Prologue
It was a snowy night. The sound of people laughing and talking echoed in the air. Some folks in their houses sitting by a warm fireplace telling stories. Others outside throwing snowballs at each other and trying to keep the cold from freezing their toes.
A bell in the middle of the town began clanging. The anticipation growing with each clang as it reached to twelve. A new year had begun.
One of the houses was busier than others, but instead of the expectation present in many other residences. It was filled with frantic looks and panicked faces. Almost no time had passed from the bell toll, when a faint cry of a child growing louder was heard from inside of that little dwelling.
"It's a girl!" Announced the midwife to everyone present in the dimly lit room.
"Did you hear that, Harriet?" A man with light brown tangled hair and sweat on his brow exclaimed breathily to his wife. But the fair woman who had been beaming from joy just moments before was no longer moving. Her expression seemed frozen in time and was unchanged as the man grasped her hand and began shaking it. "Harriet... Darling-" The realization dawning on his face, and soon enough his cheeks were dampened by tears.
The medical staff rushed over by the bed, as the midwife was trying to hush the crying new-born. Turning her body and the baby away from the heart wrenching scene. She stared out of the window. Soon seeing something rather curious.
Flowers, outside on the windowsill. Those flowers long dead from the cold, had begun budding and blooming. Not only that, but the snow around the house was melting. Revealing green blades of grass from underneath them.
Such a sight was bewildering enough to the woman, that she no longer acknowledged the desperate weeping of the newly widowed man behind her.
That day was the day that the world was first introduced to Primrose Wright. Her first day though so full of sorrow would set her on a different path than most.
I plan to update the first chapter soon. If there are any grammatical mistakes, I'm sorry about that. English is not my first language. Hope any who do read this story enjoy it!
