Some scars never fade
Some scars will never fade. Some of them will always be ugly. Sometimes, they're not even a lesson from the past. They're just a reminder of what you've been through- and proof of the strength you still possess.
disclaimer: Seriously, I don't get this, the site is called FANFICTION is there really anybody out there dumb enough to actually think this was my own idea? Well, anyway, just to be sure, it's not my idea. I don't own the victorious character's.
Chapter 1. –Ghosts of our fears
Bad dreams are ghosts of our fears and worries, haunting us while we sleep.
~Maria V. Snyder
Jade's POV
I laid back my head, and closed my eyes, enjoying the pure silence. A lot of people didn't like the loneliness of being home alone, but I loved it. My mom wasn't going to be home for quite some time, which I didn't mind at all. I really needed the peace and quiet from time to time.
I couldn't have been more annoyed by the sound of the doorbell. For a moment I was considering not to open it, but then again, it was probably just the mailman or something. I sighed as I stood up, and went to the door.
This had better not take too long.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the door. My first reaction was to slam the door in his face, but his hand was holding it against. I wanted to scream, but I didn't make a sound. After all these years he still had that effect on me. It was like I was nailed to the ground.
Why? Why was he here, what did he want? Don't act stupid; I knew perfectly well what he wanted. I had always known that. But how? How did he find me? It didn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore. He was here now. And I, was going to die.
I felt a shiver down my backbone as I heard his voice. "Hello Jade."
...
I was sitting in the car. Tied up, with a blindfold for my eyes. I didn't understand just why I hadn't fought him more. I, Jade West, hadn't done a single thing to stop my kidnapper from taking me. I just, let him.
Maybe because, it was no surprise. I had always known he would come back. I didn't know when, but I had always been sure he would. And I had always been sure there would be nothing at all I could do to stop him.
Mom always promised me she wouldn't let him. She would keep him away from me, protect me from him. But no matter how much I loved and trusted my mom, I hadn't believed her. She couldn't stop him before either.
This was just too much. Unreal. Unreal… What if this really wasn't happening? I hoped it was only a bad dream, like all the other ones I had had, about just this. Maybe I was in my bed right now, maybe I wasn't in danger at all. But something told me, that this time, it wasn't a dream. That this time, it was all for real, and I really was in danger.
Something told me, this nightmare was finally coming true.
Okay, this is my very first fanfic! I hope there are some souls out there who are going to read this and, maybe, even enjoy it. ;)
