Hi, My name is Vanessa Abbott, and I'm falling from 30,000 feet in the air while wearing a suit that you would normally see at a cosplay convention. How did I get here? Well, it's a rather long story that involves my mother getting kidnapped, meeting a superhero, and learning how to run REALLY fast. But let's slow down a bit.

Like I said, I'm Vanessa Abbott and I'm about 15 years old. (A/N I'll explain why she doesn't know how old she is later) I'm 5'6" with a pretty slim figure. I did track every day after school so I'm fairly fit. I have long blonde hair and a fair complexion. I look pretty normal at first glance, just your average highschool student. But I'm not what I look like.

After school I would come home to what should be a normal family, except it wasn't. My life had been going great up until I was 12 years old. Me and my little brother Jason got along great, my parent loved each other and us more then anything and we had a pretty good amount of money. Then my father was diagnosed with leukemia.

My father's health slowly got worse, and as it detoriated my mom sunk into a state of depression. She went to a therapist who gave her some pills that she became dependent on. She could barely get through the day without her medicine. So with my father in the hospital and my mother not moving from her bed I took over as head of the house.

We were living off of the money my parents had saved up as well as donations from people through the internet. But because of this we had to move from our large house in a nice neighborhood to a tiny apartment in a complex where finding someone passed out in the hallway was a normal occurrence. We lived like this until I was 14 years old. That's when my life tuned upside down.

Aaaand there's chapter one!! I hope you all enjoyed it. I before I end though, I want to talk a bit about something. I just want to say that I talk about things like luekemia and drugs. These are kind of touchy subjects and I might have made some mistakes while talking about them, so I'm sorry about that. I don't mean to offend anyone looking, so go ahead and correct me if you see any mistakes. So yeah, serious stuff over. Thanks for reading! Don't forget to favorite and stuff. Stay tuned!
