Prologue

It was a dark cold night, if I remember correctly. I was walking home from another great iCarly special. I had eaten a lot of ham that night too, but that's a tale for a different time.

I was walking down one of the back streets in an attempt to reach my home before it started raining, unfortunately it started raining anyway. Already soaked to the bone within 3 minutes of walking I sighed in defeat.

I remember a clenching feeling in my stomach, was I being watched? I whipped around quickly looking everywhere. Seeing nothing I kept walking.

I realise now I should've ran while I could, I should've taken off and never looked back. But I didn't.

I continued walking my mind whirring hazily with thoughts of what could have happened. Suddenly I was knocked over, falling face first into a muddy puddle.

Panicking I rolled over, a dark hooded figure crouched over me, I thought for sure I was done for as a hungry growl escaped the figure's lips.

Pain.

And that's how it started.
