I run towards Kate, the knife in my hand. No! She drops Max and keeps running. We are literally on ice right now, wind ripping through my hair. Max slides down the snowy hill reaching for the silver gun. 'Maybe I deserve it' I think to myself. ' I destroyed Kate and her family' Daniel hated me. Max was frightened of me. Well that part was my fault. But Daniel; he hated me for how I look, how I speak, how I dress, everything really.
Max shoots and the ice cracks. I stumble away from the ice but I am far too late; the ice cracks from beneath my feet. As I'm falling through the ice, Max backs away. Kate is screaming at me, but I can't hear a word. What does the woman expect? We're underwater for Christ's sake. As resurface, I am instantly brought back under by Kate, who is grasping at the ice like her life depends on it. 'Actually it does' I remind myself grimly. ' An So does yours'
I grasp Kate's shoulder, and pull my self out of the water. " Mommy; please don't leave me here to die" I plead.
" You are not my daughter; and I am not your Mommy" Kate screeches and kicks me back into the water. ' It's for the best,' say. I sink deeper and deeper into this freezing water and close my eyes.
Why aren't I dead yet? It's been minutes, hours it feels like. But I am no longer in the water. I'm sitting in my lying in my bed. I can barely make out the figure of a smiling Kate. " Mommy?"
How was that for a prolouge?! Ha! This was short but fun to write! My next chapters will be a lot longer!
