Prologue

It was a late evening, the sun began to go down and the wind howled as the trees moved side to side. Their was a small cottage in the forest, surrounded my trees and a pond. A mother and father lived their with their only daughter. "Mom, can I go play outside," the little girl spoke, pulling at her mothers dress. "Sweetie, you know you can't play outside. It's too dangerous." the mother spoke while cutting some freshly picked apples. "But mom! Why is it so dangerous, you never tell me." the young girl pouted, with her arms crossed.

"Okay fine, I'll tell you. Let me get your father." The women placed the apple and knife on the table, before heading out of the kitchen to get her husband. The little girl waited patiently and grabbed a apple slice from the table. Her mother and father came back. They all sat on the chairs around the table. "Sweetie, remember I told you that we are fairies," the little girl nodded her head quickly. "That's why I'm able to talk to animals, right?" The young girl said. Her mother nodded to her. Then her father spoke. "And because we are fairies, it is very dangerous if anyone found us. Some people want to take our powers and kill us, that is why we must hide." The man spoke calmly, waiting for a reaction from the young girl. "But all people aren't like that, right?"

The man looked towards his wife to continue. "Unfortunately, the world is like this. They want to take our powers for themselves, because our powers are great. And I will tell you once again Scarlet-" The you girl named Scarlet stared in her mothers eyes, listening to every word. "-be careful, and do not trust anyone." Scarlet nodded quickly.

Later that night, while everyone was sleeping, and unknown group of people broke in. Scarlet and her parents slept peacefully, unaware of what was about to happen. Scarlet woke to the sound of her parents yelling. Her mother ran into the room with a panicked expression on her face. "Scarlet get up, we have to go!" Scarlet quickly jumped out of her bed, stumbling because of the sudden movement. Her mother grabbed her frail arm and dragged her out of the room. Just before they left the room, Scarlet grabbed her stuffed rabbit. They ran down the stairs. Scarlet spotted her father shapeshifting into a large wolf trying to hold back the intruders. Some fairies like her father had the power to shapeshift into other animals. When they got downstairs they breathed in smoke. The house was set on fire and the fire was spreading fast. They coughed as they ran out the door.

Scarlet's mother carried her and they ran from the house into the woods. Scarlet stared at the burning house. "Dad!" Scarlet screamed, seeing that her father wasn't coming out of the house. "Shh sweetie, be quiet. We don't want them to find us." Her mother stopped running after a while and placed Scarlet on the ground. "Scarlet, listen to me. Keep running, past the lake, you will see your grandma's house. Go to her, okay. I'm going to try and help your father." Scarlet's mom kneeled down and hugged her tightly, "I love you sweetie, okay?" Scarlet nodded her head, "I love you too mom." She hugged her mother tightly, still holding on to the stuffed bunny.

They both broke the hug and Scarlet's mother wiped away the tears on Scarlet's cheeks. "Remember to stay hidden." Her mother said before standing up. "Go, run to your grandma." Hazel hesitated before turning around and running. She looked back and saw her mother waving her hand with tears running down her face. Scarlet hugged her stuffed bunny tightly, while tears fell from her eyes. She ran as fast as her little legs could carry her. She looked back once more, but her mother was no longer there.
