Once, long ago, in Scotland, a baby girl was born to a mean couple. They did not like how she looked so they threw her out in the streets. For hours and days, she lay there, but the queen, Mary, was passing by and noticed her one day. Mary pitied her and decided to adopt the girl as her own; she named her Lily. 


Years went by; there had been many attempts of people trying to kidnap Lily. Mary decided Lily would now not step out of the castle and grow up there within the walls. Lily always tried to run away but was stopped by one security guard or the other. But one night, Lily decided it was time for her to see the world, and she ran away. She ran away to the woods, all alone. Several minutes passed by, Lily realized it was a stupid idea and started to feel afraid. She remembered the stories Mary had told her about the creatures hiding in the dark that could harm her. 

Then something came creeping, Lily could hear it, but she couldn't move. 


"Don't worry, kid. Just follow everywhere I go. You'll be

safe under my control. Just let me in" Lily couldn't see who or what it was. But she could hear it. Soon, she was brainwashed, and the creature took her under its care. It stayed like that for years. Lily was now 16 and had no idea about her past. Sixteen years had gone, and guards still hadn't found her. One day when the creature was out and Lily was exploring the house. She reached a part she'd never been to before. She opened the door to find the body of another girl. 

Then it all came back to her. About Mary. About how she ran away. About the creature.


She ran faster than a shooting star and started screaming. "Is there someone out there? Please help me. Come get me". Lily ran and ran, only to come to a dead end.

"You saw it, didn't you? You saw the body," said the creature. "Let me explain- I won't hurt you."

"Is that what you said to that person?" she said, turning away.

"Everything you want in gold, I'll be the magic story you've been told. And you'll be safe under my control."

"Just let me in."
