Daphne was running down the hallway with her little sister, Bloom. Daphne was 12 years old and the first princess of the kingdom of Domino and Bloom was her 6 year old little sister and the second princess of Domino.
The two sisters were currently running from the ancestral witches, who are after the dragon fire, the most powerful magic in the entire magic dimension. Bloom inherited the power of the dragon flame and the ancestral witches, Belladona, Lysslis and Tharma, were after her.
They reached a dead end and looked behind them and saw that the three witches were there.
"There's nowhere for you to run now" Belladona said
"Hand over the dragon flame" Lysslis said
"Give us your sister and we'll make sure you have painless death" Tharma said
Daphne was scared and she wasn't sure if she could fight them on her own.
"Daphne" Bloom said
The blonde looked down at her younger sister and saw that she was even more scared than she was. She was crying and was shaking in fear. Seeing her little sister like this gave her the courage to stand up to the witches.
"I would rather die then hand her over to the likes of you!" Daphne said
"We gave you a choice and now you will suffer the consequences" Belladona said
"Prepare to be obliterated" Lysslis said
"After we kill you we will be taking the dragon flame" Tharma said
Bloom hugged her sister even tighter than she already was. Daphne didn't want to leave her kingdom but she needed to keep her sister safe. She was going to flee with Bloom somewhere far away. Her parents would've wanted her to do this.
"I'll never let you have her!" Daphne said
After those words were shouted, Daphne opened up a portal and dragged her sister and herself in it. She didn't know where it would take them but any place would be better than Domino. She heard the witches scream "No" before the portal closed. The two sisters passed out from exhaustion when they entered the portal.
Daphne woke up and looked around and saw that she was in what looked like a central park of a city. The next thing she noticed was that her sister wasn't beside her. She started to panic and look around to see if she was nearby. Fortunately, Bloom was two feet away from her and the elder sister ran over to her and tried to wake her up.
"Bloom! Bloom! Wake up!" Daphne said
The tiny redhead grumbled a little before she opened her eyes. She looked over to who was shaking her and saw that it was her older sister.
"Daphne!" Bloom said
The baby sister hugged her older sister, she was so happy to see that her big sister was here.
"Thank goodness, you're okay, Bloom" Daphne said
"I was so scared" Bloom said
"I know, but you don't have to be scared anymore. We're safe now" Daphne said
"Where are we?" Bloom asked
"I don't know. I opened that portal to take us anywhere" Daphne said
"Can you find out?" Bloom asked
Daphne did just that. She tried to detect what planet they were on.
"It appears we're on a planet called Earth" Daphne said
"Earth?" Bloom asked
"I don't anything about this realm but at least we're safe" Daphne said
Bloom nodded in agreement.
The two sisters started to walk but they don't where they were going since they didn't anything about earth. After walking for a while, Bloom was started to get tired and hungry.
"Daphne, I'm hungry" Bloom said
"I'm hungry too but we don't have any money to buy anything here" Daphne said
The redhead then stopped walking went down to her knees. Daphne looked back at her sister in concern. The next thing she saw broke her heart. Her sister started crying.
"I'm cold, tired and hungry! I don't want to be here anymore!" Bloom cried
Seeing her little sister cry like this made her want to cry too. She tried to think of some words to comfort but to her dismay, she couldn't think of anything to cheer her up. She started to cry too because she didn't what to do.
She then spotted an old building and saw that it looked empty and took Bloom inside it.
"Daphne, what are we doing in here?" Bloom asked
"We're here to take shelter. We can figure out what to do next tomorrow" Daphne said
"But I'm hungry" Bloom said
"I know but we don't have any food right now and we don't have any money to buy food" Daphne said
Bloom looked sad again.
"Don't worry! I'm sure we can think of something tomorrow" Daphne said
"But there are no beds here" Bloom said
"We'll have to sleep on the floor" Daphne said
Bloom pouted but she didn't say anything. The sisters then fell asleep. After a couple of hours, Bloom woke up and started coughing. The first thing she saw was smoke. She then noticed that the building was on fire. She started to panic and went over to her sister and shook her to wake her up.
Daphne woke up to someone shaking her. She rubbed her eyes and saw that her little sister looked panicked. She wondered why but it didn't take her long to figure out why. There was smoke everywhere and it smelled like something was burning. She knew that the building was on fire.
"Bloom, we need to leave right now" Daphne said
Bloom nodded. Her big sister then took her hand and led her to the exit. Some of the wood fell down and blocked the way.
"Oh no!" Daphne said
More wood started to fall and the sisters were forced to go back to where they were.
"There's no way out!" Bloom said
"I'll make sure we stay safe" Daphne said
Daphne created a forcefield around both her and little sister.
The wood that made contact with the shield was destroyed. Even though they were safe, Bloom was still scared and started to cry. Daphne was about to comfort her but she saw that the redhead was glowing red. Her cries started to sound like echoes. Anyone outside of the building would be able to hear her.
The firefighters outside of the building were doing their best to put out the fire. They then heard an echoing cry. A fireman, named Mike, heard the cry and realized that there was still someone inside. His fellow firemen tried to stop him from going in but he went in anyway. He was determined to save whoever was in there.
Daphne was doing her best to calm her down.
"Calm down, Bloom, please! We're safe in this forcefield" Daphne said
But it was no use. Her sister was way too scared and continued crying. The only thing that the blonde could do was hug her sister in comfort to let her know that she's not alone.
Daphne then heard the sound of some footsteps among the flicker flames. She turned and saw that there was a man dressed in some kind of yellow suit and was wearing a red hat. The man was surprised to see the shield but he pressed forward and held out his hand towards them.
"Come with me" Mike said
Daphne wasn't sure if she should trust someone she doesn't know but it was better than staying in this burning building. She let the forcefield down and took Bloom by the hand. She then took Mike's hand and he led them out of the building with minor injuries. The two girls had soot all over them from the fire.
"You two aren't hurt are you?" Mike said
"We're fine sir, thank you" Daphne said
"Where are your parents?" Mike asked
Bloom started to tear up after the mention of parents. Daphne missed her parents too. She wondered if they survived the attack on Domino.
"They're not here" Daphne said
"Can you tell where they are?" Mike asked
"They're gone. They're no longer with us" Daphne said
Mike got the message and pitied the two girls, who were now orphans.
"I'm sorry to hear that" Mike said
"It's fine" Daphne said
"Do you two have any place to stay?" Mike asked
"No, we don't" Bloom said
Mike felt bad for the girls but then he got an idea.
"Would you two like to stay with me at my place?" Mike asked
Daphne was being cautious but her younger sister agreed to his offer.
"Thank you, sir" Bloom said
The two girls arrived at the house that the fireman lived at. They entered the house and saw that it looked like a cozy place to live in. They were then greeted by a woman with chin length brown hair.
"Welcome home dear" The woman said
Daphne guessed that this woman was Mike's wife.
The woman then saw the two girls that were with him.
"Why hello there" The woman said
The two of them remained silent. They were feeling nervous around them.
"Let's get to know each other first. My name is Mike" Mike said
"My name is Vanessa" Vanessa said
Bloom decided to introduce herself first.
"I'm Bloom" Bloom said
"My name is Daphne" Daphne said
"It's a pleasure to meet you Bloom and Daphne" Vanessa said
Mike then proceeded to tell his wife about their situation.
"You girls can stay here until we can find out what to do with you" Mike said
The two sisters thanked them. They were then given something to eat, some fresh clothes and a bed that they can share. They wondered what was going to happen to them from now on.
