"Quiet, baby! Don't say a word when the king and his new queen get here. Don't move or make a sound." My mom told me nervously as she tried to rock the twins to sleep. She was trying to hide me in a secret hiding place under the floor boards.

"Why do I have to hide every time the king and queen come here, mommy?" I had asked. My 6 year old brain didn't exactly understand why the king and queen were coming or why I had to hide while my newborn twin siblings didn't.

"Because Faith, your daddy was a human meaning you are half-human. The king doesn't like humans and he will take you as a slave if he finds out about you. I'm just trying to protect you baby." Mommy explained.

I was about to question her further when a loud knock came at the door. My mom put her index finger to her mouth telling me to keep quiet and put the floor boards back in place.  I could see my mom open the door through the cracks of the floorboards. The king walked in hand in hand with his wife. They both looked like they were about 25, yet they were hundreds of years old.  They were both beautiful people.

"Maria, how nice to see you, I trust that the bakery is doing well and that you have all of the month and last month's dues." King Mark told mommy.

"Of course you majesty, I thank you ever so much for the extension." She told him never looking him in the eyes. She handed him the money.

"Oh how adorable, they are twins, Mark! Look at how precious they are! May I hold one?" Queen Isabelle asked mommy excitedly.

"Why, of course, your majesty."  Mommy said as she handed Amiyah to Queen Isabelle.

"Oh honey, look how adorable she is. I've wanted another child, but as you know, once we get to a certain age, we can't have children anymore." I could see tears well up in the Queens eyes as she looked into my sisters eyes.

"What are their names?" The Queen asked.

"Tristan and Amaya. They are 2 months old." Mommy said proudly.

"And their father?" Mommy got a pained look in her eyes as the Queen mentioned the twins' dad.

"He was murdered 6 months ago by werewolves." The Queen looked at mommy with pity.

"Honey, we must get going." The king intervened clearly uncomfortable.

"But dear, I don't want to leave, I want to spend more time with these precious children. I want children!" The Queen pouted. I saw Mommy's eyes turn from sad to scared.

"Fine sweetie, we shall stop by the orphanage on the way home and adopt a child. Now we really must get going." The King said growing impatient.

Queen Isabelle only pouted more. "But I've already grown attached to these children, what if I don't share the same bond with those children as I shared with these?"

"Well you won't ever know unless you try Bella –Oh alright," King Mark sighed in defeat and turned to my mommy. "Well Maria, how much for the twins?"

"Your majesty, with all due respect, I am not selling my children!" My mom told him taken aback.

"Fine, sell one to us, your choice. You will be set up for life, you won't ever have to pay rent again, plus we will give you as much money as you need. "King Mark said clearly thinking he was going to get what he wanted.

"NO! They are NOT for sell! They are my children! MINE your majesty, now please understand this, I mean no disrespect but I will never give you my children." My mom went to grab Amaya from the queen but was against the wall within seconds. King Mark lifted mommy up by her neck.

"I'll give you one last chance Maria, I suggest you take it or die." King Mark yelled.

I saw mommy's fang come out as she struggled to get loose. Fear coursed through my body.

"ROT IN HELL! FAITH, I LOVE YOU TAKE CARE OF THE TWINS, BABYGIRL." And with that, King Mark snapped my mommy's neck and let the body fall to the floor and then grabbed the wooden broom near him, snapped it in half and shoved it into her heart. It all happened so fast.

"MOMMY NO!!" I screamed out pushing the wood up and crawled out of the space and ran to my mom tears running down my face. "Mommy, wake up please! Mommy I love you, I'll be good, please mommy wake up!"

"A hybrid? She has a mutt for a child? Disgusting! It's an abomination! KILL IT NOW!" The king ordered.

I scooted backwards as far as I could, until I hit the wall. "Please, no!" I begged for my life as he got closer, ready to rip my throat out.

"Honey, she is just a child. Let her live, she can help with the children, after all they are her siblings." The queen said stopping King Mark. His eyes gazed over me then he sighed.

"Fine, take her as a slave. Let's just get out of here."

And just that, everything I'd known for the last 6 years of my life was torn apart.
