Chapter One
Aliyah was talking to her brother when it happened. Her mother, Leila Hafiz was cooking pakoras in the kitchen when someone knocked down her door. Khalid, Aliyah’s older brother whom she loved very much, turned to her and said,

”We should hide. We don’t know who it is,” he said.

”But what if they’re going to hurt Ammi?” Aliyah asked.

Khalid looked at her gravely.

”We’ll just have to hope they don’t.”

Aliyah and Khalid hid behind the stairs. They could see several men approach their mom. Their mothere was aware of them just long enough to see them knock her out.

Aliyah gasped, tears running down her face and unto her hijab. Unfortunately, this gave away Khalid and Aliyah’s hiding spot.

one of the men, who had been on the side, looked at them.

”There’s kids over there!” He hollered.

”show yourselves!” One with blond hair called out.

Reluctantly, Khalid and Aliyah stepped out.

”Did you... kill her?” Aliyah asked.

”No, we didn’t.” The blond man said.

”what do you want with us?” Khalid asked.

”You’re elves and we’re taking you to the Lost Cities.”
