Intro. They say princesses should be delicate, smile on banquets and wait for princes. I was never any of this. Since I understand myself, I learned to hunt monsters - especially one. The witch of the forest.
I grew up hearing that they were dangerous, evil, capable of cursing whole kingdoms. But, the truth? I never feared monsters. What really haunted me was the idea of getting stuck in a castle, with a destination already written. So when I turned fifteen, I decided to write my own: I would make that witch my trophy, proof that I was not an ordinary princess.
But every meeting with her was different from what I expected. It wasn't just fear, not just anger - it was something that burned inside, a tension that I couldn't name. I hated her… but I hated even more the way my eyes always looked for hers.
Until the day I shot her chest… and found that monsters do not bleed like humans.
