"Don't worry princess I will protect you"
I giggled and put my tiny hands into Seven's outstretched one as he run behind the marigolds in the castle gardens we pretended like it was our barrier from "The darkness." The family dogs lady and duke were used as our enemy and as they ascended upon us I was pushed behind seven. "Run Theia run" I ran and jumped into the fountain where I know the dogs won't follow because they absolutely hate water. I look back to see seven trying to get my dogs off of him so I raised my tiny hands and lifted the dogs gently with my powers giving seven enough time to run to the fountain.
"Thank you for saving me" he kissed me on the cheek and I blushed and splashed him with water "Aren't you supposed to be my guardian," I said as I stuck my tongue out. Seven was my assigned guardian he turned 13 today and was spending his day with me. we played this game countless of times and this is the first time he allowed me to save him. He opened his mouth to respond "ye-
"Ohh no Ailana you got your dress wet again let's go get you changed" I glance to my right to see my court lady Dolette I was practically raised by her because my parents were always traveling to take care of their royal duties. "Just a few more minutes please," I said as I gave her a small pout she sighed and nodded with a warm smile on her face. Seven and I spent the rest of the noon playing before We had to go prep for the return of my parents they were coming home for my birthday tomorrow and pre-coronation but before I left he whispered to me "I promise to protect you always"
After my parent welcome home feast and them telling me and the castle staff about thier trip through Europe it was time to retire and Lady Dolette assisted me in my preparation for bed while her daughter Alexis set the fireplace. "Are you excited for your big day princess" she smiled at me while tucking me in. I gave her a toothy smile "yes I'm gonna be 8 I cant wait to spend the day with seven again" I paused and added "after my pre-coronation Of course " she chuckled and read me a bedtime story but I was out before she finished the first page. Between sleep and wake I'm certain I heard my mother's voice but I couldn't make out what she said I was certain she put a lingering kiss on my forehead.
I woke up frantically to lady Dolette daughter shaking me awake "princess theia wake up we have to go"
"What, go where Alexis what's happening"
"The darkness is here We have to go now "
She grabbed my little hands in hers and dashed for the door
"Wait I can't go in my nightwear"
She paid me no mind as we kept going we turned right and I spotted my mother with lady Dolette I forced my hands out of Alexis and ran towards them but my Mom vanished in thin air as a shadow like figure engulfs her my eyes widened and footsteps slowed as lady Dolette screamed "My queen" Alexis grabbed me and her mom "we have to go" as we were running I was suddenly pulled from Alexis grip floating towards a dark figure I came face to face with a dark figure with maroon red eyes everything was blocked out I couldn't hear the screams of lady Dolette and Alexis and right before I was consumed by the darkness I heard seven shout "THEIA"Then everything stops and I'm in complete darkness until...
Something loud that sounded like the back of a truck opening up woke me up from my recurring nightmare. The loud sound mixed with muffled voices talking outside my window caused my eyelashes to flutter open
I glanced at my clock with my eyes half-closed due to the sunrays that forced their way through my blinds. I panicked slowly as I noticed it was 8:45 A.m.
