Chapter One: The Tragedy

Opening her round, blue eyes, the pre-teen girl gently yawned before rising from the bed. She slipped on a pear of fluffy pink slippers that left the sound of a continuous pitter patter as she walked towards the living room.

As she entered the sweet scented room, she was greeted by her Mother. "Goodmorning, dear Nia" she sang as she continued to prepare breakfast. The girl smiled. Nia was a nickname for her name Zelenia when her little sister couldn't pronounce her name. She loved her name and nickname, and her parents said they fit her well.

Zelenia took her place at the dining table, between her younger sister, Zoe and her twin, Zennith. Across from her sat her older brother, Adrian, who started the morning's conversation. "So Nia, why do you keep sleeping in?" he questioned me playfully. "Because I need sleep!" Zelenia retaliated. They were stopped, before any argument, by Zennith spontainiously bursting into laughter. Getting several curious looks, she pointed to Zoe who was staring at her own window. Horrified. Adrian also began laughing but Zelenia looked at the painting. Then all hell broke loose.

Weird things climbed through the painting, snarling and breathing hot, blue fire. Following her instincts, Zelenia shielded Zoe as she guided her to their large bedroom, a step behind our siblings. They ran. Large feet and hot fire pounding behind them. Using valiant effort, they slammed the door before the creatures and barricaded the door.

Zelenia wiped sweat off her forhead before recieving a tug on her shirt by small, frail hands. It was Zoe. "I'm scared, Nia..." she wimpered before beginning to cry. Zelenia bent down and hugged her sister. Before she realised, tears were streaming down her face too. Zennith joined them. The three girls were hugging and crying onto each other when Adrian protectively stepped in front of them as the door shook. He shielded us as the door slammed to the ground in front of him. All of them were frightened. They thought the creatures were coming to get them. But they were wrong.
