The Beginning
"What? So everything we had, everything we did, you just going to throw it all away? Why? You promised me. You promised you wouldn't hurt me," Liz cried.
"I have a habit of breaking promises, "Ben said cruelly.
Liz wanted to cry, but the tears did not come. All of her tears had dried up. "I dared to try to love again, and look where it got me! Broken- hearted! Why do I even bother?" She yelled.
Ben did not wish to hurt her but this time it was tearing her apart. She was hesitant to start anything with him or any other person because of the pain and suffering she had endured throughout her turbulent fourteen years.
"I hate you! I hate you with the fire of a thousand suns!" She ran out of their apartment, down the stairs and out into the cold night air. She did not hear Ben call for her; she did not heed the cars screeching to a stop. She heard nothing save the pounding of her feet on the ground.
The more she ran the more it strengthened her resolve to leave it all behind. I must find Laura; she has to help me, Liz though to herself. She ran into the woods, a short cut they had found long ago. Branches tore at her flesh, mingling with the sweat and unshed tears in her eyes. She came upon a clearing, and not looking at her feet, she tripped over a root protruding out of the ground.
An eerie green glow filled the clearing. At the center stood a man, his back turned to her. His dark chestnut hair shimmered ever so slightly in the moonlight. This delightfully handsome man turned to face her and her heart stopped. He was more than delightfully handsome, he was gorgeous, a truly beautiful man. His eyes were deep chocolate pools of mystery and passion. Out of no where, a name came to her, Squall.
Liz ran toward him. The strange glow swallowed up Squall. She came to stand where he had and felt the sensation that she was falling downward.
Liz woke up with a start. Breathing heavily, she took stock of her surroundings. She was at her apartment, in bed.with Ben. So it was a dream, Liz thought, pity, Squall was so gorgeous. Ben stirred beside her. She sighed. Why do I keep coming back to him? He stirred again.
She got up, showered and dressed in her usual outfit of black jeans, a black t-shirt with fire on it, fire armwarmers, and fire shoes. After, she walked out onto the fire escape/balcony type thing and sat on the bar stool they had set out there to watch the sun rise.
Look at me, Liz thought to herself, I am a fourteen year old witch master and my entire world has been torn asunder. Last year, my family loved me and I did not worry about were my next meal was coming from. Now, I live with my abusive boyfriend, my family hates me and I have to work three jobs plus school! When did my life change so drastically? Was it when I became pregnant and moved out of Craig and Betsy's house? Or was it the first time I slept with Ben? Aargh, I am so confuzzled.
Liz's interior monologue was interrupted as Ben came out and demanded a blow job. When she refused, he punched her in the face. Now, here Liz stood, on top of a fifteen story building gazing at the car-choked street from the edge. She took a deep breath. "Catch me Squall."
She did not feel the impact of her body against the gravel, nor did she hear the screams of passer-bys. In fact, it felt like she was still falling, though she should have reached the road by now. Liz opened her eyes and saw.
A/N: Mwhaha! Cliffy. Read and review and if you don't I will keep writing just to be irritating!
