All I wish is to escape from here. Away from the cruel horrors, free from binding chains. Every night, I dream of this, to flee from this malevolent castle I am forced to dwell in. But perhaps, this is it. This night is a different night, for the moon and the stars seem brighter than usual, the trees and wind seem more carefree, and my heart seems immensely determined.
Carefully, I glance about from my low balcony window, eyes ever wary for a sharp guard. The lights are all off in the citadel, perhaps only a few guards and myself awake. I pay particular attention to the silky green dress I am forced to wear, so as not to tear it in the least while I climb over the balcony- a whole three feet off the ground. My slippered feet greet the courtyard with forced kisses as I land.
I look to see the gate to the lonely field I once roamed. It's calling me back, wanting me to join it once again and be united with nature once more. I take off my soft shoes, revealing to the world my delicate feet to freeze and puncture. With little more than slight, sneaking slaps, my feet bolt away, leading my body back to paradise. Past the courtyard filled with exotic plants and water fountains through the area where all the public butts in during a normal day I travel.
I approach the mighty gate, slowing my gaze to look upon it. This wretched creation, the foul object that one day came and captured me in its jaws, sinking its morbidly honed teeth into my soul. The face upon it, ironically, is of my own kind. My kind being the owners of the ghastly Cait Sith.
I scan the scene once more, then open up the gate. A furious wail erupts, and soldiers file out, ready to recapture me. I push the doors and dart through them, scared to death but longing to retrieve my own agency.
I enter the field, long lush grass caressing my feet instead of injuring them. A sparkle catches my eye as I escape. I turn to head for it. A fairy ring, with tiny beings dancing around it.
The soldiers continue to come closer, not realizing they are far too late. My dress returns to pure white, my hair transform into a golden color. I disappear into the Hill, my pursuing adversaries left to wonder.

Piece I wrote for :iconthe-literati:'s writing contest. It's based on the third option, a picture of a girl running away. I used Irish myth as well (Cait Sith and Hill <as in where fairies live)

Hope you all enjoy it! :bounce:

I really like this ^^ The language is really descriptive and vivid, and the story is interesting. Just enough to keep the reader interested, but not too much to bog us down with plot.

Change "usually" at the end of the third line to "usual" and I'm happy ^^ Oh and fix escapee, first line.

That thing is probably some sort of raw sewage container. Why don't you go ahead and rub your face all over it?
