"Lyric!"

Four-year old Lyric flinched hearing her name, her stepmom, Tara was back. Fumbling with her fingers she walked out of her room, her head hung down since she knew her stepmom hated seeing her name.

"What happened to my wedding frame?!"

Lyric's lip trembled as she stuttered, "I-I didn't m-mean to I was j-just trying t-to get the c-cookies and it f-fell, please don't h-hit m-me" She showed her fingers that were poorly wrapped with toilet paper to stop the bleeding but it was obvious her step mom didn't care.

"Lyric I've told you times without number to stop ruining things!" Tara slammed her hand on the door causing Lyric to flinch, "Don't you listen?!"

Tears threatened to spill from her eyes "I-I'm sorry Mom-"

"And I've also told you not to call me that!"

Then she walked toward Lyric grabbing her hand and forcing her outside.

"W-where are w-we g-going"

"God, could you quit the stuttering! It's annoying."  Tara yelled, "We're going somewhere, you need to be taught a permanent lesson"

Lyric looked at the heavy snow falling out through the window when she saw something, a monster. "T-Tara look! A monster"

She pointed out the window.

"How many times would I say this there's no such thing as monster you lunatic!"

The car stopped.

Forcefully opening the door, Tara grabbed Lyric's hand. They were walking towards a rather deep lake, the ice was fragile, and the slightest mistake...

"T-Tara?"

Tara ignored her, and with an evil gleam in her eyes she pushed Lyric onto the lake, the ice began to crack under her weight and soon enough Lyric sank through it.

The icy cold water made her gasp, as she fought to swim back to her stepmom, "T-Tara help me I-I can't swim! The water's t-to cold"

"You will learn your lesson, Lyric," Tara said firmly. "I've had enough of your lunacy, people pointing at me wherever you go, I bet your father won't even miss you"

Tears clouded her vision, and water filled her lungs she tried and tried but the water was weighing her down, and then...

There was nothing. But peace

If this was how dying would be I should've done this a long time ago, thought Lyra, she vaguely she her mother grinning as she walked into her car and sped off, before her eyes closed she saw the panicked and horrified look of a very beautiful woman and eleven others, she was shouting at one of them whose sea green eyes Lyric marveled at, she couldn't quite place what the woman looked like but she looked she was stunning. She could feel the power radiating off each of them and then, she slipped out of consciousness.
