Prologue
As my fingers hit the keys of the piano, I slowly let myself into the lullaby. Feeling as each note creates a divide in the silence of the room, the events of the last hour slowly dispersing from my mind.

I heard the front door banged shut and my fate is sealed. The peaceful energy that flowed around the house escaped as anger filled the space.
Looking up from the keys, I met my father's ruthless amber eyes, the ones everyone inherited except me.
