A Mistake, A Change, And a Lie

Prologue part 1: Thunder clan

A bead of sweat escaped my hair. "Sebastian,why are we taking the dessert short cut? There are scary bandits here!" I exclaimed. " Now Phoebe, it's the quickest way home." Sebastian scolded. I was 9 and I was here living with Sebastian because my mommy sold me. I was little so i didn't understand a thing about this selling children thing. But now i clearly do. 

" Sebastian, you sure it's safe?" I asked uncertain. He hesitated for a bit then nodded like he was unsure of the answer.

" Put your hands up and drop all belongings! " Someone shouted and a whole group of bandits came running out. They held swords with a dark swirl engraved into it.

I screamed and grabbed Sebastian in fear. 

"Forward everyone!" Sebastian barked like he was commanding and army. Everyone surged into battle. I admired his courage.

"Sebastian, your not gonna leave right?" I whispered scared. His eyes flashed with so many emotions i couldn't count.

I grabbed his arm afraid that he was gonna leave.

He pried my fingers off him and ran off.

I fell towards the sharp part of the carriage, waiting for the impact. My shoulder got dislocated from the impact.

I cried in pain. I heard voices outside " There's someone in there" One exclaimed in glee. They quickly grabbed me by the dislocated shoulder purposely. I cried at the pain once again. " Let's take her to Lockwood! He needs the blood anyways." Someone said. 

I looked everywhere with a frantic look in my eyes. I tried to hide but failed, so they dragged me towards a long, deep, sand pit.

He took a great shove a threw me in. It took a few moments to adjust my eyes to the darkness but now I could see. A man with a gold mask took a good long stare at me. I flinched at his gaze.

I was so scared as i took in the scenery. It was filthy place with cobwebs strewed all over the place. He what then said still haunts me right now " She's so small. Are you sure her blood is enough for today?" He complained. Oh my god, is he gonna eat me? 

"Sir, i believe it's enough for today." Someone bowed and said. "Well than," He said. He waved his hand and a man with a knife strode towards me.

"Please don't eat me, please don't eat me."I Muttered under my breath. The man took a mighty swing.

Blue lightning flashed between the sword. Clang! What happened? A older girl in her twenties or thirties stood in front of me.

"Skylar! I hate you! You interrupt every time! I hate your stupid little warrior batch and i will kill you today!" The man in the golden mask roared out of anger. A Gold glow with such a big force sent me tumbling down to my bum. The blue lightning matched the golden glow and sent the man flying.

The girl who i presumed was named Skylar grabbed my wrist and said "C'mon, we gotta run! This is are last chance!" and she flew with me dragged behind her up the sand pit. I looked at her wide eyed. I heard that there are 7 clans. Thunder clan, Sparrow clan, Shadow clan, Wind clan, River clan,Dove clan, and Snow clan. Raven, leader of sparrow clan, Scar, Leader of shadow clan, Wanda, leader of wind clan, Ripple, leader of River clan, Dex, leader of dove clan, Ivery, Leader of snow clan, and Skylar- 

Something clicked in my mind, Skylar was leader of the The most powerful clan, Thunder clan. 

"You okay?" Her voice shook me back to reality. I didn't dare speak. A low life like me shouldn't be asked that.  I should be the one asking her that. I mean come on people, she's a clan leader. I wasn't even a warrior that was part of her clan.

So I just nodded. I just stared after at her. She had a neat bun on her head and one of those long sleeve ancient dresses. Her sword neatly inside the case slung across her shoulder.

" C'mon let's go see if my father might let you become a warrior like my little sister Nomi" She gestured. 

I stared intently at her trying to catch a lie in her voice. She was being so kind to a low life like me. I looked behind me thinking someone else was behind me she was talking to. She shook her head meaning no one was behind me and she was talking to me. I gaped at her like she had grown two heads.

"C'mon!" She shouted and grabbed my hand. She pulled out her sword and made it fly in the air. She hopped onto it while she dragged me also onto the sword.

"Phoebe, right?" She asked. I nodded not speaking. Sebastian told me when you see a clan leader you bow down and don't speak till they pass. He never told me why. I always wondered, because nobody else did this bow down thing.

I looked down as we flew across mountains and rivers. I saw the mountain where shadow clan is. I shuddered, Shadow clan is the creepiest clan cause they were part of the Lockwood & Co but they left.

Sebastian has told me that the sparrow and shadow clan are the ones we must trust.  But, other people say that they are they worst clans ever. I have never learned who to believe. But know- Ok lets not talk about now.

"Phoebe, do you speak English?" Skylar asked. I nodded. "Phoebe please speak your driving me crazy." Skylar grumbled.

"Okay" I said really quiet so she had to strain to hear. We came to a sop suddenly. I looked over her shoulder and saw a huge mountain with a little arch with the words Thunder clan engraved onto it.

"Follow me." Skylar whispered. She grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the arch. There was a giant building also with the words Thunder clan painted onto it. She started dragging me towards the building.

"That's where the leader is" Skylar informed me. 

It was time for me to meet the leader, Seth Rubic.
