Lowering her body, she sat in a corner, her knees pulled up to her chest, she looked around the small pathetic place they had locked her in. It could be much worse Sakura, was the first somewhat-positive thought that came up in her mind, but it was soon followed by much more terrible words, plunging her back into a pool of fear.
Once in the castle, she felt the box come to a sudden stop. The doors opened on the other side, flooding the place with too much light. Still squinting from the bright scene, she had quickly been taken hold of in from her upper arms. As if I was a criminal, the princess thought pathetically, never before been treated with such disrespect, feeling as vulnerable as it could get.
Sakura stood there quietly, not bothering to struggle, anyone with common sense would know she had no chance agaisnt these guys much larger than her. She knew right away she no longer was in the Apan, well, it had been truly obvious, but it was until now that her mind truly started to come back.
After a few minutes, she found herself in a simple but luxurious room, nothing like what she was used to, but she had to admit it wasn't as bad as she had imagined. She was put ontop of the large bed, the cold metal shuckles that had started to cut into the skin where thankfully taken off.
"There is no need....the stone doors are sealed and can only be unlocked from the outside......plus with the bars, and at this height, there is no means of escape by the windows." She had stopped listening too long ago for her to remember by now, but at this she responded with a sigh, she wouldn't have tried anyways, afterall, what did she know about escaping? Only useless information of amazing yet unrealistic escapes from books and her failture of attempts.
After being left alone, she finally let out the burning tears that surprisngly she had been able to hold back, and with no one to see her pathetic actions, she burst into violent sobs, her hands covering her face, the soft matress below her and the current thought that nothing bad will happen to her giving aboslutely no confort.

She was glad to see a friendly face for once. By the time the lady had come, her minutes of tears had passed. Sakura now sat on the edge of the bed, her mind sunken into a large book, "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare". It was rather weird to find her at this condition, many others would cry and plead to be let out, but somehow, someway, she found peace within herself. I will be found, she had thought, father will not alllow me to be lost for too long.
"My my.....don't you just look drained! Here, drink this!" Did she look that bad? She wondered but gladly took the glass, realizing truly how thirsty and hungry she was.
