Idk if this is part 7! I'm just guessing! ^.^

Kristina sighed uncomfortably. She hated being in the darkness. She was in the very back of the group, exhausted, she struggled to keep up. She stumbled over a boom root and fell to the ground. She sighed in frustration. “That’s it! I say we camp out here until tomorrow morning when we can actually see.” She zei crossing her arms emphasizing the last word. Everyone turned to look at her and she suddenly found herself wishing she hadn’t zei anything. charlotte sighed. “I agree with Kristina. We’re all exhausted; we’ll have better luck in the morning.” charlotte settled herself volgende to Kristina and jasmijn also sat down. “Well, looks like their not going to change their minds.” James sighed and grabbed the only box of matches they had from his pocket. “Might as well make a fire, it’s going to be a long night.” He zei striking a match causing burning light to light up the groups face. The others sighed in defeat and sat on the floor. For a while no one zei a thing. Then, one door one, everyone but Kristina slowly fell asleep. Kristina watched the dying fire. She knew her body was tired, and that she should sleep, but she couldn’t bring herself to fall asleep. She sighed as the brand flickered, she could tell it would go out at any moment. She pushed herself off the ground and brushed herself off and spotted a large tree. She walked over to it and gripped onto the lowest branched. After a quick twirl she landed on a firm branch. She smiled, glad all those years of gymnastics and cheerleading had paid off. Kristina pulled her kap up and stuck in her headphones and watched the stars until she slowly drifted to sleep.

    


I was sitting on my bed while my ladies in waiting rummaged through my closet looking for the “perfect dress”. I knew tonight was one of the biggest nights since the war started, but I didn’t know exactly how important. Suddenly my mom burst into my room. She cried out in anger whenever she saw me; dress in my regular dress, nothing special about me. “Why isn’t she in her dress yet?! u should already be doing her hair.” She barked at my three ladies in waiting making me feel extremely bad for them. My mom was one of the nicest and kindest people I knew; so I knew this night was going to be important. “We can’t find a dress proper for this occasion.” Stuttered one of the women. My mom sighed. “I was afraid of that. Here.” She zei thrusting a light roze dress at them, and with that she stormed out of my room mumbling something about James. I sighed as the ladies push me into the bathroom. I stripped off my dress and they started putting the wired cage on me so the dress would stick out. volgende the pulled the corset I had on tighter. Sometimes it really sucked being a princess. I sighed as they put a couple of under layers to give the dress volume, then finally, they pulled the dress over my head and pushed me outside sitting me in a chair and started on my hair. I sighed as they finished off my make up and pushed me in front of a full mirror. I gasped. The dress was light roze ball gown. The bottom of it was beautifully layered and ruffled. It reached the ground covering my feet. The top, boven was spaghetti straps. It had a diamond riem around the waist that was built into the dress. meer diamonds framed my chest and pulled attention in the right places. It was absolutely beautiful. My hair had been pulled into a bun yet the curls showed through. I had on light brown eye shadow and my lips had been painted a dark pink. My eyelashes were full, I felt and looked meer beautiful then I had in my entire life, which frightened me. What could possible be this formal? Lastly there was the Evergren tiara on my head. The tiara was the jewel of the planet. It was absolutely priceless. It represented the four elements, my powers. On the far left side was a white diamond swirl. It represented air. volgende to it was a red ruby flame, it represented fire. volgende to it was a green smaragd, emerald leaf, it represented earth and nature. Last on the right there was a blue sapphire wave, it represented water. I had never been allowed to wear it before. I walked out of my room with two of my ladies in waiting following me and behind the, two guards. Guards. They followed me and my brother everywhere. Ever since the war had begun we had two with us at all times. At the avondeten, diner table, outside our doors, when I took walks, basically where ever I went, two muscular looking guys followed. I walked down the hall a little and turned to face two large doors with two guys standing there looking bored. I knocked lightly on the door and asked, “James, can I come in?” I waited awhile then a deep voice from the inside called out. “Yea, it’s open.” I twisted the door knob and the door swung open. “Well don’t we look nice?” He teased me playfully. I blushed and looked down. “Do u know what this dinner/meeting is?” I questioned looking up in curiosity. James shrugged. “I donno.” He zei honestly. I sighed “Are u ready for this/” He asked my holding out his arm. I took a deep breath and nodded taking his arm as we headed out of his room towards the ‘party’. When we arrived they made us stand out side when someone blows the trumpet and someone else announced, “Presenting Prince James and Princess Charlotte.” He spoke in a loud voice. The doors slowly opened and we started to walk towards the thrones. There were so many people. I hang onto James shyly, nodded and smiling occasionally. When we reached the thrones I sat to the left of my mom and James sat to the left of my dad. “Let this meeting come to order.” My father zei in his booming voice. I sat perfectly still and held my head high. Everyone took their seats and my father began to speak, “You all know why u have been called here. Today we will be discussing -” My fathers sentence was interrupted door the breaking of glass. We the ceiling was a skylight and we looked up to see hundreds of men streaming through the ceiling. Totally chaos broke out. “GET THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OUT OF HERE!” Shouted my father. Four guards rushed to me pulling me up to my feet. We caught up with James and we rushed to the escape pods. They pushed James and me into the escape pod. My mother came and handed us both a bag full of clothes and other things. The door closed. Through the glass I could see the men fight each and a lot of blood. I felt sick to my stomach. My mom hit the launch button and we began to take off right when a man came up behind my mom and grabbed her around the neck pulling her back.



charlotte awoke covered in sweat and shivering. She had dreamt of her last night on Evergren. charlotte sighed reaching out for her bag. She pulled it over to her and pulled out the tiara. She still had it. There wasn’t enough time to give it back. She looked at it longingly, wishing she knew what had happened to her parents. She looked around, but couldn’t see anything since the brand had gone out, but she guessed it was close to morning because she could see the sun rising in the distance. She sighed and sat up; there was nothing for her to do. Then, slowly, one door one the others woke up.



jasmijn opened her eyes to a bright light. She sat up slowly rubbed her eyes and looked around. Everyone else seemed to be up. She stood up and walked over to Charlotte. “Hey, how’d u sleep?” She mumbled. A painful look appeared upon Charlotte’s face, as if she was remembering something painful, but she smiled a fake forced smile and retorted, “Good, what about you?” jasmijn knew she was lying through her teeth, but she let it go. “I’ve had better.” She zei with a smile. She looked around again. “Hey, where’s Kristina?” She questioned puzzled. Before charlotte could answer Kristina flipped in front of them from somewhere above. “Getting breakfast.” She zei with ease, as if they were on a vacation and not stranded on a deserted island. She arrived with bananas, pineapples and black berries. “What no fish?” joked Charlotte’s brother, James, walking towards us. Kristina gave him a you’re super immature look. “No, I’m a vegetarian.” She remarked. jasmijn looked at Kristina with curiosity. “How’d u do that?” She asked. Kristina gave a proud but kind of embarrassed smile “I’ve taken gymnastics since I was like, three.” She zei and handed jasmijn and charlotte a fruit “You guys need to eat; we have a long dag a head of us.” She zei then turned and walked away. jasmijn sighed. She wasn’t really that hungry but she knew Kristina was right. They had to keep their strength up. She peeled the ripe banaan and took a bite and watched as charlotte did the same.

Author’s Note:

1.) Happy Halloween everyone! I know it’s not till tomorrow but I don’t think I’ll have time to write tomorrow.

2.) I debated over whether of not to put Jasmine’s and Julie’s dreams in this story, but decided not to so everyone could have their own special article.

3.) I have only ‘assigned’ a love interest to Kristina because she’s my character. Other people have zei that their character is A. dating someone else, of B. engaged to someone else. So I would like to know, do u want u character to have a love interest, and do u want it to be your OCC of mine?

4.) I’m thinking about changing the name of the artikel to “Secrets of the Past and Horrors of the Future” if u like this titel better please say so.

5.) Thanks for reading this story! It’s so much fun to write this! And sorry this one is a little shorter than usual.
