Chapter 1: Two years later.
The scent of fresh air tickled her nose as she dug herself out of the charred remains of her base. She felt tears picking at her eyes. Covered with severe burns she clawed her way out of the pit. Her head howled with words, as images of the events swamped through her mind.
"I'm doing Goldie a favor sister", Her sister smiling with lust fueled craze at her
"Why don't you give up?"
"I'll name our kid after you- !"
The spite filled words ran around in her head growing louder as shadows of her sister and her boyfriend spat venom and insult's. She felt dizzy
"Freak"
"Why am I stuck with you?"
She grabbed her head. Tears in her eyes. Her vision became blurry. .The voices got louder. The shadows out of the comer of her eyes moved. She let out a scream breathing residual smoke as a clawed hand formed from the darkness. It grabbed her. No matter how much she struggled the shadows wrapped around her. Before covering her vision she saw two figures kissing ; a man covered in golden light and a woman that wasn't her.
Hanna Rivera woke to the sound of screaming. Its was shrill and pierced her ear drums like broken glass . Whose screaming? She thought blinking . Her eyes were blurry , as she went into a coughing fit .Her throat felt horse. "Ah…that was me" She croaked wiping her dirty bangs out her face, licking her dry lips. She let out a harried sigh as she got up from the broken bed.
"That makes it what 5 times I woke up cause of my own screams?" She muttered feeling like shit. The broken mattress creaked under her as she sat up. The room she currently crashed in was part of a degrading apartment complex. It was falling apart . Broken floorboards , boarded up windows not to mention the godly amount of 'roommates ' that braved the outside for food.
But this was not bad. She had lived in worse conditions.
"Water. I need water" She croaked stumbling her way into the kitchen. Turning on the light she waited patiently as the carpet of roaches scattered. "Better get more spray" she muttered as her foot crunched something. With a turn of the facet lukewarm water trickled out. Ignoring the tan color of the water, she cupped her hand and drank.
"Oh right forgot to fix the plumbing…"She wiped her hands on her night gown. She had a lot of things to do. The most important thing was the half-empty pill bottle. "Ah yeah almost out…I wonder if they've got any heavy sedatives."
'I don't want to upset my dangerous neighbors. Again 'She thought turning off the sink.. She was unaware that going to the drug store would change her life for the better…or the worse. If she had known that setting foot outside would have caused her to meet the most dangerous being in existence she would have stayed inside.
