Chapter 1 - Demon
Screeching sirens filled the star-lit sky as i ran from the dreadful scene.
I hid behind a bush, a safe distance away from the castle,engulfed in flames.
Crying, I turned from the flames and ran as far as i can.
The tears from my eyes fell like bullets,one by one.
I still heard sirens,only this time it was police sirens,not ambulence or one of the fire-fighters huge,red trucks.
Just police sirens,moving closer to where i was.
Running faster,i relized i had to hide.
I was used to hiding by now,though i hated to.
Ever since the war broke out,ive ben hiding.Hiding from everything.
I was scared of the smallest sounds,be a squirrel in a tree or a mouse lurking about.
This time was different,i wasnt afraid.
I knew what i had to do,and that was to find my father.
My mother would have forbidden me to go on my quest to find him.
She was,in fact, queen of Churico.
My dad was afraid of her, so that is why he fled 12 years ago,when i was born.
Ever since i was 3 i knew how to take care of myself,who else would?
Not my mom or any of her servants that neil before her every need.
I wanted to be alone all my life,to not depend on anyone for anything.
That is why my mother hates me,and that is why i set fire to her castle.
Everything i hated,everything i feard,was now in flames.
I smiled at the thought of that.
Hopefully my mother died in the flames.
The sirens were now dying, probably turning away in frustration.
I was good at not being seen.
Silently, i crept into the dark part of the woods.
This is my hiding place whenever my mother got on my nerves.
I had made friends with some animals in the forest.
Besides them, i had no friends at all.
A strong wind forced my brown hair into my eyes.
The winds were rapidly growing stronger everyday,as i noticed.
What was happening?
I had no time to think of it now.
Nothing could stop my dissapearence now, as long as I kept looking forward,and moving at a good pace.
I suddenly felt a sting at my back, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Sunlight filled my half closed eyes as i struggled to get up.
I felt so weak, i gave up after my third attempt.
My eyes struggled to get into focus.
I soon found out i was in a cave, and a person was standing over me and looking at me as if he had seen a ghost arise form the dead.
He stumbled away in fright.
When i got up, i brushed myself off.
I glared at him.
"What!?"
He finally said,7 moments later.
"I demand to know who you are!"
'Woa, i am starting to sound like my mother...'
I shivered at the thought.
"I...I....I'm...."
"Well?you gona tell me or ein't ya?"
The boy looked at me,not so scared any more.
He suddenly started to laugh a little.
Aslow smile spread accross my face.
"What are YOU laughing at,kid?"
"You....your the queens daughter ein't ya?"
"Yes what of it?"
"I thought you were dead.They had a fire at your castle ya know?"
"Yes...i know well about it..."
He glared at me with his sweet,cold blue eyes.
"YOU started the fire,didnt you?"
The smile on my face dissapeared at his words.
"Excuse me?"
"Never mind."
"Ok.well, you never told me who you were."
"My name is...."
He hesitated,as though thinking up a name for himself.
"....Steven..."
I didnt believe him at all, but why try to get a real name out of him.
I held my hand out to him.
"And my name is Kayla.call me lyra."
"Why lyra?"
"That is the name i made up, for i will never use the name my mother gave me in public."
"Why?its a nice name..."
"Because i hate my mother."
He hushed after i said those words,dead seriously.
I almost forgot how mad i was.
"How did i get here?"
He shrugged.
"I thought you was dead,lying here in this cave, dead still..."
"Oh.."
"How old are you?"
He questioned.
"I am 12.and you?"
"12 as well."
"Well, im going to go now."
I said after an akward silence.
I left the cave and saw something spectacular.
The cave view was straight to a huge waterfall,sparkling water,hitting rocks as it flew down the steep hill.
My eyes glistened for a moment when i saw someone climbing the waterfalls side.
A man,Not too old.
Something inside me fluttered when i saw he was about to fall.
Something inside told me to help him.
But how?
Suddenly i remembered why i felt that sting on my back.
My demon.
It mustve finally appeared.
But where was it?
