The Beginning

I haven't been able to sleep for the past few weeks. I keep getting the same nightmares every night, and I wish I can stop them. Although I feel like they're trying to tell me something, something from my past I can't remember. I don't want to tell anyone, because I know they wouldn't care. That's how it's always been ever since I can remember. Even though that's not saying much, I can't remember much from when I was younger. I can't remember anything from under the age of 12, and even if I do remember something it's in bits and pieces ,or just kind of blurry. Well except for this one memory I have. It's the only one that's clear enough to see. I remember a lake shining in the sunlight, there was a small breeze, and beautiful light green grass with tall trees surrounding the scenery. It was a peaceful day I was singing, and then I saw some one who looked to be around 10, but that's it. I don't know his voice, but I do remember his fur colors and the color of one of his eyes every thing else about him is blurry. From I remember his eye color was as red as a Ruby, but it shows that he was sad and hurt but he seemed kind hearted and warm. * knocking *

" princess Ookiam the king has requested your presence " their voice seemed kind but afraid " yes, let me get ready ". " of course, princess " * sigh * " never a time I can be free, especially from him " ' I never like this place, I can never go outside, I can never go somewhere with out a need of a guard. Although it's not to bad I find ways to distract my self, it's the idea of having to always have to do what my grandfather says, i don't bother with my step mother and father they don't normally care about me unless it's in front others out side of the castle. * opens door * " are you ready to go princess? " "Yes, I'm ready

A couple minutes later and she was already in the throne room. she was scared she didn't want to go in, but she was to scared to not go in she was afraid of what he would to if she didn't do as he asked. Walking In she hid what she felt and relaxed her composure. Her step sister was already there in the room in front of the steps . No one spoke in till the king walking in " as to be informed, you both know I'm too sick to rule so, eventually one of you will have to rule"

Both girls nodded their heads trying to look sad, but Ookiam knew her step sister too well she could tell she was trying to hide her smile. Grandfather knew this too, he hated both of his grandchildren, the most he hated was about them was that the youngest was too improper and Ookiam, the Oldest, wasn't a pure Royal. That last he still had to make a choice, he looked at both of the girls and made a choice " I have made a choice, and both of you will have to imply, Ookaim you will be the next Queen" ookiam looked at him surprised and scared she knew nothing about how to rule a country, her step sister was angry at the choice she wanted to be Queen and she just screamed " That unfair, grandfather! She's not even real Royalty, she's a mangy half blood! A queen's position is not a place for a half blood!" The king , grandfather, was being angered by Xiel words and silence her " She may be a half blood but she's more of a Queen then you'll ever be!" Ookiam didn't know what to do so she bowed and said " think you my king, I Shall do my best in my run, now if you will excuse me my king" the king just answered " yes, you may go" as Ookiam was leaving she felt him glaring at Xiel and befor she left completely she heard his final words to her sister " now if you want to change my mind, you should learn

from your sister in how to be a queen"

* sighs * " I don't think I'm ready to be queen" " that may be true for you , but I think you see it to it's just the fact that you don't enjoy this kind of life. You're are more used to living in the forest ." " yea, that seems more like it. Even so if I have to I will be queen I just-". " wish you could go home?" " yes! I wish to go home I want to see it again even if it's just once and never again" " I do understand you, ookiam it's just I don't think you're grandfather will give you permission ". Ookiam's ears flop down " I know, but what if I run! ". " that's a horrible idea , you know how many people would like to kill you? You are a princess anyone who hates blue bloods would kill you on the spot!" " don't refer me to them, I'm nothing like them you don't think I don't know people wouldn't kill me? Why do you think I have you train me how to protect myself ". " I know but you're still to young to be on your own " " now you're worried about that, how about the first five years I was here, I was in Jail hold just because my father ran away! I was a kid! You all left me their on my own ever day and night the only company i had was when they would bring be food and water! Now I'm sorry for yelling but if you excuse me we have arrived at my room and I would rather sleep then be here " * opens door and walks in angrily then slams the door * " I'd say that when well for you, silver" " Yes I suppose it did Mai, if you think being yelled at by a 15 year old is well the I guess it did " * silver sighs and sits on the floor * " you do know she's almost 16 right, she not 6 any more " * sits next to him and pats his back * " I know she's not but she's right she was alone for five years and I did nothing to help ". " it wasn't your fault you know, and also-". * silver looks at her * " what is it, Mai". " she's going to run no matter what we do, so it's up to us to help her run in safety" * silver looks away sadly and mai starts to softly pet his head * " yea, I know but !can you do me a favor and talk to her about it." " yea, don't worry I will " * silver looks at her happily but worried * I'll talk to her now don't worry " * she kisses his cheek then stands and walks way * "see you later" * he blushes and looks at her embarrassed * " y-yea , see you later "
