Snippet #2248942

Nerissa was alone when the sky went dark. She had escaped her training for a few moments to sit in one of her favorite trees for some peace and quiet. Suddenly everything became cold and dark and her father was running up to her. "Nerissa!" He yelled up to her. "Chaos is coming. You must protect your princess now! Go and help her to escape. Keep her safe." Nerissa, didn't question her father, she just climbed down from the tree, nodded to her father, and ran off as fast as her eight year old body could carry her. She ran through the palace grounds, skirting the many ponds and streams crisscrossing the area. Finally she reached the palace and saw the palace people rushing about in fear. She pushed her way through the fray, using her small body to squeeze through tight spaces as she went. She went through the halls, trying to remember the right door. It took a few tries before she found it. "Princess Genevieve?" She said in a quiet voice, poking her head around the door. Seeing the princess huddled under the blanket she entered in and said in a little louder voice. "P-Princess Gevevieve. I'm- I'm your guardian and theres... danger outside. I'm supposed to bring you to safety now. Will you come, please?" She was nervous at actually speaking to her highness, it wasn't one of her strong points to talk to others.
