Authors Notes:I know this isnt exactly about the books written by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, but it was Shattered Mirror that inpired me to write this. Please let me know what you think because if no one likes this then i will not bother to post chapter 1. Thank you.
Prologue
It felt like her chest was going to explode, her feet pushing up handfuls of dirt as she ran as fast as she could through the forest. She heard her pursuers laughter echo against the numerous trees. She decided to take a quick glance behind her to see if the person following her was close enough to be seen through the seemingly endless darkness. It was a bad decision. Her foot caught a root growing out of the ground and she fell head first into a pile of dog crap . . . better the large rock that lay just inches to her left. She tried to get up when a sharp pain, situated around the ankle that had caught the root, pulled her back to the ground. She looked down and noticed that her right foot, as opposed to her left foot which was pointing outwards, was still planted flatly on the ground. Severely broken. At the speed she was going she was surprised that it didn't get ripped right off, at least then she could keep running. She tried to pull her foot free from the tight grip of the root . . . but failed because the pain was stronger then her adrenaline. She heard footsteps getting closer from behind her. She started to sob uncontrollably and found herself praying to a God she didn't even believe in. She then started hearing footsteps coming from in front of her also. "More of them?"she thought to herself. She saw a faint figure appear out of the darkness in front of her along with a smell she found difficult to distinguish. "Garlic?" It was at that time that she decided to faint.
