Prologue
What am I feeling?
What is feeling?
How do I know what I feel?
These questions invade my brain and before I know it, I'm scared of what is happening. My first instinct is to open my eyes, what are eyes? How do I now know what they are. What is this voice inside my head that's driving me to the point of, I don't know the word! Insanity! What is even that word!? What my eyes display before me is real I think, I lift a limb of my body to touch the cold metal in front of me.
'It's called a hand, a voice whispers in my head. It's not mine though. 'Who are you?' I think.
Think, it's different than feeling...
'Someone who loves you.' The voice whispers. I choked on the word love.
What is love?
'You are human, don't let anyone tell you different' the voice suddenly boomed in my head.
Human? What is that!
'It's what you are. Eighteen, no Ella, don't let anyone hurt you. And protect your siblings.'
I have siblings...
'And remember, I love you.'
