Phoenix Maplewood and i hope she’ll be a fool

A child of the Welch family was never unguarded. They were precious. Rare. Valuable. Like treasures sealed in a cave. So why in god’s name would someone leave Blackberry Welch, the most beautiful treasure of all, unguarded in a land of strangers?

It was supposed to be a fast business trip of sorts. Blackberry was accompanied by the best ambassadors of the court, hand picked by her father himself. No one would ever imagine her being left alone. But here she was. For whatever reason, the princess was left without her knights.

She waited for a bit, thinking that they had only went on a hunting trip. The sun fell on the first day, then the second, and there was still no sign of them. And when that sun rose on the third day she began to panic.

Blackberry stumbled through the woods like a newborn deer. She was unsure of what to do now. Part of her wanted to sit and wait longer, for she too had not expected this. But another part, a small, dormant part in her gut, told her to take action. She just didn’t know how to go about it.
