Chapter 1

It was a dark and electrifying night in the city of New York. The rain flooding the city with drops of pain and sorrow which seemed to expand and destroy any touch of happiness or joy and left it withering in grief of its loss of pure radiant emotion. A couple walked the streets following the shadows to hide from the evil that lurked behind them. A baby in whom the woman carried was sound asleep, the outside world not troubling her sweet dreams, not knowing what is to be her fate. The woman cried tearless sobs for her precious daughter in whom the couple had no choice but to leave behind, for they knew their choice was the right one to do to save their little girl. The man gently nudged his wife to silently say it is time to go. The woman looked up at her husband and gazed into his pain-filled topaz eyes, hoping that no matter what may happen now, they will always go through it together. The woman gently placed the child into her basket, leaving two letters. One for the orphanage in which they left her at, stating her name, date of birth and that the other letter is to be given to the child on her 18th birthday. The woman looked at her daughter's peaceful face hoping to maybe see her when she has grown up into a beautiful woman, but she know that may not be possible and that broke her still heart into millions of shards. The man hugged his wife close to his frozen heart and walked away pulling his anguished love next to him, hoping for a future free of pain and grief for his only child.
