Short Story Contest

There is a contest to write a  short story or poem using certain words and phrases. The lady that is sponsoring this contest will give away a bunch of cosmetics to the winner. Now, I don't need cosmetics, but I promised them to my daughter if I win. So, you tell me what you think...

 

                      Death Of A Princess

Long, long ago, there lived two souls. A man and a woman. Between them there was such a love as no other. A love that was timeless, ageless, and more Caring than any other. They were husband and wife, Prince and Princess. They enjoyed their time together, but there came a time when the husband had to go off to fight in some stupid war. War raged all around his kingdom. He had to protect his home, and those that he loved.
 
       The wife longed for her Soul-Mate to come back to the safety of their castle, back to her loving arms. She Day-Dreamed constantly of the time she shared with her Prince. She was Haunted with the memory of him, the smell of him, the feel of him. She could not know that the battle was going well for her Prince. He decided he would send no word in advance, and surprise her with a home-coming!
 
       The enemy, seeing that the Prince may well win this war sent word to the princess by messenger that her beloved Prince had fallen in battle. Mortally wounded, his heart pierced by the enemy's arrow! The Princess was devastated. Her Tears fell like Crystal upon the floor of the castle. She would see her Soul-Mate no more. Nevermore to touch him, to hold him, to know him. She knew he would be laid into the cold ground. Never to be seen again by anyone in the Kingdom.
 
        In no time, she made up her mind that she would be with her Prince again. Not even Death himself could hold her back! A dagger on the bedroom dresser, and a quick plan of action. She quickly plunged the dagger into her own breast! In merely a second the deed was done. The Princess breathed her last in just a few seconds. She would join her Prince in Death. They both now belong to the ages.
 
_____The six words I chose for this short story were...Caring, Haunted, Day Dream, Soul Mate, Crystal, and Tears. I hope that you enjoy it!

Of Romeo & Juliet persuasion.........perhaps a heart-felt story of true friendship.  Mz. Jean comes to mind.
