Tomorrow would be my eighteenth birthday. That meant at the stroke of midnight I would be heading out the back ruang tempat tangga, tangga and into the vast forest that surrounded the palace walls. I probably wouldn’t have the urge to explore if I was told why I couldn’t leave these four walls. The grandfather clock rang twelve times marking twelve ’o’clock I climb out of my window across the roof to the back ruang tempat tangga, tangga that had a plethora of cob webs since no one had used it in ages. I quickly made it into the forest and ran as fast as I could till I reach the end where a crystal lake laid in front of me. I sighed before looking back because the gates that kept me isolated for the past eighteen years wouldn’t anymore. I heard a rustling in the semak, bush so I grabbed my long ivy green ballroom dress and ran as fast I could in my silver heels. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going, but I felt my head strike something and as I continue the warna began to blur as the ground became closer.
