Prologue
"Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might have this wish I wish tonight." That was the start of an old fairy tale, of how a wishing star fell out of the sky, and landed in a forest. Then a group of heroes and villains fought each other, just to make a wish. And in the end, the wishing star and it's only wish, was destroyed. After the epic battle, our heroes lived on and told the stories of their adventures.
The best story, was of how Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws and Perrito formed Team Friendship and went on so many adventures together. Many years have passed and no one knows what happened to them. In present day, the kingdom of Far Far Away became a city and all of the princes and princesses became legends. However, there was a darkness in Far Far Away. The police was investigating something called: "The Nightmare Cartel."
Police have made arrests, drug busts, but they still have no idea who the leader is. This story begins in a mansion, with Randy Rutherford, his wife Amanda, and their son Victor. When people see them, they think they're a perfect family. Except they were not perfect, because both Amanda and Victor were abused by Randy; because as it secretly turns out, he is the leader of The Nightmare Cartel.
They both wanted it to end, the abuse, the cartel, everything. They wanted to tell the police everything, but they were threatened by Randy. He said that if they said one word, they would die. Amanda wished he could take Victor and run away; but she thought it would be impossible. Whilst Randy dealt with the cartel, Amanda worked in an office building. Victor was only five so he would go to school.
Whilst at school, Victor would listen to stories of an ogre called: "Shrek" his wife Fiona, their three children, their friend Donkey, Donkey's dragon wife and children. The stories would say how they defeated villains like Lord Farquaad, The Fairy Godmother, her son Prince Charming, and Rumpelstiltskin. And each story ended the same way: they all lived happily ever after.
After listening to the stories, Victor would wish he and his mom would live happily ever after. But he also thought it would be impossible. Each day, Amanda finished work and drove to pick up Victor after school. They both knew that they were always being watched, not just by Randy, but by members of his cartel. As Amanda drove back to the mansion, something was watching from the rooftops.
However, it wasn't a member of the cartel, it was something darker. All it did was watch; with bright red eyes.
