Chapter 1

"Anastasia, Anastasia, where are you?" I heard Marie from downstairs. Marie is my best friend and also my maid. "What happened Marie, why were you calling me?" I asked. "Your parents wants to see you in their bedroom at 7 o'clock" she said and went outside, I guess towards the kitchen. I love her doesn't matter that she is a maid, she is first my best friend. Oh!, I forgot to mention, I am the princess of the kingdom called "Beautiful Valleys" because it is surrounded by beautiful valleys and mountains.

But from two years there was a war going on between all the supernatural races and humans also. All the supernaturals are very powerful and faster then the humans. The only reason that the humans were still alive is because of the quarrels between the the supernaturals. The werewolves don't like vampires and witches and warlocks were fighting with each other for more powers & to become supreme from the rest. So, humans have the advantage of their fights and they were now fighting with vampires and witches are helping them because they have no problem with humans. Warlocks have also no problem but sometimes they help humans and sometimes not due to witches. But I am hoping and praying that all will be over soon and we all will be free from this war.

I glanced at the clock and it reads 6:55 a.m. I need to hurry, I have only 5 minutes left. I ran upstairs to my parents bedroom. I opened the large, heavy doors of my parents's bedroom and saw them sitting on the bed. They looked up to me and smiled. "Anas, come my dear baby, sit here" my mother said giving a sweet slight smile & patting on the space right next to her on her bed. I sat beside her.

"Dear Anas, as you know that there is a war going on between all the creatures like witches, vampires, werewolves and warlocks. I have found from one of my sources that the fights between vampires and werewolves is over and they have made a deal that they will remain in their kingdoms without disturbing each other. About witches is that they will help us but some of them refused as they don't want a fight with vampires and warlocks too.

The witches and warlocks have come to an conclusion that they are fighting with their same kind, why? Why not rest in peace and live happily. So, they are together now. As the war is now between only humans and vampires and many other kingdoms are also with us so, I hope that we will win this war. So, I want that you should be under the protection of guards every time. Five outside and five inside that means total ten. I am doing this because I love you my dear baby and not trapping you. So please don't think that way. Okay.." my father told me & hugged me and I hugged him back. "Okay mother, okay father, I am fine with the arrangements. Good Night" I said and went to my bedroom.

The sheets were already. I am sure that it has been done by Marsie. That lovely one is very good at her work. Always perfect & on time. I changed into my night wear & laid down on the bed. As, I am still awake, lying in the bed, thoughts came to my mind. With the war over between the witches & warlocks, it is a little bit difficult for us, humans to have a upper hand. With war going on between them, we were getting advantage & we were also creating confusions & misunderstanding between them that witches are favoring the vampires & warlocks are favoring the werewolves, that I agree that we should not have done but still war is war & it's tactics are well, it's tactics.I thought that all the races have peace except the humans, why? Why can't we rest in peace and with that thought I fall asleep.
