Author's note: Ok, I seriously shouldn't be doing this… but the idea popped into my head! Do not worry, guys, 'Frosted Heartbreak, Warming Love' will be finished- I will not leave it to collect dust!

I am gonna do this one right! *growls in determination*

This story, however, takes place around the time of the infamous 'Salem Witch Trials'… with the idea of mythical creatures and faeries tossed into the mix!

Enjoy!

In Darkness, Lies Hope

Prologue…

Mama always warned me to never act odd, never be strange… but how was I supposed to do that, when every other girl was acting nervous and terrified of… no, I cannot say it. To even say it, even think of being accused of witchcraft… is to condemn yourself.

Mama always said, I would be lucky if the priests caught me- if I wasn't, then the fae would.

Goblins, ghouls, monsters of legend… these creatures would haunt our nightmares, causing most to go mad and attempt suicide, or old-remedies to erase the 'voices' in their heads- marking them as witches.

Mama always said… but, mama isn't here anymore. She was accused of witchcraft last year, after father had already been burned. It is only by luck that I have eluded the priests so far…

But, luck can only get you so far…

Sorry it's short, but prologues often are!
