Chapter One:

Escape

Kairia sat cross legged in the small cell that had become her prison. Her green blood trickled from the fresh whip slashed wounds. The door of the prison opened and she shrunk back from it, her blue eyes widening in fear.

"It's okay I won't hurt you." said the figure holding up her hands. She had brown skin and auburn hair with glittering eyes, similar to Kairia's own. Kairia fluttered her wounded wings and hesitantly stood up. The figure gasped.

"What happened to your wings?" she said.

"They whip me. The Tronars." said Kairia. She did not cry. Crying only ever made things worse for her.

"Come on. I'm going to take you somewhere safe." said the girl.

"Who are you?" asked Kairia stumbling over.

"Captain Holly Short. Now we have to go. Butler and Chix can't hold the Tronars off forever!" said Holly leading Kairia out of the cell and down the hall. A boy with pale skin and jet black hair ran towards them.

"Artemis how's the battle?" asked Holly stopping.

"We have to go. Now." said the boy, Artemis. They ran down the hall Kairia following obediently. They reached the main hall and ran towards the door. Butler and Chix broke away from the battle and followed them. When they got to the door, Butler pulled a grenade from the moonbelt around his waist and pulled the pin throwing it over his shoulder along with another one after it. They jumped out the door into the snow and began to run. Kairia had never been the strongest and she was tired already. They began to climb a hill up to the fairy fort but when they got there, there was a buzz of electricity and Kairia fell to the ground, unconcious.
