PROLOGUE
Sarah was going home, as always. Well, it wasn't quite the same, why? Miss Allerton had made her clean the floors of the manor over and over again, until the old woman decided they were clean enough. She hated to walk in the streets so late in the night, in each alley someone could appear and take her completely by surprise.
She could hear screams and smell the awful stench that came from the local taverns at one o'clock in the morning, and quickened her steps to arrive home as soon as possible.
But something made her stand still. Two or three men were threatening another, who didn't seem as untidy as the others. In fact, he looked wealthy. She hid in one of the closest vestibules, fearing to be discovered, and drowned a shout when she saw one of the scary men stab the other one with his knive.
Then the rest kicked him hard in his head and the rest of his body, and when they were sure he was dead, they took him in their arms and dissappeared from the crime scene.
Sarah was breathing hard, and put her hand to her heart to make sure it was still beating. She was sure she would faint at any moment, and she started to run towards her house. She opened the door and leaned on it after it closed, still not sure what she had seen.
Hey! I'm back! Probably most of you will say: What's she saying? Well, I have to tell you that I was previously known as "The lady of the Shadows", and after a process of changing, I am willing to keep writing. And if you are one of the people who were reading my stories, I apologize, but I promise I will post them again, after a revision of course!
Sorry for the shortness, but hey! This is just the prologue! You will have to review if you want me to update quickly!
Special thanks to my wonderful beta, Vampire Princess Nissa. Thanks!
Love you all!
