Expect the Unexpected

16 years later . . .

It’s been sixteen years, sixteen years since you became a unicorn. You got used to the pony customs. The Crystal Empire grew dimmer. After the event of what happened to your father, you mother kept you inside the castle. She rarely lets you out of the castle. If she did let you out, your mother would be there with at least three guards surrounding you and your mother.

After the event, your mother became broken, the only thing that kept her in the light, was you. Yes, it may have annoyed you and yes, you felt lonely but, you didn’t mind it. You just wanted to make your mother happy, that why you were so obedient all those years.

You’ve been woken up by a knock on your door. You rubbed your eyes, yawned, and said come in. Your servant, Velvet Rose came in with your breakfast.

She bowed and said, “Good morning m’lady” and gave you your breakfast. “I’ll start your bath your highness”, Rose said and walked to the bathroom.

After you finished eating, you went to the bathroom and went into your bathtub.

Rose Velvet bathed you while you thought about something, “What is the matter your highness?”, Rose Velvet asked.

You looked up at ceiling and said, “Is this daily routine going to be part of the rest of my life?”.

“I don’t know how long you live but it seems like it”, Rose Velvet replied.

After you got out, Rose Velvet dried you off with a towel.

As Rose brushed your hair she said, “Maybe you should talk to her about it princess”.

You sighed and said, “I tried like a million times by now but whenever I try to confront her about it, I look into her eyes and I just change the subject, I don’t know what to do.”

“I’m sorry your highness, but I have to go, we can talk about this tomorrow. Your tutor is going to come in a few minutes”, Rose Velvet said as she bowed to you and walked away.

“Why am I complaining? I am being treated like royalty, well cause I am one. Why should I be complaining? All mom wants is to keep you safe, which means locked inside the castle, pretty much a cliche from some Disney movie.”, you thought.

You want to tell her so badly but at the same time you didn’t. It’s time to make up your mind.
