4. Chapter 4 Dream: Run Away From the World

Chapter 2 A whole New Life

Blaze smiled when she thought of her new found friend. She stared into the orb, and sometimes she imagined the green side of the orb was Silver and the orange side was herself.

Could you have feelings for him?

What? Feelings! No way! We just met!

Then how can you explain the weird behaviour you had ever since you met him?

I don't miss him at all!

Don't lie to yourself. You know you like him.

I don't! Go away!

I can't - I'm your conscience.

I don't care! Silver's just a friend!

Shut up!

You shut up!

Blaze sighed. She hated arguing to herself, but this time, the argument meant something to her. Did she like him – or did she not? She sighed once more, and walked to the window to see the moon and the stars. "They're out early." she said, "When will I ever see you again?"

"Princess Blaze! Come quickly! This is terrible!" cried the steward. "What is it?" asked Blaze, as she came rushing down the spiral staircase. "Your parents! They're dead!" cried the steward, puffing and panting to keep up with her.

"Dead?" Blaze cried. She ran to the dead bodies of her parents. "I don't believe this. I just don't believe this! My father's the King! How did this happen?" she asked. "Don't die," she whispered, crying in silent tears.

"There's no point crying over them, Princess. They won't come back to life. You're the Queen. You have to be strong and rule your people the way your mother did." the steward said, trying his best to comfort her.

"How could this be?" asked Blaze, as she rushed up the staircase to her bedroom to cry. "Princess Blaze?" asked the steward. "Tomorrow you will be crowned Queen of your people. You will be married to Prince Todd, understood?"

"What? Prince Todd? The fat guy from the human world! Dream on!" Blaze cried. "I am not dreaming," said the steward, and he left immediately.

That night, as she lay in bed, Blaze made up her mind to run away. She had everything planned in her scheming mind, and she planned to avenge her parents. She felt sure that her people were responsible for their deaths.
