      "Congratulations your highness, Oh my, she's gorgeous"The physician exclaimed, "She isn't crying, is something wrong with her" A woman said with a weak voice. "I don't know, your highness" The physician replied obviously terrified. It was not normal for a child to have white hair, shiny platinum eyes and even as a new born the physician considered her a rare beauty with her pale skin and simple movements emitting radiance. "let me hold her" The woman said. The physician handed her over to the woman "She's different I can feel it, promise me something" the woman asked. "W-what your highness"the physician gulped. "His highness will never accept this child so-so can please you adopt her"  the queen said with tears daring to come out of her eyes her voice cracking at the end "your highness w-why would you beg me, I'm just a lowly physician" she begged "No, you are also a mother so you must understand my pain, please, and if his highness asks, tell him it's a stillborn child, take her far far away where no one would look. I will arrange everything. Take her to Yugoslavia" the queen explained in her weakened state. The physician had no choice but to comply, this was the queen after all. "Please take care of her, my Elizabeth" the queen named the newborn child

      Elizabeth grew in the household of the old physician away from the eyes of everyone in the kingdom. Her beauty grew day by day and the physician was sure it was unmatched. Not long after conceiving the queen's child the physician herself had conceived two sons who were her only children. Elizabeth grew to be kind and modest, the look in her mother's eyes (the old physician) was of fear than of her brothers which was of love. She never questioned it though because she herself knew she was a taboo and her mother warned her that if she ever walked out, her head would be next on the scaffold. Fear crept into her whenever she thought of it. Her loneliness was always felt by her mother but she knew her mother was too much of a chicken to do anything about it. All that kept her busy was house chores but the thoughts of her stepping outside the world was inviting.
     Groaning on her bed the old physician called "Lizzy dear" in a screechy voice. "Yes mama" she replied. "Please make me a cup of tea" Miss Grumley (The physician) requested. She beared the name Miss Grumley because the man she loved left her after doing the deed saying she wasn't enough for him leaving her to take care of her two sons herself. She always cursed herself for falling for a man like himself.
     Elizabeth went and came back with a cup in her hands. "Here mama" she helped miss Grimley to get up "Thank you dear, It's like y-you get more beautiful every second" miss Grimley said with a hint of fear in her voice which Elizabeth failed to notice. "Come on, why aren't you on bed yet" miss Grimley asked. "Oh it's nothing, I'll go to bed now, Okay mama" Lizzy said sweetly as she walked out.
"Oh, Lizzy dear"
"what"
"Nothing, I love you, always remember that"
   Lizzy smiled at her mother's words.

     "No, no" Elizabeth ran through through the forest, running from who knows what. Screams echo from all directions which made her run faster than she thought she could. Sweat dripped down her face and she closed her eyes. She could feel a hot breath on her neck but didn't dare to open her eyes. "Open your eyes white. Let me see your beautiful eyes" the voice intrigued her, she so badly wanted to open her eyes and opening an eye wouldn't hurt right?. She agreed with her thoughts and opened an eye
   
    "Aaaah" Lizzy screamed. Tears streamed down her face. She was tired of this dream every night. She was supposed to get used to it but instead it got worse every night as it became more vivid and long. She always dreaded the night sky for fear of her nightmares. If only she could understand them.

    I put a lot of effort in my books and I would appreciate it if you can at least vote 💖💕

    P.s - I don't know the kingdom of Yugoslavia but it's real. I just used it for the story
