~ Prologue ~

Sirens rang out in the distance, muffled by the harsh thunder and the pelting rain. Lightening streaked across the sky illuminating the empty college campus below, and the trees whipped wildly in the cold, bitter wind.

"Lydia? Lydia! Stay with me!" a girl half sobbed as she shook the girl lying on the floor.

Lydia's eyes opened and in a blurred haze she could make out her roommate's panicked gaze. Her hands lay at her sides in pools of sticky liquid. She couldn't feel anything. It was as if her entire body was numb from the cold. Lydia turned her head to the side to see the floor soaked in red.

The door suddenly flew open and people rushed in. She barely noticed as they scooped her up and loaded her on to a stretcher, frantically picking at her side.

"She's loosing too much blood!" someone shouted as they wheeled her out the door and down the hall.

"She's in shock!" someone else cried placing an oxygen mask over her face.

They finally managed to get outside, where the rain greeted them with its icy presence. Red and blue lights danced in the murky fog that was beginning to settle in. Lydia closed her eyes in peace.

"We found him!" called an unfamiliar voice, just as Lydia let herself drift away.
