12 Princess
Jame Leenus has everything taken from her! Her family, her house and is forced into the palace. How will she survive?
Kingdom of Sylwyn 1325,
"And then you put your index and middle finger together and check the pulse. If it's too fast or too low that means something's wrong" my father finished saying.
We were sitting on two chairs that were facing each other. My father; Charles Leenus is the Kingdom's medicine man, he teaches me everything he knows. He also says I have a gift like him.
"Thank-you father, I appreciate you passing your knowledge onto me."
He smiled and touched my cheek "Jane why don't you go up to your room and practice your medicine for a couple of minutes?"
"Yes father."
I walked up the stairs and I had just closed the door when I heard yelling and someone beating on the front door. I opened my door and started running down the stairs when the front door was beat down. Guards from the castle started swarming in and aiming guns at my Father and Mother.
I hid on the other side of the stairs as my father yelled "Jane" and then gunshots. I heard my mother and father scream and heard their bodies fall onto the dirt floor with a loud 'thump.'
Tears started to stream down my cheeks and I had to put my hand over my mouth to stop myself from yelling out.
I felt as if those guards had come in and ripped out my heart and shattered it into a million pieces.
The guards were looking all through the house and finally one found me. He jerked me up and dragged me screaming from the house and threw me into a wagon.
No one else was in the wagon so I just laid there and cried. I cried because my beloved mother and father were killed. I cried because the guard's roughness hurt. I cried because I was being taken away from my home. I just cried and cried.
The wagon stopped and a guard slung me up over his shoulder, I didn't fight him. His gun was slung over his other shoulder and he was talking to some of his fellow guards, I didn't pay attention though.
I looked up and saw the castle that homed King Richard and his twelve sons. Why am I here? What could the king possibly want with me?
The guard carried me into a small room and set me down. I looked around and saw an old woman sitting in a chair in front of a tub. The guards left and the old woman stood up walked slowly towards me. She lightly put her hands over mine and brought me over to the tub.
It was already filled with warm water, steam was lightly coming up.
"Miss you must get ready" she said.
Ready for what? But I didn't ask. I took off my gown and got into the tub. I was numb, I felt like I was out of my body.
It was like I knew what she was doing but I just really didn't care. I was in shock.
She washed me and she did something to my hair. She put some kind of gown on me and added slippers. She held my hand.
I looked up at her as a single tear slid down my cheek. She looked up at me with pity "I'm sorry this had to happen to you dear."
I didn't know her but I hugged her, tightly and sobbed.
