Read and enjoy

Grace suddenly open up her eyes, as she has fallen asleep when she came back from the forest. The whole kingdom had gone to sleep left for only the guards who were guarding the kingdom. She then look around her little room adjusting her eyes in the dark; someone or rather something had woken her up. But what was it? It was like the person was telling her to wake up.

She stood up from her bed and slowly made her way to the only window she had in her room. When she came close to the window she quietly opened it a little bit to look outside but saw nothing. She sigh and was about to close her window and return to her sleep when her eyes saw some movement slowly, without making a single noise, making their way into the castle. Her eyes widened up a bit when they silently killed the 10 knights station at the east side of the castle where her room was located.

She quickly but quietly shut her window and rush up to her room door, she opened hurriedly not caring if it made a sound or not, then rush to Lily’s room to inform her of what she saw, but when she opened Lily’s room she couldn’t find her. So she rushed out to the Princess room to report to her what she saw outside the castle. When she got to the Princess room and was about to knock on her door when surprisingly it opened and she was dragged into the room.

Grace, about to scream when the voice of the Princess hush her down immediately. “Do not scream idiot”. That shut Grace up completely. “Now, why are you awake by this time of the night?” The Princess asked.
“My Lady, I saw some human figures silently making their way into the castle. That is why I am here for we to inform the King your father of it”. “Oh don’t be ridiculous Grace, this castle is heavily guarded by our best trained Knights, no one I repeat no one can get pass through the knights, so go back to your room and have a good night rest. Tomorrow you will be punished by disturbing me in my chambers”.

“But I am serious my Lady, we are under attack. You can take a look outside for yourself”.

Giving one last irritating look throw at Grace she went and open her window a little bit. She stayed glue for a moment at the window and said. “We are under attack. They are coming to the south wing of the castle, which is here”. As if on cue the giant bell that is usually rung anytime the king wants to announce something to the people or if there is any danger lurking around the kingdom, rang. She turned to look back at Grace “Lets go and inform the castle that we are under attack by some invaders”. The Princess said just as a knock was heard. The princess and Grace quickly find the nearest thing next to them, the Princess took her pen knife that was sharp and hold it tight in her hands, her thought was to use the pen knife to kill whosoever that is behind that door out. Princess Mary then ask “Who is that?”

“It’s me, knight Leonard. Your father ask me to escort you back to the throne room where he is with the rest of the royal family. We are under attack my Princess”.

Princess Mary and Grace quickly rushed out and followed the knight back to the throne room. “Father, what is going on here, why are we under attack” Mary asked once she sighted her father. “I don’t know why we are under attack but with what I see now, we are not the only one being attack. Come on, lets hurry up and go into the ball room where it is more safer the throne room”. The king then told Leonard to inform all the servants they should all come to he ball room before the invaders reached here. The King, Princess Mary and Grace left the throne room to the ball room.


Soon enough, all servants came into the room and the ball room door was closed and locked. Some knights were outside the ball room while some others are with them in the ball room, they were all ready to die for their king as they draw out their swords. They didn’t have to wait for too long as the invaders came and fought the knights guarding outside the ball room. Soon enough, silence suddenly came and the door of the ball room was pull off its hinges by one kick from the invaders. They started coming inside the room, blocking the door. Grace gasp and went backward when she saw hem. They weren’t a normal human beings, each and everyone of them had a tail glue to their back with horns resting on their fore-head, they were creatures she had seen. But where?
Within a twinkle of an eye all the knights were dead and the creatures started coming slowly to them.

**************************************************

A footstep was heard coming nearer to a door, it got to the door and pause a little bit before the door was opened. “You send for me Mother”. A male said to a hooded female figure who was holding a ball of light in her hands. “Yes my son. I told you to come because She is in danger and you must go and save her. Remember no matter what happens you must make sure she do not die today. You have to hurry up, Darken is already in Eleanor as we speak, destroying it. You will go there and rescue her”.

“Yes mother”

“Have I, Diana, ever lied to you?” Diana asked

“No mother”. He answered.

“Then you must make sure she is no harmed, she must not die today. Go now to Eleanor and bring her”. Diana said as the unknown male bowed his head and left, shutting the door behind him.

**********************************************

As the creatures drew closer to them, Grace quickly look around to see if she could still see Lily, but she didn’t. Where on earth could Lily be? Grace ask no one in particular. She turned in time to see one of the creatures aiming at her. As the creature came closer, it was so fast that Grace couldn’t see when it raise its sword to strike her, when the creature was throw back with full force to the ground by an invisible force; the creatures gave out a hideous chilling scream before it turned to ashes. That immediately draw all the creatures attention towards Grace, who started going back. They all left the others and ran so fast like the wind.

A mighty roar sounded right outside the ball room as the ceiling gave way and big Dragon head appear from the opening. Everyone started to scream and they all find places to hide away from the dragon. The Dragon gave another mighty roar and half of the castle gave way; making way for some of the servants that had started running towards the forest, thinking that will be their safest place, but alas they were wrong, they all ran to their deaths by some of the Darken creatures that are in the forest.


Grace slowly turn to look at the Dragon and saw the Dragon looking around as if it was looking for someone. Then the Dragon finally glanced her way as it’s reddish eyes landed on her. It happened so quickly, the Dragon suddenly was in her face and she slowly moved backward. The inhuman creatures attacked again, the Dragon then roared at them sending all of them to the ground. It turn to Grace. ”We are going”. And the Dragon carefully took Grace by its claws and flew away with Grace.


A mighty roar, much louder than the Dragon’s sounded below them. Grace looked down to see a man hidden by the dark the only color on him were his two pair of golden eyes looking angrily at them. Grace saw hatred in those eyes.


**********************************************

Drake was quietly watching the movement of an angry lady that was pacing in front of him. “You know pacing around won’t help you Lillian”. Darken told the lady, Lillian, who grew angrily at his words. "You made me lose a plan that I have been preparing for years in a twinkle of a eye. You made me lose her Darken and I AM NOT HAPPY". Lillian shouted. "Oh please, how could I have know that you are there. You disappeared for so long that I had thought you have gone out of the world dead". Darken replied her in the same way she had to him.

"Me dead? I can't die so easily. You seems to have forgotten so soon the daughter I am". "I know that, and that is why you still have your head. Now, lets us think of a way of bring out Selena's Daughter out of the Drakings kingdom so that we can eliminate her". Darken said. "I have a plan a good plan that can make Grace to come out from the Drakings kingdom". Lillian sair after a while.

"You do?".


"Yes, just give me a few days more and Grace will be in my palm".

"How are you so sure this plan of yours will work?" Darken asked anxiously. "Yes it will, just say the word and I shall deliver her to you in a platter of gold". Lillian said to Darken who nodded his head slowly. "Then you have my word Lillian".
