Preface

I sat in my room and focused on my homework. I had been in a slump lately. I remember when I was little girl, wishing to be a doctor. But a series of events and misfortunes completely derailed this path. I crumpled my paper and threw it in the corner. I desperately needed a fresh start and a new beginning. I wished for it often. Tonight as I made this wish, I could have sworn I saw someone outside my window. Black hair, red glowing eyes and impossibly beautiful.

I stood up to look but the woman gave a smile and the ground started shaking. I grabbed my bed to keep my balance but something hit my head and everything went black.
