Betrayed

Chapter 1- Fate

Once upon a time, wait what am I saying. This has to deal with princesses and all but really? Once upon a time?! Okay let me redo this.

This is a story made in hell.

There we go!

Anyway, a little baby princess, named Tiaga was born in a high tower. She had a loving mom and dad, her dad was king of the great kingdom. The kingdom is modern, but old. Its like a princess story with cell phones and everything else. So now that I got that explained- Tiaga was beautiful with red fiery hair and big brown eyes that shimmered. Tiaga would become mute and meet her best friend someday. That's where Athena comes along.

Athena, born on the same day as Tiaga, grew up in a poor family in a little shack. She had silvery white hair, and electric blue eyes. She is part of her family business. She only wants her parents to be proud of her. She isn't poor like, starving and no clothes. Her family makes just enough to supply them with what they need.

Let's get on the story, shall we?

Tiaga was being held by her loving mother. Her mom's long curly blonde hair stretches down and tickles the little babies cheeks. Her mother was getting her ready for her third birthday party. This was the day her baby would become a princess, she would get her first tiara and everything. Tiaga's mother could almost cry at the thought, it was happy tears though.

She started to change the little baby into the dark purple dress that the tailor had made just for this event. It had ribbons and hearts. It was the cutest little thing anyone could have ever saw. Tiaga's mom, her name is Leena picked up Tiaga and snuggled her into her chest. She had an off putting feeling and she wanted to feel better. Of course, she forgets everything around her.  A loud crash spooks Leena and she sets down her baby. "Do. Not. Move." She commands.

Of course, being the almost three year old she is, she doesn't listen and follow her mom out into the long hall way. Her mom stops and she does as well, listen for why she stopped. A loud scream echos through the hall, her mom goes into a full out sprint. The child, with her chubby legs, chugs right behind her.

When she arrives to the incident, she hides behind the corner. Her father lay beside the old grandfather clock without a head. She lets out a shriek, spotting the murders. A woman with long shiny white hair and a man with blue eyes spots her and Leena. Leena sees that her child had disobeyed her rule and calls for guards to get her out of here. Tiaga's aunt, Layna, comes running in. Grabbing the child and running away, Tiaga's mother does not let the murders follow, so she is punished.  The murders grab her mom and slit her throat, right in front of the child. Tiaga explodes into tears, crying into her aunt's shoulders.

How could a day so great, turn into a nightmare?

---In the cabin---

Athena is sitting in front of the fireplace with her toy blocks. Her uncle is sitting in his chair reading the news paper. Athena has been wondering all night where her mom and pap gone, they been gone for a while. Her curiosity gets the best of her and she looks to her uncle. Being like a second father to Athena he knows she has a question.

"Yes, Athena?" He smiles.

"Where mama and papa?" She says in her baby voice.

"They are at work." He admires his nieces long shiny silver hair she got from her mother and her bright eyes, from her father.

'What doing?"

"Working" Athena gives her uncle a 'duh' face and goes back to playing with her blocks. Why wouldn't her uncle tell her? Is it that big of secret? She shrugged it off and went back to her tall tower. Then she heard the door open and slam, signaling the arrival of her parents. She stood up and rushed to the door. Her parents were covered in mud, sweat and- blood.

"What doing outside?" She stares at the blood in her moms white hair. "Why dirty?"

Her father slammed his fist on the table "Goddammit, Athena! Stop asking so many questions!" Her father roared. She started to cry and run back into the den. He rubs his hand on his face, being stressed. He didn't mean to snap at her. Athena, however is use to being snapped at, she is smart. She hides behind the corner of the door to the den and kitchen, waiting for her father to speak.

"Did you get the family?" Her uncle looks to his brother.

"Yes, except the stupid kid!" Her father growls.

"We almost had her, but the stupid aunt came in and ran off with her. We would of got them both, except the guards came rushing in. We had to get out of there." Her mother explained.

What were they talking about, Athena wondered. She decided to ignore them, for it was probably going to cause more trouble to ask about it later.

She missed the last thing her dad said.

"Athena will have to kill."
