THE PROLOGUE

"you are weak...so weak, and tired. you are tired. you have been wronged, so many times" Ashley's voice broke a little as she fought back a sob, closing her eyes as she focused on the mist figure before her
"but-but you can make it right. we can fix it...together. trust me, i can help" it stepped towards her, but she could feel it struggling less and less as it lowered itself to the ground, and Ashley knelt down in front of it
"stop...this. you can't win. you brought me here-" it began, but its voice was barely above a whisper
"and i can send you back. sister and i, we are strong. Papa taught us that. but do you know why you are stronger? because you are brave enough to let go. you will let go of all the hate and anger. you will let go of all the fear and sadness. you will let go of all the regret and horror. you will let go and be free, after so long. you will let go, and finally be at peace with yourself. now shh, and sleep, you have done enough now, i can take the wheel from here"

______________

the last thing Ashley remembered was the cold ground hitting her like a colossal wave of water at the beach, terrifying, but somewhat refreshing. reminding her that she was still alive, and things would be okay. because, if she could overcome that wave, she could overcome anything. she allowed herself to fall unconscious, sighing in relief as the darkness that had been coursing through her veins for about a year now set itself free, setting her free too
