“Take your shot, stranger. You’ll only get one.”
Start or end a scene with this line of speech.
Queen
I stepped out of the flooding room and walked along the cobble stone floors. Then and loud boom filled the passage way. I ran up to the doors that had been locked for seven years.
“Take your shot stranger, you only get one,” I called. I pulled the dagger from my worn boot and held it behind me back just in case.
“Princess? Is that really you? Are you really here?” A strange male voice called.
“Get down hands behind your back,” I yelled stepping into the dimly lit entrance way where my blood still lay smeared along the stone.
“Your, alive? So, the rulers are true? Why did you leave?” His voice called back of tears of terrible conditions. I could say any different for myself.
“What’s it like? You know, up there?” I asked.
“You want to know? Come along with me and I’ll show you the mess you left behind seven years ago,” a large grin played across his face. His eyes alleared to be looking through me.
I pulled another dagger from my sleeve and threw it backwards whilst I threw one at the man inground of me.
Two scream filed the room. That last two screams ever that I had heard in seven years. I sighed and pulled the daggers from each of the men, leaving them in the floor and exiting the dungeon.
When I met the surface what was once castle was now exposed to the open sun. Absolute destruction had became of my kingdom.
I pulled myself out and saw my crown on the floor. It had been there for seven years and not. A soul had taken it. They where to afraid to venture back here.
I turned around and saw the miserable landscape. The even sadder people living in it. I ran up to the edge of the marble floors and looked down. There where all my dresses. I guess someone was brave enough to come back.
I smiled and jumped of the platform, rolling into the thinly wooded forest. I was finally queen and I would do whatever it took to prove my power over the evil. I was queen and that meant I could do whatever I wanted. I was going to save the world.
