Kara Rose Pitchiner

After her home had been raided by the Dream Pirates, her father, General of the Golden Army, had left to defend her, her twin sister, and her mother, as well as their estate. Her whole life she had been a quiet, simple, and shy child, but her parents never loved her any less. Still, her twin sister, Emily Jane, always managed to seal their attention by being wild and joyful, constantly trying to be like their father, ultimately making her the favored child, at least in her mind. Kara looked up to her father and loved him to no end, in which she expressed by making him paintings and singing to him when he was home. Her father adored his dear Kara, but rarely got to give her the attention she deserved because of his duty as general and his energy filled other daughter: Emily Jane. He always felt bad for Kara, but always managed to bring her a little "treasure," back from battles which she kept in a secret box beneath her bed. Kara's life had never seen a downside, except from her personality, until one raid made by the Dream Pirates. A small band of them, nothing her father couldn't handle, attacked their home. She, her mother, and Emily Jane had begun to make the way to the basement. Her mother and Emily Jane had already rounded the corner, and just as she was about to, one of the Dream Pirates materialized out of nowhere and swung his black sword at her. Kara's face dodged the blade, but not so much of the next attack. A whip of black sand shot out and sliced along her throat. It didn't hit anything life threatening, but it did hit and damage her vocal chords to the point where the could no longer speak. Her father had showed up right after the pirate's fatal attack, but upon seeing Kara, felt a pool of guilt rise up in him. Kara had been taken care of and healed until she could do things on her own again. Unfortunately, a nasty scar was left across Kara's neck, constantly reminding her father of how her was unable to reach his daughter in time, costing her, her voice, and making her an even quieter child. This wasn't the only effect it had on her father. Now, he made sure that Kara was always under the watch of someone, that her doo was locked at night, as well as her windows. Her father became rather strict with the injury incident, and wouldn't allow her to come outside without his consent. In that case, Kara rarely to never came out of her bedroom. It was her safe haven now; her best friend. Her father made sure that no Dream Pirate could enter the room, yet if there happened, just happened, to be another attack, there was a special chute that she could escape through, where it lead to the edge of the estate. It bothered her that her father blamed himself so much for her new disability to speak, that she was afraid to be around him, since he never let her do anything on her own anymore. Due to this, she remained in her room almost every day. She found ways to entertain herself by painting her walls with he constellations of the stars that her sister sailed so often in her littler schooner. She was fairly jealous of Emily Jane, but she simply took it out in her paintings and made them into her thoughts and feelings. Eventually, her life story was woven into her paintings, but she never let her family see them.

TIME LAPSE:
All had been as normal as possible in Kara's life and she had become rather content with not being able to speak. She could yell out words and scream at the top of her lungs, but not a sound would come out. Just as she had begun to get used to this new style of life, everything was turned upside down. The Dream Pirates returned but with a number men equaled to a small army. Her father, of course, left to go and fight off the threat with some others, while her mother and sister were trying to find a means of safe escape. Kara didn't have to think twice when it came to escaping. Yet, just to her luck, the chute passage wouldn't open. In that case, Kara decided that an injury was better than death and ran into the glass window, instantly shattering it and falling from the second story. When she landed, she managed to twist her ankle and break her wrist, but she bigger problems to face. So she sucked in the pain, sought out the courage and ran. As fast as she possibly could to the very edge of the estate, where she came to a halt. There was no where else to go. She could keep running, but she'd wind up back at the estate. In that case she decided, well not really, to just sit there and wait for fate to catch up with her. She didn't know even if her sister and mother survived, so she saw to real reason to keep living. The sounds of feet could be heard , so she braced herself for the worst. The sounds got closer, but when the pirates emerged, they didn't turn out to be pirates at all. Kara didn't dare open her eyes, in fear of seeing her killer, but instead of a cold sword blade on her shoulder, she felt a warmth. This surprised her, causing her eyes to snap open and face the owner of the warming sensation. She came to find something, or one, that she'd never expected to see in all of her existence. Standing boldly in front of her was a small man with just a single curl of hair upon his head. He was completely dressed in white clothing from head to toe and wore a bright smile upon his face. The most peculiar thing about this figure was the white light that emitted from all around him. Kara knew this character more that she even knew herself. She had seen him in her dreams, but never spoken to him, just had tea parties and conversations with pictures and hand gestures, due to her lack of voice. The entity never had shared his name with her, but Kara felt the trusting vibe that he gave off, and immediately trusted him. So when he offered her his hand, she didn't hesitate to grab hold of it, even if she didn't know where he would take her, or his intentions. Nonetheless, she felt safe with this man in white, her savior, and let him lead her away from her near death.

The Man in White, as called by Kara, took her to his home, on the small moon orbiting the planet Earth. Kara was welcomed with open arms by the man's family. She quickly became part of his family and lived with them, though it was unknown to her that she was on a moon. Her injuries healed over time, except her voice of course, and she was back on her feet, and enjoying her new life.

SMALL TIME LAPSE:
Kara was only fourteen when time repeated itself, and her new home was attacked by the Dream Pirates, with a new leader this time. She was hidden away in a small space below the estate, while they went to defend their home alone. They wouldn't allow Kara to fight, due to her past experiences with the Pirates, which none of them wished for her to go through again. From her hiding space, she fully believed she was safe, for once, until a large piece of the estate came crashing through, allowing the intruders access to her. She scrambled out of the wreckage, a little beat up, but well enough to walk. The sight before her absolutely crushed her heart. Black sand covered the premises. Wait? Black SAND? Dream Pirates were everywhere, attacking by the lot. Kara was jumped by a Nightmare, the steads of the Pirates. It surprised her, but she was able to defend herself rather well and defeated the Nightmare. After that small battle, she felt stronger, braver, like she could take on a whole army...this army.

Her foster family was being attacked by more Pirates and Nightmares than they could handle. One after another, they perished, a finishing blow by an unknown source finishing them. It all happened so suddenly, and right before her eyes as well. The hatred she felt towards the Pirates and whomever was commanding them, welled deeply within her. She now felt nothing but anger, hatred, and the crave for revenge. She felt like the "coldest," person in the world. With his back turned, Kara caught sight of the pirate who had killed her foster family. With no thought at all, she picked up the closest object she could reach: a sword from a fallen pirate, and ran at the killer. As she got closer, she realized that the killer wasn't a pirate, but a...human maybe? Knowing that she could never bring herself to kill an actual human, she stopped dead in her tracks, only a few feet away from him. Still, the anger and want for revenge boiled inside her, so instead she raised her fists at the man, aiming for his head. Yet, before she could lay a finger on him, she felt a sudden searing pain in her lower abdomen. It felt like the air, every ounce of it, had been taken away from her and she couldn't breathe. With wide eyes, she glanced down to see the cause of the pain. What she found caused her heart to race...and then pause. There, sticking straight through her was the sword she had grabbed earlier, then dropped in order to use her fists. Without thinking, Kara let out a blood curdling scream, she didn't know she withheld, as tears rolled over her eyes. The killer she was about to attack, turned around with a cold and evil glare on his face, but when he saw Kara and the sword impaling her, his eyes widened in horror. Feeling a jerk, then a immediate emptiness, Kara knew the sword had been pulled from her body. Looking up, she tried to make out the face of the man she was about to attack, but all she could see were blurs, due to the rapidly falling tears.

The man just stood and stared at the girl before him, not believing his eyes.
How could she still be alive? Her mother was dead, her sister missing, and he had been transformed into a monster; the King of Nightmares.
No words came out of his mouth as he watched his second daughter be killed right before him, by his own army of nightmares.

Kara felt a sudden coldness wash over her as she collapsed on her knees, then to her side. A white streak flashed across her vision, and she knew the Man in White had finally come. Just a bit too late. Nothing needed to be done or forced, as the Man in White approached, fury in his eyes. The King of Nightmares called off his army, ordering them to leave(heading for Earth). Before he left, he took once last glance at the limp and dying body that had once been his loveable daughter, Kara Rose. He turned to leave, holding back a tear that threatened to spill over, before leaving to drown in his guilt and hatred for what he'd become.

Kara could feel the life slowly leaving her body, as the Man in White leaned over her crying. He continued to silently sob, as he carried his last family member's body to the shattered remains of his home. He took her body to a special room, closed off from the rest of the estate, that held the once thing that could possibly save her life. In the room, there was nothing but a simple tree, a hollow one at that. The tree was meant to sustain any life form for any period of time and even heal a dying one. Placing her body in the tree, the bark slowly became coated in a thin layer of ice and the room became overrun by shadows. As the tree sealed her body in its hollows, Kara took her last breathes, but managed to smile once more at the Man in White who had saved her once from oblivion and allowed her another chance at life. She was a bit disappointed that she didn't get to do all the things that she wanted to, but in truth she was beyond grateful for the simple life that she had been gifted to live.
