Preface There was a beautiful women running away with a man. She carried a baby…. A mob was chasing them…… I felt the urge to scream. I was scared, why was I scared? A swirling vortex, the darkest shade of violet I've ever seen, opened in front of them. They jumped in with the mob following. The man yelled to the women, to take the baby somewhere safe, while he faced the mob. She found an orphanage, and left the cold defenseless child. I trembled as I watched. She ran back to the man, where was he? There! The mobs leader….. he, he, turned him to stone! She looked frightened. Her legs took her away. She ran as fast as she could, but she wasn't quick enough. "Your not going anywhere." He called out, and was right in front of her, so she ran the other way. It was a bad idea, she ended up at a dead end. "Why do you waste your time with that fool?" She spoke up, her voice was, well, I can't put the right words, but it was beautiful as she was. "I'd rather be with that foolthen you!" She said it so coldly. "You will pay! If you won't be with me, I'll let you join that idiot!" An evil smile began to curve on his smug face. He turned her to stone too! I wanted to punch him so bad, but I was to far away. "Look for the child. It will make a great addition to my stone collection!" They searched and they searched, but they never found her. I was relived to know the little creature would not be hurt. As they were leaving… "I can sense she is alive, we will search for her one day. Yes one day! I trembled, what's going on? Who is he? What does he want with those innocent people? I walked into the orphanage and looked down at the the little baby girl. "There, there." I soothed her, knowing she couldn't understand. "Everything will be okay." I worried. What about that "one day?" What will happen then? I believed in my dreams, real or not. I wanted to take this child and keep her safe, but how? I wanted to be the hero here. I wish I could escape the real world. Visit my dreams in real life. As real as it seemed, I knew I was asleep. I walked out of the room the man was looking at me. "Ahhh!" I looked at my life flash before me. My name is Joanne Evans, I'm a sixteen year old, I've been adopted by Sarah and David Evans, I have an adopted sister named Ally. We all have had such a great time together living in Illinois. That's where I was born, and where I was about to die…
