Pomumphopia (Irrational Fear or Hatred of Apples)
Ever since the poisoned apple, I can't go near apples.
They used to be my favorite foods, and by that I mean some of the few foods I would eat.
Every single time I see an apple I want to vomit, faint, or run away.
A twelth of the time I do.
Think about it.
I see apples at least thirty times a day, meaning I vomit, faint, or run away at least twice a day!
Call me pampered if you want, but I just can't get over it!
If someone poisoned you with an apple would you be able to look at them, let alone eat them, without feeling sick to your stomache?
What's really hard is that Jacob [Charming] is always away, visiting his brothers, parents and making peace treaties- leaving me to run a kingdom and take care of five-year-old twins alone!
Someone help me!
Butterfly
I run and run, my eyes set on it. The blue butterfly. I hop on stones, trying not to slip into the river. I feel eyes falling on to me, but I ignore them. The sun begins to set, hues of orange, pink, and blue mixing together. Running out of time. I run to the ocean, hearing the crickety cracks of the wood of the docks. Almost there. I place my finger out. The butterfly lands on it. Freedom. Finally in my reach. I turn around, ready to run out of the country, to finally be free, when a hand clasps around my wrist. I slowly raise my eyes and gasp. My father. I cry as he sinks his fingernails into my wrist and takes me away. Captivity. It will always be in my reach.
