Chapter 1: A Nightmare? Or A Memory?
-??? Pov-
"Help me! Please! Somebody! Anybody!"
I scream as 3 men came charging at me with full speed...I evade their attacks and kept on running, jumping over the bodies of countless villagers... Our village was attacked by a wicked witch....
Hundreds and hundreds of rouges and vampires that were under her spell swarmed our village killing everyone on site...
My breath was cutting short and my legs were begining to weaken from all the running...one of the scary men was able to hit my head, causing me to fall down and hit the ground.. I look up and lock eyes with a certain boy reaching my hand out to him
"Hel-"
But the boy shifted and ran as the men hit me continuesly making me pass out.
-Alvara's Pov-
I woke up and sat up my bed...beads of sweat gathered around my forehead as I pant.. I close my eyes and focused on my breathing.. trying to forget that horrible nightmare
I kept getting these damn nightmares every night
The screams of the villagers haunting me..their faces etched into the very core of my head... I sigh and sat up straight, staring at the walls of my room
My bed was facing the dark wooden door, to my bed's right was a small desk with a lantern and a Golden crown sitting on top, it has two drawers for storing purposes, there is a door leading to the bathroom that is also connected to the closet on the right side of the room, a coat hanger standing on it's far left with a cape hanging on it, while a big door leading to the porch was on the left side
I stood up and went to the bathroom, preparing myself for a new day... I hopped in the bathtub and took a bath, after that I went to my closet and picked a white poet's shirt and paired it with black trousers that hugged my figure nicely, I wore a black corset to match with my trousers and brown boots to finish it off
I dried my raven hair that flowed down to my waist and leaving it as it is.. As I got out of the bathroom I I took the cape hanging from the coat hanger and put it on, I took the crown that is sitting neatly on my desk and placed it on my head. it's gold color compliments my pale skin and dead aqua eyes
As I stare at my reflection, I hear a knock and my bedroom door opened... My big brother Lucas entering my room
"Good morning your majesty"
He kneeled at the foot of my bed
"Good morning.. brother..you may rise.."
He stood up and looked at me.. taking in my features
"You look stunning your grace"
"Brother please quit with the formalities"
He chuckled as I pleaded him to stop being so formal
"But you are a quee-"
"And your my brother, so stop"
He sighed and gave in
"Alright 'Vara', are you ready for breakfast?"
He held out his hand, smiling at me.. I smiled back and took his hand, letting him lead me to the dinning room
