I awoke to the smell of smoke. Heavy smoke covered my room, to where I couldn't see anything. I began to violently cough from the smoke I inhaled.

I jumped out of bed and headed toward the window. I opened it and gasped at the sight before me; houses on fire, people and animals running in all different directions.

"Annalise," I heard someone scream. It was my mother. She barged into my room. "Darling, we must leave at once."

She grabbed my wrist and led me out of the room. "Mama, what's going on?" I asked her, trying to keep up with her long strides.

She stopped then turned to me, "The King's men are destroying the village."

The king and his men are ruthless. They feel no remorse. When the king lost his parents, he completely changed; from being a sweet little boy to now a merciless ruler.
