Synopsis: Personal (Working Title)

She had always dreamed of it happening, but when it did it was unlike what she had always imagined.

Ever since she was a little girl, she played at games of brave heroines and evil villains who’d kidnap her. More often than not, the villain would be a king, a ruler of some sort of place while she played the princess – fiery and always trying to escape.

When she grew older, her games changed – for one thing they existed in her head. But she began to find other stories, so similar and felt more right for her. Especially the stories of bright girls, kidnapped and stuck with their captor for endless periods.

But in her fantasies she was different from the other girls – when she was Persephone she ate the fruit willingly, loving her husband’s affection and realizing his plight. When she was Christine, she let down Raoul calmly – and then ran back to Poor Erik.

If she could do anything right now, she’d go back and knock some sense into her own head. Because while she always thought that those girls were silly, she knows the truth now.

The line between hate and love is not what it seems.
