This story has been mulling around in my head for ages now. It was time to write it up.

Prologue: The Runaway
Alice Gale tried to avoid eye contact as she walked down the busy New York street toward Central Park. She had decided to sleep there. She looked around, trying to see if anyone had noticed her. She looked down past her black dress, that her father had been making her wear for a year and a half ever since her mother had died, and to the black shoes that were taking her even further away from him. "Sure", she thought, "He can make me do the washing up, the laundry, the mending, the cleaning and the gardening, but he cannot hit me. I will not tolerate violence." Alice got to Central Park and started looking up into the trees to find a suitable one to sleep in. She walked over to one that looked like it would be big enough for several people. She lay down at the foot of the tree, preferring that to sleeping in it. Even if someone came along they wouldn't see her, no one ever did.
Yes its short most prologues are. No one ever notices her because she is a sort of half albino; she has silver hair pale skin and grey eyes. She is easy to overlook. Review or don't complain later when it's not what you want.
