Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room? Have you ever felt like you just don't belong? Have you ever fell for man that would just never love you?
Have you ever been with someone you just don't want to be with?
Have you ever cried all night long? Over what people said?
Most girls would have read this and said "yes". But let me ask you. What if on top of all that. What if all those nights you spent crying out your open window, thinking no one would hear you. What if one night someone did, and that someone would mend your broken heart? What if that someone was both your worst nightmare and your best dream?
What if you fell in love with a monster?
My name is Skarlit Cress Darnel. Im a normal 16 year old with a normal 16 year old life. Well, thats not exactly true, actually, thats a straight up lie.
Ive never had a normal 16 year old life. Never have, never will. I never knew what a true life was or even what love was.
Until one night. The calm beautiful night sky, covered in stars numbering in the thousands. The night sky, filled with silence was suddenly broken by a single soft groan. Then a soft thud in the backyard.
Wait, wait, wait. Im getting ahead of myself. Im skipping alot of story here. Please, lets go back.
Back to when it all began. The beginning of fresh men year. At first i was really excited. My first month of school was the most fun I've had in a long time.
My friends and I would go down to the lake and spend hours there. Swimming, reading, jacking around, being plain goof balls. We were all having fun. I had alot of friends, I had a boyfriend. I had a life.
Until one day, I came home to boxes on out front porch. I opened the front door. "Mom whats going on?" I called from the door.
"Oh good your home." My mom walked to me and the look i saw on her face sent a shudder through me. "We have to move. Now. Kevin found us." She told and i froze. Slowly i turned around to face her.
"What did you say?" I asked hoping what i heard was wrong. My mom walked over to me and grabbed my arms gently. "Honey, Im sorry but its true. Kevin Martinez has found our home. We need to move. Now." She said so calmly, it was almost disturbing.
Kevin Martinez is an evil, evil man. He has the power of a thousand men. He can control ice, wind, water, earth and animals. He looks like a 28 year old model even though he's 37. His cobalt blue eyes could penetrate your soul. His smile is sharp and beautiful. His dark- brown hair falls in bangs around his eyes and curl around his ears.
Kevin Martinez is a vile man who takes pleasure in tormenting the weak and innocent. He reveals in his black magic. He could have been a king, a powerful man. But his greed led him on a path of darkness. He strikes fear in all who serve him. He has as many concubines as he has fingers and toes times 22. He has no living blood line. For it only takes one of his children to learn the truth of their father could kill him.
Only he forgot one child. The one and only hope to save the people in his country. The mythical child still exists today, and shes now moving to Oregon state. Shes 16 years old and. Shes. Me.
