She didn’t know how long she had been there or even where there was. One moment she had been safe in her castle, watching the battle from the north tower, the next she woke up here, chained to the walls.
Her entire body felt sore, whip mark scarring her arms. Scarring….how long did it take a cut to scar?
She had been a princess, a ruler of sorts, but she had only been the face. The kingdom was run by the shadow castle all her life. Her father had died in battle and her mother giving birth to her. She was raised by the council, coddled and spoiled. Groomed into the perfect puppet. Once she was of age she was supposed to take the crown as queen, though nothing would have changed. She did not know how to do anything on her own. She relied on the council for everything
Now she was alone, no council, not even the familiar walls of her tower room. Just darkness and murk.
Every night she’s fall asleep hungry, and would wake up full, with no memory of eating.
She found it strange, even without eating that she remembered she seemed to be gaining wait, slowly as time passed.
Then one day she felt a kick inside her stomach
She woke up screaming. It hurt, it hurt so much. She felt like her organs were being constricted. Then it subsided. She had barely caught her breath when it happened again, and again, over and over, getting closer and closer together. A dark figure pinned her down to the bed and another grabbed her legs, forcing them open
She didn’t understand. She had not seen another person in what had to have been months and now they showed themselves. She was barely able to see them though, her eyes closing every time she screamed. Something was coming out of her.
A baby’s cry rang out to meet her own and she opened her eyes
A baby? She had had a baby?
She didn’t understand. The council had never told her how babies were born. She didn’t need to know such things. And yet somehow one had come out of her.
She barely had time to recover from the shock when she realized they were leaving. She cried out for them to stay but with a loud thud the door closed, and she was alone once more
~900 years later~
Lilah scoffed “Go out with you?” she said indignantly “Sure, and I’ll just go flush my reputation down the toilet while I’m at it” the girls around her all laughed as she turned, giving the boy the cold shoulder
“Can you believe it?” She asked, not even caring if he was gone or not “Like there was anything that could ever make me want to date someone that looks like that”
Lilah Evans was the Queen here at Vanta Heights. She was the head cheerleader, the president of the student council and the three time winner of the Hottest Girl in School contests held on the school’s facebook page. When she walked through the halls everyone moved aside. She had dated almost every guy on the football team, more then once.
As she sat here in the cafeteria, surrounded by her posse she was getting stared from half the guys in the room. Many of them went to comfort the boy she had just rejected, congratulating him on having the guts to approach her, while celebrating his rejection because it meant she was still single
“Are you going to date Daniel again?” one of the girls in her group, glancing across the room and giving a flirty wave to the captain of the football team “I hear he asked you to prom”
Lilah yawned into the back of her hand “Nah, you can have him” She said, looking at her nails to make sure they were still perfect “I’m kind of bored of him. I only dated him because of the sex. Otherwise he’s not that interesting”
The warning bell rang and she got up. When she turned she bumped into someone who was walking by.
“Excuse you” she said, scowling at him
“I…I’m sorry miss Evans” the bespectacled boy stuttered, not able to look her in the eye
“Oi!” she snapped her fingers in his face “My eyes are up here, pervert”
The girls behind her laughed “What a little perv” one chimed in and the other added in their own insults
The boy ran away
Lilah rolled her eyes “I mean really. This school is going to the dogs.” She flicked her hair over her shoulder “What class do I have next?”
“Chem…Chemistry” the girl who spoke was the only one not on the cheer squad as well as the one who hadn’t chimed in when calling the boy a pervert. She was skinny though she wore nice clothes and designer classes. Lilah’s own personal nerd that she had dressed up like a doll
“Did you do my homework?” she asked looking over
“Yeah, here it is” the girl held it out
“I don’t want it. Why would I carry my own homework, you can carry it there with my books”
Lilah walked to her class, the girl following behind her. Lilah wave and flirted with some of the football players as she passed them before walking into the class. She walked to her usual seat, which was taken and snapped her fingers
“Move” she ordered, the girl getting up and changing seats, giving her a dirty look
Lilah sat down and the girl set her textbook in front of her before taking the seat beside her
The teacher came in and droned on about something boring and chemical and Lilah didn’t really listen
“Ok, time to assign your lab partner for the rest of the semester. Under your chair you’ll find a card with a word or picture on it, find the ones that go together, that’s who you’re with”
Lilah held up her hand “Mr Misser, I want to have Annie as my partner” she said looking at the teacher
“Sorry Lilah, you’ll have to do your own work this time” the teacher said, rolling his eyes
Lilah scowled, pulling the card out from under her chain, looking bitterly at the picture of an apple.
