(flash back Reapers POV)

"But Father I don't want to goooo" I whined "Dances are so boring" My father sighed "Reaper You Know I cant leave You hear its expected For a prince to show Up to these sorts Of things" his deep voice was calm but stern My mother stepped In "Oh reaper Dear It will be over before You know it" she said soothingly pulling me In to a hug her The over whelming But comforting rose  scent of her washed over me she then proceeded to whisper "If you behave Ill take You for a walk around the castle with me tomorrow" My smile grew On my face "Really?!!" she nodded smiling "Now lets Go" she held her hand out to me and I eagerly took it "Shall we go?" she asked My father Placing her other hand around his arm "Yes we shall Its rude to be late" he smiled now at My mother and then at me The warm summer air was Humid as we stepped out in to the Night And Jumped In a servant helping me and My mother in, once My father got in the carriage began to go slowly I sat On my mothers lap and stared out the window with her The Moon was so bright making it almost seem day I leaned on her as she hummed to me.

This would be the last time that she could do this.

Because at this moment everything changed as Mine and My fathers world Was changed.

I opened My eyes as tears streamed down them "Mom?! Dad?!" I called Out Fear overwhelming me seeing the carriage was On fire As smoke stung at My eyes and the Hot flames creeping closer threatening to Burn me to ashes I franticly Looking around There was a opening! I crawled for it and rolled out Gasping at the clean air I kept crawling till I was at a safe distance from the carriage Then I saw My mother Lying lifelessly on the ground "Mom!" I was about to run to her then got pinned down I let out a cry of fear as I saw a masked man Standing over me They held My throat down "awe don't be so upset it will be over soon " the man cooed I started Hyperventilating as I struggled Kicking he pushed On my throat Making it hard to breath I felt as if my neck would snap  he raised His knife But I kicked again and landed a good hit on him he stepped back "Why You little!" I scrambled up running for My Mom and Looking around for My dad but I was sent back as pure pain overwhelmed my eye socket and I was forced to shut My eye as blood new streamed across it The man was about to attack again But My father Came out of nowhere and attacked killing him.

5 years later

The castle Was Dull and grey Just Like usual My 10th birthday was coming Up Its so boring I starred out the window Not much of a view Trees Blocked Most of it but I saw the sky was grey I guess It matched everyone's mood I suppose I heard the tell tale foot steps of a maid walking through "Young reaper sir?" I turned to show I was Listening My one eye I can see out of focusing On her "Your father asks to see you in his bed room" I nodded and walked to the room Knowing My father Is very sick I hate seeing him he looks so... Pitiful.

My steps echoed through the empty hall as I Stopped In front of a big dark oak door I knocked a weak "come in"  with a cough sounded . I stepped In smelling the foul smell of medicine always hated that smell Its like a doctors office "come hear boy" my father Whispered just Loud enough for me to hear I stepped Closer arms pressed to My side I stayed silent Ever since that day My father has lost His laugh and smile me I still have Mine But I rarely show it.

"yes father?" He coughed again His body shaking "I called you in hear to talk about the future." I stayed silent knowing what he was going to say he kept going "You and I both know iam Not getting any better," he paused "I just want to say If I pass On I know You will be a good ruler But promise Me something son." I nodded "When the day comes I pass please Keep this kingdom safe at all costs even if you have to give Your life." I stared at the ground and nodded.

The next morning My father passed and I was left alone.

No tears left My eye sockets as I stared at the grave on the hill next to My mother I stood alone I kept staring Until I had to blink I have no one I realized I tore My gaze from the graves And walked back down With a poker face to the even bleaker Castle The clouds Thundered In the distance A low rumble Barely Audible But still there My soul felt cold and all I could seem to feel was hollow I kept walking My foot steps Crunching On the twigs and some leaves that have started to fall I didn't feel pity for My self nor did I feel anger I felt Cold.

and that is how I lost three things in my life My mother my father and My smile.
