Prologue.
Have you ever loved somebody so much it hurt? To know that their happiness was your happiness, their sadness was yours? I have. It was great while it lasted..
The screams of horror woke me from a deep sleep, then a large booming noise. I sat straight up from my bed and looked out the window, a fire, looking like it came from the mines.
I gently pushed the blankets from me, my eyes wide with fear. I swing my feet over to the cold wooden floor of my bedroom and tip toed quietly over to the window, and pulled back the curtains and watched as my life slowly burned away.
Another scream brings me back to reality and I realize its from my house, I spin on my heel and run straight for the door and done the hall, my bare feet hitting the floor boards. I pause in front of the door, maybe this is all just a nightmare, a nightmare where I could wake up in the morning and everything will be back to normal. A small part of my brain reminded that this is reality.
My fingers gently turned the brass door handle and I open the door to my mothers room, shes laying there, but not asleep.
"Madge." She breathes and I rush over to her. "Run darling they're here, for you, they'll save you, get out of this house, it's a target." Her words were so quiet, so scarce, but I knew immediately something was wrong and I couldn't stay here.
"Come with me." I said with a single tear rolling down my cheek and she gave me a sad smile, her hand reached up to mine and stroked it as a mother would for a new born baby.
"You know I can't."
I shook my head and she nodded gently, another boom made my heart start to race.
"Go Madge, he'll save you." She didn't say a name, and she didn't have to, I knew who she was exactly talking about. "Go, now!"
I kissed her on the cheek and squeezed her hand before turning and running out of the door.
There was no time to find a sweater or even put on shoes, I ran straight out the door and realized that my father was missing, I turned back to look at my house but it was too late.
I heard a screeching noise and then my house erupted into flames, a blood curdling scream erupted from my throat as I watched the house, that my mother and possibly father could be now dying in, and I was outside, safe.
"MADGE" I hear a male cry out my name and I whip around.
He is standing there and I meet his grey eyes with my blue ones.
For a split second everything is alright and I believe that I might actually be safe, that is until the ground before me erupts and I am thrown backwards into a black abyss.
