I clutched at my forehead until my knuckles turned white. I kneeled on the worn rug, pulling at the matted strands of my hair. My fingernails digging into my scalp. The salted tears running down my skin.

And then I did something I shouldn't've done.

I looked in the mirror.

White skin.

Red eyes.

Clear tears.

And I saw something I hated.

I saw a monster.


A/N: Hello! I think this is a quick prequel to the prologue? Kind of a poem thing? I'm not really sure what this is, but I just need to clarify that this character is 100% human. I'm actually being very serious about this fanfic and drafting and drafting and drafting wherever I go, so I hope this one goes alright.
