"Wait! What time is it. 10:00 am, no no no I am supposed to be at tennis lessons because it is Saturday." It's not my fault anyways Lilly was supposed to wake me up. Why didn't she anyways. What's that smell? It smells like something's burning. Why would something be burning because our cooks are supposed to be really good at cooking and have never burnt something. Ok now I hear screaming I'm kinda getting scared. I walk out of my room to see that no one is in the hallway. There is usually always 2 or 3 people out here. I start to wander were every ones at so I go to my parents room to see if they are still in their room. I knock on their door. No answer. I open the door anyways. There is no one there. That's strange there's always people everywhere. I have to find some one and why won't the screaming stop? I go out of their bedroom and turn the corner to go towards the stairs and see fire right at the stairs. That's why everyone has been screaming about. I have to get out of here like now so I turn around and run to the opposite side of the hallway where there is another set of stairs. I run down the stairs and out the front gate. As I look around all I see is the village is on fire too and I turn around to see that the castle is on fire more than I thought. I have to go somewhere safe because I just sit here and die but what if my parents are still in their and my staff. I make the decision to get somewhere safe because if I stay we will probably all die but if I go at least I might be safe. I run to the edge of the woods and look back at my kingdom one last time because I don't know what will happen or if I'll come back at all. "Mom and Dad please be safe."

I run into the woods were I usually go for privacy. I see that the fort I made with ivy vines has been torn a little bit. I fix it with my earth powers. I have always wondered where I got my powers from. My parents told me I was born with them but why would I have been born with it if my parents don't have powers. There are rumors that people that have powers were cursed by skygazer when they were born but is is kinda weird that I'm named willow because it is a type of tree but I'll probably never know. After I fix my fort I go into it which I haven't been in for a while because of school and tennis lessons and I see everything is how it should be. I see my fairy lights hung perfectly in place. I see my hammock chair still beside my bookcase. I'm still wondering why i'd bring all this stuff out here. I can see a couple of reasons, it's very quite compared to the noise castle and no one can bother me. I'm scared the fire might reach the woods but I'm about 20 minuets away from the castle. I sit in my hammock chair and grab a book. I might as well read there's nothing else to do. I read for about an hour. I think I might as well go back to my castle to see if anything or any one survived the fire. I really hope Mom or Dad survived. What would I do without them. I would be alone. I don't like being alone. What if no one or nothing survived. I would starve. I would have no money, no one to take care of me nothing. Someone had to survive. How could everyone die. Someone better of survived I can't be alone forever I would go crazy. I have to see if anyone survived.

I go back to my castle to see nothing left of my kingdom. No people. No house. No castle. I do see one thing. I see skygazer standing in rubbish in the middle of what is left of my kingdom holding a torch. He must of done this.
