Preface

She sits on her bed in silence. She stares at her white wall in her colorless white room. Her hair is a deep brown and her eyes are en electric green. She wears a simple long purple dress with string straps. Her eyes have a glaze over them, as if she was dead though she is very much alive. She hasn't talked to anyone in eight years and hasn't been out in the sun the same amount of time. Her skin is a pale pasty white, like a doll. Infact that's what her older sister thought of her; an easily breakable doll who stands around all day, only good for display.

A part of a song plays in her head over and over.

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.

Her fears keep her in her room. She fears she'll face her older brother if she goes outside and he'll kill everyone. He was, in fact, a monster after all. One that will stop at nothing to find her. He will kill anyone in his way. He is a sin.

She fears if she finds her brother, she'll get knocked down and won't be able to stop him or save innocent people. No one knows about him. Only her mother and father know and they're both dead.

Her name is Sofia Annaline (an-a-lin) Rockbell. And her adventure is fixing to start. It all begins with a shrimp, armor, a wrench, and an unwanted guest.
