Sapphire

Hi guys! Welcome to my new story for the Flash! I absolutely love the show and the midseason finale was amellzing. Haha get it? Amell like Robbie and Stephen Amell from Flash (I miss Ronnie!) and Arrow…was it too cheesy? Yeah, okay I'll stop now. Okay back to the story lol! I'm not sure what I'm naming it yet (If you have any ideas feel free to tell me, I could use the help Lol) so for now I'm going with my OC's Hero name. You'll understand why this name was chosen further into the story. Anyway, I wanted to post this so I could give you a little taste of what this story is going to be like and a feel for the character. Originally, it was going to be a part of the first chapter but I decided it would work better as a prologue. Enjoy! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Flash.

Prologue

Ice cold water filled her lungs as the ocean began to swallow her whole. Adelaide was drowning, she knew she was but there was something stopping her from propelling upward. It took a moment but she saw it, before she felt it. A smoke, thick and green, surrounded her and no matter which way she moved it was there. She clasped her hands around her mouth as she wiggled around in an attempt to move or swim or do anything to avoid the strange fog but to no avail for the moment it touched her skin…everything changed. An intense burning pain coursed through Adelaide's body causing her limbs to flail. A blood curdling scream escaped her lips but unfortunately it was concealed by the deep water. It was this mistake that allowed her to unintentionally breathe in the fog, letting it invade her from in the inside out. The burning became worse, so much so that she began to feel it in the back of her eyes and embedded in the nails of her fingers and toes. Everything hurt, Adelaide almost wished to give up but a part of her knew that if she did…she would die. Scrounging up all her courage she began to push her legs towards the surface. She could still see it, a glimpse of glimmering light amidst the thickness of the fog, it was small but there and she intended to reach it. Adelaide propelled herself forward despite the aching burn she continued to feel in every bone and every muscle.

It was so close…so close…

Letting out another cry of agony she continued to reach forwards her finger tips just about to graze the surface…and then there was another surge of pain. It scratched at her lungs and squeezed her heart as if it was forcing the life out of her body. She couldn't breathe. Her arms and legs seemed to stop working…

Adelaide was dying.

Is this truly her end; to die at the bottom of the ocean? It almost seemed fitting. A young girl who once had a full loving life gets everything taken from her and instead of saving it, she dies literally drowning in her pain. Perhaps Adelaide's life was meant to be smeared with blood. Her heart lurched. If this was true then what of her mother? Was it her fate to die at the hands of murders? She hoped this wasn't true. She prayed to every god she knew of that her mother would be safe. If Adelaide had to die then so be it but her mother, she deserved life. She deserved peace.

Would Adelaide find peace?

Images flickered before her eyes. Her blade slicing through a man's torso, a house engulfed in thick burning flames and her mother's bright green eyes dulled by pain as thick red blood trickled down her face. They were memories that would plague her even in death. Perhaps this was her fate then for the wrongs she had done. She was never meant to be happy…she was only meant to suffer.

The thought saddens her but she decides that if it is true then she would think of one last good thing before she was no longer able to do so. A small smile tugs at her lips as another image of her mother appears in her mind. This one is void of any pain or blood. Instead it is bright and happy. Her mother tan in complexion with dark long hair and of course green eyes that matched her own. She was smiling and it gave Adelaide great comfort as her eyes finally slipped close.

…and there ya have it! I know it's a little on the short side but I hope you enjoyed it and if you did you can look forward to a new chapter coming either this week or next week. Hopefully, I have a Christmas party saturday and then next weekend it's Christmas. Geez, I can't believe it's almost Christmas! Lol Oh, I'm also going to try to work on my Nikita stories then too.
