It was a rainy day, when she came back. I'm talking about Sid, a girl whom lost her parents in a car accident... Or at least that's how it looked...
Anyway, finally she turned back home after 11 years in an orphanage. Now she's 16 years and ready to find the truth. The house isn't the same. There are spider nets everywhere and the floor is full of dust. Half of the house is destroyed and what's left from her room, are only ruins. Sid remains shocked from the view. She asks herself: "Is this my house or it's only a bad dream?" But then she comes back to reality... That's her house, or better, what remains from it.
Then, a few steps from her, Sid looks at a little and dirty doll. Suddenly she starts smiling.
- Juliet, you don't know how I've missed you!
And after the smile, there are some tears.
- You know? All these years I've been thinking how would I revenge my parents... But now I don't know anything. I don't have any clues. Maybe it was only an accident...
After these words, Sid put the doll in her bag and started looking for other things. The most useful thing she found was a little knife, decorated pretty nice. There were some words, but Sid couldn't understand them.
Now, after the memories passed once again through Sid's mind, she became ready.
- It's time for me to continue my journey!
Those were her words, and after them Sid started her journey, a journey filled with danger, enemies, new friends and sorts of things. A journey that will be the greatest adventure of our girl, SID.
* * *
It's been days since she started her path to find the truth. And nothing is going on. She's been walking without a clue for hours and still hasn't met anyone. But then, in the grassy desert, seems like someone is asking for help. Sid follows the voice and suddenly is standing in front of a big and old palace. The palace seems so royal. But the enchantment vanishes very fast cause the voice keeps calling for help. The voice comes from inside. And again, Sid follows it. In difference fom outside, when Sid entered the palace, she got really surprised. If outside was enchanting, inside was terrible. It looked like Sid was into one of her worst nightmares. Some skeletons were hanged in the walls. One of them, a woman with a beautiful red dress, had a necklace. It was just like Sid's necklace, a gift from her mother in her birthday, 5th anniversary. Another skeleton had a beautiful black suit, like he was going to a party. The suit was exactly the same with her father's suit in her birthday.
- OMG, what's happening?
Suddenly, a creature, whose face Sid couldn't see , appeared in front of her and said:
-Now you're mine! You're going to your parents...
-You killed my parents? You'll pay for that!
A devil laugh came out of the creature. But then, the view changed. It wasn't anymore Sid's nightmare. A boy, who seemed the same age with Sid was standing in front of her.
- Who are you? - he asked. Then he looked around. He seemed so scared. From all sides some creatures were going near to Sid and the boy, whose name isn't known yet. Sid looked better. Those creatures were wolves, or better they were were-wolves, cause one of them turned into a human.
- You! I'll kill you!- the boy shouted.
- Wait, do you know him? - Sid looked suspicios.
-Yeah, I know him. Cause he killed my brother and my parents.
-Wait a second! When I was alone, I saw my parents killed, and someone who seemed like their killer. Now that you arrived, you see your brother's killer. These are our nightmares.
- You think this might be a trap?
- Maybe but...
Before ending the phase, Sid and the boy heard a voice:
- You fool, now you are part of it and you cannot leave!
- Who are you? - asked Sid and the boy in the same time.
- I am a guardian, the guardian of "Nightmares Palace".
- So it was you...
- Yes, but do not worry. These nightmares will not disturb you... after you will go crazy.
Sid heard again that devil laugh.
- We should find a way out, - the boy said.
- Oh, that's new. I know we should find a way out. The problem is how?
- I don't know, think about something beautiful that has happened to you.
In a few seconds, the darkness that surrounded the boy was gone.
- It worked. Now it's your turn.
Sid tried, but nothing... The darkness was taking her.
- Think about something nice or beautiful. Come on!
"Concentrate Sid! You know you can do it!"
It seemed like there was no more hope. But then Sid remembered her birthday. Her father, with a black suit was smiling at her, while her mum was cutting the birthday cake. Those were the most beautiful moments of her life. In a second the view changed and it was like her thoughts got confused. Sid opened her eyes. She was still alive. And a boy was standing next to her.
- Finally you woke up. You know, for a few minutes and you were almost gone.
It was the boy she met in the palace.
- What happened?!
- The darkness was taking you. I tried to pull you up but I don't think that it was me who saved you.
- If it wasn't you, who was then?
- I don't know. Maybe a happy memory in the last moment.
Sid felt really tired. She looked around. Nothing.
- Where's the palace? - asked surprised.
- I don't know. I don't have an answer for what happened. By the way, I'm Chris.
- Hi, my name's Sid.
- Nice name. So, how you got till here? I mean, what are you doing alone in a place like this?
- I'm trying to find something.
- What's that?
- The truth. I want to find out if my parents were killed or it was only an accident. But the way my parents died, didn't seemed accidental.
- I'm trying to find the killer of my family too, the one you saw at the palace.
- He was a were-wolf!
- Yes. So?
- They don't exist, do they?
- Oh, they do for sure.
- Well, maybe you're right. After what happened, I believe anything. Anyway, I want to thank you and ask you something.
- Shoot.
- Would you like to join my journey. We can help each-other.
- I don't see why not.
Sid and Chris continued their journey. Now they weren't alone. They were a group. And together they will make this thing more interesting.

- I really like it. It started off with a good prolouge. One thing you should of down was quotaion marks instead of lines. It would make the story look nicer and a bit less confusing. There were a few grammar mistakes so just remember you can look up the word on the internet or in a dictainory! Keep writing! 4/5!
