[ WP ] After rescuing her , the prince finds out that the `` damsel in distress '' was actually locked in the tower because she was a convicted serial killer .

She was perfect, the most beautiful woman I'd ever laid eyes on. The depth of her ocean-blue eyes made the ocean I swam to reach her look like a pond. Her hair glistened from the late-afternoon sun shining in the window of her tower. 
 `` Have you come for me?'' She asked, shy and afraid and a picture of maidenhood. I nodded, too taken by her beauty to respond. I removed my helmet and set it on the floor. It was time to kiss her. She had to be released with True Love's First Kiss. 
 `` Will you close your eyes?'' She begged. `` It's only that I'm so nervous.'' 
 `` Of course, my lady.'' I rasped. I sat on the bed beside her. She reached behind her back as I closed my eyes. 
 `` Thank you for saving me.'' She said. Her voice was as sweet as a songbird's. Agony exploded in my neck and I fell off the bed, losing control of my body. I collapsed on the stone floor, scrabbling at the dagger protruding from my collar. My vision blurred as she stood from the bed, looking down at me. 
 `` It's a shame that no one can save you.''

 Edit: just now realized that I write almost all my prompts in this sub in first-person. Odd, because I do almost all my other writing in third.
