"You're lying!" Teresa said backing away from me as if I was a monster.

Beth shook her head and laugh, "stop joking, my lady. This is not a time to joke around that you are a murder."

Murder? "What are you talking about," I snapped at her.

"Drysdale are the kingdom of murders..." Her voice cracked.

Is this is what all of this about? Both of them were frightened by me and took a step back each time I step toward them.

Teresa broke in tears, "please don't kill me. I want to live." They think I'm a murder.

"I can't believe a person like you would do anything like that, you were so nice!" Beth stuttered and walked away from me. Teresa ran up to her and I was left alone.

I look around before making my way to the horse stable. Lighting look up at me and neigh. I slowly walk up to her and patted her head.

"We need to leave," I said quietly.

The horse took a big chunk of hay and I let her out of the stable. I jump on her back and look around to find direction.

Apparently, Drysdale were accused to be the kingdom of murder. That's not true. I grew up with the royal family and never in my life have I seen them kill anyone.

My head was overwhelmed. I look around trying to find a way out without getting caught. A forest caught my eyes and I hold on Lighting tightly. We made our way to the creepy forest. This was our only choice.

About ten miles behind my back, I could hear explosion and smell smoke and gasses. I turn around to see the town covered in fire.

A little girl was running around as the fire was coming toward her. I got off my horse and run up to her.

"You need to get out!" I shouted and took her inside the forest to hide them from the fire.

"Please help my grandma," the girl cries. I nodded, "is anyone else in here?" She shook her head, "everyone went to the festival. I stayed home to take care of my sick granny." My heart was warmth by her words. It adored me.

I've never met my grandma, I don't even know who she was. She died fews years ago and my grandpa left the family after my grandma's death. The same year that Anastasia ran away. Our family was tearing apart.

I lay the little girl next to Lighting. The girl pointed at the cabin. The fire was coming closer to the cabin. I quickly ran into the cabin and try to get in. The cabin door was locked. The fire was coming closer. I have to get in by the window. I search for the window and it was the same direction the fire are coming. I quickly jump in to see an old lady sitting and covering herself up with fright.

I help her get up, but she told me to leave her to die. I shook my head refusing to listen. "You'll get hurt! Go! I'm old enough to die!" I shook my head ignoring her.

I figured why the door wasn't open. It was lock and the grandma was handicapped, she can't open it. I pull the door open and quickly let her out. I pointed to the little girl until I heard a dog bark. I stopped running and look around for the dog.

The grandma look at me and I took her back to the little girl.

"You're not going back, are you?" The little girl asked.

"I have to," I said running toward the fire looking for the dog. Even if it was an animal, I wouldn't let them die.

"It's dangerous!" The grandma shout from the back, crying. The grandma and the girl ran in the forest shouting for help. I froze.

Soon, the fire circle around me. I was trapped. The fire dance around me as I stayed still. This is it. The last moment of my life. I finally found a gray puppy barking at my direction and trapped from a nearby cabin, scratching the window.

Before I can do anything, a loud explosion broke my eardrum and everything went black.
