Prologue

Once again we faced our end. I couldn't sum up the right emotions though as here in this moment everything was good. I stood in the meadow surrounded by my loved ones- everyone that I held dear. If I was to die today it would not be a sad end for my family was here- I was not alone.

Their eyes-dead ice pools of hatred- glared at us for we had something better than they did, something they didn't. Love. They could end our lives but our love could never be damaged or over written. Their eyes danced with excitement, raking over my family- no doubt deciding who to kill first. If I was to die it was to be on my family's behalf, I would die an honourable death- fighting for my family's survival.

Their leader held my gaze as he stepped forward, signalling the start of the battle, the battle for my life, my family's life even. This was it. The outcome of this would not only decide my fate but the fate of others around the world- dear friends, family, people who stood for what was right. His army descended on us

"I love you all" was quite possibly the last thing I could say to my family. Would I have the chance to say that again, to show how much they meant to me? A red mist fell upon me and I felt an explosion inside my heart.
