"You have disobeyed me. Now you shall pay the price."
"Father, I didn't mean to disappoint you."
"It's too late to apologize. You must pay the price!"
ZAP!

Allison's eyelids fluttered open as she felt the rays of sun hit her face. She groaned and pulled her blanket over her face.
"Allison, get up or you'll be late!" A woman's voice called from downstairs.
The girl shot up from her laying down position and glanced out the window.
"Oh shoot!" Allison jumped out of her bed when she saw how high the sun was in the sky and ran over to her wooden dresser. She quickly yanked open the top drawer and pulled out a sky blue dress. In seconds, she had it on and was quickly running a brush through her shoulder length blond hair. After she got most of the tangles out, she threw the brush on top of the dresser and ran out of her room and over to some stairs.
"Good morning Allison." The woman from earlier smiled at her when she made it downstairs. "I'm glad you made it to work on time."
"Good morning Aunt Jackie." That's right, she works for her aunt at home. Her aunt was a herbalist, and Allison was training to be one. Allison, her aunt, and her uncle lived upstairs, while the apothecary and her uncle's office was downstairs.
"I need you to run a few errands for me. Can you do that?"
"Of course."
"Here's the shopping list then. We're out of a few types herbs and I need you to go buy some from the general store."
"Okay!" Allison smiled brightly. She really wasn't much of a morning person, but she wasn't allowed to act groggy when she was working.
"Go on then." Jackie shooed her off. Allison turned and walked out the door.
She hadn't gotten more than a few steps when she noticed something up ahead.
"Oh my…" She ran up ahead gasped at what she saw.
A boy was on the ground. His black hair was singed and he was bruised all over. He was unconscious and was hardly breathing.
I can't carry him back to the apothecary. I better get Aunt Jackie and Uncle Joseph.
Before she could call out their names, however, the boy's brown eyes opened and he looked around.
"Hello." She tried to get the boy's attention. "Who are you?"
The boy just gave her a blank look.
"You… have four eyes… their all blue… and very pretty."
Allison face palmed.
"Aunt Jackie! Uncle Joseph!" She called out towards the house. A man and the woman from earlier ran out of the house to see what was the matter. When they saw the boy on the ground, their eyebrows scrunched in concern.
"Allison, who is this boy?" Her aunt asked when she got over to them.
"I don't know. I just found him out here. He's just talking nonsense though."
"I see. Joseph, can you carry this boy into the house so that I can see if he has any injuries?"
Her husband nodded. "Of course."
"Yay! Pony ride!" The boy yelled as Joseph picked him up.
"He may be acting crazy now, but I think a good nights sleep will make him act normal." Jackie told them.
They walked into the house while the boy just kept on mumbling things about how awesome he was and Mountain Dew, whatever that was.
"I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew!" He yelled, followed by a fit of giggles from himself, and a slight laugh from Allison.
"What?" He asked her. "I'm being serious!" For the first time since he had woken up, he actually sounded serious.
Allison gave him a look. "Are you really?"
He burst out laughing again.
Joseph set the boy down on a bed in the hospital part of the house, while he just kept mumbling to himself some more.
"Here." Jackie handed him something. "Eat this."
"Oky doky!" He shoved the pill into his mouth and stared at Jackie once again. "What now?"
"Now you fall asleep."
"Okay." The boy laid down in the bed and shut his eyes. In a matter of minutes, he was out.

The boy's brown eyes slowly opened. He took a look at his surroundings. He was in a twin sized bed with white sheets in a small room without much decoration.
"Oh, you're awake." A girl with shoulder length light blonde hair and light blue eyes entered the room carrying a try of food.
"W-where am I?" His voice was scratchy and his throat was dry. It hurt for him to talk.
"You're in a town called Spentsa in the kingdom of Norad." The girl sat the tray of food on a bedside table and sat in a chair by his bed.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Allison. I work at the apothecary here in town. That's where your at right now. Can you tell me your name?"
"I-I think it's Max."
"Where are you from, Max?"
"I-I don't know."
Allison's smiling face turned into one of concern. "What do you mean you don't know where your from? Can you remember anything else?"
"N-no."
"I guess that means you have amnesia. Maybe Uncle Joseph will let you stay in Spentsa until you feel better. He's the mayor here."
"Oh." Max's head was spinning and he had an awful headache.
"I'm going to let you rest. Try to sleep and eat a little. Let me know if you need any help."
"I-I will."
"Good." With that, Allison left the room.
Max sighed and lied his head back on his pillow. He wanted so badly to remember who he was and where he came from, but all he got was a headache.
He never thought he would, but after a few long minutes of trying to remember, his mind slowly drifted off to sleep.
This is kind of a prologue thingy. I just want to see what you guys think, and if you guys like it, then I'll continue. I might continue anyway. I don't know. REVIEW!
