Walk Through the Death Plain

Prolog

Can anyone hear me? All I remember is He had come out of no where...His hot breath had blown on the back of my neck and than I had been grabbed and knocked unconscious. Where am i? All i see is darkness. It's like I am floating. I can't move my legs and arms. Is anyone there? Please answer me! I knew I should have listened to my mother this morning.

(flashback) "But mom! It's all the rage this summer and I want to hang out with my friends for once!" I had been having a fight with my mother early in the morning. I had asked to go to a teen club that had just opened. All of my friends where going and I wanted to go. I never asked to go with my friends normally, but this place sounded exciting. My mother wouldn't agree to my request though.

"Crimson, I have to work the late shift tonight and your father...well...you know your father needs someone here with him when he gets drunk. Please just stay here tonight and I will let you go tomorrow ok?" After saying this my mother walked out of the house to go to the hospital. My mother is a nurse. My father doesn't work, he drinks. I do not like staying home with father because he tries to force himself on me when he is drunk. He has yet to succeed but I have not told Mother yet.

After Mother left I went upstairs and grabbed my bag and left for school. Father was asleep on the couch when I left. My friends were bummed that I couldn't make it, but they said we could go tomorrow. I didn't want to disappoint them so I told them I would sneak out with them. My best friend, Devon, asked me not to go because she didn't want me getting into trouble. "I'll be fine Devon."

(end flashback) And that is all I remember. I had been walking towards the club in the dark when it happened. I would have ran but i was wearing high heels and a knee length skirt, which is a first. Maybe I am dead? I can not hear anything or see anything. But...I feel a pain in the back of my neck, so that must mean I am alive...Doesn't it?

Just than I heard a pop and light filled where ever I was. I was laying on the ground tied up with my hand and feet together. I looked up to see a tall figure in front of me with a knife. He was about six feet and I couldn't see his face. Just then, he spoke.

"Well... Looks like I caught an ugly little whore doesn't it? That's ok. All I want is your body and than I will kill you and throw you in the river." The man kneeled next to me and held the knife to my throat. I couldn't talk because of a gag in my mouth. The man trailed the knife down my throat to my breasts and circled them. "You don't have a bad rack though. I think I will enjoy cutting you up." Than he thrust the knife into my chest.

Pain exploded into my chest and head. None like any I had felt before. I could feel blood flowing out of me onto the ground. I heard the man laughing and enjoying himself. I could feel myself slowly fading away. My heart slowed down. The last thought in my head was, " I am so sorry mom. I love you so much." Just as I was about to drift asleep from the numbing pain, I heard a loud roar in the background, shouts, and what sounded like gun shots, But than I heard nothing and saw nothing.

Chapter 1

I wonder...am i dead? Am I in heaven? Hell?...If I was dead...than...why can I feel my hands and body? I don't want to open my eyes. What if it was true? What if I was dead? I would never be able to see my famil---

"Wake up girl. I know you're awake. Your fital signs are fine." Just than a voice broke out of nowhere and whatever I was laying on tipped up. My eyes shot open and I was almost blinded by the white light. In front of me was a womans face. She looked to be about forty. Her face was slightly wrinkled but she had a strong face. "Ah, You're finally awake I see. You scared us there for the few days you've been dead." The woman turned off the light next to her and I was able to see better.

"Who are you?" I croaked out in a small frightened voice. The woman disapeared for a few seconds and returned with a tray. She sat the tray in front of me and say in a chair next to the bed I was laying in. She just stared at me and I stared back. "Um...Who are you?" I asked again.

The woman leaned on her chair as she looked at me. " I am Violet. I am Vice President of Global Battle Industries."
