the little princess

as a kid

Once upon a time there lived a little princess. Her name was Zoey. Zoey has blue eyes and black hair. She is a little short for her age. She is also pale. She lived in this big castle, and if you looked at it at dawn or dusk you would think that it was pink. At this time in the story Zoey is six years old. She had school and her rural duties to do. So when she got the chance, she would hide in her bedroom. Zoey wasn't a normal little girl though. She could not see without glasses or walk.

    Zoey had gotten sick when she was three years old. The king and queen called for a doctor when they realized that their little girl was sick. The doctor got her better, but they didn't know that she was paralyzed. It was a week or so after her fever broke that they tried to get her to sit up. She said that she could not do it because she couldn't move anything but her head. They realized then that she would turn her head to them, but would not look at them. They asked her why she done this, and she said everything was black to her.

    When Zoey was four years old she gained the use of her arms back. The doctor said that was a miracle, but that she would probably never gain her sight or ability to walk again. As Zoey gained strength in her arms, she was able to move around in her wheelchair at please. The problem with this was she had a bedroom on the second floor of the castle. If she got to close to the stairs she would have to be pulled back or she would fall.

    One day when nobody was around her; she got to close to the stairs and fell out of her wheelchair. Well as you know, she couldn't walk and at the time she was not strong enough to pull herself up the stairs. Even if she could have; she wouldn't have been able to get in the wheelchair. So she just sat there.

    Her nurse started looking for her a few minutes after it happened. After about ten minutes she was found and carried to bed. She stayed in bed for a whole week. While she was in bed; she started looking around. She realized that wasn't black, but was turning white. On the second day her vision went from white to white and really blurry black shapes. On the third day she asked for the doctor to be called. He said that she had gained her sight back, but she would have to wear glasses for now on. When she got her glasses she put them on and could see everything clearly. The little princess had a three year old sister that her parents adopted for her. Angel has blue eyes and brown hair. She is tall for her age.

    Three years had gone by; Zoey is now nine and Angel is now six. Zoey is still having to wear glasses and ride in a wheelchair. She has gained some feeling back in her legs over the past three years, but she can not walk. She don't have the strength in her legs or back to even stand up. And because she is sick a lot of the time she don't have the time to gain any strength. Most of her legs and feet are numb and they can't help it. Sometimes her arms are very numb to. That is when she really can't do anything.

    Zoey has just woke up from a wonderful dream, and she is filling around her night stand for her glasses only to not find them. So she got onto the floor still feeling around for her glasses; only to realized how badly she needs them. Her nurse came in and found her still looking for her glasses. The nurse's name is Karen.

    "what are you doing Zoey?"

    "Looking for my glasses."

    Karen realized she couldn't see the note then said "Zoey, that is why i left the room. I left you a note, but did not realized you wouldn't be able to see it."

    "What happened? And how did you not realize i wouldn't be able to see the note?"

    "When you was asleep; i was bandaging up your legs like i do every night. Well i knocked your glasses off the nightstand and stepped on them. It was an accident. I'm sorry, please forgive me."
