The Soul Eater

He came into her life like a Hurricane...the uproar he caused could be felt far and wide...even the prince felt it though he didn't understand what it was....he just knew that something had changed...and not for the better...
The hurricane swooped in and made himself at home before the princess realized what had happened...at first she was pleased....she needed the company...the help....he was a wizard of sorts and used his skills to rid her of her sorrow...at least he believed he was strong enough to do that...but the dreams were so strong...so deep, that they remained...she hid them from him...at first not wanting to hurt him...then because it was all she had to cling to...later she hid her dreams from him...protecting them...for they were all she had left...

The princess had spent most of her life...in hiding from the world...like a little mouse...always afraid....fearing something big would eat her alive...and now that fear was back again...she didn't know how to handle it...didn't know where to turn for help...the only one who could save her had forgotten she existed...
For you see the wizard that had her in his clutches was a soul eater...he preyed on lost...lonely souls... women who had lost love...he first promised them the moon and stars...told them his story...a wonderous and tale of daring and adventure...but, he would say...now he wanted to settle down...with one and only one...his princess for eternity...such beautiful words for a loved starved princess to hear...she wanted to believe...wanted what he seemed to offer...and at first it was all she had hoped for...but slowly the doubt had creeped in....the lies..the hiding...soon the princess didn't know what to believe anymore...the wizard was swallowing her soul...she had managed to keep her heart safe...but her soul she would soon lose...she was the prey...caught in the snare...soul death was immenent...

The eagle had her in his grip....talons slowly piercing her soul...bleeding only she could feel...she had no where to go...no one to save her...
Her one consolation was that it didn't hurt as much this time...nothing could hurt as much as losing her prince...where was he...why didn't he remember a love like theirs...
She didn't know how much longer she could hang on before she was consumed and all would be lost...forever...
The Wicked Queen had won...The Wizard was winning...the princess lost all she had...all she ever wanted...her prince....life had failed her...
