The beginning (William perspective)

I slowly opened my eyes and saw a woman smiling down at me. She had dark green hair and brown eyes, she looked up to someone else and said "I think I'll name him William."

I turned my head to look at the person she had talked to. It was a man with brown hair, and emerald eyes. The man was holding two infants in his hands. I turned my head, and looked back at the woman holding me. The woman smiled down at me and continued talking "and the second boy will be named Arthur, and the girls name shall be Amethyst."

"What do you think Kyle?" The woman said looking at the man. So I guess he is Kyle and my father I thought to myself. My father smiled and said "I love them, Alena."

I stared up at my mother's face, so she's my mom and is known as Alena I thought to myself. My mother stood up quickly surprising me, as she stood up she said "why don't we let them rest, Kyle."

My mother walked over to three cribs, one was black, another was white, and the last light purple. My mother laid me down in the black crib, and then covered me with a black blanket. My father laid Amethyst down on the light purple bed, and then laid Arthur down on the white bed. After all of us were laying down and covered with blankets. It didn't take long for Arthur and Amethyst to fall asleep. But I decided to stay awake and think about things, as I started trying to think about random things about my future I heard a ding. In front of me was a small screen and on it said "fast-thinking skill acquired."

Fast-thinking? Is that because I was thinking of my future? I decided to ignore the screen hovering above me, and eventually it disappeared. After some more thinking I decided to go to sleep, I closed my eyes and eventually I drifted off to sleep.

(EIGHT YEARS LATER)

I woke up to Amethyst shaking me side to side, and saying "breakfast is ready!"

I moved her hands off me and sat up, I looked around my room confused for a moment. I s,pet in the right corner of the loft. On the wall that my bed was next to was a dark brown dresser, and on the other wall was a desk. I got out of my bed and looked down at myself, I was wearing some worn out pjs and some old socks. I walked over to my dresser and looked at myself in the mirror attached to it, I had dark green hair like my mother and emerald eyes like my father. I opened my dresser doors and picked out my usual clothing which was a black t-shirt, and camouflage cargo pants. After getting dressed I headed downstairs for breakfast, everyone was already at the table. I looked at each of my siblings, Amethyst had light brown hair and light brown eyes. She wore a black skirt with a white t-shirt. My brother Arthur looked just like me except he wore a green shirt, and some black trousers. I took my seat at the table and looked at what my parents were wearing that day. My father was in his black long sleeved shirt, chain mail chest plate, and some black trousers. My mother wore a faded yellow shirt with a brown skirt. Our father was a knight, and our mother a simple farmer. Our mom brought the plates to the table, and I quickly stole two eggs, bacon, and, some pancakes so Amethyst didn't steal it all. Suddenly my mom said my name, and followed with "you and Amethyst are going to the forest to collect some mushrooms, herbs for me."

I groaned and said "why does it have to be with Amethyst!"

My mom smiled and said "to be safe, now go after you finish breakfast."

I ate the rest of my breakfast glaring at Amethyst as she kept trying to steal my food. After finishing we said goodbye to our dad and ran to the forest. When we were there I looked over at Amethyst and said "wanna see who can gather the most herbs and mushrooms?"

Amethyst let a sly grin cross her face and she nodded. I started counting down from five, and when I reached one we both bolted off in the same direction carful not to lose the other. After an hour of searching, we were both tired of running around trying to find herbs and mushrooms. Me and Amethyst rested against an old tree, while sitting there Amethyst looked over at my basket ad said "I have way more than you."

"Then prove it." I said annoyed that she was being like this, she showed me her basket and it was a bit fuller than mine. But I bet I can get that much and pass her in no time. I tackled Amethyst and we rolled around until the hill stopped, I pinned her down and found a sharp rock and said "now give me all your money!"

Seeing what was happening Amethyst decided to play along, and said "oh I have no money! I'm so very poor!"

We both started laughing until we started to cry, but as we laughed I loosened the hold on the sharp rock, and by the time we were done laughing it had slipped out of my hand. The rock fell down next to Amethyst and rolled away. Amethyst quickly rolled over, and pulled me with her pinning me down instead of her. I looked up at her and said "a robber never has one weapon."

I pulled out a stick I had sharpened and held it at her neck. I grinned at her and said "now get off me and give all of your herbs, and mushrooms to me."

Amethyst laughed and got off of me, she then walked back up the hill but slipped on a rock I had hidden as an extra weapon. She fell backwards, and fell into the stick I had sharpened. The stick pierced through her chest, horrified of what just happened I sunk to my knees and held Amethyst in my arms. Tears started to come to my eyes and all I could say was "it's all my fault…I'm a monster!"

Amethyst clenched her teeth in pain and said "take me to mom."

Quickly I picked her up and ran back towards the house, when I got there I kicked our door open and as soon as mom saw Amethyst on my back and my tears. She quickly grabbed Amethyst and payed her down, she yelled at Arthur and said "go get the doctor!"

Arthur rushed out of the house leaving me, mom, and Amethyst alone. Mom asked me about what happened, but all I could say was "it's all my fault, I'm sorry Amethyst."

By the time Arthur returned with the village doctor, Amethyst was starting to breath less. The village doctor, pulled the stick from her chest and immediately began bandaging her up. After the village doctor was done he said that Amethyst would be just fine with some rest. Mom brought Amethyst to her room at the back of the house, and watched her. Soon it was dark so mom went to bed, feeling bad about Amethysts pain I walked into her room in the dead of night. I watched Amethyst sleep soundly, but could see she was in pain. I pulled out the knife I got from the kitchen, and raised it above my head. I swung the blade down piercing Amethysts neck, I turned the blade sideways and pulled it splitting her head from her body. After it was done a laughed and said "now you won't ever feel pain again Amethyst."

I continued to laugh, until I got tired. I walked up the stairs to my bad, and with a grin on my face I fell asleep
