Genevieve
The forest is unfamiliar to me as I wonder around lost. My horse grumbles at me and I pat her neck to calm her. Its been days since we've seen anything close to civilization. Which means it has been days since I ran away from home to save my family. My heart constricts at these thoughts. The wound is still much to painful to bare. I had to leave otherwise my family would be taken off of the throne.
Ever since I was a child I've been able to do things other humans cannot. Up until recently I didn't realize exactly what I was considered: a geomancer. A race of people that everyone ostracizes from society. The why part of that is people are scared of them. Scared of what they can do. Correction: What I can do. I am one of them; therefore, I'm considered evil. Right off the bat I can't be trusted of people know what I am.
To top it all of I'm the Princess of my Kingdom Athenor. If it were to be discovered that I'm a magic user I would be killed and so would my family. People still hang on to the belief that its passed down within families. But sometimes, although it is rare, it can happen randomly to people. I'm an anomaly that most would want to keep a secret. Before I left I had been discovered by a servant. He threatened me with my secret on several occasions: taking away my innocence in the process. I had to leave to save myself. At least now people will think he is lying...maybe.
The forest runs out and all of a sudden I am in a clearing. The sun is currently setting in the horizon. I can see a Faerie Island floating above the sun. It is a beautiful sight and I smile. All of a sudden I am knocked off of my horse. I hit the ground hard and stars enter my vision.
"Ahhh, its a pretty little girl." Says a man above me. I cannot make out his face.
"By the looks of her she is rich." Another chuckles beside him. I am roughly picked up and thrown over the man's shoulder, "We are gonna have fun with you tonight, lass." I let out an ear piercing screech into his ear. Suddenly I'm on the ground again. I stand quickly, despite the dizziness I feel, and run towards my horse. Once there I grab my sword. It is heavy, but I know that it'll keep me safe.
"Stay back!" I yell as the men advance towards me once more. They do not listen to me and then they run at me. One runs straight at me and the other to the side. I stab one of them in the stomach before the other tackles me to the ground. Blood is now all over me and it makes me want to gag.
"You little bitch!" Exclaims the one that has been stabbed.
"You shouldn't swear around a lady." I spit.
"You won't be a lady after tonight, my dear." The one holding me whispers in my ear. I shiver at his words. Disgusted by him.
