Hey, so more or less, this is my first fanfiction. I started this story on another account years ago, which is why this first chapter may be recognized from another story. THIS IS NOT PLAGIARISM! I am the same author simply with a new account. Criticism is appreciated.

It was all her fault. They were everywhere, the cameras, the flashes. They were blinding her. Too many people, too many voices. She couldn't breath.

All her fault, all her fault.

They were shouting and shoving, getting closer and closer. She shrieked and crouched down, curling into herself, rocking back and forth.

All her fault.

The darkness was overwhelming. It coiled around her, tighter and tighter, threatening to tear her apart.

A hand closed around her wrist. She cried and screamed, anything to get away, but the grip was strong, she couldn't break it.

"No!" Pulling and thrashing, the man held on, guiding her through the crowd. The noise faded.

All her fault, all her fault.

She looked up into the man's face. He wasn't one of them. He wasn't one of them, they were gone. He looked weary, but it was his eyes, full of sorrow and compassion that said she was safe. The man wrapped his arms around her. She collapsed, trembling and broken.

All her fault.
