My name is Princess Thalia Westmoore. This is my story. Let me tell you from the beginning. The very beginning, when I was just twelve years old.
I was sitting in my room all by my self except for Sapphire, my doll. My white party dress lay on my bed, but I didn't put it on. I hated parties. They were all for my sister and never for me. I know what you're thinking, you're thinking "wow she is so selfish", but that is not true. Everybody loved my twin sister Elsa, named after the queen of Arendelle. My mother publicized her the day we were born. She left me in shadow for most of my life.
I heard a knock on my door and sat up. "Who is it?" I asked.
"It's me, Elsa" my sister's voice said from the hallway behind my door. "Let me in".
"You can come in, the door is open" I said
Elsa came in and sat on my bed. "Why aren't you at the party? It's really fun, and why aren't you dressed?" she asked.
"I hate parties. You know that" I said to Elsa.
"Thali, you have to! They'll think you're rude if you don't show at the party! Your reputation is already pretty bad due to the dragonfly incident, imagine how much it would drop if they thought you're rude!" Elsa shouted. I hope you never will have to hear her shout.
I looked away. I could remember all too well the dragonfly incident. I had been outside when a dragonfly-airship landed near the cherry tree. And, having not heard my mother warning Elsa about the airships, I got in the backseat of the airship and it flew over town. Everybody saw me in the airship. Even Elsa. Elsa, luckily, warned the guards and stopped them from shooting down the airship with their arrow launchers. Instead, they flew up in their own air balloon and got me out of the dragonfly.
"Don't be sad" said Elsa. "I'll go downstairs and tell everybody that you're sick and can't come to the party".
'I am sick' I thought. 'Sick of everybody thinking I'm in with the enemy'. Soon after Elsa left, she came back.
"Skooch" said Elsa as she took off her shoes. "I'm getting in there, too". I "skooched" as she said and she got in the bed.
We talked for a reeeeeeeally long time, about girly things like kittens, dolls, hair, and boys. After a while Elsa finally said she would check and see if the party had cleared a little so we could get some hot chocolate from the chocolate fountain and maybe even steal a few cream puffs. She got out and went down the stairs.
In a few moments she was back, and she looked frightened. "What's the matter?" I asked her. "Dragonflies" she practically shouted. "In the castle. They're terrifying the guests, and they've taken nearly all the chocolate". When she said the word chocolate, she started to cry. Chocolate is her life. "We need to get out of here" I told her. "Now".
We walked down the hallway, but before we were at the back exit, Elsa stopped. "I need to stay and help the people" she said. "And you need to leave this place before the dragonflies find the hallway". "I'll miss you" I said to her.
Elsa ran downstairs and picked up the sword that was mounted on the wall.
I looked back at Elsa one last time and left the castle out the back.
