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".
