Prologue

I sat in the darkness. It was so cold.

I was thirsty but the only water I was given was frozen solid.

So this is how I was to die…cold and thirsty.

I wondered if it would hurt.

What had I gotten myself into?

She had acted so nice. Now I saw her as she really was…cruel!

I took out dad's picture but I couldn't look at it, at him.

I felt like I had betrayed him, but I had!

I had betrayed my family and there was nothing I could do about it.

I was a traitor!
