Chapter 1
"Ah!" Frost awoke clutching her blanket tightly to her chest, sweat trickling down her face. As she calmed down she sighed, "It was that dream again…. Why does that memory never cease to haunt my dreams?" Frost slowly got out of bed to ready herself for the day's events. She put on her uniform and strapped her family's red queen sword to her back. When she finished getting ready she walked out the door and headed to the Lairadoure castle.
On usual days like this Frost had expected nothing really "out of the ordinary" to happen so she leaned against the wall she was at and began to think about her dream. She hadn't heard the footsteps coming toward her, "Something wrong, Sergeant Steirra?"
"What? O-oh. No, sir." The commander looked at her suspiciously. She perked up a little and said, "Nothing out of the ordinary sir!"
The Commander sighed, "Well, that's good even though that's not what I'm here for."
"Then what are you here for sir?"
"The Prince would like to see you."
Frost got a troubled look on her face, "The prince? Why would he want to see me?"
"I'm not sure he just told me he wanted to see you. Now go. I wouldn't want to keep the prince waiting. He can get a little impatient." When he finished telling her this he saluted her out and she walked to the prince's quarters.
As Frost arrived at the door she stopped and knocked. The prince answered to the knock, "Who is at my door?"
Frost gulped, "Sergeant Steirra."
"Ah. Come in, come in. I would like a word with you."
Frost slowly opens the door, walks in, and closes the door, "What did you need to talk to me about, Your Highness?" Soren walks up to Frost and cups her face with his hand and says,
"Such beauty." Prince Soren looks deeply into her eyes and leans in closer to her. Frost's eyes widen as she figures out what he's trying to do and pushes him away. She takes a step back. She feels the fear rising inside her and she starts to breathe heavily. Frost feels the scream rising in her throat, the tears rising to make her eyes glossy. She shakes her head in disbelief and runs out of the room.
Running down the corridor Frost not even thinking to watch out for anyone in her path. She feels someone put a hand on her shoulder and hear the man say, "Sergeant, what do you think you're doing?" It was the commander. He looks at her confused. Frost doesn't even turn her head to look at her commander because she knows that if she even turns that way at that point she would collapse on the ground, not being able to control herself from crying. She was so scared that even just standing there she was shaking.
The commander notices how badly she was trembling and let go of her. Frost bolted out of the castle and felt that she couldn't stop running. She wanted to be as far away from the castle as she could. She ran and ran until she had to stop. She stopped at the sandy beach of the Renfor Sea. She dropped to her knees, covered her face, and began to sob. She was confused and terrified. Frost didn't understand at all what was going on. Now all she wanted was for nobody to notice her, she just wanted to be invisible.
