SECRET LAKE

After overhearing their entire conversation, I decided I would never have my bath in the women's bath again. 

I walked down the castle grounds and took myself on a stroll. 

Everyone stared at me with every turn I made. The chains around my ankles only made it worse. 

You could hear the clank against the metal as I walked, and people would turn to see me. 

Flustered, I went ahead and found myself going down a lonely path. 

I wasn't in the castle anymore.

There were ground floors away from the castle, beautiful trees, and a lovely forest. 

Back home in our pack, I had hardly had the chance to survey the pack because I was always busy.

But today, I was done with my work, and I could stroll around without anyone asking if I had worked.

I kept on walking down the path and past trees. In the distance, I saw a little deer hopping and some squirrels chatting. 

How I wish I could be like them. Free.
