Prologue
I felt empty inside. So empty I couldn't think or feel a thing and worst of all I was surrounded by darkness.
Two tall figures appeared before me, I immediately recognised them as my mother and father.
I screamed hoping they would hear me.
The two figures started walking away from me, walking away to some man that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
I ran towards them, telling them to stop and come back.
They looked back with puzzled expressions and continued walking.
The man was smirking, laughing one of those evil laughs you hear in horror movies.
And then...I don't know.
The familiar plain ceiling above my bed stared back at my blank eyes. My left arm was reaching out just like it was in my dream and I slapped myself hard.
The dream was too real but I knew it wasn't too far from the life I had.
My childhood was a mess:
My father left 3 years ago to whom knows where and probably still out there living-
My mother suffered from the shock and now lives her life in hospital-
And me? I live alone now in a shabby apartment living a life of a 13 year old with no parents to welcome me home, cook food for me and pay the electrical bills.
After assuming that a strange thumping noise on my door was Fine, I swung the door open and see the red haired girl dressed up neatly for school.
Oh don't get me wrong, we don't go to the same school, yet I have no idea why she comes to pick me up.
"Hurry up!" she cries, grabbing my hand.
