Heya, just to let you know that this is my first EVER story so try to be kind:)
I have a vague idea where I might lead it and would absolutly love some ideas or opinions.
I promise I'll do my best and please review when you're finished with the chapter!
Emma Doherty was my name before I was changed, nearly 150 years ago. I had a family, quite a large one at that, some friends, and even earned a few quid baking for my grandmother's shop. It all changed though, once the Great Famine came along. Most of my human memories are blurry, but I have thought so much about those last few days that they are as clear as a few moments ago in my immortal mind...
I was walking down the long country road into town as my mother had sent me to sell me her beautiful wedding dress, an heirloom, for some Indian meal that we had no idea how to cook. It seemed like a nice day, almost as if there was no more Famine, no more hunger. Only the birds were able to find sufficient food lately. I shuddered at the fact that I was close to considering actually eating the worms the birds seemed to enjoy. Or maybe it was the fact that it felt like someone was watching me from a hidden place. "Hello?" I called out nervously. I quickened my pace. The hairs on the back of my neck were raised. I was starting to breathe heavily in my unfit, half-starved state. I heard a small rustle in the bushes nearby. I then knew I wasn't imagining things. I prepared to scream, hoping that there was a slightest chance that someone might hear me, however how hopeless that chance was. All of a sudden, I was knocked to the hard, dusty road. A shockwave of pain ran through my wrist and I knew it was broken.
A dark figure leaned over me and smiled. He looked like an angel, at least what I thought angels were supposed to look like. "Don't worry" the angel breathed, "It will all be over soon". His head inclined towards my neck. Darkness came. I didn't even get a chance to scream.
Sorry that this chapter's really short, but I just wanted to get the main idea out there. DONT FORGET TO REVIEW!
