What if !
Your eyes gleam with a mischievous glint .
You stepped forward , not knowing what your actions may prevail . You look at your blurry image in the mirror . You open the drawers and take out a silver scissor and a back mirror . You snip your hair into half without a further thought. Your hair which was once held in a ribbon was now lying lifeless on the floor .
You tie your cut hair into the ribbon packing it in a gift wrapper , with a sticky note on it , addressing it to be given to the prince.
You take out a vial , you cut graze your finger by pricking a needle on your index finger .
A drop of blood worth thousand powers for my freedom .
The ticking of clock fastens your heartbeat trying to lurch out of the ribcage .
It was sunrise .
New day was always something that excited you , wanting to do something different each day , indulging in new hobbies , enjoying life to the fullest .
" When will I be able to do that " .
" When will my life begin " .
You remember what the messenger had told you .
Listen and Mark my words , for i am not going to repeat them , you need to submit to my master and Lord , to be loyal to his highness , and present yourself .
" A carriage will be here , to pick you up , when the clock strikes noon , obey and you shall live in the castle or die like dust "
Did you really not have a choice

It's a leap of faith ,
That's all it takes ,
Risk it for if it's all you ever wanted .

You quickly shake away all uneasy thoughts , you take a shower , getting dressed , you pick up all important herbs , antitodes , bandages , clothes ,
You take your hoodie covering your hair , checking your disguise in mirror , you wear your new grey eye contacts .
You smirk at your plan and the gifts awaiting the prince .
You unlock the door finally saying goodbye to the anxious day to day life of hiding your identity .
.

You smile brightly , walking in the forest . You knew of a neighbouring kingdom that was quite close to yours . Living in the outskirts of the kingdom has it's own perks .
All it takes is a leap of faith .
