stolen

My mother always told me that love comes in different forms; I didn’t understand that until now.
It has been two years since the human had taken over our lands. My kin and I were forced to be slaves to their kind. Many humans kept us like animals, left us in cages as the sun rose from the east. They laughed at us as our skin burned when the suns rises touched our skin. My family and I were some of the lucky ones that were tortured, instead of being prisoners. The human’s royal family were the people who choose to have my family as their own. My step mother was once there queen but the day she meet my father was the day she choose to die. The king had taken my mother and father as his own, their faces full of fear as they were dragged away by the guards. One by one my siblings and I were taken to the children’s rooms.
The smell of blood filled the air as I awoke from my deep sleep; all I remembered was someone hitting me at the back of the head. The room around me smelled like freshly cut roses and lilies. The walls were painted a shade of gold that reminded me of my father’s eyes. There was a large glass door that held a garden just outside of it. There were no windows in this room; I thought it was really odd that this room reminded me of my own. I didn’t notice the dark figure that stood in the corner until he laughed as though he knew what I was thinking. I do know what you are thinking; I have always been able to read your thoughts ever since I saw you two years ago in the garden. I screamed not knowing what was happening to me, was my mind playing tricks on me because I haven’t eaten in four days. “I’m sorry to scare you but I just wanted you to know what I could do when you’re around me”. His voice sounded so familiar, like I have heard him in my dreams once before. But I wasn’t dreaming now, I was really confused as I tried to figure out who he was. “Who are you?, have I meet you before….. Please don’t hurt me” I was so scared, I didn’t even understand the questions that come out of my mouth. I could hear laughter coming from the man; it was so filled of joy. The frowned on my face showed my annoyance towards his laughter. “I am Anthony and you are Sapphire Jane Cotton former princess of this land, you are also the love of my life even if you don’t know it yet”.
