I can hear screaming and shouting outside, people are crying, begging for mercy. What is happening? Why can't I see anything? It's so dark.

"Wha-what?" What? I can't speak clearly. I looked at my hands and they were so small like a baby.

"Whoever kidnapped my daughter will be off with their head!" A man shouted. What? Head? How cruel is he? I tried to see what was happening, but I was too small.

"Your Highness, the knights ca-captured a man, and he is carrying a large bag!" A man said while catching his breath, then after that, a bang was heard, knights marching and then a man crying.

Why are there knights? Why is that man killing his men? They're innocent! I was so scared that I fell on my butt.

I was going to continue listening when someone carried me. I struggle so hard but failed. The man gripped me tightly. He put a handkerchief on my mouth.

"Why were you even born anyway?" that was the last thing I heard, before losing consciousness.

I woke up hearing men talking. Where am I now? I'm being tied tightly, I'm in a forest, a campfire, two guys talking and with horses. This is like in every action or fantasy movie.

"Where's the girl?" another man appeared. Woah, his eyes look like a cat, the color of its are like a pure deep emerald. His hair isn't that attractive, it's just plain black. Even his clothes, who wear capes? Are they somehow superheroes? Gosh, wherein a modern century!

Well, that's what I thought at first.

"Yes, sir!" my senses came back, and that the knights came near me, drawing swords at me. The man behind hid his face in a hood, but I saw how his grin grew wider and the last words he said.

"Goodnight, Princess Lenria" Then the knights swing their swords at me. I tightly shut my eyes.

"No!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Natalia!" what?

So, it was just a dream, how weird. It felt real, I felt pain, I know it was true, but how can I prove it to this dumb bastard? He keeps laughing when I screamed.

"HAHAHAHA, you don't know how ugly you are when you screamed!" He looks like he's about to cry from laughing, he stopped, touched his stomach, and putting his other hand on his knees for support so that he won't fall.

I stared at him. And without second thought kicked the hand that was supporting. He fell and hit his head. This time I was the one laughing hard.

"That hurts Natalia!!" He holds his head, wincing in pain. Look how pathetic you are, David.

David is a friend of mine, wait—let me change that, we're childhood friends. So, I'm stuck with this moron ever since we're a baby. My mom and his mom were high school best friends. I can't even have a day without him, everywhere I go he's always there. I even think he put a tracker on me. Just the thought of that makes me shiver, gosh. What if he's a stalker?

"Natalia, won't you help me?" He lends out his hand. I'm not dumb, I know that once he'll grab me, he'll pull me. I'm not falling for that. I walked away from him. I hear him calling my name a lot.

"I pity you, David. Natalia, won't ever grab your hand. She's not liked the girls you've met before." Jacob said while helping David.

"I know, that's what makes her interesting."

"You know, I'm not that far from you guys. I can still hear you." I said, my phone vibrated. A notification? Oh, my birthday is tomorrow. I wonder what'll do?

"Tomorrow is your birthday!" Jacob said behind my back. Jacob is a friend of David, they're part of a band. Then someone put an arm on my shoulder.

"My, you didn't know? I think I'm the only one who knows your birthday." David said proudly.

"I don't think so." We looked behind us. And saw our other friends.

"Melina!" I shouted and ran to her to hug her. She hugged me back. Melina is the vocalist in David's band. We met at their first live.

"Hey, Talia!" Jessy hugged me too. She's our youngest friend. They're pretty famous around the campus. Of course, who wouldn't know their band?

"So, Talia, where are you going to celebrate?" Jessy asked, all of them looked at me, waiting for an answer.

"I don't know though, still thinking about it," I said, then again all of them looked at each other like they're agreeing on something.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing," they said in unison.

"Let's go home, I'm tired." I walked away, and they followed me.

"Uhm, Talia. We're going somewhere first." David said.

"All of you?" I pointed at all of them, they nod quickly. I nod back at them and they started walking away.

Maybe they're practicing, I don't want to bother them. The last time, I went to their practice, they couldn't stop guarding me because there a lot of 'flies' means men. It kept bothering me.

I went to my room directly and jumped on my bed. So soft and fluffy.

"I'm going to marry my bed someday" Somehow, I still remember the dream.

What a weird dream, why did I dream about that? Sighs, thinking all at once, makes my head hurt.

"Princess Lenria" Lenria? Who is she, anyway? Why did he call me Lenria?

I fell asleep while thinking of that girl. What if I went back into that dream? I hope I won't, it's horrifying, I don't want to die in that dream. God, please don't.

As luck, I didn't dream about dying. Phew. I looked at my phone, and like I've received a ton of messages from the guys. It's my birthday today, I was happy that they didn't forget. But one message got me curious. As I read, I wonder how he or she got my number, and why a message like this.

I didn't mind it anyway and continue doing my daily routine. I put the phone down on the table, really exposing the message.

"Happy Birthday Natalia Melville, wish you lived long. I've been looking everywhere for you, even before I met you"
