She looks down, at her feet, tears streaming down her feet. No one seems to notice when she cries, no one seems to try and help her. To her, her life isn't worth living. For them, they laugh at her clothes. They give her so dirty looks, but none seem to wave and say, “Hello.” All she wants to do is run and hide. To never be found, but when she looks at her father's eyes, she see’s one reason to stay. To help him, find his happiness that’s her only quest. Every day as she goes to school, she's known as the girl that should not be named. People have never spoke her name, for they believe if they do, they shall be cursed. They only person who’s ever spoke her name died the next day. That's when the rumors began about this little girl. She’s only fourteen, and known to curse the people of the village. No one trusts her, no one loves her, only her father. For he has came into her life two years ago, after her mother left her, left her in the woods. She never had faith of her daughter who wore all black, who cries every night looking for that one piece of her. She's seen him once, but he ran when he seen her. Poor Eleanor didn't have a safe place, she only had a place of doom. Eleanor had wished for many moons for the man they call “God”, to save her. Not once has he came. Not once has he answered her prayers . But one night, one fateful night, he has brought her someone. For he is a man, a man of his words. He looks at her, like he's proud to have her. Through, she's never been loved by anyone other than her father. She's not so sure how to feel about this. Though he says everything will be okay, like he's God’s son. He has problems of his own but he dares to take her on his journey. He doesn't want to see Eleanor cry one more tear another night. For he only wants to see her bright smile, looking up at him. For he truly loves her.
She walked in the empty hallway for the teachers didn't want her at school. Eleanor put her headphones on, blasting her music. She couldn't hear a thing, people threw things at her making her feel so worthless. Until he came, he who no one knows the name of. Only she knew his name, but yet she didn't dare speak it. And she won't speak it until she knows he won't leave her, like the rest. He's tall, about 6’4, he has long black hair. But his eyes they’re blue like an ocean blue after a storm. She wonders when he wraps her up in his arms if what this is, is true, and not a dream that she has no control in. She sighs, holding his hand, shivering as if it was winter. He stopped walking, taking his jacket off he gave it to her. His eyes filled with happiness as she put it on. As Eleanor smiled and blushed lightly, she put on his jacket, and held his hand once more. They don't speak to each other, for if they do something may happen. He doesn't want to lose her, for he is her queen in his kingdom. As for she, she’s still not sure how to feel about this. Her heart skips a beat each time he's near, but he never speaks and nor does she. It feels her with sadness how they can't speak. For this curse that's upon them keeps them so far from this feeling. She’s lost without words all she can do is hope, that one day soon she can be with him, speaking to him. That one day this curse will be broken. No matter what comes at her, now that she has him she’s stronger. At least that's what she thinks.
He walks her home, her father yelling at them both. She cried when she went inside, for her father doesn't like him. He doesn't like him because he makes her happy. He doesn't care about her happiness he only cares for his, and seeing his daughter with him makes him mad. She slammed her bedroom door shut, locking it, she hid in her closet crying. Her dog ran up to her licking her cheek, she laughed a bit. For her dog is the only thing to make her happy when she's home, she has a phone but if she text him her father would find out. That she just can't bare, she can't bare this pain it's bringing her. The fact she can't be happy hurts her. She got on her laptop to play a videogame, there the curse doesn’t exist. She can talk to anyone without hurting them, without making them hate her. She wonders why her life is so hard on her, why she just can't be happy. All she wants to do is cry and cry. No one can see her pain because she's always smiling, for her online friends always knows whats up. For they don't care who she's with as long as he makes her happy. They say online friends aren’t real, but they’re real to her. She feels so lost in this world, feels so lonely, she feels as if no one loves her. Yes, she's cut, and tried killing herself. But she's getting past that. No one can know her secrets.
While in her closet she found a door, a small door. She looked at it. “It looks like it needs a key.” Eleanor mumbled to herself. That was her new quest, to look for a key, a key to let her leave this world. She looked at her barking dog, as she had the key in her mouth. Eleanor was confused, how her dog had found the key so fast. This isn’t right. She thought, something was clearly wrong but she doesn't know what it is. She took the key from her dog, and put it in the lock. She unlocked the door opening the small door. She heard music, the type of music she loves. Her favorite song “Lithium - By Evanescence” played. Her heart skipped with joy, she crawled into the door, it was a long way. It took her and her dog about twenty minutes just to get to the other side.
She got up, looking around this new strange place. It was very colorful, but it was night time. The sky was a dark blue, the stars where a light pink, and the grass was a light purple. Something caught her eye, it was a young man, it looked like her man. The boy who has been there for the last couple of days. She looked at him, seeing him with a young women. She stared, not knowing what this was, she couldn't speak. For her mouth was sewn shut and her dog, was now a stuffed animal. She picked Amber, her dog, up. Sighing lightly, she walked up to him, and tapped him on the shoulder. He looked at her, he smiled lightly and brushed her hair out of her face. Eleanor’s face turned bright red, for it was the first time he’s done this. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him, he kissed her nose then backed away from her. Grabbing the young woman's hand he walked away. Hand and hand with her, Eleanor started crying, button tears, not real tears. For it's almost like she's a toy.
She cuddled Amber, sobbing softly, it feels like her heart has been torn to shreds. He’s left her once more, like all of the rest. Everything will be okay. Someone spoke to her, as if it was a mere whisper, but yet it was in her mind. Maybe she's just going crazy, or maybe this place is making her go mad. She sighed, Go away! She said in her mind, she doesn't have her mouth just stitches that are there. More buttons fell down her cheeks as no one replied, she wished she never came here. She knew this place was bad, but she wanted that one bit of hope, that bit of hope that was here. A male fox came up to her, nuzzling her arm, with a note wrapped around his chest. Through he was stuffed he could still move. She took the note off of his chest and it read: Even though you may not see me, I’m still here. Holding your hand through the darkest days. I may just be in your mind right now, but I will still love you, for you are my queen. And this is our kingdom. No matter what you see it’s not true my love, for I only hold you through these days.
The fox ran away after she had read the note, she sighed heavily for that sparked her heart. This is just another curse my love, for this you must not fail me. He whispered, for this is her one chance to prove herself worthy of his love. She sat there still holding Amber close, for now she needs to get her dog back, for she is the only key to help Eleanor. She left Amber by the rock, as she got up to find him again. To find the red male fox who help Eleanor once.
She came to a forest that's made out of candy. Who would've known there's a candy forest here? She laughed at herself for that was a stupid thought of hers. Eleanor walked into the forest, it smelled like magic. She seen chocolate, skittles, m&m's, butter cups, reeses, and so much more. As she was walking she heard a low growl. Eleanor turned around, it was a cute little panda bear. She smiled and reached out to the panda. It growled at her, a very hateful growl, for it can sense her curse. She looked down at it’s chest, looking at the note there. She picked some gumdrops from a bush, handing it to the candy panda bear. He looked up at her with this you-think-i'm-stupid-look. Leave! He screamed at her, for now she hears a small yelling voice in her head. She sighed. I need that note then I may leave. She replied to him, looking him into his eyes. He laughed at her, turning into a human. He’s 5’9, with short white hair, and his eyes, black as night.
Eleanor gasped, looking at the man in front of her. H-how did you do that?! She asked him, staring at him as if he were her new king in this kingdom. He smirt, placing a hand on her shoulder. It’s a secret dear, now leave before you get into trouble. She started into his eyes, they were filled with truth but she didn't want to listen to him, for it was only fair. She didn't know the way back for it was a trap. I need to find something to turn my stuffed dog back into a real animal. Button tears started falling down her cheek, for she really misses her pup. He wiped the tears off of her cheek, as he grabbed her arm pulling her into an embrace. Her heart jumped as her touched her, for this was wrong of her. Eleanor already has a king in this kingdom she doesn’t need another one.
She took the note off of his chest, he looked down at her blushing lightly. For she unwrapped her new hint/note. It read:
Dear Eleanor,
This here is your knight as I will always be your king. He will be there to protect you
