CHAPTER 1
Cassidy had enough. She marched up the stairs away from her arguing parents and stooped down to look under her bed. There it was, still in its place from where she left it, her emergency survival backpack. In it was everything she needed to survive for a couple days away from home. A change of clothes, water bottles, dried foods, and emergency female supplies were all stashed neatly in the bag. She threw on a hoodie, tied her shoes, and snuck out the door while her parents were preoccupied with their latest argument.
As soon as she stepped outside and shut the door, she felt a wave of relief rush over her. It was so different being away from the constant bickering and fighting that took place in her home and without the constant stress of what was going to happen, she felt at peace. But Cassidy knew what she needed to do. Her parents always ignored her and they would have never noticed her strange behavior. If anyone ever did notice they would probably say something along the lines of, "no one your age should feel like that" or "you'll get over it soon". No one knew that Cassidy had been struggling for a long time and that she was planning to end it all. Being 13 was tough, especially with her parents' constant fighting. At least she could finally be freed.
Ahead was the towering Mt. Ebott, with a grand tale to follow. Long ago, humans and monsters had a war. The humans found the monsters to be potentially dangerous and were determined to save humanity. The monsters fought back, but all around the battlefield were the dusty remains of fallen monsters. Eventually the monsters retreated into Mt. Ebott and the humans sealed the monsters in there with the power from 7 wizards. The couldn't escape and humanity was finally saved. It was so unfair! They were just trying to live normal lives among humans and they were attacked for it. Now, legend says those who climb the mountain never return, and Cassidy planned to do just that. She began the journey up the mountain.
She made her way around branches and logs and streams, DETERMINED to reach the top. She stopped to catch her breath, examining cuts and bruises from the journey so far. As soon as she felt she could walk again, she hopped up and gathered herself. It began to grow dark so she settled in for the night. Hugging herself close in her hoodie, she wondered if her parents noticed her presence missing.
She woke with a start and shook off last night's dream. The sun had begun to rise and she had to get going. No sense in wasting time before she changed her mind. After several hours of climbing, the peak was approaching. Instead of a tip, Mt. Ebott had a gaping hole that went at least 100 stories down into the monsters catacombs. She walked a full circle around this hole until she had made up her mind. Closing her eyes, she leaped into the abyss below her.
