Chapter 1:
Scar
The rain pounded on the warehouse steel. It ran down the sides and seeped through the cracks near the floor. The dark girl cried alone in the far corner, holding her pounding head and trying to soothe her rapid heartbeat from fear. Her green eyes darted around striking the darkness of reality. Her mother's screams filled her head and the vibrant image of the scarred blood they shared, scratched at her insides. The bright red of fresh blood filled her vision and she began to shudder. The warehouse door shook and slammed open; rain gushed onto the warehouse floor. Her heart leapt and the six year old scrambled to get behind boxes.
A dark man swung himself through the door and glared at her. Frozen in panic, she shook violently and her tears pounded out of her system. The man leapt and grasped her hair as she tried to run. He threw her to the floor and she screamed. With knife in hand, she slashed at her and thinly cut her face. Deep pain rushed through her forehead and her heart pounded faster and faster as he held her down and carved deeply in short brief strokes. Her screams filled the rain and lightning clashed. The pain seared through her body, pounding harder and harder. The clatter of rain, screams, pain, and lightning sounded through the natural beat of music. Everything pounded; screams filled nothing but everything and the madman's ears. Her vision, again, ran red, and darkness fell before her eyes.
