Prologue
"Nooo," i screamed as i kissed my father, King Zather's, cheek.. His skin was ice cold and there was a stillness about him that made me shudder.The merciless wind lashed at me as i gazed at my step mother. Her face masked her true emotions. Even though she forced herself to cry. on the inside she was smiling and even laughing. " You did this," I whispered to her. " Now Rocket dear..." How dare she call me dear. I wasn't listening anymore."You did this," i screamed. I fingered the dagger ,which was given to me by my dad, by my side.I grabbed it then leaped at her. All my sadness evaporated as i slashed wildly at her. It was replaced with anger, hatred, and frustration.The only thing i heard was the blood pounding in my ears. I knew she was stronger than me but i didn't care. She knocked the dagger from my hand leaving me defenseless. She pinned me to the ground and roughly tied up my hands and feet and. She started to drag me on the on the dirt ground. I didn't know where she was taking me or what she was going to do to me. The whole way i was silent. I knew if I screamed nobody would hear me but it might make my step mom even angrier. Suddenly I heard it. The rushing gurgling sound of the river. Everyone in The Underworld fears water. Is she really going to kill me I thought. A 13 year old girl. Right then I wished that I had never told her that I knew the truth about my father if i hadn't I could have told the Guards in private.Then i wouldn't be here now. I struggled more than ever this was my last chance but it was no use. I know I never should have but I gave up. Finally the gurgling got louder until it was a rumble. I wished it was all a dream that i would wake up and see my father but i knew it was real the pain was too great. With one last breath I was pushed into the dark icy cold water. I screamed before I hit the water but I knew no one could here me. The pain when I hit the water was great but I ignored it. I was only focused on swimming but couldn't. The only thing I could do was thrash in the water until I was too tired. My arms and legs felt like rocks and my lungs screamed for air. Outside the water i heard her laughing. That was it I hated her for everything. For this. For killing my father. I would get her cause her the pain that I felt. How i don't know or care. That last thought calmed me and I let the dizzying blackness swallow me up.
That's the last thing I remember before waking up in the brightest place I've ever been. I was in a room with 6 little beds with bright white sheets and blue pillows. I was the only person in here. I wasn't panicked because everything seemed so calm but i jumped when the door opened. A short plump little woman with thick brown hair walked in. " Oh your awake. How are you feeling?" "Fine," I stammered even though my head still hurt a little " Where am I ?" " Oh yes welcome to Skyworld."
