PROLOGUE
"We can fight our desires,
But when we stop making violence"
In for the kill- La ROUX
I looked into her hazel eyes; they were alight with the emotion behind her words, framed by smudged mascara and eyeliner.
Her stare was fierce as she kneeled on the ground before me, looking into my blank and unfeeling gaze, trying to convey the intensity and truth behind her words as she spoke of her lost future and showed her despair as the vulnerable person she now was, a shell of the women who I had come to know, her once admirable confidence and pride now her worst enemy.
"YOU RUINED ME. YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!"
Her soft soprano voice now shook with force as she screeched at me, her voice echoing around us, cracking several times. She let out a guttural cry of anguish as she gripped her strawberry blonde hair by the roots and buried her tear stained face between her knees, rocking back and forth in the half-dark.
I stood above her, emotionless. I wasn't going to let her influence me again, without knowing she had taught me how to keep my emotions in check and remain expressionless in excruciating times of pain. But today I didn't even have to try, she no longer had the effect on me she once did, now I was the strong to her inferior and she was the weak to my powerful.
Her cries became louder, if that was possible.
I wonder if anyone can hear her.
A part of me took full responsibility for the turn her life had made in the past year, though guilt wasn't what I was feeling, I was proud. Proud that I had managed to bring this brutal girl to her knees, down to reality, a place that she doesn't seem to be all that familiar with. It was time she opened her eyes properly, took off those rose coloured ray bans and realised that not everybody has a life of privilege and good fortune.
And now she was one of them.
How the tables could turn in such a small amount of time.
This small amount of time is a time she will remember though. For over this time she had learnt the most important lesson of all, one that she will never forget, for every detail was ingrained into her memory for the rest of her life, and hopefully she will use it to her advantage in the future to not make that same mistake twice.
Though she won't see what happened today as an advantage for a long time yet. For the storm gets worst before it gets better and this is just the beginning.
Our gazes locked again. Hazel met brown. Everything she wanted to say that she couldn't find words for was expressed in that single glance and I knew that she would be ok because she was who she was, and her being her, she would turn this around and would rise again, back towards the top, because now she had the motivation to get their and experience to make it happen.
And I admit, even with the tainted black tear tracks running down her face, ghostly complexion and broken expression she was still beautiful.
That's one thing I will never be able to take away from Tanya Denali.
I spun on my heel, heading towards the faint green glow of the exit sign.
The steady rhythm of my heels clicking against the hardwood floors echoing around us.
"ONE DAY THIS WILL BE YOU!"
She screamed after my retreating figure, hopelessly trying to make me fear my future as she now did.
I stopped mid stride, letting a shrill laugh surpass my lips. But as I slowly turned to face towards her my face held no trace of humour.
"You're wrong Tanya. You always have been." My voice was even and toneless.
I reached the door and pushed it open, letting it close behind me with a final "Slam!"
And I knew I would never land up like Tanya. For I had grown up with her, watched her become the Queen of the reasons I hated high school so vehemently, and make the fall from her throne of perfect boyfriends and 4.0 GPA's, to the person I once was, the person nobody saw.
Invisible.
No. That would never be me again. That would never be Bella Swan.
So what do you think? Yay or Nay? Continue?
I don't really know where I'm going with this but I do have a few ideas, if you
would like to share your suggestions that would be appreciated =)
This chapter was short but future chapters will be much longer.
