The Caged Princess

Chapter 1

The Day It All Changed

Once upon a time I met a hero named Aaron Johnson, he appeared as a regular guy at first but who would have known he would have powers. Powers who can free Scarlett Sky who has been caged for so long. I was the one who freed him from his loneliness and depression while being his light and his reason to care about people around him. But at the same time, I knew I couldn’t love him the way I wanted; I was in a deep relationship with Stefan Alexander at the time I loved him but the way he treated me was not love.No man in the world should treat a woman with abuse and force me to bow to him and obey him like a dog, Aaron Johnson taught me that. Aaron Johnson knew this and day to day he tried to win my heart to prove that better people are out there that love is something pure not hateful. Scarlett Sky is sick of being trapped in a rusted cage for more than 2 years without anything to eat or drink. “You won’t even let me out of this nasty old rusted cage to use the restroom,” said Scarlett ”Cause I know you will try to run away,” said Stefan.

I’ve been missing from my kingdom for 2 years straight. When I was taken I was only 16 years old. Now I am 18 and my birthday is a week away. I'll be turning 19. I've spent 2 birthdays being trapped in this cage. One day someone will rescue me. I don't know who I’ll be rescued by but I know one day I will be rescued if I am not dead. Am still wearing the same red dress I was wearing the day I went missing and the necklace I've gotten from my father and mother on my 16th birthday. The day I was confirmed as a princess is the same day I have been taken from my home, my family. Today is my birthday. I am 19 now. I have now been held captive from my kingdom and family for a total of three years. I should be spending my birthday with my loved ones, not you. Scarlett Sky when you find out who I am you will realize I was one of your loved ones that loved you very much when we were together at your kingdom or my kingdom just remember one thing Scarlett I was your loved one that would do anything for you. I don't know you,`said Scarlett Sky “My sweet Princess you do know me,'' Said Stefan Alexander. One day you will see my face. When you do see my face you will know who I am and you will remember that we had a very strong relationship. And a bond together I hope you're doing better without me being in your life again. " Princess Scarlett I loved you and I will always and forever love you just want you to know that" said Stefan.

Chapter 2

The Capture

How was I taken?? After nightfall, I was taken while sleeping peacefully in my room. The first thing I felt was a warm blanket over my head. I began to wonder about the thought of having a strange dream where I was in a large cage and heard a man talking from the other side. He was hoping that my family noticed that I had been taken. I wondered what the man had planned for me. After a while, the man told me his name. He said his name is Stefan Alexander. He then asked me “What’s your name??” My name is Scarlett Sky and I am 19 years old. When I was taken the moon was high in the raining dark scary night sky. Stefan Alexander could be torturing me he could also be using me as a bargaining chip against my family or probably the other kingdoms since my kingdom is more powerful than the others that are out there in the world. He Could be talking about ransom on how he could become the king and my kingdom.

Scarlett Sky could hate Stefan Alexander maybe eventually fall in love as they both begin to know each other and he treats her more like a Princess but what her family and kingdom don’t know is that Stefan Alexander is her ex prince he’s abused her and has treated her very badly. Scarlett Sky didn’t know that Stefan Alexander was her ex prince until he took off the mask. When she saw his face she couldn’t look at him anymore because of what he had done to her in her past. When they were together she then went off on him confronting him about how he had treated her. Stefan Alexander, you have abused me for two years straight when we were together. That is why I left you cause I was so sick of getting abused by someone I loved very much I don't ever want you back in my life ever again. You have hurt me away too much when we were together.

I was in love with you Stefan but am not in love with you anymore. My family and kingdom could be worried sick about where I am at. I am Stefan. They need me, you need to let me free and let me go home. They probably think I'm dead somewhere in the woods. Stefan, everyone in the kingdom means a lot to me and I mean a lot to them and everyone in mine in my kingdom will be joined together and they will all defeat you and save their Princess. My army is so powerful that you won’t be able to hide or escape.No heaven or earth will save you no matter where you run away to wherever you disappear. My army will hunt you down and find you.The kingdom is family. Just so you know my Prince keeper of my heart and soul. He'll come looking.

Chapter 3

His Prisoner

One night Stefan took me out of the cage but he kept me in his dark cave that was our friend's hangout place during the summer when we had nothing to do. " We came to this cave when we were together so why bring me here??" said Scarlett " I want you to remember the good things about us when we were together my princess," Said Stefan. I remember our times together, the good times and the bad times we had in the past when you treated me like a princess. After that you treated me like a dog that should obey you then you threatened me saying you would kill me telling me I would never be able to see my family or kingdom again. Did you know you saying you're going to kill me that's tempted murder and if my kingdom finds out about this they will lock you up in the dungeon and you would never be released? This man I once knew, a loving man, has now gone crazy.

Kill me? He can't be serious. The guards will find out if he does or not and my kingdom will never let this go."It wasn't all good" I sighed, as I stared at the cage bars."But I guess this is the only thing that will keep the good memories forever.." As I sit here staring at the cage thinking about my family thinking about what would happen to me in this cold dark cave freezing and Starving. "I know it wasn't all good" Stefan shouted, as he crouched by the cage, "but that ended when you disobeyed me. And a disobedient pet must go in its cage. "Monster!" I shouted, crying, "I don't even know who you are anymore. You have changed since we've been together.” Stefan laughed as he threw his head back, "Princess, princess, princess...You have no idea."

He hit the cage in anger, making me jump in fear. 'I need to get out of here, 'but how? He walked back to his chair with a smirk plastered on his face as he took his knife out of his pocket and dangled it in his hands. I looked at him with tears rolling down my cheeks, "Please.." I whispered. "Begging will get you nowhere" Stefan stated, looking at his knife then back at me, "Begging gets you in trouble. The punishment for begging is I get to put my mark of pain on you...Wherever I please. So, PLEASE, beg some more. You are my blank canvas and I'm feeling crafty".I backed away from the bars once more. 'How could he do this?' I thought, 'Has he gone mad?.. I need to get off here most how some way..NOW??

Never beg someone to love or be with you, because when you do, you give them the power to use and walk all over you, never beg to be loved, don't try to force things with nobody. "Stefan if you beg someone to do something they will hate you and never forget you at all you can get your self in so much trouble by begging someone to love them or begging someone to do something for you" said Princess Scarlett. Never beg for a relationship be brave to accept the one who really wants to be with you is out there and reject the one who just pretends to be with you just never beg someone ir anybody to be with you.

Chapter 4

My Failed Escape

I looked at my surroundings to see where my exit was and what I could use as a weapon. I should check what's in the cave, as he already has a knife. Maybe a rock or stick would be enough..."You are oddly quiet, my princess" He said, staring at me intently. I looked into his gaze as I slowly blinked. Stefan stood up from his chair and sat next to the bars."Don't go looking at me like that" He whispered. I looked at him confused. I tilted my head against the bars and looked at him, "You know the look I'm talking about.." I huffed as I looked away. "We can stay here for days on end and not talk.

That sounds nice doesn't it?" He sighed, as he turned his whole body towards me. And that's when an idea hit me. Make him open the cage while looking at him seductively. "That does sound nice, actually" I chuckled, biting my lip as I looked at him. Stefan looked down at my lips, then at my eyes. I know that I am your ex prince and you are the smartest girl I know so I know that you know I still love you from when we were together. I only kidnapped you from your castle cause I still love you and your new prince just to see if you still have any feelings for me. I know it's been three years since I kidnapped you from your home, your family, and your new prince. "I've been here in this cave and caged for about 12 months, 207 weeks, and 1452 days," said Scarlett.

I need to find a way out of this cave. I am cold and hungry. He only feeds me once a day in this cold dark cave. I could have died in the cave because of the cold and Starvation. He hasn't even given me a blanket to stay warm. How would my family know if I am alive or dead?? They wouldn't know cause I have already been here for about three years now and if my family is even looking for me they haven't found the cold dark cave yet or maybe since it's been about 3 years they Probably think i'm dead with my lifeless dead just laying somewhere out there in the snow Storm. I could die of starvation in this freezing cold darfish himself.

Am 19 years old and am almost 20 years old and I am still here in this freezing cold dark cave. I could literally be dead right now. In a dark cold cave with my family knowing that I am dead. This cave could eat me alive if it really wanted to. My family probably thinks i'm already dead because I am out in the freezing cold dark cave that smells like total death like there is more than one dead body in this cave." Are you hiding dead body's somewhere in this cave or do you kidnap people keep them in a cage for a while then let them out of the cage and kill them and eat them?? Why haven't you done anything to hurt me like you do to those other people" said Scarlett.

Chapter 5

My 20th Birthday

Happy 20th Birthday Princess. You have made it to your 20th birthday lucky enough to be still alive and still be with me in this dark freezing cold cave of wonders and now since your 20 your family has no right looking for you cause you are practically an adult so you can live alone with me in this cave.

Stefan Alexander, I was supposed to be crown queen today but now since my family thinks i'm dead they are probably going to crown my twin sister queen i hope they know i'm not dead “Your family thinks you're dead” said Stefan Alexander.

“Stefan, how does my family think i'm dead and please tell me” said Scarlett. “ Well i did all of this for your sister i didn't want to cause i still loved you but she bagged me to cause wanted to be crown queen on your birthday so i did it so she could be crown queen i only did it for her cause i kind of had feelings for her around that time cause she looked like you said Stefan Alexander” “Stefan why would you do something like that to me we were good friends after our break up now since my sister is crown queen she is going to marrying my boyfriend i love my boyfriend so why would you do something like that to me “Your sister isn’t marrying your boyfriend so don’t worry about that” said Stefan Alexander.

“Who is my sister marrying then?'' said scarlett. “Scarlett, I'm sorry to say this but your sister is marrying me so say hello to the new king from your kingdom,” said Stefan Alexander.“You are marrying my sister, becoming king of my kingdom, and now you're saying the guy, my ex, that kidnapped me is the new king to my kingdom?” said Scarlett. “ You mean my kingdom cause it’s not your kingdom anymore. It’s mine and your sister's kingdom now” said Stefan Alexander. When my family finds out that you and my sister are behind this you both are going to be kicked out of my kingdom forever and I will become queen and my prince will become the king.

Stefan, I am going to tell my family everything you have done to me in this freezing dark cold cave that I have almost died in 3 times this year.I am the evil one in the family. You and my twin sister are the evil ones in the family and in the kingdom. Stefan you are so lucky that my family and i let you stay in the kingdom after we broke up and you want to have the nerves to go behind my back to be with my sister maybe for all that i know maybe you were cheating on me with my sister no wonder why she looks like she is pregnant you didn't want to have a baby with me so you cheat on me and have a baby or get my sister pregnant with your baby when that baby should be in my tummy.

We only made love twice the first time you used protection. The second that you didn't use it, you got me pregnant and I told you a week later that I was pregnant. You told me to get rid of the baby when you know I don't believe in that. So what’s so different with you letting my sister keep the baby when she is pregnant, but you told me I needed to get rid of the baby that I was carrying. “ Because I wasn't ready!” said Stefan Alexander, “I was not ready to love another like I did with you. When you told me, I.. I couldn’t bear it.. “ Tell me the truth, I know that's not the truth,'' said Scarlett” yeah you're right i should tell you the truth, but you are going to hate me,'' said Stefan Alexander. He sighed and looked at me.

“Stefan, I already hate you.This feels nothing of love to me, You portrayed me..and you hurt me. So tell me.. Why this?.. Why now?..” said Scarlett. “ The truth is that I never wanted to have kids with you. We weren’t the ones for each other. You weren’t the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with,” said Stefan Alexander. “Is this why you broke up with me cause I wasn't the one you wanted to have a family with… o-or the one you didn't want to spend the rest of your life with? Is this why you are cheating on me with my own twin sister? It really doesn't matter because you and my sister will be banned from the kingdom because of what you did and how you have hurt me in the past and from the day you kidnapped me..Just so my sister could have been crown queen.

Let me guess, you are going to her coronation tonight.. to watch her be crowned queen? “ Of course I’m going. I have to go to the coronation tonight because I am her prince that is going to be crown king” said Stefan Alexander, “but Scarlett you are going with me.. You will need a disguise so your family doesn't know that it’s you.” “Who am I going as then?” said Scarlett. “You will be going as my sister or cousin.. You pick. It’s your choice,” said Stefan “ I’ll go as your sister if you're okay with that but you know my family is going to know it’s me because of my birthmark I have on the back of my shoulder. They can see the birthmark through anything that I wear.

Trust me they will know that it’s me they will know that I am alive if they see my birthmark on the back of my shoulder” said Scarlett, “ I know you don't believe in that but you have to trust me on this' ' said Scarlett.“Do you want to stay here alone then?” said Stefan “No i don't really want to stay in this freezing dark cold cave all alone… p..please don’t leave me here alone. I-... I'll go,”said Scarlett. “ When we are there, don’t say a word to anyone at all.Do you hear me? You can only talk to me.” said Stefan. “I-I won't say a word unless I'm talking to you,'' said Scarlett. Still beautiful, still how it was from when I last saw it.“ Omg there is prince Aaron Johnson, my prince. I miss him so much he is looking straight at me. What should I do ? ”

Chapter 6

3 Years Later

It's now Valentine's Day and I'm still here with you in this dark freezing cold cave, surprised I'm not dead yet from being in this cave so long freezing and starving. Valentine's Day is the day Aaron Johnson and I started a relationship. It's now been 3 years we've been together but he probably thinks I'm dead or still looking for me. My new prince Aaron Johnson I would never give up on looking for me. I have hope that he's still out there looking for me, just like my family. I know they won't forget about me because they love me too much to forget about me they're always there when I need them.

I have hope that they'll find me. I'm surprises my family didn't know me at my sister and ex-boyfriends coronation to be crown king and queen of my kingdom after what my sister and ex has planned in to kidnap me that came down will never be theirs and the kingdom is mine and we're always be mine even though I'm not crown queen. When my family finds me they will be banned or be sent to the dungeon for life and will never get out after what they have done to me keeping me in this freezing cold dark cave, starving and dying of thirst.

My coronation to be crown Queen will come once my ex and twin sister are locked up in the dungeon. I'm also going to let them both starve and die of thirst just like they let me be locked in a rusted old cage. Bird cages are made for birds. I'm not a bird, I'm a human. Maybe the love we had for each other is still in my veins but I don't know for sure though one day we'll find out. But if the love we did have is still in my veins I will never forget what you did to me and how you hurt me.

Love is a strong word to use when you've hurt somebody in the past. Sometimes the word love can numb people especially people like me when people like you put a princess in a rested old bird cage. And you have been in my way since we broke up. There's no need for you to be in my way or not together no more One other thing no more we're friends so just get out of my way. You have screwed up what we had You're the one that messed up You're the one that did put my sister wanted and get me kidnapped so I wouldn't be crowned queen of the kingdom.

I probably ain't ever going to go home, probably going to be in a dark freezing cold cave or forever probably till the day I'm dead but I just hope my family knows that I love and miss them so very much my family's everything. Maybe some people would care about you more and like you more if you want a cold-hearted person who people have grown to hate these days. I'm a true believer. I'm not afraid no longer just made me stronger to see the nature of you and how you became a queen kidnapper.

I don't want to talk about us stuck in the motion of the past I don't really care what you think about from the past you and evil person you don't deserve to have somebody and your life if you're going to treat them the way you treat me when they break up with you for things you did wrong it's not right. Maybe one of these days you'll let me go free out of this freezing cold dark cave to be with my family that loves me.

Another day has come and gone and you're telling me how to carry on and people have asked me what I need over the years and I always say my prince and my family but that's never going to happen again cuz you took that away and brought me here in this freezing cold dark cave where I stay in rested old bird cage no wonder why you call me the caged princess cuz I'm in a cage and I'm a princess Is that what you're going to call me for now on is the caged princess. The damage is done. You keep on haunting me in this cave. I do know where I belong but you did me wrong from the past till now.

I will never forget what you have done in the past. I will forgive you one day but it's going to take a while for me to forgive you and to trust you again. Trust is a very strong word when someone has to try their hardest to trust you again because of all the damage you have put on me and my family. Though I have been here in this freezing cold dark cave with you for a while now I don't think I would ever forgive you now. I stopped being me such a long time ago. I can't even remember who I was before I got kiddednap.

I am the one living in a cage trapped in a rusted old bird cage. I feel the pain deeper and sharper and atrocious only if I could snatch him out of the mind set he is in right now he would maybe let me go free one of these days. Someone deep inside me that's screaming ambitious girl is still caged of stigmas and to allow her to live her incomplete dreams at least for once. I am a girl who lives in a cage a rusted old bird cage where i get a treatment like a queen but am no queen am a princess but still unhappy because i lived in a cage ina rusted old bird caged i can only feel the breeze but can't go in the woods and near the trees gets everything but still has nothing to make much memories about how i was before my kidnapping.Can someone just let me out of here??

If I die in this cage I won't ever get to see my family again and my family won't get to say their goodbyes to me cause I'll be dead in a bird cage in a freezing cold dark cave. The heart of the sweet soul is caged in a cage. The heart of that soul is trembling, bearing every pain frightening in fear in order to breathe her last but the evil has trapped her in a cage. The soul is crying in pain but the evil is not leaving her alone. “ Stefan do you know the definition of caged “ said Scarlett “ I don't know the definition of caged” said Stefan “ The definition of caged is to live a life of wealth and luxury but to be without true freedom and happiness the synonym of caged is chained and enclosed” said Scarlett. Being chained and enclosed to a small space is really unhealthy.

Chapter 7

March 6th 2022 or February 28th 2022

Princess I am guessing you want to go home so bad cause you miss your family and prince. “Do you have a day all planned out and set on when you are going to set me free and let me go home to my family??” said Scarlett “ Yesss Princess i do have a day all planned out and set on when am going to set you free from this caged and this freezing cold dark cave and you will be really happy because you will be away from me” said Stefan “ Can you tell me what day you planned on setting me free or do i have to wait??” said Scarlett “ I’ll tell you when i plan on setting you free is on March 6th of 2022” said Stefan “March 6th 2022 is only a 9 days away” said Scarlett “ You have a week and a half until you will be set free from this freezing cold dark cave And free for me so i can’t ever hurt you again” said Stefan.

It's better to die fighting for freedom than to be a prisoner all the days of your life being in a nasty old rusted bird cage. The only real prison out there is fear and the only real freedom out there is freedom from fear.” My Princess freedom is unlikely to be lost all at once and openly it is far more likely to be eroded away bit by bit amid glittering promises and expressions of noble ideals.” said Stefan All this excitement of being let free is making me hungry can i get something to eat i am so hungry may i please get some food i really need something to eat. I’m excited about what the future will bring me on the day I am set free. There is an excitement in creating a life rather than maintaining a life that is excited about living a life and my past life i will be getting back to after I am set free.

My past is my past, it made me who I am. I have no regrets and wouldn't change a thing. I just don't live there in that past anymore. I'll be a changed woman, a changed Princess for the rest of my life. “ Stefan, your past mistakes are meant to guide you, not to define you. Some day we will get past this and become great friends again. I just know it just don't kidnap me again you will earn my trust again may take awhile but you will earn it back i just know you will ” said Scarlett. Trust means the reliability, truth, ability of strength of someone or something relations have to be built on trust. “ Trust takes years to build seconds to break and forever to repair.”

said Scarlett Am honored to be set free on March 6th of 2022 my family will no longer think am dead because i'll be going home in 9 day it kind of still feels like a month until i go home but it only 9 days away until i can go home to be with my family that i miss so very very much i can't wait to see my family in a week in a half. Family is always there for you no matter what happens, family is everything. Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten. My mother used to tell me that when push comes to shove you always know who to turn to, that being a family isn't a social construct but an instinct.

My father once told me when a princess is lost or goes missing she always finds her way back home even if it takes forever for her to find her way home she will try her best to get home to her family that she loves. Family isnt always blood; it's the people in your life who want you in theirs, the ones who accept you for who you are, the ones who would do anything to see you smile and the ones who love you no matter what happens in your life. Just knowing that the day i will be set free from this old rusted bird cage and this freezing cold dark cave makes me feel like the happiest woman alive just a week and a half away and i get to go home to see my family and my beloved prince is there waiting for me to come home with open arms i feel like i am already at home safe and sound but am not March 6th 2022 is just a week and a half away i can hang in there i just can't wait to be home again and to sleep and my warm bed with my prince once again.

“ Scarlett i should tell you that your father is no longer with us anymore” said Stefan “ What do you mean my father is no longer with us stefan what are you talking about??” said Scarlett “ When i was at the kingdom the other day to see you sister i have been told by your mother that you father has passed away from a heartacted and that your sister isn't taking the news of your father passing to well so i might just set you free a earlier than March 6th 2022 i’ll probably set you free February 28th 2022” said Stefan “ Stefan why are you tell me about my father passing now you could have told me the day you heard i didn't even get to say my goodbyes to my father and February 28th 2022 is only two days away for today wow i'll get to see my family sooner than i thought". said Scarlett.

I hope my family is doing okay with my fathers passing.“ Scarlett, your mother knows you're here with me. I told her I found you in the woods three days ago,``said Stefan. “ Why did you tell her that?? You lied to her you kidnapped me you should tell my mother the true or i will when i go home i'll tell my mother that you and my sister planned on kidnapped me so Sophia could be crowned queen tell her the truth” said Scarlett “I’ll tell her the truth i promise you that I’ll tell her your sister planned the whole kidnapping out and i didnt want to do it but Sophia made my do it” said Stefan “Thank you Stefan you will only get two weeks in the dungeons for telling my mother the truth of how it really happened Sophia Juith will get three years in the dungeons” said Scarlett.

Chapter 8

The Truth

The truth is still the truth even if no one believes it a lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it or not a lie is something you have to tell the truth about at some point you have to tell the truth cause if not one day you will just let it out for the world to hear. “ Stefan you have to get the truth out of my sister on exactly why she wanted you to kidnap me so bad all i know is she wanted to be crown queen” said Scarlett “ I will try my best to get as much as the truth out of your sister as possible and i will let you know what she say” said Stefan Alexander “ Thank you i will take as much as i can of the truth from my twin sister you can get out of her” said Scarlett. The whole kingdom will find out the truth on how my sister really is only because she is a selfish person because she wants the whole kingdom to herself. She thinks everything in the kingdom is hers.

She thinks she rules the kingdom but my twin sister does not rule anything at all she doesn't even own much. “ Stefan my Prince we need to plan on how we are going to kill my twin sister Scarlett she doesn't deserve to be here on this earth here in my kingdom” said Sophia Juith `` We are not killing your sister Sophia she is the true Princess she should be the one who was crowned Queen she knows what a Queens jobs is you don’t…What's one thing you know for a Queen's job??” said Stefan “ I rule the kingdom and tell people what should and shouldn't be done.” Sophia said “ Yeah your sister knows more than you she is the real princess she the real Queen and will alway be” said Stefan.

“Princess Scarlett you won't believe what your sister has said to you” said Stefan “ What did she say about me Stefan??” said Scarlett “ She said ‘we need to plan on how we are going to kill my twin sister Scarlett she doesn't deserve to be here on this earth or here in my kingdom’ “ said Stefan “ You both were planning on killing me cause i don’t deserve to be here on this earth or deserve to be in my own kingdom when am the true Princess and the true Queen of the kingdom next time you talk to her you should just ask her if she knows the difference between Princess and Queen” said Scarlett.

“ Hi Stefan” said Sophia “ Sophia what’s the difference between Princess and Queen??” said Stefan Alexander “ The difference between Princess and Queen is Queen is the consort or the wife of a king on the other hand Princess is the daughter of the King and Queen.That all i know” said Sophia.

“ That is very nice to know Sophia” said Stefan “ Princess Scarlett didn't know much at all'' said Stefan “What did she say when you asked her Stefan??” said Scarlett “ She said Queen is the consort or the wife of a king on the other hand Princess is the daughter of the King and Queen.

And she said that is all she knew about the difference between a Princess and Queen.” said Stefan Alexander “ Thank you again for asking her that for me thank you for telling me cause i know you are someone that wouldn't ever tell me stuff like that so thank you” said Scarlett. “ You're very welcome Princess Scarlett. I will try my hardest to earn your trust back in your heart.” said Stefan. “Thank you for getting the truth out of her, thank you for helping me out, you have some trust in your heart from me” said Scarlett “ Your welcome Princess Scarlett.” said Stefan Alexander. “So what’s your side of the truth on kidnapping me why did you do it when you didn’t want to do it at first what made you change your mind what made you want to kidnap me” said Scarlett.

“ You are what made me change my mind about kidnapping you cause i still loved you and you didnt love me i know you didnt love me cause you moved on and found someone else that takes better care of you better care then i have ever did i my whole life of being with you.” Said Stefan `` Stefan you may have hurt me in the passed when we were together but you have always tried your best on taking care of me you were always there for me when i needed someone to talk to our friendship is ever going end it just going to take a while for me to trust you once again with our friendship and Stefan thank you for telling me your side of the truth” said Scarlett.

`` Princess Scarlett, why is trust and truth so important to you??” said Stefan. Trust to me is important because trust is tender aspect of all relationships it requires us to be valuable and it's usually because we've come to understand that what we share with people is not safe with other people if you don’t trust them that well and truth is important to me as well because the truth matters to the both to us as individuals and to society lifes as a whole being truthful means that we can grow and mature, learning from our mistakes truthfulness makes social bonds, and lying and break to your family or other people breaks the trust you have with them trust and truth is everything in a friendship and in a relationship. Trust means honesty is a person telling the truth like you and my sister did today and truth means state or quality of being true to someone. “Stefan trust is an amazing person like you who tells the truth about something they did wrong that they should tell the truth about you did a great thing and told the truth” said Scarlett “Scarlett i guess i am an amazing person for telling the truth” said Stefan.

Chapter 9

Freedom

February 28th 2022 is only a day away until I’ll be set free from this freezing cold dark cave and from this rusted old bird cage. I just want to be set free. I want to go home and see my family be safe and sound where I belong. Freedom is about being so truly, madly & deeply attached to your own soul that i can’t bear if only for a moment a life that doesn’t honor my own then i wouldn't be set free i wouldn't be going home to my kingdom. Be free from fear for god path not given us a spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind of freedom and i often find myself complaining about freedom i envy how much feel like a bird i can go anywhere in the world but then i realize i can’t cause my not a free princess yet i am a caged princess.

It may be my last day in a rusted old bird cage but I just want to remember this cave as mine and my friend's hangout spot during the summer when it’s warm. The two worst last days of my life knowing that my twin sister Sophia planned on the kidnapping and was also planning to kill me. At some point I have to realize that some people in my life can stay in my heart but not in my life. People that stay in my life are real people and real friends. People that stay in my heart but not in my life are toxic people that treat you like a bird. “ Stefan you setting me free to gone home in like a day later to my kingdom to be safe and sound with my family and prince that loves me forever” said Scarlett

“ Your family and Prince loves and misses you so very much you only have a day left until you're set free” said Stefan.

“ Scarlett yesterday when i was at the kingdom your mother and prince said they are coming to look for you so you're probably be out of here by the end of day” said Stefan “ Your telling me my family is out there right now looking for me so your tell me they will find my here is this cave inside of a rusted bird cage” said Scarlett “ My princess your sister and I told your mother where your at” said Stefan. “ So my mother now knows that you and my sister are behind this whole thing of the kidnapping” said Scarlett.

“ Yes your mother know your sister and i are behind this but your mother is not mad at me cause i told her i have be taking go care of you she is mad at your sister your mother kicked your sister out of the kingdom she told your sister not to ever come back to your kingdom” said Stefan.“ My mother kicked my sister out of the kingdom well i guess that is better then sending her to the dungeon” said Scarlett “ I told your mother your sister wanted me to kidnap you because she wanted to be crowned queen” said Stefan “ So what is my mother going to doing to you now since she knows you are that one that kidnapped me because of my sister” said Scarlett.

“ Your mother said she is only going to send me to the dungeon for two years than she said i have to help around the kingdom and after two years in the dungeon your mother gave me the job of being your bodyguard only cause i know so much about you so after two years you have to start calling me by Mr. Alexander or Kingdom Protector” said Stefan. I have no use for a bodyguard but I have very specific use for two highly trained certified public accountants for a bodyguard. A bodyguard is for someone like a movie star or singer who is only a Princess.

“ Having a bodyguard is just a part of being famous. I think a Princess can be famous for having a bodyguard??” said Scarlett “ My Princess you can be famous for having a bodyguard a bodyguard is only to keep you protective of you only cause how many fan you have out there cause so many people out there love there Princess.” said Stefan. “ Stefan do you want to hear a poem if a Freedom poem” said scarlett “ Sure why not tell me a poem i’ll be honored to hear a freedom poem from a beautiful Princess like you” said Stefan.

Freedom poem: All i want is freedom is that too much to ask all I want is freedom to forget everything in my past all i want is freedom to never feel that way again all i want is freedom to love you my own way all i want is freedom to make all my fears go away all i want is freedom to say I love you all i want is freedom to hear you say I love you too. “ Princess that was an amazing poem and you love me i love you too.” said Stefan “ Stefan its just a freedom poem chill out.” said Scarlett.

For far too many years I lived the life that other chose for me; a captive of thoughts that were not my own but I fought of self-discovery, and I’ll fiercely guard this liberty od soul. “ Stefan did you know freedom is like a dog without a leash to hold it back from it running through grass or a person with a passport to wonder the whole world and what wonders it has like a person driving on the highway with the wind blowing their hair back not having a care in the world” said Scarlett. Free to make the right choices Right to do anything until endangering something Everyone has freedom but everyone has limits Everything has their time of freedom Don’t lose right to have freedom Our life depends on freedom My freedom is when i think about my kingdom. But I don’t want comfort I want my family back I want true love. I want freedom out of here I want goodness I want to forgive my past.

Chapter 10

Am going Home am free

Today is the day I’ll be a free woman free out of this rusted old bird cage.“ My princess today is the day i let you free or the day i keep you for one more day until your mother comes her to find you so she knows for sure that i am the one behind this kidnapping” Said Stefan “ So your just going to keep me here in this freezing cold cave and rusted old bird cage until my mother comes to find me in a place like this but i am still being set free today right ” said Scarlet “ Yes princess you are still being set free on my terms'' said Stefan. I’m coming home. I'm coming home to tell the world I’m coming home to let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday. I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes.

“ Stefan take me home take me home and leave me there think i’m gonna cry don’t know why think i’m gonna sing myself a lullaby feel free to listen feel free to stare.” said Scarlett “ You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been” said Stefan. “In this kingdom we are family love each other laugh a lot sing out loud do hugs, smile share good things forgive quickly do i’m sorry show respect play nice, play fair do the right things do your best say thank you and please honest with one another keep your promises be truthful, positive and humble” said Princess Scarlett to herself.”

I wonder how much longer it’s going to take until my mother or my prince comes to find me. Just wait in there a little bit longer mom and your prince is coming for you “ my inner self said to myself. We deserve people in our lives that love us and care about us a Princess like Scarlett should have so many people in her life that loves her so very much a Princess alway needs some kind of a family member around the all the time Princess Scarlett is a strong person she doesn’t always need a family member around her cause she is so strong of a person.

“ Princess Scarlett, your mother and prince is here outside of the cave i am going to let you out of the cage but you are going to sit on the rock until i say to get up do you understand me” said Stefan “ I’ll stay on the rock until you tell me to get up” said Scarlett. “ Is this the cave” said Aaron Johnson “ Yes this is the cave” said Scarlett’s mother “Should we go inside” said Aaron Johnson. “ Aaron, you go inside and save our beloved princess,” said Scarlett’s mother. As soon as Stefan Alexander opens the rusted old bird cage Aaron Johnson walks in the cave and sees Scarlett coming out of a bird cage.

“ She here is Mis. Sky you can come in just stay near the opening of the cave he had her in a bird cage” said Aaron Johnson. “Princess Scarlett you may go to your love of your life and your mother” said Stefan “ I miss you both so very much” said Scarlett “Princess Scarlett what do you want to do with him” said Scarlett’s mother “ Send him to the dungeon for two year until he realizes what he has done wrong” said Scarlett. I am so happy i am finally going home so happy to be with my princess and mother once again.

It’s been the worst few years of my life but as soon as my family and Prince and i walked out of the cave my beloved Prince got down on one knee and proposed to me with a beautiful diamond ring i of course said yes to marry him cause i love him so much. We are heading back to the kingdom. I was so happy to be home where I belong with my family but the entire time I was kidnapped the whole kingdom was changed. “ Wow it’s been awhile it’s so beautiful” said Scarlett
