Taking Chances

by call-of-the-mind

Twenty years after the walls fell, everything is very much NOT okay. Yes, the walls are back up -mostly- and the light Fae are the only ones walking the earth, but Dru Cameron Dunst is about to be introduced into a world of things she would never dream of

1. Prologue

Okay so I realize that I'm starting another story... but I already have eight chapters ready, so I'll be deliberately keeping people waiting... Anyways, here's the prologue, and since I realize that this is super short, I'm going to give you chapter one to chew on as well, and maybe even chapter 2.

Prologue:

There are these times in life, where you freeze up, and you stand there, feeling fear so terrible that the fight or flight instincts took once look and they fled, leaving you frozen, trembling in fear.

Now, I'm not one, to stand and let my fear take hold of me, that's just not how I work, but when something like this happens to you, well let's just hope that it doesn't.

When I think about where I was, over a year ago, and where I am now, I'm surprised at how much I've changed. I never thought that I'd be able to kill something. Let alone kill something I'd only see in my darkest nightmares.

I've seen things, at 17, that no girl- hell, anybody- should have to see. Ever. At all.

And, if what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I'm going to be one hell of a woman when I get out of this, because I have been downright screwed up. You would be too if you went through what I had to go through.

My name is Dru Cameron Dunst. I am the oldest of three sisters, and I was adopted at the age of three.

If I had know that all this was going to happen, I'd have hidden myself somewhere safe the summer of grade eight, just before it all started.
