Paper Doll Logic
Summary: Spenser Academy welcomes the financially-challenged Astrid Thomas, and upon first inspection, she's an average soul. Yet, following further scrutiny, she's hiding a dark past, and an even darker secret. Tyler/OC
Authors Note: So I rewatched the Covenant today, one of the perks of breaking your foot XD Anyways, eventually, this story eased its way into my conscience, so here I am tapping away. I decided I may as well put up this, see how it runs. I may as well declare that I own nothing beside Astrid, she's my own work of art. So without further ado, I present you with--
Paper Doll Logic
Prelude
They'd always warned me that I'd end up like this...I just never considered that they'd be right.
I wrinkled my nose, sliding my scuffed toes against the bridge railing. I glanced up. Only few things were visible in this dim dusk; the water below, churning restlessly; the fireflies that dotted the air around me like beacons of false hope; and the moon above, illuminating little of the night.
It had to be past two by now. Happy birthday tough guy.
My cheeks stung as the wind whipped against me, adding to my faltering balance. The tear tracks that stained my face hardened in the icy cold.
I should have been running. In fact, I should have been on the other side of the country by now. But no, I was paralysed. My feet were rooted to this very spot. They, those who had created this entire problem in the first place...they were coming. They were coming to kill me. I should have been preparing, doing what I'd been brought up doing...Not standing here in mourning. I should have been using what he taught me to do.
Yet, despite all of this, all that ran through my head was something that he had told me months ago. Sometimes the ones you love, the ones you thought you could trust, will turn around and stab you right in the heart.
I had stabbed him in the heart, with no warning. A jagged piece of glass had slowly slid into his chest as I'd walked away. How was I supposed to live with that? Then it finally dawned on me. I wasn't. A single tear slid down my face as I leant forward and fell.
End Note: So that was the Prologue, and don't worry, that's no where as long as the chapters will be. I hoped you enjoyed it, and you'll take your type to rate and give feedback and reviews.
