???'s Point Of View
A long time ago there was a family who ruled over the kingdom of Elemania. The mother, Destiny, was pregnant with four babies. Fire, water, air and earth, Destiny grew ill and soon she could not cope with the stress and pain of having to put up with this violently contagious sickness combined with the pain of four children pushing around in her insides. Soon enough, Elemenia grew sad and unhappy, many people were affected by the queens absence and so it turned out, Destiny would die of her illness and her crown would be passed to her oldest daughter. Me. I am Hope, Destiny had me when she was 21 and I am now 35 as you can guess, my mother has passed and it was not long after the quadruplets were brought into the world. And as you can tell, I have taken the throne but my father could not remain the king of Elemania as it would technically be illegal because I am not married to my father. Therefore, I was a queen with no king until my 'Prince Charming' came along. By the quotation marks you can probably tell that he was not really made for me, he was strong and powerful but I did not want to marry someone strong and powerful, I wanted to marry someone who cared about me as a person, not someone who is horribly selfish wanting power over everything. I was forced to marry him because of the rules, if a queen has no king they must marry the next in line to the throne from the closest kingdom. He would hit me, scream at me, slap me, kick me, harass me, rape me. I was no longer treated as a person but a slave, I was only allowed to leave the castle once a week and when I did I was under a strict time limit. If I was out for longer than an hour he would get annoyed and as soon as I came back he would hurt me all over again, and I know what you're thinking, "couldn't you just call the guards??" No. I couldn't. With me being the queen and him being the king, I couldn't do anything to stop him, Rule 74 of The Book Of Royalty Rules: The guards cannot do anything to harm the queen or king no matter what the circumstance would happen to be. Once a guard had to just stand there and watch him beat me up because he ordered him to and the poor guard couldn't do anything about it. I could just hear the muffled whimpers and shrieks from behind his helmet, 20 minutes later and I could see tears running down his armour. Yes this would go on for more than 20 minutes, it would go on for hours and wouldn't stop until he was tired. My dad was completely aware of everything but he still could not do anything, A: He did not have the physical authority to, and B: He was scared stiff of him, once he threatened to slit my throat if my dad came any closer because he tried to protect me from this evil, satanic demon. Oh and I bet you're wondering what this monsters name is, Damien. His name is Damien. The last words that my mother ever said to me were, "There's always A small glimmer of hope, never forget that Hope." Then she died, right there in my arms. I never forgot what she said. I got it tattooed on my palm and engraved in my brain. That's why I never lost hope, that's why I never killed myself, that's why I put up with Damien. Because I believe that there's always that small glimmer of hope and I know that my mother been right there by my side through all of the tough times telling my heart to never give up. She visits me in my dreams from time to time, not all the time but never do I feel that she's been away for too long. I have put up with Damien's bullshit for way to long to just loose hope now, and I never will.
