I'm writing a story!!! Here it is so far: It's long I know.



The moon hid behind the sky as the sun came out. What a nice morning, she thought walking towards the window to lift the blinds. Dréama Evelyn Smith was her name. A fair maiden from the Dragon lords. Her blood was of royalty, yet the heart of a commoner. She didn't care for luxuries of Azra. She dressed then went downstairs for some breakfast. It's time, right when no one is looking. When all are busy cleaning up after breakfast I shall take my leave.
As she stood she heard her name called, "Dréama! There you are." It was Tamaki. She had grown up with him and he had annoyed her all her life. "Where are you off to?" He asked, "Don't you have duties to attend to?" Tamaki's father was best friends with the king.
Great. Why can't he ever leave me alone? She thought, thurning to face him "I...uh..." She couldn't think of any excuse to give him, her mind had gone completely blank.
"You wanted to see how the decoration was coming along I bet," he suggested. Tamaki has always had a crush on her. He had chestnut brown hair that falls upon his eyes and chartreuse eyes.
"Yeah! That's it. I just couldn't help myself," she said quickly.
"Well, you're going to have to. No one can see it until it's finished tonight," he said. Tonight is a special night in Azra. It is the last day of June which was when a great tragedy had come to an end. Azra had a terrible ruler as of four years ago until my father ended his reign thus Azra had a new beginning. So, on the last day of June ever since then we have a festival to celebrate our emancipation.

Tamaki grabbed her arm and led her away to the main castle. "Come now, there's a matter that we must urgently discuss." They entered a large room with crimson colored walls. The room was completely empty with the exception of a large table that seats 30 and a few paintings. The two sat down, there was a tense sensation in the room.
"What's going on?" Dréama wondered. Why does everyone look so troubled?
"Well," the king started, "We have a serious situation. People have been found dead in their homes. Every one with a bite mark on their neck. We took it for analysis and DNA testing, however they couldn't come up with anything. They said that whatever had did this wasn't human."
"What ever do you think it is?" Dréama asked horrified.
"A beast!" someone suggested.
"A werewolf," came another voice.
"A monster." Another person said. Everyone was yelling and calling out suggestions as if the room were on fire and they couldn't get out.
"ENOUGH!" yelled the king and all went silent. He turned to his military advisor, "I want solders and guards patrol the sky. Start setting up camera at each intersection and on every building.
"Yes sir," he responded then went off to start. Everyone thought it was a sound plan, so no one objected.

Dréama tended to her duties as usual, thinking of the right moment to flee Azra. Suddenly, it came to her. The festival! Everyone will be too busy to notice! I'll say thatI must use the restroom. No one would follow of course. I'll stray away from the crowd and commotion. I'll grab my dragon Lárayn and fly out of here unnoticed. Then she remembered about the king's plan and realized it might be harder than she anticipated. She bounded down the stairs to meet Umehito, her date for the festival. She felt bad about how she was planning to ditch him, however it's something that must be done. Umehito is a prince in waiting for a nearby kingdom of Elrian. His fair hair glowed brightly in the light while his brown eyes sparkled at the sight of her. "Good evening. Shall we go?" he asked charmingly.
"We shall," Dréama answered. They entered the festival in awe of the decorations. Banners, sparkles, glitter, lights, food, games, music and people as far as the eye can see. She waited until it was time to eat. Everyone would be too preoccupied with their food to notice the fact that she'd actually be gone for more than three minutes. Excuse me, I must use the restroom." She claimed as she got up from the table and walked off, turning around every so often to make sure she's not being followed. She ran to the castle as fast as she could and got an Lárayn's back then flew into the night. She had to be aware of her surroundings at all times, so she wouldn't run into her father's dragon knights in the sky. She flew over the weeping forest listening to the cries of the trees along the way. She still wasn't sure of where she was going to go. All she knew is that she had to get out of Azra. She wasn't even sure if she was going to ever return. She flew for hours until she no longer recognized the land below her. Seeing a small village she descended upon it with ease.

Meanwhile back in Azra chaos occured as everyone ran in different directions looking for her.
"Where could she be!?" Tamaki wailed running around the caslte like a madman.
"How could you loose her?" The king was yelling angrily at Umehito.
"It wasn't my fault." He said, "She told me she had to use the bathroom. That's the last thing I've heard from her."
"I bet it was," the king roared, "How do I know that you didn't have men from your kingdom kidnap her!? I don't believe you at all! Tell your father, king of Elrian that this means war! Prepare his armies because we attack soon." Then Umehito was banished from the kingdom and sent back to his own.
"I'm sure she didn't..." Renge pondered to herself. Renge was Dréama's best friend from childhood. The only person to know what and why Dréama left.
"Did what?" Tamaki exclaimed. "If you know something Renge, you must tell us."
"Well..." she started, "alright. She said that she had to get away. Leave Azra, that she was waiting for the right moment and I suppose she found it. She told me she had to find her true love and that it was not in this kingdom."
"What!?" The king who overheard their conversation roared. "Preposterous, what of Tamaki?"
"She said he annoyed her."
Tamaki looking extremely disappointed, "I see. Well then I hope you don't find her."
"Quit being immature!," Renge scolded him, "Just because she doesn't like you romantically doesn't mean she's not your friend."
"I suppose that's true," he concluded, "Right then! Send out the dragons." The king nodded in agreement and left to send out a search party.

Wandering through the vast streets of the village she listened to the sounds. "What do you mean you got fired?" came from a small house that is in need of some new windows for these were broken, being held by tape. Children's laughter came from the next followed by a couple arguing over whether or not they should have taken some money offer or not. Then came the conversation that intrigued her the most.
"Are you going back to Azra again tonight?" came a woman's voice. She sounded like she was in her early 50's.
"Yes. I must. It's so ..... fresh." came another. This time male, more close to Dréama's age of 18. His voice was silky and deep.
"This habit of yours is sickening." the woman said.
"I cannot help it. It's in my nature. You know of this curse." replied the male. As Dréama moved closer to the window she accidentally knocked down an empty barrel that made a racket as it rolled across the street. "Hush. I think someone is listening in on our conversation." he said. uh-oh. I had better hide. She thought as she rushed into shadow across the street next to a building behind a bush. He'll never see me here. It's pitch black outside and I'm hidden well. The man came out of the house. He had black hair that went slightly past his eyes. He looked around 16-18 and crystal blue eyes that could make you freeze if you were to look into them. He also had teeth resembling fangs and was dressed very casual. He looked all around his house then his eyes darted across the street to Dréama's exact location. She was staring him in the eyes and it seems he was doing the same to her. Can he see me? They stayed like that for a few minutes before the woman called him back in. He stopped at the doorstep, turned around and smiled at her before going inside. Kyoya. His name is Kyoya. Could he see me? No, that would be preposterous. Dréama stood once again this time waiting a minute before going up to the window. She crouched under it so not to be seen and listened again.

"What was it Kyoya?" the soman wondered.
"It seems the village has a visitor. An outsider. Most likely from a far kingdom by the way she's dressed." he replied. So he could see me! I knew it. I wonder why he hadn't confronted me or anything.
"With that said I must be off. Azra cannot wait forever you know."
"Don't forget to be back before sunrise. With your condition you cannot be out in sunlight." the woman reminded him.
"Yes, I know." he said turning the knob. Shoot! Dréama thought as she stood up and began to run off, but it was too late. He knew of her now, he knew she was listening, he knew she was there. "Stop." he said. He didn't seem startled. He seemed rather calm and for some reason so did she. Dréama wasn't nervous about being caught, she wasn't afraid of him turning her in. She should have been, but she just wasn't. She turned around as he walked towards her. "Tell me, where do you come from?" he asked.
"What is it of your concern"? Dréama asked cautiously.
"Ah, I see. So you're going to be like that. I can offer you protection from wherever you're running from and from anyone wanting your identity. I can offer you shelter from all the elements seeing as how you have no place to reside. In return I wish your name and where you're from." he said suavely.
"Dréama, princess of Azra."
"Princess? My my my, you've come a long way from home my dear. What brings you here if you do not mind my asking." He replied.
"W..we....ll.." she stuttered, suddenly realizing that she was blushing. She swallowed and got the words out, "I'm looking for my true love." Her voice suddenly quiet and timid.
"I see. Well, I hope you find it." He said touching her cheek lightly. "Come, it's night. People will get suspicious if you wander around alone in those clothes." He opened the door to his home and led her in. Dréama had to squint her eyes for it was even darker inside than out.
"I can't see anything."
"Ah, I can fix that." He replied turning on the lights. Blinking as her eyes adjust to the sudden light change. The house was quaint and average sized, yet cozy. She felt at home as soon as she sat down on the velvet green couch. "May I get you anything princess?"
"No, thank you. I'm fine." Dréama replied looking around. "That lady I heard. Who was she?"
"Hm?" Oh yes, Kaname. My aunt."
"Oh," Dréama replied in an almost indifferent tone.
"Are you disappointed?" Kyoya asked sitting down next to her, so close that he's on her lap. "Sounds like it."
"Not at all!" Dréama said quickly and jumped up from the couch. "I'm thirsty." She wasn't actually thirsty. She didn't know why she had just did that. She's never acted this way before due to a guy.
"Very well. Come with me to the kitchen." He said leading the way, "What do you want? Iced tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water, lemonade, soda?"
"Soda. Thank you." She said taking it from him.

Meanwhile in Azra things have calmed down a bit. "I can't believe she'd just run off like this." The king said, "I really can't..and won't. Renge. You are going to be banished out of the castle unless you tell the truth."
"What!?" Tamaki and Renge exclaimed at the same time.
"You heard me! You and that Miroku from Elrian are dating again aren't you? Miroku is close with Umehito. Umehito probably told Miroku to tell you that as a cover so when Elrian's men take away Dréama we'll think she just left on her own." The king reasoned.
"No! It isn't like that at all! You belive me right Tamaki?" She turned to him.
"I don't know who to believe." He sighed, I'm sorry, but we can't prove she was kidnapped."
