Heaven's Rejects

Protologue

  Screams, so loud my head hurts. A foot is placed against my cheek, lightly adding pressure as I cry out. My hands were held behind my back, bile was rising in my throat, blood dripped from my lip. My hair was grabbed by a tight hand. A foot began to kick into my rib cage. All I wanted was for my heart to stop, my pulse to stop, my organs to burst. With every kick, hope is lost, hope for a better life, a wish for love. I picture broken glass and steam, desperate machines stamping and doing only one motion. A dim grey light shined from across the room. My hand reached up to my bloody nose. I stared closely at this dim shadow and whispered out a light, help me. The shadow began to come a bit closer, it's hand touched my cheek lightly. It's finger traced my lip and lightly touched my chin. It was beautiful, so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. All I wanted was to touch this shadow, feel it's magic. I felt arms wrap around me, it was carrying me! I felt weightless and restless. I forgot about all the pain coursing through my body. Just those hazel eyes took every ounces of pain from my bloody body. I wanted more, I wanted this figure to hold me forever. I felt my teeth begin to bite my bottom lip gently. I was quite sure I was sore sight for the eyes, I looked away and closed my eyes and let myself fall into a deep Oblivion.
