Regeneration 2: World War 3

Prologue

Why has my best friend died? Why can’t he come back? One more miracle. Please…she pleaded. A rough life that is constantly at odds with her. Why does everything have to be so hard?

The Mullingar madman and the madman with the box have been fighting but everything is so silent all of a sudden. Why is that? Is everything alright? Why can’t I save them? Please don’t let Kyle be gone.

            I will never go away. Even if something happens to me, I won’t leave. I won’t be like the other people in your life. I promise to stay right here, Kyle had told her. Had promised her.

Everything seems to be at odds with her. Everyone seems to be trying to split her and her prince apart. Those around her represent the Time Vortex, always trying to change the course of someone’s life. That someone is her.

I’ll never be the same, she thought silently as she wept. Her wizard friend is…evil. He wants the last of her innocence as a trophy to mock the boy she loves. But why? What did I ever do to deserve this?

Everything, the devil on her shoulder whispers. You deserve all the pain and suffering. Oliver sees your true colors. You’re a dirty slut who needs to be punished. Your friends deserve to die and so do you.

She always shook the cruel thoughts from her mind. What he did to her was wrong. Nobody deserves that. But why did he crave my intimate moment when it wasn’t for him but for my Irish prince? So many things fill her mind, she’s so confused.

Her guardian was taken soon after she met her little boy. Her prince died because of the vampire man. That cost her her life. Death. Death follows her everywhere she goes. But nothing has fully killed her. When everyone else is long gone, she’ll still be breathing and have a heart that will no longer beat for anything. She’ll be all alone once more.

I’ll be a dead man walking.
