Prologue!.
Their eyes burned into my face, my back as I walked the thin rope of life!. As I kept walking the clammy air hit my face!. It was too late to turn back and run from this fear!. Torture or gallows waited for me, and both meant death!. As I walked on, his words echoed in my head “Elizabeth, take this- it's a key and a letter!. It must be delivered to Victoria Wilson!. This is a manner of life or death!” Suddenly, the sweet darkness consumed me, and there was no more!.

I was sitting in the chair going over the birthday plans for my 17h birthday!. I would have a public dinner and a ball!. In two days I will be 17 years old!. I sit there day dreaming about how my life is going to be!.
I was suddenly erupted from my daydream!. “Elizabeth!?” Father called for me!. “ Can you please come here!?”
I got up from my chair and walked out side to the garden were my father stands!. An angry mob stands in front of our mansion!.
“Hand her over,” a tall bald guy hissed at my father!.
“Never!”my father hissed back at the angry mob!.
“ Than you must pay for not handing her over!” Another guy yelled at my father raising a gun up to my father!. Than another guy raised a gun at me!.
“Elizabeth run!” my father shouted at me in a cry!.
I took off running into a closet in the house!. Than I heard a bang! Tears started to gush down my face knowing my father is in the garden dying of a bullet!. Footsteps appeared walking swiftly against the floor!.
“Elizabeth come out, come out were ever you are,” the stranger called out!.
A couple of bangs started to hit walls!. Than the closet door opened!. The tall guy with a bald head grabbed me and threw me up against a wall!. He took his hand and put it to my throat, holding me with a force so I won't escape!.
“You must die! You are a danger to everyone!” The guy said to me in a angry whisper!.
“Let go of me!” I shouted and than kicked the guy in the shin!. I took off running out of the house!. I ran until I was to my best friend Alice's house!. I knocked on the door while looking around to see if I lost those horrible guys!. The Disraeli family's maid Ms Carter opened the door with a smile!.
“Oh Ms Elizabeth what a grand to see you,” Alice said walking down the stairs than taking a bow!.
“Hello Ms Alice, may I come in!?” I said quickly than taking a bow!.
“Why yes, you may; Mademoiselle Carter can you get us some tea!.” Alice demanded!.
“Coming up Mademoiselle Disraeli!.” Ms Carter said while bowing at her mistress!.
“So what brings you here Lizzy!?” Alice asked me with a wrinkle between her eyebrows!.
“I'm in danger, they killed my father!.” I whispered that broke at the end!.
“What do you mean Lizzy!?” Alice asked very confused!.
“ These people!.!. well you can say more like a angry mob!.!.wanted me dead!.!. father said no!.!.and than this tall bald guy with bright blue eyes!.!.shot my father!.” I whispered to Alice with tears threating to spill out of my eye lids!.
“Nonsense Elizabeth tell me the truth!” Alice demanded!.
“It's the truth Alice! Why would I make something up!?” I demanded with tears still spilling out of my eye lids!.
“Hm!.!. I don't know maybe for!.!.attention!” Alice shouted!.
“ It's not for attention Alice! Why don't you believe me!?” I mouthed back!.
“Because it sounds silly and give me one good reason why they are after you than I will believe you!.” Alice said in a calm tone!.
“I!.!.I!.!.don't have any reason but this tall bald headed guy said I was a danger to everyone!.”
“And how are you a danger!?” Alice said in a slow voice!.
“I don't know Alice it is just all to weird!.”
“Elizabeth I think you are imagining this or you had a bad nightmare!.” Alice said rolling her eyes!.
“I wasn't imagining this or having a bad nightmare, it was real Alice!” I cried!.
“Elizabeth it's getting pretty late I think you should get going!.” Alice said in a rush!.

We kept all the doors, and windows locked so none of my fathers murders will get in to kill me or my family members dead!.
“Mademoiselle Gladstone do you need any more blankets!?” Ms Cooper our maid asked me!.
“No I'm fine!.” I said looking up from my book!.
