Prologue
She remembered how the walls use to tell a story to her, the story of her life, however they had been painted and cover with wallpaper. Is this how life was going to be, with them gone? The walls beneath had her height measurements, she had even written down special events, just so she could remember. The pictures of her family and friends had been taken down.
All because that was the way she wanted it to be. She wished the room to reflect her coming of age; she wanted it to become more grown up. She had painted and designed it herself; she had also refused the help of her mother, who always used to decorate her room. Dylan
Now she longed to see the shy lavender walls that seemed to glow like her mother. They were both gone, and there was nothing that she could do.
What if she had been there? Could she have been strong enough to protect them from the evil that raged against them? Would she have been able to beat them? Or would she have been killed as well? Or even, could her death be a better outcome then the one that was present.
She shook her head quickly to get her mind out of that state. Guessing wasn't something that she was fond of. She preferred the dependable and simple things. Then her mind again wondered to the question, what would she have to depend on now?
A wave of nausea threatened her stomach, as her mind raced once again. Would she be able to hold on her friends? If she could lose her parents, she could lose them as well.
She stared at the walls again, enticed by what was beneath. And quickly her hands found the edges of the wallpaper, and she ripped at the stiff sheet off the walls. She felt her nails break, and blood come fingers, however she didn't notice, she was as good as numb. She tore till her tears became too much for her and she fell to the ground and let out her uncontrollable sobs.
What would become of her now?
