"I love you Arian.." they said while they hugged me with tearful eyes

"I love you too...."

*BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!"

"Go now! GO!!!"

I ran through the backdoor and went to the dark alley where I was safe from the chaos..I stopped for a moment and looked back to a distance where my house was..

/ they said they would catch up.../

I went back to my house still unseen. Until I heard a shrill from the inside..I saw a crack in the wall and I peeked through it. Tears started to roll from my eyes and a chill coursed through my spine and throught my body.

"Mom....Dad......."

*sobs*

Through my tears I managed to take a look at the murderer..It was a tall man wearing a black robe that reached the floor and he was wearing a mask, holding a dagger dripping with blood..and on his finger..a dragon ring made of a shiny yellow metal-gold.

He was about to remove his mask....when a man shouted from the outside, I couldn't understand what they were saying but I started to get worried..

/ What if I get caught? What would happen? What would they do to me? Will I end up like my parents? Maybe...it's a good thing that I die...then I could be with my parents.......No! I mustive! I must avenge their deaths! /

"Hey you! Kid!!!"

/ Oh no!!! I'm spotted/

I ran as fast as I could but then...

/ A dead end!!! /

"Hahahaha! nowhere to run to now kid!!"

/ God!! Mom....Dad.....anyone!!! Please........save..me....... /

I closed my eyes and still trembling with fear..

/ Huh...I'm....not dead?!!! /

I opened my eyes and saw blood at my feet. I saw where the blood came from...It was from the manwho chased me...he's dead.....and standing beside the dead corpse was a man....half of his face was covered by a white cloth..it was dark but I could see his features clearly.. he had sharp, dark blue ayes...and his jet black hair flowed with the wind.

He walked towards me and stretched out his hand...then he spoke

"Ahhh!!" I sat up on my bed.

[ A/N: Character

Name: Nayla Arian Montefalco

Aged: 18

Location: Kingdom of Aldrania,Eccentia

Family:

Mother: Deceased

Father: Deceased

Relatives:

Delysia Carol Monroe (Aunt)

Bella Lancy Monroe (Cousin) ]

I lived with my Aunt ever since my parents died. Her husband loved my mother more than he loved her which may explain why she's always so cruel to me. She has a daughter a few months younger than me, my cousin. Who has nothing else better to do than to work with her mother in making my life miserable.

"ARIAANNN!!! GET UP AND GET DOWN HERE!!!" shouted my aunt from downstairs.

I changed my clothes and fixed my hair, nut for a moment my eyes fixed on the heart pendant lying on the table at the side of my bed. It was from my mother, the last thing that I have that reminds me of them. Finally I went down the stairs. I stopped at the foot of the stairs when I saw an unfamiliar man infront of me. He was tall, he had blonde hair and red playful eyes. He wore somewhat formal clothes, signifying he has a high social status in Eccentia.

"Arian, This is Howard Axins Denyrion. I'm sure you've heard of him.." said my aunt introducing me to the man standing infront of me

"No. I haven't" I sad blankly.

The smile on his face immediately faded away.

"Ehem..well you should get to know him bettter..." she paused while keeeping that composed look on her face.

"Because....you two are now...engaged"
