• I remember it like it was yesterday.........

    It was the darkest night since the uprising of the dark kingdom. The moon was no where to be seen and even the stars that usually shined brightly looked as if they would all die out.

    I was sleeping peacefully in my bed. My satin sheets laid smoothly over me. With my head against my pillow I felt as if I was on a cloud. Warmth spread through out the chamber as it escaped slowly from the fireplace in the far cornner of the room.

    SMASH!

    I jerked upright at the sound of what seemed like a million crystals breaking. Nervously I slipped on my robe and creeped out of my room and into the great hall. There before me laid the great chandeler broken into zillions of pure crystal shards. Speechless I stood there flaberghasted. Suddenly a scream broke loose from my parents bed chamber.
    In a flash I was running toward the scream. Crystal shards cutting deep painful wounds into the soft flesh of my bare feet. Even though I was in excruciating pain I kept moving forward.

    Bursting through the door I came to see a horrific sight. There laid my dear father dead in a pool of bright red blood. Then my beautiful mom laid limp and helpless in the pale strong arms of the dark king. Slowly he pulled the black dagger that was now highlighted with blood from my mother's pierced heart.

    Finally he dropped her body next to my father's and turned towards me.
    I'm gonna die I thought. Instead I was hit with another surprise.
    "Hello my new princess." The king said with a devilish grin.
