Okay, so this is a new addition to Full Moon - I just had an idea to give the story an prologue... I may also add an epilogue to lead it onto it's sequel Last Quarter :)
Anyway! Hope you enjoy the story!
Prologue
To be brave, you must have been a coward.
To be predator, you must have been the prey.
To be smart, you must have been stupid.
To be the best, you must have been the worst.
To be loved, you must have been hated...
If someone had told me a year ago, everything that would happen during the course of the next year - I would have had them locked up in an asylum. I have faced many things; life, death, hate, revenge, but the one thing that helped demolish the bad - I've faced pure, powerful, undying love. It was the power of this love that I never thought I'd feel in my eternal life and it is a love that I can never let go... Even if I tried.
Time changes a lot of things and sometimes things turn out in ways you could never expect. You gain things, you learn things, you lose things, you earn things and so on.
However, learning my lesson is something that rarely occurs with me. I rarely ever learn from my mistakes, I just tend to attack the problem again and hope for the best. As I lie in darkness, miles away from home, I realise how, no matter how stupid the decisions I've made in the past few months have been - I can't bring myself to regret everything. Although I may have completely screwed everything up... I may even be speaking as a deceased narrator now. But I know that everything I did helped to make me a stronger, wiser and thicker skinned person.
I'm still fighting, though. I'm fighting to wake up, I'm fighting to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Sure, I may have had some pretty rough things happen to me over the past year - but there's no doubting it's been the best year of my life, so far. And it's those good memories that I'm fighting to keep alive and to hold onto them, hold on to him. Jacob...
Hope this encouraged you to read on!
