Several screams and cries could be heard within the castle. Deep down in the dark dungeons sat two young girls, crying their eyes out and screaming for help. Their arms, bright red and bruised, were gripping onto the cold steel bars of the dungeon cells, shaking, pulling, anything that could help them escape the treacherous place. They hadn't always been like this. The two girls once lived a normal happy life, until one fateful day. A terrible day that changed their lives forever…

Eventually, the two tired girls finally gave up. Using their dirty sleeves, they both slowly wiped the tears from their bloodshot red eyes, only for more to escape and slide down their pale cheeks.

Out of no where, the younger child suddenly started bawling, crying into her hands, while her sister, the older child, comforted her with a tight embrace. Tears escaped her eyes as well as the two cried together. They stayed in the same position, slowly drifting off into slumber. This was a normal routine for them that they would do every other day. Wake up, try anything to escape, cry their eyes out, and finally get tired enough to fall asleep in each others warm arms.

No smiles appeared on their upsetting faces, for they were having a horrifying dream. A dream if their painful past…

Flashback:

Screams of pure agony could be heard as death of many lives filled the air. A large house, obviously belonging to a family of wealth, was engulfed with large flames. Throughout the large hallways, ashes of dead maids and servants laid, slowly increasing. Out of no where, three people, dressed in fancy clothing that was partly burnt, ran through the ashes. One older male and two young girls, at the age of thirteen and fourteen, were trying to escape their nearly burnt home.

"Daddy!! I'm scared!!" the younger girl cried, tightly gripping her father's sweaty hand.

"Do not be afraid! Fear not for fear is only fear itself!" The older man, obviously the two girls father, said in response. Though he seemed to be fearless, there was a hint of fear in his eyes, trying to hide itself.

The older sister, being the quieter one of the two, stared into her father's eyes as they ran. Her dark brown eyes had a small shimmer. A shimmer of admiration from their father's courage.

The younger girl weakly smiled and silently nodded, keeping up with her older sister and father on the quest to escape.

Dodging the growing flames and pieces of the once steady roof, the trio neared an open exit. Happier expressions shone on all of their faces as they neared their passage of escape. A few steps closer and they would have been free and safe except they had a small problem. One man to stop them from sweet freedom.

"Hey you! Where do you think you three are going?" A loud angry voice boomed aloud.

The two young girls whimpered in fear for they knew who was behind them. Though they were youngsters, they still knew much about this man and his treacherous past. Their grip on their father's hands tightened as loud thumping footsteps neared. A low growl escaped from the father's mouth once the footsteps ceased.

"It's been a while hasn't it….Qiao Xuan?" The voice from behind asked gruffly.

The father, who was obviously Qiao Xuan, scoffed in response to the idiotic question as he turned around, facing the person from behind. His two daughters', being obedient towards their father, slowly did the same.

Facing them was one of the most hated and ugliest men in all of China. His face, so hideous to describe, would make you want to vomit the moment you laid eyes on him. The fat from his obese body jiggled at any slight movement and stuck out like a bright yellow dot on a black piece of paper. His voice, loud and gruff, was as bad as he himself was. Qiao Xuan was small compared to him, which was stated as half good and half bad.

"Well that 'while' has been good without seeing or hearing your atrocious self Dong Zhuo!" Qiao Xuan retorted with a satisfied look on his face. The remark obviously made the man, Dong Zhuo, furious. His face, as dark as usual, was turning red with anger as tons of his soldiers appeared from no where, surrounding Qiao Xuan and his two loving daughters.

"Hahaha you flatter me you fool! Why don't you be smart for once and hand over your pretty little girls to me? They'd obviously be in MUCH better care under MY supervision." Dong Zhuo said in a cocky tone. This made the younger girl jump a bit and release her grasp on her father's hand. Noticing this, she let out a quiet shriek and quickly wrapped her arms around his waist for safety.

"HAHA!! I told you. Even your little girl wants nothing to do with you!" Dong Zhuo laughed in amusement.

Qiao Xuan's face turned bright red from anger. The older girl gulped as she started sweating more. She barely ever saw her father this way and in her eyes, she was scared,

"Why I-" The angered father was interrupted by his younger daughter. "Shut up you-you fathead!!!" The young girl defended with a serious look on her face, half proud and half regretful. She quickly scanned the area for something to throw at the cruel man, but to her unfortunate luck, she found nothing useful that wasn't already on fire.

Releasing herself from Qiao Xuan, the younger girl slowly walked towards Dong Zhuo. The closer she got towards him, the more she began to twitch. An evil smirk formed on Dong Zhuo's face, but quickly faded when a splat hit him near his left eye.

Dong Zhuo's eyes began to burn in anger. Using his left hand, he wiped off the dripping saliva, hearing another low 'splat' sound while his other formed a tight fist as he started to get close the frightened girl. The soldiers tightly held onto their weapons and got into battle position, in case if anything was to happen.

As the furious man slowly inched towards her, the young girl slowly scooted back towards her father and sister. Dong Zhuo reached out his grubby hands to grab the scared girl, but was stopped.

"Leave her alone!" A young feminine voice exclaimed. All eyes laid on the older sister. She was no longer holding her father's hand, but was trying to look the as brave as she could.

Qiao Xuan had a weak expression, half proud and half worried. The younger sister let out a small squeal and clapped her hands together. You'd be happy too if someone was defending you wouldn't you?

Dong Zhuo stared at the older sister for a short while until he started laughing for not much of a reason. His army, who was now totally confused, shrugged and joined in laughing just so they wouldn't feel left out. The confused trio stared at them all as if they had a problem.

'I don't get it….' was what they were all thinking.

"HAHAHA!!!!!! Do you really think that by saying 'leave her alone' can really stop me? Silly girl! Can't you see? Nothing can!" The army continued laughing until Dong Zhuo stopped.

The older sister's face flushed red from embarrassment. She shyly stared at the ash covered ground to conceal her embarrassment. All she could mostly think about that short moment was how embarrassed she was.

"Now that the fun is over, GRAB THEM!!!" The crazy man yelled. Part of his army quickly obeyed and grabbed the two confused girls, while another group held back their father. Qiao Xuan struggled with all his might to break loose and rescue his two daughter's, only to have more men to hold him back.

Dong Zhuo held onto both girls tightly with a mischievous smirk on his face. He and his army quickly left the burning building cautiously, leaving behind a wounded Qiao Xuan. The army rolled a large rock in front of the last escape route while the cruel man watched, sealing the hurt father in the burning home. The two sisters tried to break free, but couldn't. Tears flowed out of their sad brown eyes as they were dragged away.

A loud scream filled with pain be heard before the burning house fully collapsed. The two girls finally lost it and began crying madly, for they knew their dear father, Qiao Xuan, had met his death in their once beautiful home.

"F-father!!" The older sister cried quietly, hugging herself. She couldn't take the pressure of knowing she would never she or hear her loving father again. Screams and cries escaped her mouth as her face became drenched with tears.

"DADDY!!!!!" The younger sister screamed. She was screaming 'daddy' over and over again at the top of her lungs. She knew that later her throat would be in pain but she really had no intention about that at that moment.

An evil smirk that looked almost like a grin appeared on Dong Zhuo's face as he let out a psychotic laugh. He released his grip from the bawling girls, letting them fall onto heir knees. His army surrounded them, not feeling a bit regretful for killing their dear father, felt proud and powerful.

The two sisters crawled towards each other and hugged. Their hug was not meant for happiness, but was for comfort as they cried in each others arms. All they had now was each other and surely they didn't want to lose each other.

'W-we never got t-to tell him we l-loved him...' the older sister thought before passing out in her sister's arms.

The younger sister let out a loud gasp. She started crying even worse then she did a few seconds ago, fearing her sister was dead as well.

'I'm not alone! Sis is still alive! I-I just know it!!' she painfully thought while hugging her sister tightly.

Dong Zhuo and his some of his evil men walked off while another group took the older girl away from her sister and carried her away, following her master. The few random soldiers escorted the younger girl not with a care in the world.

They all headed into the deep forest, where they found their camp packed and ready to go. Sticking the two sister's in one of the supply carriages, the army started to head for their home, Dong Zhuo's castle.

End of flashback

The younger girl's eyes shot open as she jumped up. Tears started to slowly flow from her nearly cried out eyes and dripped onto the cold hard dungeon floors. She desperately shook her older sister awake, who already had tears coming from her eyes, down her cheeks, and onto the floor. The older girl's eyes slowly blinked open as the two sisters flung their arms around each other for yet another comforting hug.

"I hate this Da!!! I wish this never happened!!!!! I wish Daddy was still alive and with us!!!" The sixteen year old cried in her sister's shoulder, as the older sister gently stroked her light brown hair.

"As do I Xiao, as do I…" Her older sister, Da Qiao, was trying to hide her tears from her younger sibling as she tried to be brave. The two Qiao sisters silently cried as Xiao slowly began to drift to sleep.

"Maybe this is….just a dream…" was the sixteen year olds last words before slumber overtook her. Xiao Qiao snuggled a bit to get comfortable as light snores escaped from her.

Da slightly smiled at her sister's sleeping form. She sure did wish it was just a dream, but surely she knew it wasn't. The seventeen year old slowly and gently let her younger sister lay on the floor gently as she turned around. The older sister quietly crawled towards the only window, which was blocked by steel bars, and sat on her knees. A shooting star quickly shot by as Da Qiao lowered her head, making a wish that seemed more like a dream.

"Someday my prince will come. He may be far away, but I know he'll come…someday..."

She slowly crawled towards her sleeping sister and gently laid next to her, not wanting to disturb her. She let out a sigh and closed her hazel eyes, drifting off into slumber.

The semi-bright moonlight shone above the two sleeping beauties as the bright stars in the star twinkled.

In a far away land, two men were galloping across an open field. They had already collected everything they thought was necessary. As they increased their speed, they gave each other a friendly nod even though they had a slight frown on their face. The two silently rode as the stars twinkled in the dark sky…

Why are they riding in the dark? No clue, but I hope you enjoyed the chapter! If you have any suggestions or comments, leave behind and I might consider them xDD
