Song: Adele ~ Hometown Glory
*Flashback*
December 10th - 2007
Once upon a time in deep winter a mother was admiring the falling snow, when she saw a rose blooming in the defiance of the cold. Reaching for it she pricked her finger and three drops of blood fell.
And because the red seemed so alive against the white she thought "If only I had a child with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, hair as black as the ravens wings and all with the strength of that rose."
Soon after a daughter was born to the mother named Harley Peterson. she was adored throughout her town as much for her defiant spirit as for her beauty.
"We found him in the woods" Harley said to her mother Sarah as she stormed through the door with her brother Pete holding a young raven. "It's injured mother."
"It must of broken it's wing." She paused giving my hands that cradled the bird a soothing rub. " Dont worry, it will heal in time."
"I'll look after it mother."
"You possess a rare beauty my love, in here." she says as she places her hand over my heart. " Never lose it. It will serve you well as you get older."
she gave my hair one final stroke and placed a kiss upon my forehead, telling me she loved me and went back to her duties.

The next winter was the harshest in memory. Harley was only twelve years old when her mother passed away.
Taking advantage of his grief, a dark and mysterious man lured him into joining the mafia. It started with petty thing like stealing and going on drug runs which soon turned into killing people and her father becoming the leader.
Everyday Harley's father would return home with cuts and bruises, making up a new excuse for each injury. But she was no idiot. Harley knew exactly what her father and brother were up too, yet she did not get involved. She thought nothing of the dangers of being in a gang and carried on taking care of the two men.
Little did young Harley know at the time that her brother and father would not return home anymore. What had started as a fairytale turned into her worst nightmare and losing her family was the first battle.
Being the new leader of the mafia was the second.
