There I was all alone, abandon, forsaken and lost. There was no one there for me every time I needed them the most. Even if anyone were going to help me they wouldn't hear me screaming because of the roaring water fall in near. Better stuck in a cave with not light, no exit, and no humanity. So I thought. I had no matches or a lantern to see what is in this cold, gloomy, mysterious, and scary cave I happened to come across on. Maybe I should explain from the whole beginning.

My name is Lady Astra, Astra Rayne. I am a royal, but not any royal one the most dominant and fierce rulers there are. We show no pity or sympathy to those who are weak, needy, or underprivileged. My family has a huge history for brutal wars and attacks to other countries. As for me I am the only one my family with the most powers in family I was my parent's prodigy and the oldest. My special powers are I can control all five elements Fire, Water, Earth, and air. Name the power I have it except for mind reading, force shields, or see the future. The only reason for our success with war-besides with my help-is because we all have a special weapon we all have which is that we are a VAMPIRES.

I have a brother named Rage Rayne. Rage is my only brother. Rage and I are somewhat identical twins. But while frames sapphire eyes, his sticks up in spikes around with blood colored eyes. While have almost unlimited power. I can control eliminates, and so much more I still haven't figured out. The only things that are beyond my powers are mind reading, concocting force shields, or seeing the future. Once when we were younger we were inseparable, but as we grew up older at the age of 8 we grew apart. This is very important of age for a young man for he is turned into a man Half-Vampire and starts training for war, While for the women have to wait till we are the age 18 to be Half-Vampire. Being Half-Vampire doesn't mean your Half-Human and Half-Vampire. It just means not a full vampire warrior your just half way there. It's kind of confusing, but not as confusing who rules the kingdom. Usually it would go to the eldest male child, but instead we have a fight, to see who will control and take over Lambara. It doesn't matter how many how many kids you have, but at least has to pass the age 10. My Mother, Queen Adrienne, won the fight against her brother Sargon.

Lambara is my country, it's the most beautiful place there ever is. Lambara is on a high mountain where half of Lambara's city is located. Our gray, dull fortress is on a taller mountain towering over the village. Lambara is surrounded by foggy, dark forest that stretches on for miles on and on that leads straight into our enemy's kingdom, Adamant Levrage and his son, Dusk. His wife, Miyuki, died in battle as with his daughter, Chalice, because they blame my family that we started the fire in forest. Since we were in the forest while the fire started, but of course we didn't start it.

My brother and I are now age 16 we are getting ready for the battle of who will take over the kingdom. To practice we have to run at least 2 miles to helps get great speed, do wired yoga positions for flexibility, and lastly start drinking human blood for incredible strength. This is probably a long time since my brother and I ever trained together or talked to each other in a long time.

"Astra," yelled Rage when we both were running along a very murky trail which was along the rapid river. "Be careful! Don't fall into the river because I am not going to save your butt."

"Don't worry brother I would never do that. I have great balance as for you not so much." Astra said teasing her brother. She missed always teasing him and joking around with him.

"I am not joking around, Astra, I am serious we do not know what might be hiding deep in the forest or worse one of Adamant men can be hiding and ready to jump us." He said finally caught up with Astra and took her wrist with great force to make her pay attention to what he was try to say to her.

"Brother can't you have fun just for a second?" she said, but instead Rage gave a fierce look, "Fine. I'll be careful and slow down, but first let go of me NOW!!!!!"

"Alright but keep your promise," Rage said letting go of Astra wrist slowly. "O my look Astra."

Astra turned her head to see what her brother was amazed at. She looked but all she could she was damp trees, and the fog coming in thicker. "What? I don't see….." she said.

Before she could finish her brother tackled to the damp muddy green grass. Both playfully wrestled each other and getting all muddy and wet. Astra went to jump on her brother until she heard a noise coming from the trees. Both Rage and Astra froze in place and were ready to attack whatever was about to attack them. But nothing happened.

"I think it was just a rabbit or a raccoon," said Rage putting down his sword. "It's time to go mother and father will be looking for us."

"Certainly," Astra said.

Before Astra went t0 follow her brother she heard again the same sound coming the same tree. This time she went to the tree to she what was making the noise. She softly walked away from her brother as he talked to her about the royal duties of a young princess. She looked up at the tree to see a shadow of a young man hidden behind a couple of branches.

"Astra," screamed Rage. He ran to Astra and forceful pulled her away from the tree and threw her to the ground. She landed on head which banded into a huge boulder which made her pass out.
