I was running in my nightgown and bear footed on the cold pavement of the castle where I lived. Running in between the chaos that was all around me the warriors of the kingdom battling, tearing, digging their claws into the flesh of the enemy. The stench of blood was so repugnant that it burned my nose. And in every corner of the castle there were bodies of the fallen warriors. I searched for my parents hoping that they were not lying dead. Tears clouded my eyes at the thought of the possibility that they may be dead. I was running to the main castle where I knew my parents would be. In the same court where father had trained me to rule on many occasions to someday inherit the crown and become Lycan. I had finally made it to the main castle. I began to call for them. "MOM, DAD, WHERE ARE YOU!" No response was heard. Only the loud screams of the warriors roared through the castle. Among all the comotion I heard my father, and I looked up to the balcony of the highest room in the castle and there he was battling Uncle Serious. My mother was behind them detained by the enemy in dark shadow cloaks. Where I was standing in front of the fountain I turned to see a Shadow warrior charging right at me past the black gates and sword at hand. I didn't have my wolf and my only thought was this is the end I'm going to die, but Lecton one of fathers trusted advisors intersected and killed the enemy instead. I made my way into the castle through the heavy doors and up the stair case. The floor slippery, filled with blood, and it smelled of iron. Mid stair case through the window on the side I saw my father falling I looked out the window and I saw my father broken on the pavement with a silver danger in his chest. I screamed in terror destroyed and crushed. My father, my light was dead. I hit the floor crying and after a few minutes all I could see was blur. Mother running towards me or at least her silhouette. I could tell she was bruised and bloody upon closer distance. She held my hand and I could see her mouth move, but I couldn't hear her. A muffled sound and ringing in my ears took all of my attention. "Elera! Snap Out Of It!" She said. She slapped me across my face. " Snap Out of it Now or we will die!" She held my little hands in between her hands. "Now lets go. We must make haste or he will catch us both and kill you." She said. I didn't know what was going on. All I could do was remain in shock. Mother taking me towards the direction of the private gates underneath the castle. I turned around and there I saw him Serious with a sinister smile plastered across his face. All I could see was red. I was angry and terrified. I felt betrayed despite my age. I wanted him dead, and I wanted to rip him apart. I wanted revenge. My mother still griping my hand was crying silently. She had the most saddest and torn apart look. I saw her despair. She began to run pulling me behind her. A black small car was waiting for us. My mother buckled me up in the back seat and was about to get in the car when suddenly she was violently pulled out of the car by Serious. She fought back and with her leg she kicked the door to the car closed and screamed "Go!". I looked back and cried for my mother, but I saw when uncle took his k-9 and plunged it into my mother's neck where she once held my father's mark. I saw her disappear in the distance and I was screaming. "No Go Back!! Go Back!". The driver turned to me and said, " Your highness, don't worry someday you will be strong and I will personally bring you back to kill that depraved man. I vow you will." I looked at his face and recognized him under all his bruises and facial cuts. He was Carl the second best fighter in our pack in the kingdom. Carl driving looking back in the rear mirror could only see the small child who had lost everything in one of the most gruesome succession fights. No one in the kingdom had any idea that Serious had turned traitor. Carl had to take this child far from Serious's reach. Serious would not hesitate to eliminate anyone who posed a threat to his throne. With pure tyranny and he with tyranny he chose to rule. After debating the second best warrior Carl had taken little Elera to a pack in the outskirts that was always switching from Midnight Moon Kingdom and the neighboring kingdom. Little Elera had drifted to sleep and when they arrived the Alpha at first is suspicious of them, but Carl made it seem like little Elera was his adopted human daughter. Many years later Elera had grown so much. She had trained hard. "Elera! Elera!" she heard her name being called and she opened her eyes slowly. The light hurt my sight, but I continued to persist. Finally, I opened my eyes and saw that it was Emma calling out to me. I got up from my bed where I was lying on. It was 8:00 am. Emma had sheltered me and Carl after I arrived here at Willows Pack. She is a nice person even though she lost her mate years ago. They went scouting the area and they were attacked by rogues. We became best friends after I was accepted by her and after a while Carl married her because he turned out to be her second chance mate. It is heartbreaking listening to how she lost Charlie her past mate. He had been a very good husband to her. " Hey Elf, why are you not up yet? Don't you see you will be late to your training with Carl." She said in a questioning tone. "Sorry I will leave immediately. I overslept." I said while entering the bathroom to do my morning routine. I ran downstairs where Emma was making breakfast for her children and me. I took one of the toasts and ran out. The last thing I heard was, " Hey! At least eat properly before you leave next time!" She yelled from the kitchen. I knew I needed to leave and avoid being late or Carl would double the training. "Sorry can't talk see you later Emma!" I yelled back. And I took off.
