The Assassin Queen

Chapter One

At the beginning of time, there were four women and four men. Each woman and man had a symbol or a mark, signify that the other was their soul mates. Each couple then went out and established land to make a Kingdom for themselves.

The Lights, Jackson, and Carrie found fartlek land to build their kingdom. They had fifteen kids together, one after the other. Each of their kids took lands from their parents; lands that their parents had set aside to grow the Light name. Blake was one of the youngest but always felt as if he didn't fit in. When it was his turn to leave the kingdom and start his own; he fell in love with someone who was not his mate.

When he found his mate, Blake didn't want her. His soulmate was so crushed that she cried out to the moon goddess for help. The moon goddess heard her and decided to punish Blake Light. She cursed all of the people who lived in the Blake's Kingdom which was called the Black Light Kingdom, especially his family line.

She was the strongest and most fearless woman he had ever met. She was courageous in all ways. She was a goddess that walked among men. Loved and feared by so many people. She was smart and caring, especially to those who truly knew her.

However, she has done some fucked up things. She was brought up to be a killer and that is what she did. She was feared by many. People would shut their door or look away when she walked through the kingdom. She never failed her king, because if she did, she could not live with herself. The kingdom depended on her success.

At the young age of five, her parents were killed in the great war that only damaged the kingdom. They were the Black Light Kingdoms' greatest warriors. They were so strong but yet so terrified to leave their baby girl behind. Luckily, the king and queen had made an agreement with the fearless warriors. When the king and queen heard of the death of the great warriors, they carefully broke the news to her. Emotions that she didn't have the words for came over her like nothing she had ever felt. She was scared, lonely, and most of all hated the king and queen for sending her parents away. She wished she could have done something to help them, but she was far too young.

King Ashton was a great king and knew just what he had to do. He talked with Queen Isabella, and both agreed. The night that changed her life, the king went into the girl's bedchambers. The King found the girl hugging her doll. Charlotte's favorite doll that looked like her mother.

"Charlotte, I think we need to talk." The King stated sitting on the bed. Nothing. The little girl sat there, tears in her eyes and looked away from the King.

"Charlotte, what do you want to be when you grow up?" He asked getting off the bed. Again nothing from the little girl. He scanned the room and noticed an uneaten tray of food. He sighed knowing the girl's pain, for he had felt it too; the loss of parents at a young age.

"You know Charlotte, I lost my parents at the age of eleven." The girl looked at him, egging him on; hoping to feel some companionship. "They were murdered, by the Dream Light Kingdoms Left." Waves of emotion began to overcome him. He closed his eyes and composed himself. "I was forced to be king at such a young age, but I managed and had help. The emotions you are feeling, the hurt in your heart, you are not alone. I know how to help you but you need to talk to me."

The young girl looked at her doll and set it aside. She scooted down to the edge of the bed. She straightened her back and looked at the king. She wanted to say something but words were not her friend at the time. The king looked back at the girl noticed she had changed her posture. She looked strong even at her age. She looked like she could be something. She could change the course of the kingdom.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" He asked her sitting next to her. He fiddled with a ring on his finger. She looked up at him and smiled.
