This is my first fanfic so I would love constructive criticism, let me know how the it sounds!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of Tamora Pierce's characters, only those created by my own wild imagination.
Prologue: Whispers
Whispers.
They follow me wherever I go.
They haunt me, night and day.
They hound me down the halls, snapping at my heels.
Pulling at my clothes, yanking on my braids, suffocating me with their malicious intent
Reminding me day after day my worthless and degenerate existence.
But no more
I will no longer be victim to them.
I will no longer cower in their presence, folding into myself so as to protect my center.
I will raise my head high, banishing the fear which has paralyzed me for so long.
They made me believe I was nothing.
Now, I will make them nothing.
I have found my purpose.
I have found my truth.
I have found myself.
