THOUGHTLESS is a dark tale of redemption and is about a girl who is cursed to walk the earth deaf, blind, and mute unless she can meet someone and see past their surface. She couldn't tell anyone what was wrong; and banished herself to a small forest outside of town, waiting to die. What she did not know was she was also cursed with immortality.
CHAPTER ONE
Silence rose from the pea-soup like fog, draping itself over the trees. It was a heavy silence, the kind you'd find after a funeral, when all that separates you from your love is the flat stone, scribbled on it meaningless words you can't make out because your eyes are tearing up.
She sat there on the frosted log, her angelic body dressed in a white dress. It led to her pale feet, circling them. Her crystal blue eyes looked up only a moment at the boys staring back. He watched, mesmerized, as her thread like tan-blonde hair cascaded down her milk white shoulders. She had power; he could see it in her eyes.
"Why
are you here?"
Her voice echoed through out the icy forest. Her
lips did not move as she spoke; it left an eerie sound weaving in and
out of the forest.
"Aime wouldn't want you here . . . You should go."
No emotion lay in her tone of voice. She was vacant.
He just tripped on his words. His mind was blank. He knew something urgent had brought him here, but Dib couldn't put his finger on it.
She caught a small powder in her hands; a blue, sparkling powder that had sprinkled off the trees. She blew them towards Dib.
"Please wake up, Dib. I'm scared. You've stopped breathing…breathing…breathing…"
Dib Membrane lept out of his skin as he awakened from the nightmare and shot up from bed, gasping for air.
