Hi! This is my first story, and I'm really excited to share it with everyone! Check back in a couple of days for an update, this is just the prologue!
Prologue
It wasn't that I minded dying. I contemplated, as my head started spinning and my knees gave way, there were, in fact, probably worse things than dying in my mother's arms. Maybe she wasn't my mother – the hands that caught me were smoother than they would be, the voice that rang through my ears was softer than I remembered – but she was there, and the last thing I saw were her eyes, spilling with tears as she kissed me goodbye.
