Snippet #1638300

Swiftly jumping out the window of her room, Pandora ran like a bat out of hell into the surrounding forest that connected the castle and the nearby town. She knew it wouldn't take long to get to town but she still ran as fast as she could. She needed to get as much distance in between her and her home. 'Life in luxury is best my ass! I hate it! But soon it wont matter 'cuz this time I'm gonna be free!' Pandora smirked at the thought as she pushed herself to run faster. After about 15 minutes of running, Pandora had made it to town. Before going out into the open she pulled her cloak in tighter and soon became just another cloak in the crowd. 'Some food, a two canteens of water, and I'm outta here...Father more than likely knows of my absence by now...The guards should be coming soon' Just as Pandora was purchasing her last canteen of water, she saw two guards a few stands over show her picture to different vendor owners. Moving as quickly, yet as least suspiciously as possible, Pandora cut her way through the crowd, trying to get to the far forest. Glancing quickly behind her, she saw the man who had sold the canteens of water, point directly at her. The guards looks to where the man pointed and immediately jumped into action when they saw their princess trying to get away. 'Crap!' Pandora thought as her quick pace turned into an all out run. 'Just keep running, don't look back! Just keep running, don't look back!' she chanted in her head, but of course she had to look back. Right at the moment she turned to see how far behind her pursuers were, Pandora tripped over a pebble and landed face first onto the ground.

When she looked up to meet her doom, four guards had already surrounded her. Not wanting the town people to see their princess in such a mess, the guards acted as if she we a common criminal. Two of them roughly grabbed her by the arms while the other two tried to get the forming crowd to disperse. "Let go of me you thugs! I didn't do anything wrong any you know it! Let go now!" Pandora screamed as she flailed her arms and legs. She tried to fight them off and was getting angered that the other two guards were trying to disperse the forming crowd, but what angered her more was that nobody did a thing to help her. They just stared, some in amusement, some in disgust, others with just blank stares. Looking around at a last attempt to get free she saw a strong looking man and a beautiful woman pass by."Please! Help me! I didn't do anything! I have been framed!" Deciding to play the part of a criminal, Pandora begged and pleaded, hoping she these people would help her.
