Why are my parents doing this?

No matter how much I begged them or pleaded with them all they just wouldn't listen to me.

I didn't want this to become such a giant spectacle like this. It's kind of embarrassing to have all of the Legion Leaders Royalty to have to come to my rescue when I know they have their own worries and lives to contend with.

But my family and others have tried everything within their powers to try to get rid of my unknown stalker.

Even the Royal Oracle can't find a way to release me from my terror.

It seems so helpless.

He comes in through my dreams. Hunting me like I was his prey. Always staying in the shadows so I can never identify his face. It's cowardly of him if you ask me and the things that he says to me will always forever haunt me.

It's been months of having these fitful nightmares, at least four times a week he creeps into my head while I try to sleep, taunting me with his endless threats and basically making me feel like he wants to devour my very soul.

I've lost so much weight since this has all started, the worry and fear are all but consuming me.

Why can't he just leave me the hell alone?

I don't know why he has chosen to torment me. I'm nothing special.

Each time he visits me in my dreams it's like it drains the very life force from me. I wake up weak and disoriented, I can't keep going on this way.

This is exactly why my parents decided to get involved. After all the spells that they have tried to cast to rid me of this...well the only thing I can think to call him is demon or either monster, but nothing has worked, so far.

This is one of our last options. With not knowing what else any of us could do, my family has called for this urgent meeting on my behalf.

And I hate it.

I hate all of this. The very thought of being singled out for whatever purpose, this monster has chosen me to latch on to me, it's basically driving me completely and utterly mad.

"Are you okay honey?" Seeing the look on my mothers worried face only makes this all more devastating. I never wanted her to have to ever worry about me like this.

This demon is taking so much from me. From us. I don't know how much more they or even I can take?

"Yes. I'm fine. I just hate this." I remorsefully tell her sighing in frustration.

We're standing just beyond the stage, where my parents are about to make the big announcement to all of the Legion Leaders that have so graciously taken the time out of their busy and hectic schedules to be here.

It's daunting.

"We will find a way Starla. There has to be a way to stop him." She tries to assure me.
