Prologue
I bet, you have two parents that love you with everything they have.
I bet, you've never had to feel the pain of losing your only parents.
I bet, that your first day at your new school did not go as bad as mine.
You see, my parents died in a fatal car accident when I was seven. I was put into foster care since I had no other family. I felt alone while I was at the foster home with only my locket with my parents pictures to keep me going. I've never had any true friends. The kids at the home, well, the taunted me and made my first two years there hell. After two years at the home, I was adopted. Can you believe it? Me? The girl, who no one would adopt because I'm me? Well, it happened and let's just say, I wish I was back at the home were the kids made fun of me and tortured me. Anything would be better than what I was put through.
James Scott. The name of the devil. He is the worst man alive. Though his first impression was the perfect face of a perfect gentlemen, he was anything but. Turns out, he only adopted me 'cause his wife wanted a daughter and who was he to deny her? I lived with them for two years and it was great, James and his wife, Ashley, were the perfect parents. Then the world was hellbent on making my life miserable. Two years after I was adopted, Ashley got sick. Simple flu, right? Wrong. That flu caused her death and James was far from happy. After the funeral, I was 'punished' for causing Ashley's death for the first time.
It's been eight years now and I'm still being punished, for countless reasons. For not cooking his dinner right, for being alive when Ashley wasn't, for being me, for tripping over thin air, for being anything but perfect. Sometimes, I think he punishes me cause he's bored or in need of something to do. But I don't care anymore. I just need an escape. I want freedom from this hell. I want to become a bird or a butterfly and fly away from the horror film that is my life.
But not all wishes can come true, right? That's what I thought. But when James decided to move for a new change in scenery-more like the rumors were getting a little to out of hand- we relocated to a small rainy town called Forks. My first day of school, well, it gave me my escape. Not only was I freed from my demon from hell, I met my true love.
But happiness can only last so long, right?
