Prologue
Fire. Fire and blood was all I could smell and taste. I remember standing in the doorway when it had happened. A burst of fire came through the window and before I knew it all I could see was darkness. The last thing I could see was glass shards flying towards my eyes, and then feeling pain. I remember feeling light on my skin and heard voices all around me. All the noises were not just normal ones. It sounded like I was in a hospital. I tried to open my eyes but the pain was unbearable. My eyes burned and felt wet.
I didn't understand what was going on and I was afraid. I could hear familiar voices as well but they weren't as loud. They sounded at a distance, where as they unfamiliar voices were very close. I tried to speak by my throat was dry and I had something on my mouth. I could feel a bright light on my face and could feel someone towering above me.
I could smell their breath and what shampoo they had used. It felt weird to me but at the same time it was the only thing I could do. I couldn't see at all and it terrified me. I wanted to open my eyes but it was painful. I didn't know why I could hear and smell everything around me.
What the heck was going on! I couldn't even begin to think of what was happening. It was all too terrifying. I wanted it to end and soon it did. I felt myself getting drowsy and before I knew it I was asleep.
