Star stands in an empty hallway, feeling a hole in her heart. "This should have never happened. I should have been watching out for him like he always did for me. It's all my fault." Tears started streaming down her face and she let out an ear-piercing shriek. "I failed him!"
Two Weeks Earlier
"Marco! I need to tell you something. I asked Tom to do some scouting for me and he got a tip about your parents. But I wouldn't worry about it." "Wait, what?! Let's go tell them!" "It's fine Marco. Nothing has happened to them before. Why would something happen now?" "Okay Star, I trust you." They all went about their day as usual. Meanwhile back at the Diaz house, there was a knock on the door. "Oh, I'll see who it is!" Mrs Diaz got up and answered the door. She found a troop of guards standing outside
A couple hours later, a messenger comes rushing into the castle. "Excuse me, where's Marco Diaz?" Marco makes his way towards him. "I'm Marco Diaz. What's the problem?" The messenger let out a sigh with a troubling look. He was struggling to tell him the news. Marco was feeling nervous. "S-sir? What happened?!" "I'm sorry Marco, but your parents are dead. They were attacked. The house was found in shambles along with their bodies. I give you all my condolences." Marco started stumbling back. He couldn't keep his balance. "Marco? Are you okay?" "Uh y-yeah." He held his head as he stood up. He began hyperventilating at what he just heard. Then something changed inside him. Something snapped. He had a menacing look on his face. As he started to walk away, he quietly said to himself "There's somebody I need to talk to."
