Prologue
Michelle stood mesmerized in the destruction of the fire, staring at the rubble that was once their home. The sound of wood crunching under the firemens' feet snapped Michelle out of her dream-like state. She couldn't comprehend the fact that only seconds ago, she had been sitting down for dinner. Now all that was left were ashes. Cold, black, ashes.
Chapter 1
As Michelle lay in bed, she glanced around the stark bedroom of her father's house. Her parents had divorced when she was 2 years old, and she had never really gotten to know her father. They only saw eachother once every year, on her birthday. On Christmas she would only receive packages sent by mail, even though her dad only lived 20 minutes away.
Since the fire, the whole family had been living in her father's house, a large Victorian mansion.
