; she is usually pretty good at keeping her language royally clean, but Arianna guessed that being thrown in prison can loosen up the tongue a little.

As Winter continued her little tirade, Arianna looked around their cell. Really, it wasn't that bad; not that she had enough experience in prisons to rate them, but she thought this one was pretty good. She took stock of what they had: 2 beds, 2 blankets, a rug, a bared light on the ceiling, and a bared window. While ignoring Winters rambling, she thought she heard a noise by the window. Rising, she started towards it. "And what are you doing now Ari? Hoping to get some fresh air? Nope, not here! Not in this rotten, dirty, -""Winter, would you quite it? I've had enough of your whining and complaining. As soon as father notices were not back from our picnic, he'll send for help. For now, be grateful these people, whoever they are, haven't killed us, and have also apparently decided to feed us." Arianna finished, seeing a maid pass something through the bottom of the door. "Thank you." Arianna said, only hoping the maid heard her. Looking down, she gasped slightly, followed by Winters own gasp. "Why, there mere crumbs! What are we supposed to do with these!? Drop all four from the ceiling and see which one lands first? Or maybe give them to the baby rats as a midnight snack!?"

As Winter continued, Arianna sighed, and, picking up the platter which did just have mere crumbs on it, she sat on a bed and divided them up, giving Winter 22 and herself 21. Taking her share, she popped them all into her mouth at once. She then decided that they were about as filling as half a slice of an apple; also as tasty as leather. Old leather.Sighing again, she calmed Winter down with a few words and handed her the remaining crumbs. Closing her eyes, Winter downed the crumbs with the small glass of water that came with the crumbs. "I'm going to take a rest, Win." Arianna said,stretching and yawning. "Ok, I'll take a hint."

Before her head hit the pillow, she and her adopted sister were out like a light.

It was probably for the better that they were asleep, as their kidnapper, or if you want to be more accurate, princessnapper, chose that moment to peek in the window of their cell. Had the girls seen him, it would have spelt the end of his plan; he then would have had to dispose of them. Grateful he wasn't seen, he quietly left, having other, more important, things to deal with.

So, I'm warning you now, I'm not sure when I will update this, as this is a story in the making, on paper and on here. I also may go back and change a few things here and there. Have a good day and God bless :)
