Prologue: Seven Months Later
Hornet closed her book once she saw that Bo was asleep. His face seemed so angelic as he slept. Slowly she rose and stretched her arms out, walking over to her room.
Ida Spavento had been kind enough to let Hornet, Prosper, and Bo stay with her. They frequently saw Victor and Scipio, who were working together. They saw Mosca and Riccio less often, however, as they were living in Castello, where Mosca worked for a fisherman.
Hornet very much enjoyed the company of her new family, especially Prosper, who seemed to understand her completely, more than anyone else she had ever known, and she loved him for that. She loved him even more than she loved her own mother.
Yes, Hornet had a mother, one who was still alive, and a father, too. She was a runaway, just like Prosper and Bo. But her parents were much worse than their aunt.
Hornet yawned as she settled into her bed for the night, memories of her past clouding her mind as they always did before she slept. Some of the memories were joyful, but others brought pain, the ones of her real family. These were the memories she feared, and the characters in them were also the stars of her nightmares.
She did her best to block out all the anger and hate that had filled her early childhood and replace them with the memories of her new found life, her happy life. Hornet did manage to block out most of these memories, but eventually, sleep overcame her.
