Amanda ran. She ran from the slavery of the queen and princesses. Her hair was dirty, which turned it to a dark shade of brown. Her clothes were itchy and torn from the past year's labor (she only got one new uniform a year). The remains of the cuffs the slavers had used to restrain her (in her hair) were heavy and unforgivingly not removable. Amanda was so busy running that she didn't notice that she had run onto the Forbidden Land. Chloe had told every Pico to never enter it. Of course, when you're running from slavers, you really don't have time to think about it. Everything was a bit strange in the Forbidden Land. Amanda washed her hair and changed into new clothes. She ate steak and strawberry juice. She slept in a black silk dress on a soft bed. Amanda didn't realize as she fell asleep that she wasn't in Pico anymore.
