Prologue

I'm so high. I can hear heaven.
I'm so high. I can hear heaven.
Oh but heaven, no heaven don't hear me.

"Do you believe in heroes, Jack?" Jack Mercer looked at the young girl, his sister, who stood beside him. It was nearly time for them to be getting home, the street light were turning on, but she wouldn't move. She was staring up at the night sky, as stars began to appear one by one.

"Depends." Jack shrugged, "Bobby says there's no such thing but Ma says there is." The girl frowned at his response and turned to him.

"What do you believe?" She pressed and he looked away from her, up at the night sky. They should really be getting home. It got dangerous after dark, really dangerous.

"I believe...in being my own hero." He breathed and she smiled as she grabbed his hand and they began running home. When they got there, their mom was waiting for them at the door. She scolded them for being late as they hurried inside the house. Later that night, Jack found her staring out at the stars again. She smiled at him as he came and stood by her side. Absentmindedly, she took his hand and held it.

"I want to be a hero, Jackie. Do you think I can do it?" She whispered, her eyes gazing into his.

Jack nodded before letting go of her hand and walking back to his room. She fell into step behind him and they curled up under the covers, her head laying on his chest. As she drifted off to sleep, she promised him that she'd be a hero, no matter what. And he believed her as his own his eyes closed.

No one ever said being a hero was easy, though.

So that's the prologue. What do you think? Don't worry if you're confused, all will be revealed. Anyways, review and give me feedback. I thrive off of it.
