Aless's pov

I woke up in a very dark room. All I remember is Aunt Lissa and I hiding in my room. Where's mommy? I'm scared.

"Hello? Somebody please help me!" I called out as I got up. My call echoed in the walls. I looked at my clothes and knew that mommy wouldn't be happy. My braided pigtails we're gone so my long hair is curly. Then my stomach growled. If mommy was here, I would have told her. But she's isn't.

I walked around the room looking for a door. I smiled when I see a gray door. I ran to it and tried to open it. I got even more scared when I found out it was locked.

Then I felt like the floor was rocking back and forth. I wonder why I didn't notice that the first time. The metal door opened revealing the same man with very red eyes, even redder than the apples mommy gets for me.

"Well hello, Alessandra. Your mother truly gave you a beautiful name." He said as he waves his hands around in the air. The rocking of the floor made me feel really sick to my stomach. Before he could continue his not so welcoming speech, I had vomit all over his shiny black shoes. At least we could always wash or wipe it off.

"Oopps!"

He made a face of disgust and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. His scary action made me feel like wanting to hide. Then he threw me out the door. I went flying with my screaming. I landed flat on my face and felt like crying because of the pain. The landing knocked the air out of my lungs and it really hurts.

He forced me to stand up and walk. And soon I found out that we were on a big boat... mommy told me once it's called...a yacht. We were in the middle of the ocean. Mr. Harold told me that oceans have names just like us. I looked at the ocean and couldn't see the ocean's name tag.

"Let me go!" Someone screamed. Luckily, Red (The dramatic stirgoi that kidnapped Aless and Lissa) took me to the owner of the voice. My eyes widened when I see Aunt Lissa trying to get out of the rope. Red pushed me onto the deck and I fell down again. I tried not to think of the pain. Then Red started to use the rope and tied my hands above. Y head to the flag pole.

I did not like the position. The cold ocean wind blew hard making my skin pale and cold.

"Red, can you tie me in a different position please?" I asked in my sweet little voice. My arms are hurting terribly. Red turned around and looked confused. "What did you just call me?" When he speaks I could see his white fangs.

I sighed and said "I called you Red. Because your hair is red so are your eyes." He looked offended and said "Because you are a little child I shall forgive you. And no, you will stay in this position until your time." I pouted. I was hungry, tired and wanted to sleep. Before Red could open the door, I shouted "I'm hungry!" I could see Red's big shoulders slumped. Why? I'm just being honest. Mommy told me to never lie.

He walked back inside the yacht and I looked at Aunt Lissa. She looked like she was asleep. Her pale skin was almost glowing because of the biggy moon we have tonight. Then Red came back with a tray of food stomping his feet to me. I licked my dry lips. The food looks so yummy. He set the tray in front of me and I couldn't help it, but say "Thank you, Red." Red sat down in front of me. I giggled when he was cutting up the vegetables for me.

"Are you cold, Red?" I asked wondering if everyone is cold because I'm freezing. Red didn't look at me and said "I'm always cold."

"Why don't you use a blanket, Silly!" I said and giggled.

That's what mommy always say to me.

I looked at the moon and remembered the book I once read called the moon princess.

"Red?"

"What!"

"Am I a princess?"

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because you weren't born into a royal family."

"Are you a prince?"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Same reason as you."

"Mommy tells me I'm her princess."

"Mommy and daddy never told me anything."

"Why?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?"

"Because I'm curious."

"Don't get too curious or you'll hurt yourself." The voice that he used with me made me stop asking questions. I looked at Red's red hair that looked so soft like a Teddy bear's fur.

Then Red fed me the delicious food and I fell asleep.

A quarter for your thoughts?
