My life has been normal. Well, it was until last night. I'll start from the beginning. I was in my bedroom when it all went down. Suddenly, there was a knock on my bedroom window. Getting off my bed, I mutter to myself, who is at my window at this time at night. I looked outside to find nothing. I turned back towards my bed and nearly scream.There was a small elf girl sitting on my bed. She had curly red hair that was up in twin tails, and wore a bloodred dress that matched her blue eyes perfectly. Not remembering if I shut and locked my door when I came in, which could have allowed her to get into my room unnoticed. Struggling to find the find the words to say, I simply stuttered the words

"H...how did you g...get in my r...room?"She just calmly said."Never mind that just follow me ."

Still a bit freaked out,but I managed to say,"I'm not going anywhere with you until I know your name." She gives me a look that says 'you are going to go even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming.' But instead of killing me, she simply said, "My name is Veronica, and I have been sent here to tell you the truth behind your past, Lady Lovelock." Now I felt as if this was some kind of sick joke but I decided to push that feelin aside and respond politely

"I think you have the wrong person I already know my past, and please don't call me Lady Lovelock I don't come from a royal bloodline my name is simply just Lillianna Lovelock." "Clearly you have a lot to learn." Veronica muttered.

All of a sudden, Veronica grabbed ahold of my hand and started running, "Hey, whoa, let go! where are you taking me?" I yelled as Veronica dragged me out of my house. By the time we stopped, I had collapsed onto the ground, trying to catch my breath. I soon realized I was right outside the gates of the neighboring cemetery. I turned around and slowly said,

"Why did you bring me to a cemetery? Do you plan on killing me?"

Veronica winced slightly at my harsh words, and she quietly said,"No, I brought you here to break an ancient curse." I look at Veronica as if she had just grown a second head or something. Raising my voice slightly, and I say in a way that venom is laced into every word that leaves my mouth."How do you expect me to break a curse that I know nothing about, and honestly don't want to be any part of." Veronica looked as if she almost in tears at this point."The curse of the Lovelock family. However not everyone in the family has the curse, only the first born daughters of the Lovelock family inherit the curse." She said sadly.

Veronica continues on by saying beginning to shout now too, "Well too damn bad, you are the first and only daughter of the late celestial elf king and queen. Meaning you are deeply entangled in all of this. There is nothing you can do but journey to your home world, Celestina the world of stars to end this curse that has plagued your family for generations."
