Star walked back to her room she sat on her bed and the letter that Marco gave her floated to the ground off the bed. She looked at the letter and decided to read it.

Hi Olivia,

I know I just met you but you are only one who understands about the Dark lands, and I think you deserve to know something…When I was little at night I found a spirit from the Dark lands, it was hurt, I helped it and it promised that my family and I would be safe from the spirits. I trusted him and ….. She told me about the Darks lands and their King Lord Spite, and how the spirits are trapped there but if he was every defeated we would be free, but many have tried they are all stopped by his powerful sword buts that's another story, I need to meet you at the entrance at 12

See you

Marco

Star, look at the bell tower and saw the clock it was ten to twelve, she jumped out the window and ran to the gates.

Star was bit scared about going because the dark land spirits come out a 1:00, she found her way to the gate and saw Marco there, he saw me and gestured me to come and sit where he was.

"Ok, I guess you read the letter" said Marco,"Yeah I did, but we need to be the quick the spirits come out soon" said Star.

"I know I know" said Marco. "See that purple Light" said Marco.

"That's His sword" said Marco "he lives in a castle in the centre of the dark lands" said Marco "I want to free the spirits" said Marco.

"They deserve a free life" said Marco "and I was wondering if you would go with me" said Marco.

"I..I can't" said Star "oh…ok" said Marco "bye then" Marco said sounding quite sad.

"Marco I can't go because….because…" Marco turned to look at her "I'M THE PRINCESS" said Star as she fell to her knees.

"You're the Princess?" Said Marco "So I should call you Star" said Marco.

Star didn't move, "Are you Ok?" said Marco. He saw something behind Star, "A spirit" said Marco "shew shew".

The spirit moved away and looked for someone else. "Why are they out so early" said Marco.

Star collapsed, "Oh no!" said Marco he took Star in his arms and carried her to the castle, he didn't know how he was going to get her to her bed.

He looked around, and then saw a boy looking out the window with some binoculars.

Marco thought he could help but didn't know how to get his attention.

He put Star down, and picked up a small rock, he threw it near the wall to get his attention. The rock hit the wall on top of his head and then bounced off and hit his head.

He looked down and saw Marco, he also saw Star then looked at what time it was, he eyes grew wide and his head went out of the window and a second later he was down with Marco.

"What are you doing with Star" said Nick "Ok My name is Marco and I found her in the streets so I brought her here" said Marco.

"Wait how do you know she is the princess" said Nick "One you just said she was and two she said to take her to the castle so I just put two pieces together" said Marco.

"Ok thanks, I will take her back" said Nick 'Thank You" said Marco.

Nick picked up Star, "Wait, she was bitten by a spirit, she needs to be given this" said Marco holding out a syringe.

"How can I trust you?" said Nick, "if I was going to poison her wouldn't I have done it when I found her" said Marco "fair point" said Nick, "alright I will give it to her when I get her back to her room" said Nick.

Nick carried Star to her room, the clock struck 1:00 Marco ran from the castle to his house trying to dodge all the spirit.

He finally made it too his house which was now deserted, he hated being at home, it reminded him of his family.

The only reason he had survived was because the spirit he helped protected him, but couldn't protect his family.

Flash Back

"Please help" screamed Marco.

The Spirits came crashing into his house, a spirit came charging at him, but the spirit he protected years ago protected him from the charge.

The spirit then tried charging again and again, but the spirit still protected him.

Another spirit entered his house and charged at his family.

"Please!... Please protect my family" Marco cried out.

I'm sorry I can only protect you" said the spirit, Marco watched his family be 'spited' by the spirits.
