{Dinah Jane}

Fire.

Blood.

Stars.

And gold.

That was what the kingdom for me was. It was shabby and broken and thats how it was. Thats how we prefered it. There was no younger me. I was infinet. I was a protecter to our own Avalon Princess. I remember walking through the blood red castle. On a day were the clouds were grey and the sky was red.

Its always like that in the Kingdom of Avalon.

There sat upon the throne, the King and Queen. No one knew their names. But I knew their daughter, the Princess.

"Go now Dinah."

The Kings voice was commanding. He handed me a knife. The knife where the moon was red, and the sun was white. The firey white sun was our trade mark. The blood red moon, the moon the Casters loved so much, was red. Blood red for war.

"Kill their princess, as they have made ours flee."

Thats where it began. Thats where my story started. I became Edens savoir. I rescued their princess from fake attacks by my own kingdom. I risked my life and when the time came to kill her, I couldnt.

She was giving me thanks. Praise. Out by the waters of their Lake Lyn. The mirror lake. The lake of dreams. In their wold the grass was greener. The skies bluer.

Karla Camila Cabello let the flowers fly into the air. Circling her like a giant halo. She looked beautiful with gold. And when she kissed me, my hand was ready. The knife to her back. And I broke away and I screamed.

My Luna. Mine. I ran that day. I ran far far away. And Karla with me. We had fallen in love as enemies. And we hid the one place the Princess of Avalon was hiding.

On that day when Lauren found us. I was terrifyed. Lauren would take her away. And I had done everything in my power to save Karla. And Lauren was just as I remembered her. Sitting on the throne at her fathers hand. With a grown of gold, eyes emerald and fierce.

The Princess of Avalon. Lauren Jaurgeui. Was destined to marry me. And I knew it. And I wanted it so badly. The mission to kill Karla? That was my final test to see if I was worthy to marry their daughter. But I wasnt.

I had fled. And when I fled I found Lauren again. Changed. A werewolf. And she marked me. And I marked Karla. Out of anger. Anger boiling inside by Lauren. And now we were back. Lauren was getting her wish, to marry me. And Karla was alone.

Only this time my mission will be completed.

When I opened my eyes the memories were gone. Karla stared at me terrifyed. And in my hand was the knife. Lauren looked at me. She knew what I had gone through. The Princess of Avalon with her fine dark hair and eyes of green silk.

Then the Princess of Eden. With her rough brown hair that was knotted in tangles, perfect brown orbs of everlasting light. I loved her. More than I ever did Lauren. And I knew Lauren knew that. Its why I ran.

But as you can see, running wont help. Not now not ever. Im back in the same position. Only worse.

"Dinah!" Karla came over and wrapped her arms around me. "Your eyes, they turned gold..."

I watched hers closely. Little crescent moons glowing grey in the darkness of her pupil. I saw the flashes of purple circling the iris.

Lauren gave me a stern warning. I know the terms I had agreed to. Both by Lauren and her father the king.

"Im fine Luna." I say standing. "Did I hurt you?"

She shakes her head. "No. But you were going nuts a bit in the head and Lauren called me over-"

"Lauren?" I interrupt her rambling. Lauren inviting her enemy over? Impossible.

But Karla nods. "Yeah she thought I was the only one who could wake you."

I give her a forced smile and hug her tight. I dont want to leave her or let her go but the wedding. Its soon. And this time I cant run.

Lauren seems to read my thoughts. "Mila," she purrs. "Dinah is fine now so you can leave."

She wraps her arms around my neck and Karla stands there, not moving.

"Im sick and tired of you Jauregui. You and all your lies. You are not going to win this. Dinah is my mate and I love her. And she belongs with me."

"You dont know the whole story." Lauren says laughing. "Why dont you tell her Dinah? Tell her the truth?"

I open my mouth but the air is sucked away and I cant breath. Karla doesnt seem angry at me though. Shes angry with Lauren.

"Dinah wouldve told me by now. And I know she cant tell me. So why dont you? Princess?" Karla spits at Lauren.

Lauren shivers. "Oh little princess. You have no idea what your emenies are capable of."

I lunge forward to save Karla but Lauren throws me backwards into the wall. A red storm has formed. And in the center is Lauren.

Karla looks unafraid. Her eyes stare right at Lauren and she melts.

The storm slows and Lauren is swaying.

I rush forward and tackle Karla. Just as there is a huge boom and the roof is blown off. When the red dust settles Lauren stands there. Her woven crown of gold atop her head. "Kill her Dinah. Complete you mission."

My muscles tense and Karla looks at me. The knife is in my hand but I have no time. Karla slams me against the wall and kisses me. A blinding light shatters through the grey sky and flowers swirl around us like a barrier.

The knife falls to the floor.
