She knew that today would be like any other but there was something so special in the air that day that she couldn't help but be cheerful. She went to her parents chambers to make sure they were there. "Hello Mother, Hello Father" Abigail said as she kissed their cheeks. "Hello Dear" They both said not looking at her. They just sat there doing paper work and talking to the men around them. "Are you two going to do this all day?" She asked "Of course we are the sooner we get this rubbish over and done with the better."Her Father said. "Well Ok, I'll be in the garden all day" She said with a smile. "Have fun darling" Her Mother said. She loved her parents, but they never paid much attention to her, after all they did have a country to take care of. Her Father was a huge man with a white beard and barely any hair on his head. He loved wearing his robe and crown all day and yelling at anyone in sight. Her Mother was a beauty and she sometimes wondered how her Father ever managed to get her. Her Mother had red hair but it was starting to fade. Her Mother has sparkling green eyes that she had passed on to Abigail. She got her looks from her Mother. Abigail went out of the room closing the huge doors behind her. She ran down the hall and grabbed a hoated cloak and put it on. She then hurried outside trying not to be spotted. She then ran to the front gates of the castle and ran out. No one had saw her, she's free for the day! She walked down the street and looked at all the people, all the proverty, and all the great merchants. It saddened her to see all the people begging her for change in the streets. If she had some she would have given them some money for bread, or maybe even a chicken leg, but she had none. As she stared at all the great foods she began to feel hungry but knew she had no money to pay for it. She didn't want to go back to the palace so soon because she had never been in the village before and wanted to experience it for herself. She then took off her cloak and held it underneath her arm. She had borrowed her maid's dress so she would fit in with the surroundings. Just then someone ran into her and knocked her over. "Are you alright?" A man stood above her holding his hand out to help her up. She took his hand and got up. "Yes I'm alright, why weren't you watching where you were going?" She said. "I was..." He said nothing he just starred at her. "May I ask why you are starring at me?" "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to. Please don't think ill of me it's just..." "No I do not think ill of you, just watch where you are going next time. Good day sir." She walked away hoping he'd follow her. He just stood there watching her. She sighed knowing nothing would come of it. He was the most handsome man she has ever seen in her life and she acting as if he were one of her servants. Just as she had given up hope he walked up infront of her. She grabs her chest. "Sir, you gave me a fright." "I'm sorry my Lady I just did not want to walk away without knowing a beauties name." "My name ,dear Sir, is Abigail, now will you excuse me" She walks around him. "Luke." She stops and turns around. "My name is Luke. You seemed to have forgotten to ask me my name." He said "I did not forget to ask you." She walks away wishing she wouldn't of been so cruel. She had been in the palace so long that she had seemed to forget how to treat people who do not work for her parents. She sees a small alley way to walk through to get to the other side of town and decides to go that way. As she starts to walk through it she starts to get scared. There were rats, garbage and it was so dark that she can't see the sun. She started to hurry but is stopped by a big tall man. "Hello there." The Man says "Hello, will you excuse me please?" "Such kindness, yet when my brother talked to you,you were mean as a snake." "Your brother?" "Luke." "Oh, him, I'm sorry Sir I did not realize." "Oh don't worry just do one thing for me and my men and we will forget all about it." Five other men come behind him smiling with rotten teeth. She starts to back up but they keep coming forward. "What would you like me to do? Clean for you? Cook for you?" Abigail says to the man. "No, we want you to be our whore. Dance for us, and pleasure us, and we'll be even." Abigail's face turns pale and she started to run the other way. The men ran after her and she is no match for the men. Luke appeared out of no where and grabbed her. "Leave her alone brother, she ment me no harm." Luke says. "Oh come on we just wanted to have alittle fun with her." "Not today, go home!" The men moan and start walking away. Luke looks down at Abigail who is holding on to him and crying on his shoulder. He picks her up hoping she won't mind. "Where do you live?" Luke asked. "Don't worry about it, I can find it there on my own." "No I'm taking you home they will look for you if Im not with you." "If I tell you, you promise not to say anything?" "Yes, I promise." "I live in the palace." Luke looked shocked because he knew that the King and Queen had a daughter named Abigail. He took her back to the front gates of the palace and by then it was dark out. He set her down on her feet. "Thank you for taking me home." "It was my pleasure." "Remember you promised you wouldn't tell." "I know I promise." "Goodnight Luke." "Goodnight Princess Abigail." She smiled and ran up to the palace. Luke watched her untill he could no longer see her and started walking back to the village. When Abigail reached the palace she went to her bedroom and laid down on her bed. She smiled and thought of Luke's blacker then black hair and his big blue eyes. He had dimples when he smiled and she adored them. She grabbed her pillow holding it as she had held Luke when he saved her. His muscles were very built and she wanted to hold on to them again. "Yes, I think I will go into the village again tomorrow." She said before she fell asleep still holding the pillow tight.
