"Yes, darling. You do look quite like a princess." Her mother watched her fondly, proud of the bursting energy her daughter carried.
The princess sat gracefully, with perfect etiquette and polite manners, at the table on the far side of the room. I only stared at her with admiration. She wore a beautiful gown that swept the already polished floor when she walked in the castle. Everything about her was beautiful, and I envied her so passionately.
The black plague spread around us like a wild fire. Nothing could stop it from taking our homes, family, friends... our own lives. Everyone was at risk. There was no way to stop it from hurting us. We were trapped with no way out, and no help at all.
