This is my first Deltora Quest fanfiction. I've read all the books except for the first one in the third series dubbed the name: Dragon's Nest. This Fanfiction is set JUST AFTER Lief has died. And when I mean just after I mean like ten minutes after. Enjoy! This chapter is mostly talking. To understand most of the stuff in this story, I'd suggest you'd read it.

Chapter 1: Raw Emotions.

"Why, Why did he have to die!" I asked my mum as she entered the room looking very lonely and grim.

"He died of old age.. Nobody could stop it." My mum, Jasmine said.

"But.. It wasn't his time.. I still need him!" I shouted at my mum, I didn't care that tears were starting to build up in my eyes.

"We all needed him.. But everybody needs to go at sometime." Mum said.

I heard my sister, Anna playing her stupid lute whilst everybody was talking.

"Would you shut that lute up!" I yelled at her, Tears coming out of my eyes.

She stared at me with giant eyes. I hated it when she looked at me as if she was waiting for me to move like that.

"No.. It calms me down!" She shouted back at me.

"Well it makes me annoyed! Can't you do it somewhere else?" I shouted back at her.

"NO I CANT! HERE IS WHERE I CAN BE CLOSEST TO DAD." She shouted at me, Starting to cry. Wow.. She was a wimp.

"Well nobody needs you to play useless music whilst someone has just died!" I screamed at her, my annoyance being replaced with anger.

She then got up and ran away with tears in her eyes. Looks like I struck a note with her.

"That was mean.. You know you didn't need to do that." Mum told me.

"Well sometimes she needs to shut up." I answered back.

"I'm going into town" I told my mum, her expression changed from a sad look to a shocked look.

"You can't!" She almost screamed.

"Why is that?" I asked her.

"B b because ummmm..." She said whilst trying to come up with a reason.

"You need to goto your room for what you did to your sister!"

I fully glared at her, Both of us knew why she didn't want me to go into town. It was because I was born two minutes before my brother Jarred. I was the heir to the throne.

"You know thats not the reason" I yelled at her.

"Doom I need you please..!" She yelled into the castles hall's.

He came in, Looking his normal Non-Moody self. She whispered into his ear and his face turned into a shocked position.

"Your not going out" Doom told me abruptly.

Doom is my grandfather... He looks younger than my mother but that was due to the experiments the Shadow Lord did upon him. He's immortal but not deathless.

"I'm going out whether you want me to or not." I told him.

Within a second of me saying that, He twisted my arm behind my back and he dragged me into my room.

"Your staying in here until your father's body is moved." He abruptly told me.

He shut the door behind him, A second later I heard the door lock shut.

Great... What do I do now?

I got up and I looked down at the bustling city of Del, only it wasn't bustling. A few days ago everybody was happy until my father became sick. Ever since then everybody's looked sad. I quickly saw out of the corner of my eye a blue flag moving through the wind. I forgot there was a flag there.

"Thats my escape route!" I told myself, Grinning.

I quickly smashed my window open with a chair, Placed it back, Wrote a note saying that I was fine but I was defying the orders that I was given, I tied my bedsheets together to make a few ropes. (I had long bedsheets) And I quickly lassoo'd it around the flag pole. I slid myself out of the window into the sky, clinging onto the bedsheet rope I had created. I quickly slid into the open window next to mine and I ran into it.

I checked the door to my way out. Success! It wasn't locked. I quickly raced down the stairs and due to the commotion going on. I managed to slip myself out.

I approached the guard at the gate.

"Are you allowed out.. My lord with your father's death and everything?" He asked me.

"Yes, Or how would I be let out of the castle, You know how they are treating my fathers death suspiciously with all the tight guards and everything." I told the guard.

"Okay then.." He responded to me, Then opening the gate.

I walked out and smelt the fresh air of freedom.

Please R+R and maybe favourite. It'll keep me doing this story!
