Cold air. A slight breeze. A wisp of material flapping against my naked
skin. All things I shouldn’t be feeling this time of night.
I reluctantly opened my eyes and caught an unfamiliar dark world
around me. Silver light streaming through the tops of tall trees was all that
cut through the heavy darkness… I closed my eyes tightly.
I’m dreaming. I must be, for my last memory was staring at the red
canopy hanging above my bed, wondering why I felt so different from
others.
Another chilly breeze blew, lifting my thin nightgown and twisting the
delicate material around my legs. It made me aware of the hard ground
beneath my bare feet. A sharp twig, broken leaves, a thin layer of frost.
I inhaled a shaky breath and smelled wet soil, rich earth. At the same
time, the sounds of the forest tickled my ears. Crickets, an owl hooting in
the distance, the rustling of nearby bushes.
Fear gripped me.
This must be a dream, for I would never go into the forest at night and
barely in the day, and that would only be if I had the King’s guard escorting
me. It was far too dangerous, especially with Sodon’s attacks growing
closer and closer to my father’s kingdom.
I pinched my arm hard, hoping to wake myself from this nightmare, but
I only felt the sharp sting of my actions. Shit. If, by some strange
circumstance, I really was outside the walls of Loreen, then I better get the
hell out of here.
I opened my eyes, and my heart dropped into my stomach, along with a
wave of apprehension. I was still standing deep within the bowels of the
forest, surrounded by trees and shadows of the night. I spun around, hoping
to spot something familiar, but with little moonlight, I didn’t know where I
was or how far I’d traveled from the castle.
I’d been known to sleepwalk over the last couple of years, but I’d never
traveled this far! Besides, how could I have passed the guards without being
spotted? If my father found out, someone might lose their head.
This thought startled me into action. I didn’t want anyone hurt because
of my seemingly careless actions.
Rolling my shoulders back, I chose the path most lit up by moonlight
and hoped it would lead me to the castle. I didn’t want my father, King Eric,
to find out about this as he worried way too much about me, but I feared
someone may already have noticed my absence.
