"Good morning mommy's beautiful little princess." My mother gently whispered. She carefully kissed the top of my little head, waking me up from what I like to call the darkness. I stretched my little arms above my head which always seems to put my mother into a funny state.

" Theon come look at Briar, she's doing that cute little baby stretch." My mother's voice changed.

When I finally get both my eyes opened to see what I have learned to be both my parents looking at me. What I have learned from my father is that my mother's hair shines like the sun and her eyes are as blue as the bright blue sky, with a smile that can light up the whole room.

" What a beautiful day it is to have a celebration for our beautiful Briar Rose." My father smiled

They both have been talking about this celebration thing since I came into the bright light, but what ever it is I hope it's fun.

" It's time to get you ready for you big day." My mother picked me up from what she calls my cradle and holds me in her arms. She lays me back down but not into my cradle this is so much better.

" Your father and I had this dress made special just for your big celebration. Everyone's traveling from far and wide is coming to see you." My mother smiled. She got me into the dress which I enjoy, everytime I kicked my little legs I could see part of my dress fly into the air.

" Do you like your dress Briar?" My mother asked.

I smiled still kicking my legs around. I was having so much fun.

" It's time to start the celebration my love's." My father says kissing my mother on her forehead then leaning down to pick me up.

" Well dont you look like the most beautiful princess in all the kingdom." My father smiles.

My father handed me to my mother. As they walked side by side down the big tall halls of the castle.

" King and Queen are you ready to enter?" someone asked

My mother took a deep breath before answering " Yes, let's go show her to the world." My mother replied

As soon as the doors opened up I could hear everyone cheering. My mom sat me up a little in her arms so that everyone in the room could see me. Which only made them cheer louder.

My father raised his hand into the air and the whole room grew quite.

" It is with such a great honor for Queen Colette and myself to introduce everyone to our beautiful daughter Briar." My father's voice filled the room which only led to everyone cheering some more.

My mother went and sat in her big chair. She adjusted me once more in her arms.

" Now that the King and Queen are ready we ask everyone to come up one at a time or as a family. You may come up and give your blessings or gift whichever you have chosen for our new princess." a voice filled the room

One by one people come up to see me bring gift of all sorts being from fresh milk for me to drink, the very best vegetables from the very best gardens in the land for my parents to feast and blessing me.

After what felt like forever I began to start getting sleepy with a long line left, I begin to wonder how long this celebration thing is going to last.

I could feel my eye starting to get heavy, when all of a sudden of mother jumps up out of her chair handing me to my father.

"Camile!" I hear my mother shout.

" The woman you're about to meet is your mother's best friends. She and your mother grew up together in the village." My father explained

" I'm so glad you made it back in time. where's the kids and Torben?" My mother asked

" Torben along with his men will be back just before night fall, as for the kid's their taking guard around the castle. We wanted to take ever precaution for our new little princess big celebration." Camile smiled down at me

"Camile, would you like to hold your God daughter?" My mother asked

" Yes, but not before you open her gift." Camile says handing my mother something. I could then hear my mother begin to cry

" You kept it after all this time?" My mother cried.

I tried to move me head so I could see what my mother was holding that made her cry so much.

" Of course I did, it was our promise since we was just little girl. Maggie still has her still this day." Camile explains

" What is it?" My father asked. As he walked up behind my mother. But I still can't see what it is.

" A baby blanket Camile made when we was just little girl learning how to knit. We made each other a promise that no matter how bad our first blanket turned out, it was to be giving to our first born child." My mother explained through the tears.

My mother picked me up from my father wrapping me up in my new blanket that is very cozy and warm. Then carefully placed me into Camile's arms. I looked up at them both who are both now crying.

" Colette she's so beautiful." Camile smiled down at me. She held out one of her fingers. I was able to wiggle my little arms out from my new blanket so I could grab her finger.

Out of no where a big black smoke could filled the room with a cold dark creepy laughter.

"All guards surround the princess!" Camile shouts

" What are you doing here Visha? You have no business being here." My mother shouts

" Oh Colette sweetheart but of course I do, I brought a gift for the new princess." Visha laughed

"You or your gift is not welcomed here or even in this kingdom for that matter!" Camile shouts

I tried to look around to get better look of this Visha person to see why everyone's making such a big deal about her.

Once I was able to get a quick glance at Visha, I was able to tell that her hair was black as the night sky. When her eyes met mine I immediately got the chills. She also had someone standing next to her with a bird like thing on his shoulder.

" Don't be such a party pooper Camile all I did was bring this beautiful rose." Visha says holding opal a rose " I figured since her name had Rose in it what's a better gift to give the new princess then a rose." Visha carried on

" Thank you Visha, It's a beautiful gift. We'll get a vase and put it in her room." My mother hesitated to say

" Oh good! I'm glad you think so cause this rose right here is a very very special." Visha mischievously laughed.

I could see everyone looking around at one another in hesitation just waiting for something to happen. Even the kid standing next to Visha was hesitant.

" This rose right here is the power source of every rose in all the kingdoms." Visha explains

" Power source of what?" My mother asked

" I'm so glad you asked Queen Colette, before the nightfall on the princess 18th birthday, ifshe touches a thorn on this rose or any rose in fact she is to perish for all eternity." Visha smirks glaring at both of my parents.

" Why would you wanna hurt a baby you evil monster?" My mother yelled

" Maybe the kings brother shouldn't have killed my children and since he's no longer here I have to go to the next best thing. The King Theron daughter." Visha began to cry

" Why would my own brother kill his own child? He loved theo with everything he had." My father asked

" I wish I knew theo was my everything and he took him away from me like it was nothing!" Visha cries out.

" But now you must pay for what he did and feel the pain I live with everyday!" Visha yells throwing a dagger towards Camile and I.

Luckily someone stop the dagger from getting to us with their sheild.

" That wasn't part of the plan." The kids next to Visha shouts.

" Imprison her!" My father shouts drawing his sword from his throne

" Keep her safe." My mother cried kissing my forehead

" With my life, till my last breath." Camile says

Camile quickly re-wrapped me up in my blanket holding me close to her then she shouts "Port in a storm!" then takes of running

"Capture the princess!" Visha shouts

Camile exited through the same doors my parents entered earlier for my celebration. A few of the guards slammed the door shut closing the door off so no one could enter or exit the room.

" We must get the princess to safely now." Camile says looking down at me

" Lead the way." says one of the guards
