Prologue
The last thing I remember was the glisten in Edoch Johnson's pale blue eyes. I could see the reflection of flames in his eyes reflecting into mine. I wanted to cry, but I had no tears left. I wanted to run, but had no strength. I was forced to lie where I was, watching as my home went up in flames, and the life I knew burned to a crisp.
My hand fumbled to the chain around my neck. A small locket of a sun with a moon engraved with immense detail hung from the silver chain. It was the only possession I had left. My mother had told me when I was a little girl, that if trouble should ever come, that the answers to my troubles would be written in the stars. Whatever that was supposed to mean, I thought to myself. My head pounded, and I looked back up at the dark figure riding away in the distance.
"One day I'll get you," I muttered under my breath, before being overcome by the fumes of thick smoke and fatigue.
A/N: hey guys! So I haven't written in a realllyyyy long time, but this just came to me...so yeah. Reviews would be helpful, no flames though! If I get some critique and good comments, I'll continue writing! Thanks!
