The True Meaning
Prologue; The Breath of Lies
was a cold winter night as twenty-three year old Rose Thorn walked through the newly fallen snow. It was a beautiful winter night, the sky was a dark shade of purple, and the wind was slightly blowing, making the fallen snow float about a bit before they softly hit the ground. Rose let a sigh escape from her pale colored lips as she walked, listening to the crunching of the snow beneath her boots. She wondered if she was ever going to escape this place; if she could go home, and see her real family. Ever since that night when she was with Jake, Trixie and Spud, in the dream realm, and she saw that she had been taken from her family, she'd doubted her loyalties to the huntsclan, but, what ever her plan was, she couldn't do it now. They had been watching her. They always had, but, ever since she had gotten out of school, she had been watched even closer. She could always seen members of the huntsclan around, looking like ordinary people, doing ordinary things, but she knew other wise. It was pure luck that she had been walking down the alley way, with out a single other huntsperson following her, but she knew they had ways of finding out. She had no where to go. She couldn't go to the school, a place where she once felt safe, but now just felt as if she had been another ghost of her past. She couldn't go home. No, that was the least safe spot for her right now. She couldn't go to the old antic shop. That had been shut down years and years ago, when Jake's grandfather had died. Jake. A word that didn't pop into her head very often, but when it did, things started going wrong, so it was best that she not think about it, but what harm could it do while Rose was walking in the snow?
"I miss you so much"
Those were the first words that had came out of her mouth all day, and she was saying them to a figure that had probably gone a hundred miles, at least, to get away from her and the people she once called family. She couldn't call them family any more. She couldn't call them that since she figured out she was kidnapped when she was just born. Oh how she wished she knew where they were now. He parents and her sister. Did she have any more little siblings? Cousin, aunts and uncles perhaps? Had she met any of them, but didn't know who they were? Oh how she wished she knew.
Rose slowly stopped walking; realizing that she had led herself to an alley way, and let the gentle breeze hit her face. Something was not right. She could feel it in her bones. The wind, it was trying to tell her to go hide. But where? Rose looked around, and all she saw was trashcans and dumpsters. Before anything else was done, Rose heard footsteps. She turned around, and saw shadows behind her. She ran. She didn't know who those people were, but she didn't want to find out. "There she is," she heard a voice from behind her say. "Get her," another voice screamed. Now it had confirmed what she had most feared of. She continued to run. Run as fast as she could. She didn't know where to run though. No where was safe for her now. "Huntsgirl, you can't run forever!" That was true. Rose couldn't run forever. She knew she was going to lose. he knew she was going to lose the battle, but there was still hope. She continued running, but tripped over a rock, and fell on the ground, hitting her head hard. She tried to get up, but her body was in pain, and she just couldn't do it, so she lay there, silently praying that she wished everything would be okay, when she felt someone -- or something -- lift her body. Was it by someone who wanted to help? No, Rose could tell it was one of them. She had failed the hunstclan, she had failed Jake, and she had failed herself. Who else was left for the young girl to hope for? "Good-bye, Huntsgirl," was the last thing Rose heard, before she felt something in her mouth, and she became unconscious.
