PROLOGUE

If she were being completely honest with herself, she would have accepted all of this long ago, but she's not. She's living, no, drowning in denial. Self denial. Everything that has and is happening is too far outside of her realm of what is and isn't real. It's difficult for her to accept any of it, to nod and walk head first into it, to change the boundaries. Needless to say, she hasn't. The closest thing she's done to that is brush it off and walk in the opposite direction.

But you can't walk away from your past or future, it always finds a way to sneak up on you. No matter how much you've tried to stay in the light, it's always that shadow of dark nestled in the farthest corner of your mind. You can keep pushing it further and further away, but eventually it's as far as it can go, and like a rubber band, it'll end up snapping back at you. And when that happens, you're a goner.
