I woke up to the beautiful sunrise outside I looking at my decorated room full of flowers books and paintings and I look at my calendar that was in the corner of my mirror, that my father has bought for my last birthday,and made a vanity with it. I hopped out of my bed excited for this day, I was turning 7 today I ran into the kitchen but was stopped by the oh so familiar arms that cared for me since I was a baby.
"where do you think your going my little raven"he said slightly picking me up and bringing me to the living room our house was very small but fitting for me and papa. the kitchen was connected to the living-room and a small hallway that led to our bedroom that faced each other on opposite sides of each other.
"Papaaa" I groaned in defeat "I'm not a baby anymore"I huff out
"Oh your not how old are you exactly?"he asked playfully
"I turn seven today"I say twirling around happily papa starts to cough he's been coughing here and there, but he tells me not to worry but I just worry so much
"well I want you to get dress and play outside while I get somethings ready"he asked I huff wanting to stay with him because most of the village kids don't play with me after the witch incident "why don't you watch the royal carriages ride by or go and pick some new flowers,go on i want this to be a surprise."he looks at me pleading me to agree while trying to push me out the kitchen I nod my head in agreement.
I leave the comforts of my home to be bombarded with a crowd of kids. I peek through and see the royal carriages I see the queen and her daughters waving at all their little admirers. I decided to leave the crowd and walk to were ever my mind will take me.It was weird for my father to suggest I look at the royal carriages he always despised the queen when I asked why he said for reasons and would always look upset so I would change the subject.the royal carriages would always make their way through my village on my birthday everytime I had no interest in them so I would always stay by papa. I stop walking and realize I'm far from the village and I see a tree nearby so I stop and sit under it until I was disturb by a bunch of voices.
