Okay. This is the first rewritten chapter of The Life of Skyler Riddle. I am very nervous and I hope you all enjoy it! I tried to give the characters more depth and add more oomph to everything :).


Prologue: Skyler Riddle

My name is Skyler Riddle. Not everybody knows me by that though. I am called by many different names, but, for the telling of this story, I will use my real name.

I am 16 years old, pretty young, you would think. You'd be wrong.
The horrors of my life make up for lack of 'wisdom'. When I was just born I was sent to and orphanage by my mother, just before she reportedly killed herself. I know why now, but you will have to wait to find out. I will tell this story the right way, my family deserves to see my side of things.

I am here to tell you this story, the story of my life. You know those "she was sweet and innocent, and lived happily ever after" stories? This isn't one of them. So if that's what you want, turn back now. To most people, the words "sweet and innocent" and "Skyler" in the same sentence would cause hysteria, but I don't care about those people. This is for my family.

We will go back to when I was nine years old. Back when I was in the orphanage. It was an abusive orphanage, to everyone, everyone but me… People didn't like to come near me, they avoided me even when all they wanted was to hit me. But don't worry! I got hurt too a lot, so I was just like everyone else!

They were scared of my appearance. My eyes scared them. They are very… snake-like, even now, that combined with the red hue of them turned people away. That is the main part of my appearance, nobody notices anything but my eyes, not even me.

I met my father when I was ten years old. It was a day I will always remember. I love my father very much, and I know he loves me. I don't know if that is a good enough reason to justify my actions these past few months, but maybe at the end of my tale, my family will come back to me.


I hope you all enjoyed it! Thank you, by the way, to everyone who has stuck with me through all this, believe it or not, this is the second re-write since my freshmen year.
Love you guys! Ta-ta for now!
