Rose Diamond: Prologue

Fourteen years ago, Rose's birth parents put her up for adoption, right when she was born. Rose was adopted about a week after she was put up. Her adopted parents were kind, gentle, and loving until something happened. Rose didn't know what it was, but it was bad. Her parents started yelling at her for minor mistakes, and they turned their back on each other. Rose wanted this to stop, she talked to her next-door-neighbor, Wendy Darling, and Wendy told her to try to talk to her parents. Rose had already tried that, but she didn't say anything. Then, one night Rose saw a shadow outside her window, she told her parents that they all could go with the shadow, and start a new life. They decided to all go together with the shadow, and go wherever it must take them. On the night of the shadow, Rose was surprised to see her parents stunned that there was an actual shadow. They confessed that they couldn't go, Rose wanted to stay with her family, but it was too late, the shadow was grasping on to her hand. The shadow took off with Rose to make a stop at the next house.
