I can't keep the smile off my face as I take my seat on the plane. I slide my bag under the seat and lean back. I close my eyes and let a blissful smile grace my face. He said I wouldn't be able to run. As if. I'm vaguely aware of someone taking the seat next to mine, but I pay no attention to said person. "So where we headed?"

Sempre me falaram que o primeiro a pedir perdão é o mais corajoso. Que o primeiro a perdoar é o mais forte, e que o primeiro a esquecer é o mais feliz, no entanto... Existem coisas na vida que não podem ser simplesmente esquecidas ou deixadas de lado, pelo menos não na que eu levo. Eu tenho uma nova vida à minha frente, tenho uma nova identidade que devo seguir e uma batalha que eu terei que travar todos os dias. Para mim, não há outro dia. Tenho que fazer isso agora, ou morrer tentando. Eu apenas espero que no final de tudo isso, quando eu ver que dei o máximo de mim, ele tenha piedade daqueles que carregam o seu sangue e são uma parte de si. Que ele realmente consiga por o sangue, acima da vingança. Pois a partir do momento que tomei minhas decisões, assinei minha sentença de morte. #3 em Fanfic 3/11/17
