prologue

janine woke up suddenly, panting and sweating. she found it hard to

eath. she knew something was wrong and she didn't like it.

"i

aham!" janine was shaking her husband awake. she was getting really worried.

"yes?" he grumbled as he began to wake. he turned so he could see his frantic wife, the love of his life.

"something's wrong." she said and he sat right up, awake and on alert. "rose." she gasped and ran out of the room, her silk night gown trailing after her, abe in toe, and guards behind.

she ran to her eleven month old daughter's room and flung the door open. there was a dark figure in black, climbing out of the window, with another small bundle in their arms.

she looked over to her daughters crib, the nurse was lying on the chair, asleep. janine was seeing red, but when she realised her baby wasn't in her crib, she screamed and ran to the window, as the figure climbed down.

she was pulled in from the back, by strong hands and was being em

aced. she was crying. the guards were going frantic, and it wasn't until the nurse was nudged, that she woke up. janine was going to yell, but she didn't have the energy. she could only think of her poor baby, alone, and not old enough to even realize who her mother was. and on her birthday! she was going to be one today.

janine was being stroked at the hair and her eyes were red and puffy, by her husband.

"your highness, we'll find whoever did this."
