Princess and Evil
A children fairy tale that was written by Sophianna Mastrosavvaki 2008

Once upon a time, in a faraway land lived a King and Queen with 7 daughters. They all lived in a huge castle with towers and battlements bigger than any in the world. The towers were 7 and in each one, one of the princesses slept.
But one stormy night Brianna could not get to sleep.  The rain crashed on her window and she could hear the wind roaring in the distance.  So she got up and pulled on her fluffy cream dressing gown and opened her bedroom door. 
The whole castle seemed to be sleeping and the spindly stairs that connected the tower with the rest of the castle were swallowed up by darkness.  So she crept back through her room and opened a pink satin coated chest and took out a candle.  She lit it with a match and then descended the stairs and came into a long corridor.  It was cold and dark along here, so Brianna wrapped her dressing gown around her tighter and leaned closer to her candle.
As she walked further along the corridor she became aware of a faint green light in the library.  She became intrigued and walked faster  towards the library door that was wide open. 
When she stepped into the library the door slammed shut after her and her candle snuffed out.  Brianna wanted to scream but no noise came out.  

The only light now was that green light that was as bright as the sun now that she had entered the library.
And there in the cushy armchair by the fireplace sat a beautiful woman.  She looked about 23 years old but like nobody Brianna had ever seen before. 

She had green hair and her skin had a greenish tinge to it.  Even her eyes and clothes where green.  She smiled when Brianna came in and said " I have been waiting many years to see you my child." and held out a hand for Brianna to take.
Brianna took it because she was enchanted by the green glow.  She new neither where nor what it was coming from but it made her think of the most wonderful things. And the woman reminded her of someone she had seen in a dream.  A lovely lady who had helped her be reunited with her sisters after they had been ship-wrecked.  But that was only a dream.
