Anistasia also known as annie. I hate my names but, I only hate them because I don't want to be a girl. With my family thats not possible though. You see, I'm from a well respected family, The royal family. And, I'm ecxpected to marry before my 18th birthday. I'm getting all these suitors I hate though, I mean their nice but, They don't get it I don't want to marry. At least I don't want to marry a GUY. Ever since I was a kid my parents always tried to get me wear dresses and do my nails. Like the other girls would do. Though, I would always run from that stuff. Every time I ran from my mother I would go down to the stables with the horses and just talk until one of my siblings, father, or the maids and butlers found me. Though, when they didn't find me for hours I would go riding into the forest. I would always stop at my favorite spot. The river, and thats where I met her. She was the most beautiful girl brunette, hazel eyes, and short hair like a guys cut. Yet, It looked good on her it made her look like and angel. Ever since I was 15 I would ride down there when my family couldn't find me and see her. Sometimes she would come with bruises on her hands,legs and arms but with cuts to. I would also ask whats wrong but she would always avoid the subject.So, I stopped asking. We didn't just stay at the river though we would also head to town and look at all the things we wish we could buy but were way to expensive. Then, one day we went somewhere different. A cliff that shows the horizon and the small part of the town most don't see. And, said "Wait for me, I'll be back". I came to the forest a day later and she wasn't there. I figured that it wasn't the day for her. Then, about one week later every time I showed up she wasn't there. She stopped coming. I haven't seen her in two years. I still dont know what she ment by "Wait for me, I'll be back". What did she mean?
