Prologue
"I know how you feel," the voice empathized with Star. It knew how she felt inside out, perhaps just a little too well for her liking.
Nevertheless, she was intrigued by the stranger's abstruseness. "Who are you?" Star asked.
"I know something that you want," the voice continued. "But I want something that you have, first."
The voice was a little too inquisitional and probing for her liking. Star began to back away.
That was when it showed her a vision of Marco within a blood red creek.
"So?" the voice said. "Are you ready to share with me what you have?"
Her fingers were in close proximity with the water, when she stopped an inch short.
"I don't have him," Star replied. "You're a liar. I don't have Marco."
She could feel the voice smirking from the distance.
"Have it your way, then. You've already sealed the deal," the voice reverberated in the hollow vacuum.
A breath of visible air began to forcibly pour out from her lips before they dissipated within the darkness.
Star jolted up from her bed. Not a single sound escaped from her throat.
