Prologue

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

It was a very dark night. Unusually dark for this part of England. Not a star twinkled in the sky. It was quite close to midnight when a small girl with flaming red, curly hair awoke to the sounds of struggle. She quietly tip-toed out of her room.

"Mama?" She called into the darkness.

There was the sound of glass shattering off in the distance. Then whispered words that sent chills down her spine, and a flash of green light.

"Mama?" The girl called again.

No answer came to deny her fears. She walked into her kitchen. There was a broken vase on the floor. The girl clutched her favorite stuffed animal closer to her. She quietly crept into the dining room of her small house.

"Mama... are you in here?" The girl asked.

She walked around the table and stopped abruptly. Her mother, Summer Adkins, lay on the floor not moving. The child rushed over to her.

"MAMA!" She shook her, "Mama! Get up!" She said frantically, but her mother didn't move.

The girl put her fingers up to her mothers neck, no pulse was felt there. She desperately grasped her mothers wrist. No pulse there either. The girl let out a sob and backed away. Then, suddenly, she backed into something. The girl whirled around. Her eyes widened in horror. In front of her stood at least five men wearing long, black cloaks. She just stood there, terrified. One of the men reached into the folds of his robe and began to pull out a wand.

'NO! This can't be happening! But... but it is. They're going to kill me.' She thought frantically. There was another flash of blinding green light. 'Am I dead?' She thought, 'Funny, I don't feel any different.'

She squinted open one eye, and then the other. Before here she saw all of the men lying on the floor, unmoving. All except one. But this one hadn't been there before, and he was wearing an emerald-green cloak. His wand was still brandished and a small curl of green smoke was curling off the end. Seeing the obvious fear on the girls face, the man quickly put his wand away.

"I'm not going to hurt you." Came a raspy voice.

The voice struck a bell in the girls memory.

"Do I... do I know you?" The girl asked.

"I am all in your past, Eiez. Now, to get rid of this filth." He snapped his fingers and suddenly, every single man lying on her floor disappeared.

Eiez spun around to make sure they were all gone. They were. The man began to turn around to leave.

"WAIT!" Eiez called. She latched onto the hem of his cloak.

"What?" The man asked.

"Can you save her?" Eiez asked frantically while pointing to her mother.

A thousand emotions passed over the man's almost hidden eyes. "If only I could." He said sadly. "But the curse that was used to kill her has no remedy." The man sounded as though his heart had just been ripped out and shattered into a million pieces. Which was exactly how Eiez felt at the moment.

"You saved me..." Eiez said slowly, "why?"

"For many reasons that you are too young to know." The stranger said, "They might be back, in that case, take this." He handed her a small box.

Eiez looked at it. When she looked up to thank the stranger, he was gone. She spun around. He really was gone.

"I will always be around when you need me," she heard the voice of the stranger whisper, and Eiez didn't know why but she felt as though she would be seeing the stranger again.
