Bright Dreams

Prologue

Autumn looked up at her mum and dad. She was only three and everything was confusing. For instance, why was she wearing a funny dress in the hospital for three months solid? Was something wrong?

"Mommy. What's wrong with me?"

Autumn's mother bent down on her knees, her green eyes shining with tears. Her father couldn't watch, and was looking away.

"Oh sweetie. You have cancer..."

Autumn's mother was crying now, tears spilling down her cheeks. Why was everyone crying?

"I don't get it. What's cancer?" Autumn tried to sit up, but for the past few days she was growing weaker and weaker.

"You'll see, darling. In a few days, you'll see."

Three days later, Autumn passed away in her sleep. Everything happened so fast it was overwhelming. But it was okay because she knew, that when she would turn seventeen she would be able to roam around the world, invisible to everyone.

And that's what happened.

But never in seventeen years.

Could it change so much...
