Aubrey sat reading through a book on elven magic techniques, he had about ten minutes to read through the last couple of pages before his tutor came. Elven magic requires no incantations nor anything of the kind, you only need to have a strong connection with the earth and immense concentration. Aubrey's parents made him meditate twice a day. Meditation helps elves concentrate on their magic.

The book read "Elven magic is less of 'spells' and 'potions' and other stereotypical things. Elven magic is like an art, you must manipulate the elements and make them do what you want. Your magic reserves decide how much magic you can cast before it runs out. If you run completely out of magic, there is a possibility of getting sent into a coma. Not one elf has died from such a coma though. Plant elf magic is too advanced in healing to allow the death through magic depletion."

Aubrey heard the door open and quickly slammed the door shut. He ran and hid the book and made sure his make-up correctly covered the markings on his face. His marking must be hidden in this world and any other because he is a 'half-breed' elf. Which is apparently not allowed according to his parents.

His tutor is taking an awful long time compared to usual though. Aubrey could almost hear some hushed talking. His mother is called Ashton and his father is called Benedict.

Ashton's pov

I am talking to my husband about the tutor we have for Aubrey, lately he seems suspicious of us. But that shouldn't make sense seeing as there are no other elves. And if Elizabeth told nobody but her husband, nobody should be in this dimension other than them and the species born here.

The doorbell rings so Benedict and the tutor opens the door. I then realised that I don't have my disguise on. Nor does Benedict, I glance at him in a panic. Benedict closes the door that leads to the room Aubrey is in. The tutor walks into the room and freezes. He gasps in surprise and composes himself.

"So, the traitors really did travel to this world." The tutor says, but that's impossible. How would they know how to get here, how did they find out where we are?

My thoughts are cut of as I find him in front to me with a knife poised in front of me.

"I suppose that son of yours is a filthy half-breed, however rather than killing him," he begins quietly and dangerously as I stare at the knife in fear. "I'll simply banish him to a world that contains powerful demons and creatures that lust for the taste of a soul."

I look at Benedict with tears in my eyes as this man who I now recognise as Elizabeth's husband, Aiken. As part of the star elf clan, he is perfectly capable of sending my only son Aubrey to a place. I see Benedict run toward me panic written on his features, however it is too late now. The knife has been plunged writhing my heart.

I drop to the floor writing in pain and in my last seconds, I stare as Aiken kills my husband as well. He looks me in the eyes as the finally drain of colour.

Aubrey's pov

I watch the door carefully. It was closed just a few minutes ago, I heard some loud thumps and then the door opened. I closed my eyes and sat down, curling up and looking away from whatever had entered my room.

"Aubrey." Said the voice of my tutor, however in this moment it seemed chilling and velvety smooth at the same time. This was not the voice of my friendly tutor anymore, this was the voice of someone dangerous. "Aubrey, I'm going to send you to a place where we plan you will have a gruesome death. This is merciful compared to what we would do to you in your home land."

I open my eyes as I begin falling into darkness, the last thing I see is my tutor smirking at me. The air is sucked from my lungs and I black out.

"Aubrey, wake up." A kind voice called out to me. I sat up and looked around me, we sat on a small island in the sky with the stars surrounding it. The island was beautiful, albeit it unnerved me. I peered over the edge and suddenly felt nauseous. I shuffled back into the middle after freaking out over the island baking surrounded by nothingness.

I bumped into something and my head snapped in the direction of the object. I had bumped into a pretty lady with black hair and dark blue eyes. She looked at me and smiled gently. "It's been a long time Aubrey, hasn't it?"

I stared at her in confusion, how does she know my name. Who is she, why does she know me?

"I suppose your parents haven't told you about me, I'm Elizabeth." She started gently, this woman almost feels familiar to me. At the very least I think I can relax around her. "I'm your godmother, the person who sent you the harsh world you will have to learn to survive in, is my ex-husband."

"What happened to me, and my parents. Why are people tearing my family apart?" I spoke after I mustered the courage to speak. Hot tears slipped down my cheeks. I've always been told I acted young for my age, even though I'm sixteen. According to elf rules I'm still a young child.

The kind looking lady explained to me what my parents had done, they had broken the most sacred rule in the elven law. No elf can have a child with an elf of another clan. Children born like this tend to be incredibly powerful. Many civil wars are fought over half-breed elves. My parents broke that rule, so when my mother revealed she had a child with an elf from the earth clan. People came for them, people came for me too.

In desperation they went to their godmother and one of my mother closest friends Elizabeth to have them sent to a quiet world where they could live safely and raise me. When Aiken, Elizabeth's ex-husband, found out he flew into a rage and headed into the same world. He lay low trying to find them, he got a job and ended up tutoring Aubrey because he was suspicious about them.

It was only a matter of time before he found out. When he was talking to Elizabeth he found hope in the fact his parents may have lived through it.

"Aubrey, have this pendant." She spoke with her soft, silky voice. "If you send your magic into it I will visit you and help you in your time of need. You will be waking up soon Aubrey. Be careful in this new cruel world Aiken has exposed you to, do not be intimidated by him."

Halfway through the sentence she had to shout because my ears started ringing and I could see nothing but a bright blinding light.
