Alenia's POV
"Run. Run my child. Don't look back." Ms. Liz's voice echoed in my head. I heeded her words and ran as fast as I could. I hate parties. And dresses. And too many people crowded in one room. I thought, ducking under a branch. [Sorry, forgot to give an intro. I'm Alenia Raindrop Wish. I'm 16 and I hate dresses. My parents are the Duke and Duchess of our small city, just off the coast of a large kingdom, called Jumoya. I have a little brother called Perry. He's the perfect little angel, while I'm the troublemaker. Who cares? 3 days ago was my birthday, and my parents decided to host a party that would last for a week. But people didn't wish me a happy birthday. Oh no. they wanted me to marry their princes and lords. Ick. So I decided to leave. What? In the kingdom, kids are legally an adult when they turn 17, 16 if you can get away with it. My best and only friend, Volt, helped me. That's all you need to know right now.] I soon came to a small river. I didn't stop and just jumped over it. Suddenly, something came and whacked me on the head. Then everything went black.
Emily's POV
I was dreaming. But not the kind of dream you would want. No, this was a nightmare. Black, distorted figures chasing me. They're appearance kept changing. I ran into a colorful room. I was with 2 other people, my best friends Rose and Libby. The room was bright neon, and it also kept changing. We ran in room after room, the blackies hot on our heels. But every-time we left a room, the blackies left two. I tried to run faster, but it seemed that only made me slower. "help!" I screamed. But none heard. I woke up screaming and panting. Mom came racing in. "What? What is it, honey?" she asked worried. "Nothing. Just a dream. You can go back to sleep." I said, untwisting the covers, then pulling them up. "Good night, Em." she said, walking out of the room. "G'night," I replied, burrowing down in the covers. I quickly slipped into the blackness.
Maria's POV
I slowly poured the melted metal into the mold, then waited. It hardened a little, and I pulled it out. I hammered it into a sword, then slowly stuck it into a bucket of water. It hissed, then I pulled it out. The handle was still hot I carefully noted, as I moved precious gems into the handle. Then I stuck it in the rest of the way. The newly-crafted sword hissed, as I pulled it out of the water and examined it. Perfect, I decided.
Beth's POV
Me and my parents were driving down the highway, some crazy music playing from the radio. I hummed along as we pulled off and down a narrow road. it's really quiet. Too quiet... the thought trailed off as another car started flying towards us. "WATCH OUT!" I screamed. But it was too late. The car crashed into ours. I went flying into my seat-belt, which caused my chest and waist to throb. A scream pierced the air. In my blurry vision, I saw my mom go flying out the windshield. It took a second to realize the scream was mine. The last thing I remember before slipping into the blackness was blood. Everywhere.
