A/N:  This story is not completed or almost completed, like some of the others I post, so it may take me a while to think of a decent plot.  I have ideas in my head, but I'm still contemplating. 

I have more after this prologue written already.

This story is going to be fairly violent… but not seriously violent.  Just a lot of beating up and stuff like that.  I don't do REALLY violent stuff, but this may be the worst violence I've written so far.  There's no profanity (mild, stuff, you know), because I don't do profanity. 

We all love to torture our favorite characters (well, most of us, anyway).  This story was written (mainly) about Sodapop, mostly for my own enjoyment. 
This story has a more complicated plot than some of my stories.  I'm not sure where I'm going with it yet.  I just thought I'd let you know that.  

Reviews are appreciated, but please understand my updates may be extremely slow because I am working on so many stories at the same time, as well as the fact that I have writing "moods" for different fan fiction stories. I'm a freshman in high school but taking quite a few honors and sophomore classes. 

Well, without further ado…

The Scars Run Deep

(Prologue)

*Darry*

It's been three days since the disappearance.  Every day I wait for the news that he has been found, and every day I search on my own.  But we cannot find him.  These sleepless nights are catching up to me.  Silently I cry myself to sleep, unable to keep up the false front when no one is there to watch.  It seems that when I do sleep, my rest is awakened by nightmares of what they could be doing to him, either my own or the nightmares of my brother.  I vowed I would find him.  I vowed I would hold him in my arms again and let him know that I really did love him.  But now, I am afraid I will never get the chance.     

A/N:  Interesting?  Engaging?  Waiting for the next chapter? ;-)
