A Ray of Sunshine
Prologue
She wanted to die...
She slashed her wrists...
She drowned herself...drugged herself and even tried to hang herself but...still she didn't die...
So she climbed up the stairs...entered the roof...took off her shoes and...
Jumped...

As the police arrived at the scene and saw her body they could only grimce at her wide smile.
Nichole Nickiles had wanted to die...she had practically thrown herself at death and greeted him with open arms. But as Nichole found out death was not so welcoming and threw her back as she approached.
She remembered the gloved hand of death clasping down on her head and blinding her vision before it all became a dafk black void.
She remembered a large soft feeling being grasped around her finger and a low gruff voice chuckling at her. Both were comforting and Nichole never wanted to let the soft warmth that filled her disappear...
Amnesia and permanant blindness was what Nichole had been diagnosed with when she woke up and found herself still trapped within the dark void.
Her name was Pheobe Taylor Marie. She was born 7 years ago in a small town in Washington called Forks. She had been in a plane crash with her 'parents' while going on a trip to Hawaii. She had been saved by sheer dumb luck as one of the suviving passengers had rushed out with her only moments before the aircraft exploded.
This was not true.
Her name was Nichole Nickiles. She had been born 28 years ago in a small country house in the english countyside. Her parents had died years ago before leaving her to the care of her elderly grandfather. She had been a suicidal librarian who'd died by jumping off a 40th store building.
She was not Pheobe but in a sense she also was.
Nichole could not bare to tell the dead girl's remaining relatives that she was not their niece. She could not tell them that she was not their darling Pheo. Instead she claimed amnesia and watched the years go by with her loving aunt and uncle. She was happy with her new life...so happy until they also left her.
She was alone again but this time there was no light. There was no color...there was nothing but darkness and the slight hope that someone...anyone would come and save her.
