1 Prologue

She was there, mortified as to what she was seeing. Her lips quivering as tears threatened to fall. Like a small leaf she trembles vigorously. Wishing that everything happening right now in her presence is only a bad dream. A horrible, horrendous nightmare. But then again, ot was not... She could hear them. They're pleading and dying screams filled her hearing.

Fire.

Fire was slowly consuming her home. Burning down the orphanage into nothing but ashes. Along with everyone else in there. Screams of children and women can be heard as the flame burnt their flesh. The thick cloud of smoke hovered above her blanketing the heavens.

She was outside in front of the establishment as she witnessed everything go down as if she was witnessing hell itself. The smell of burnt flesh and other materials filled the air. Her mouth was left agape. Tears flowed down her cheeks non stop. Everyone was burning to a coal, except for her.

"No... No.. No.. No.. No!!!" she screamed to no one.

How did this happen? They were all together just hours ago. Had supper together and everyone had gone to bed without a fuss. And then now... Now, they're all dead.

She felt pain.

She felt agony.

She felt helpless.

She doesn't have a home or anyone now anymore. The orphanage was her home. The people who lived there was her family.

It's true...

They were right...

Every word they called her were true.

She is the bringer of death. She invited death into their home. All of them are now gone because of her...

The fire crackle in her presence seemingly taunting her. The building slowly collapsing as the fire weakens and consuming it like a hungry beast. Leaving nothing but ashes upon its wake.

Nevertheless, she can still hear their screams. Some of them are still alive. It got her hopes up. She could still save them. They could still live.

But what could she do?

Run towards the fire and be burn to ash just like everyone else? She's just a helpless little girl.

Pathetic.

But she could. If she couldn't save them, then might as well join them to the afterlife. At least she'll be with them. She'll be with them. With her family.

And with that conclusion, her suddenly has they're own minds. They began to lead her towards the fire. She just stared to what was coming to her..

It was overwhelming.

She felt overwhelmed and at the same time petrified. It was really odd to be feeling those emotions as she was running towards her death.

A few more steps.

A few more steps and she'll be with them.

She was about to leap towards the fire when she felt a force tug her back. With seemingly brute force she was thrown onto the ground similar to a rag doll. She felt lightheaded. Her consciousness slipping away from her.

But before she succumbed to that she heard it or someone said:

"Sweet dreams Princess."

Then darkness slowly enveloping her...
