"His Fate"
The princess’s jealousy and barbarism had driven her to make the decision for her loved one, to pick the door with the menacing beast. It was a hard choice for her to make, especially when she has spent months loving him and only him. She was jealous, envious even. Envious that in the end, she could not have him for herself. Which had forced her to think that if she couldn’t have him, then nobody could have him.
As the time came by for the youth to pick the door, she watched his every move, the way he breathed with uncertainty, the way he was silently asking her which door. She raised her hand by the right door, knowing that this will forever change her life, her lover caught the movement and walked to the door and opened it.
Then it was when the tiger came out to make her realize how cruel she had been. She watched in horror as the beast scratched her lover to death and it pained her to think that she was the cause of this. Yet, he belonged to her first, not the lady behind the door, her .
She heard chuckling from beside her and looked over, the sound belonged to her father. She watched as he took this as no other death, without any significance, not even sparing a single glance of sympathy.
“Father,” she cried out, “How could you be so heartless?”
“What’s gotten into you, my princess?” He was confused by her sudden change of feelings towards the event.
“He meant something to me, and you just disregard it?” She shook her head and ran out of the arena, ignoring the calls from her father.
Walking past the onlookers, she made her way to the familiar castle where she called “home.” She couldn’t bear thinking about seeing anyone else, especially her father.
She locked her doors, shut her blinds, and threw herself on her bed. Her emotions were all over the place, and she could not believe that she was the one who caused all of this just because of her jealousy.
The princess was depressed for days and days thinking about how just the movement of her hand decided the fate of her lover which brought her over the window. She jumped, jumped because she could not take the pain, jumped so she could finally be happy with her lover.

ReplyDeleteNice job Darya. You had really good word choice, and I really did not expect it to end like that while I was reading your blog. You totally fooled me!
ReplyDeleteGood job Darya, I agree with Jack. You do have an excellent selection of word choice. I like how it began, and ended. The girl ended up not being able to have the guy because he died. So she committed suicide, which somewhat reminds me of Romeo and Juliet.
ReplyDeleteYou did a really good job, I really like your plot twist. You had a really good word choice which made the story sound even better. Just wanted to point out that a title of a short story is quoted.
ReplyDeleteGood job Darya! I really like the ending. You had me thinking she was just sad, but then the ending got me.
