I’m wet, I’m tired, and I'm hungry. I’m also asking myself how my father agreed to  let us do this. My brothers are- “whoa, this place is beautiful “ I thought. I don’t think anyone has ever discovered this place. How can I tell you, well there aren’t any buildings that mark this land, nor a factory that pollutes the air. There wasn’t a building in sight. I take a deep breath and enjoy the unpolluted air, and then I realize that I am all by myself for the first time ever. I sighed very loudly. Finally, I’m away from all of my chaotic siblings, and my drunk father who always beats my mother. She will be the only one I miss, my mother. The loving touch of her hand when my father decides to take his anger out on me instead of her. Her soothing voice, that I fall asleep to every night. Yes, she will be the one I miss. As I break out of my thoughts, I realize that it's already nightfall so I pull out my sleeping bag from my burlap sack, and realize that I don’t have much food left. Of course my father didn’t pack much for me anyways. I was never his favorite from the bunch, probably because I never went out to drink with him, and I never liked him. It could also be the fact that I’m not his child. You see ,before my mother married my father, she was in love with another man, but then she was forced to marry my father. When they heard the news, they ran away  together, but they were caught. My father had my real father killed for trying to“kidnap” my mother. She had begged and pleaded for him to be spared, and that he hadn’t kidn*pped her. No one listened. Eight months and three weeks later I was born. My father knew that I wasn’t his, and he tried to get rid of me many times, but I always outsmarted him. Like one time he said to me” hey you, go get some red leafed pine tree leaves”. He thought he could trick me, but my mother made sure that I got the best education. I always knew he would try and get rid of me. Now he had his chance. I had to make sure that I took awhile, so that he wouldn't be suspicious. Me being me, I knew that there wasn’t such things, so I went into the woods and found some pine needles, dipped them in red paint and set back to my place, but before I got there I was jumped. I knew right away that this was a plot from my father to kill me. I knew that it was going to happen sooner or later, so I secretly took some kickboxing lessons. That was fun to go back home to see my father pee his pants thinking that I came back to haunt him. Yeah right, I wouldn’t come back for his lazy no good drunk butt. I’m not that stupid. If he died during this war I would laugh. I don’t like him, and I never will. Breaking that thought off with a laugh, I settled down for the night. My dream consisted of my father taunting me. Telling me about how much of a failure I am for leaving my mother with my brothers and him. You see when I said that all of us were leaving I lied. I was the only one leaving. I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to get away from them. As I awake from my nightmare I hear something. At first I

didn’t know what it was, but then I remembered what that noise was. It was the Erlking, or known as the king of the fairies. I did a lot of research on these things when I was much younger. It is said that they are usually found in Denmark. I wonder how it could have gotten so far away from its home. I approach him, and try not to startle him. Being the king of the fairies he heard me coming. He drew his sword. I had heard about the Erlking Blade, but never imagined that it would be real. I start to come even closer, but he stops me by saying “Don’t come closer or I will slit your throat with my blade.” I stopped right there, afraid that he would actually do it. “ Why are you so far away from your home country?” I ask. These things usually stay with their pack, but this one appears to be so sad and lonely. “What happened to your tribe?” I asked. “They were all killed by a neighboring tribe. I am trying to think of a way to get revenge on them. So far all of my plans need nine people.” he says.
