It's been ten years since everything happened. Ten years ago my heart was ripped out of my chest. Ten years ago a part of me was taken and I changed. The worst part is I haven't aged a single goddamned day. If you looked at me I could still be that girl, I looked the same except I now where a scowl on my face instead of a smile.
Its been ten years since the Leech "Royals" came and threatened our existence and five years since I decided to skip town and be on my own for a while. Except it's hard to be alone when you have you have four guys in your head constantly reminding you of the life you were trying to escape.
I remember the first year I was gone was the worst, it was so hard to get them to understand that I just wanted to be alone, that I had to do my own thing. I knew they meant well but I didn't want to hear about how everyone was doing or about how much mom missed me, I had my own things to deal with.
I had to get careful when I phased making sure no one else was around to invade my head with their thoughts or worse for them to hear my thoughts. Over the years I had gotten pretty good at censoring my thoughts and never letting them in completely but I still didn't want to take any chances.
At this point though its not like they really cared though, except maybe Seth. But I knew what they thought of me it's one of the reasons I left too. I just couldn't take it any more, they either pitied me or hated me and neither of those options rubbed me the right way. So I left, I spent five years on the road looking for Happiness.
