Prologue
Her face. So serene, so peaceful, so pure. Her smile lifted his heart, made his past, his pains and suffering disappear. Her long black hair, gleaming in the sun's rays. But as he reached for her, she would always move back. Yet that smile still played across her face. He reached, as far as he could, fingers out-stretched, but she was always that far away. Until slowly, she faded away, to be replaced by nothing, an emptiness in his heart, his soul, his very being. No, it was not emptiness. There was something else, something sinister. In the darkness, 2 crimson eyes opened and a wide leering mouth yearned for more suffering …
His eyes flickered open, cold sweat beaded his face. He breathed in short gasps.
"I have to find her."
