Dance for the King
Dancer
She had smiled at her mother when she had left the castle that had been her home her whole life. She had tried to smile even as she and her maid had ridden towards the keep of the man who was to be her groom.
Where had it all gone wrong?
As afraid as she had been to marry, she had vowed that she would. Instead, she sat staring out the arrow slit that served as a window for her and several other dancers. From the slit, she could just make out the gate where the head of her horse adorned the wall.
A tear slid down her cheek.
Shaking her head, she stood up and straightened the almost shift like gown that she had been given to wear. It marked her as the dancer she was. Dancer, not the princess she had been born. She had been made into a dancer. She would likely always be a dancer.
She could only pray that her mother never knew.

Alright so I know these chapters have been really short, but I honestly don't know how to make them longer so I hope that you can forgive me for that!
