Past time when Remi, Lilly, and Hennesse are 14 years old;

My vison was blurred, and my body was wet. I could feel the sand bellow my body, and the rain beating down on me. I was scared. I couldn't tell where I was, and I was in the eye of the storm. Soft tears trickled down my face, as I frantically looked around. My castle had just been attacked, and my village was burned till it was nothing but wet ashes. I stood up and tried to walk but quickly fell. When I looked down I saw that my calf was split down the middle. I let out a groan of pain as I held it close to my body. I took the black bandanna that held my hair back, and wrapped it around my leg. I yet agian tried to stand up, this time actually succeeding. My first few steps were wobblely, but I soon got the hang of it. Wind brushed mu bare arms an legs. I wore a black tank top, a pair of shorts, and I had no shoes. My hair hung low in front if my face as I made my way through storm searching for any possible shelter. I wanted to give up so badly, but I didn't. A Sparrow always wins, as my father would say. I kept pushing. I will fight for my last breath! I pushed through my pain with closed eyes and a beating heart.

I wailed as I tripped and fell on the ground. I was only a mere child. A small 14 year old girl, the angle on my left shoulder said, wanting me to give up. But the devil on my other shoulder was screaming for me to stop being a bitch and get up. To stop being that wee little piaret princess everyone thinks I am. All my anger, all my rage, all my sadness, every bad sly comment anyone has ever made about me was thrown into my streagth. Second by second, minute by minute I became stronger. As I stood I heard someone screaming my name.
" REMI!" As I turn my head I see my brother and my best friend running towards me. I blinked to make sure it was real. The image never changed. Once they finally made it over to me, my brother Hennessey threw me on to my best friend Lillians back.

Lillian began running, but Hennessey wasn't coming with us. He just stood still. I pushed myself off Lillys back and limped over to him. I grabbed his arm and tried to pull him, he didn't budge. " REMI RUN! RUN AND DON'T COME BACK! WAIT FOR THE STORM TO END THEN GET ON A SHIP AND GO AS FAR AWAY FROM THE CASTLE AS POSSIBLE!"

He pushed my hand off of him before running away. I followed and grabbed his arm again, " NO NESS! I'M NOT LEAVING YOU! WE ARE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM WE HAVE TO SEEK SHELTER!" He shook his head and wiped away his tears,  he looked behind me and nodded. All the sudden Lillian grabbed my arms and started pulling me away.
" WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS! PLEASE HENNESSEY YOU PROMISED YOU'D NEVER LEAVE ME! DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Hennessey screamed, " I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" And with that he ran into the water of the ocean. A tornado was forming and picking up my brother. The first boy I've ever loved with all my heart.

My vison goes black, but I can still hear the rain. It was no normal storm it was a hurricane.

The sky was black with specs of blue, green, purple, and yellow.

And that was the day my royal life ended.
