It was dark,lonely and quite. The eerie feeling seemed to fill her heart. She sat near her window and looked outside. No change. The night was putting her to sleep. Suddenly, she heard a blood curling, heart wrenching scream.

Like the purple sky before a storm , everything changed. The Illumine forests were on fire. Warriors, on horses cut through the wind.

"Maaaaa!", she screamed. Her mother came running into her room. "What's wrong,baby girl?". The little girl pointed outside. The mother looked shocked. The feeling of betrayal passed through her. "Baby girl, get your brother and go to the safe room. Call your father. Tell him that war has come." She ran for her little brother, told her father and went to the safe room.

Soon children and pregnant woman were gathering in the safe room. The baby boy was crying uncontrollably. There was a window in the safe room. Every one there could see the war. The little girl saw the war. She focused on her parents fighting by each others side. It looked like Illumine was winning until a man creeped behind her mother and cut off her head.

The little girl was in shock. She screamed. The king fell to his feet by his wife. The war had stopped,but the damage had been done. Illumine was quite. The king strong ,powerful and brave man cried and howled for his wife.

The little girl saw her mother's
head being cut off. The little girl cried. The little girl was Tara.

Princess Tara P.O.V

I woke up with cold sweat pouring down my face. The nightmares had begun again. I hated them. The royal doctor told that once it stopped, it would not return. But it had, and it felt like a warning. And I am ready. For anything. I am strong and brave. I'm ready. Bring it on Calder. I will avenge my mothers death and I will win.
