Imagine being hot, sweaty, and drunk at a club one moment to bleeding, crying, and kidnapped another. Throw in discovering myths you thought were fiction actually be true, trying to survive, and falling for a dark temptation and you could be Ashlen (Flower). Excerpt: ' As I silently cleaned my hair that was left on the floor, I decided I was not going to survive. I was not going to become an empty shell of myself, something I would have never been in the outside world. I was going to prosper. I was going to live and get the hell out of this place. I, Ashlen Renee Porter, was no longer going to feel pity for myself, no longer going to shed a tear, and was no longer going be to fearful. I was going to escape and I was willing to do whatever it took to leave this place even it if meant holding hands with the monster himself.
