I lay outside in the middle of spring on my porch balcony; it was a sad day for me, for it was the eve of my best friend Mason's death. He committed suicide two years ago. We all were surprised when we were told by the Police what happened. It was shocking because he was to marry a beautiful pale ringlet blond haired girl named Mia Rinaldi. We all took it hard but Mia the hardest. A week after his death she couldn't take it anymore and hung herself in the courtyard of the church. She was found by her brother Eddie Castile and me Rose Hathaway. She was wearing her wedding dress with a picture of Mason in her right hand. Eddie was so upset at what he saw that he fled away from the scene in a panic to call the authorities.

A week after Mia's hanging Eddie left us; he had recruited in the Prince's Army to get away from all the pain and suffering. So today wasn't the best week for me because of all the terrible memory's. I got up from where I lay and sighed to myself as I walked into my kitchen. Opening the Refrigerator I looked in to see what meal I could make for dinner. After looking for about five minutes I sighed to myself again, I wasn't really in the best of mood to cook. I left the kitchen and went back out to my balcony; I stood on the balcony pondering for about five minutes when I heard my neighbor's dog Lexi barking and growling.

I looked over to her to see what she was barking at. Following her eye site it went straight into the woods, the woods that were forbidden. It is said that those whom enter those woods never make it out alive that once upon a time a young couple who were in a forbidden romance lived in there. They were so in love that with their love they created a child. But the woman was a Princess and the man a peasant, when her father found out what she had done he took some of his soldiers into the forest surrounded the cabin and took the child as his own, he had his daughter and the man killed. The King was said to never make it out alive because the moment he touched the child -a boy- he started to burn up, the child was powerful and wicked, only four months old.

The child was left there in the woods to die, but the Queen feeling sympathy for the child and her daughter fled to the forest looking for him. She found him and surprisingly wasn't harmed. The child that was said to be wicked is now a Prince, the Prince of Russia. He is my Prince and his grandmother is my Queen. I've never seen him so if I were to pass him in the streets I wouldn't know it was him.

Lexi's barking became insistent so I climbed over the balcony railing and jumped to the ground. I walked over to where she was slowly so I wouldn't startle her.

"Lexi, come here girl." I said cooing to her, she stopped what she was doing and ran over to me. I sat down in the grass with her petting her soft and pristine hair. She calmed down the moment I started to pet her, but she still was a bit tense, she was overly protective of those she cared about. Lexi and I shared a bond together; we were both born on the same day year and time. She's a twenty-four year old German shepherd.

"You don't have anything to bark about Lexi. There's lots of thing in the woods, nothing dangerous." I continued to coo, after I said those words Lexi growled a snarling growl jumped up from her position in the grass and stood tense with all the fur on her back standing straight up. I look in the woods once more but still did not see a thing. I slowly got up and cautiously grabbed Lexi by the collar, I slowly walked back to my home keeping my eyes on the woods in front of me, as I got to the front of my house I fished my house keys out of my pocket and unlocked the door. Lexi ran straight in, shutting and locking the door behind me, Lexi sit waiting for me patiently on the floor. I walked over to my pantry rubbing my hand down Lexi as I did; opening it I got a dog bowl out and poured dog food in it.

"Here you go Lexi, have some food." I sat it down in front of her, she graciously started eating it, I walked over to my sink and grabbed a bowl of the counter top filling it up with water and then setting it down by Lexi. Once she was settled I walked back to my balcony and shut the door and locking it behind me. I grabbed the shades and pulled them together to shut them, but as I did I noticed a figure in the woods leaning against a tree, I couldn't see what it was, only that it was really tall, it looked me into the eyes for a few seconds, but then Lexi came in the room growling and jumping at the door.

"Lexi down." I said trying to stop her jumping, once she was calmed down and out of the room I looked back to the woods and saw that the figure was a man, he was walking away deeper into the woods he had a black duster on. He turned to look at me once more before he disappeared completely.
