I was scared and hurt. My father wanted me gone, or at least, that's what it felt like. I sat and cried in my room, listening to the strained breathing of my friend, doing nothing in the slightest to try and save him. But I had no idea that everything I knew was about to disappear and I would be flung into a great adventure. A quest even. A quest to find the hope. The hope that my friend and possibly the whole village needed so desperately, the hope that they would all die without. I'm Caitlin, and I will not give up on my quest until Steve gives his final breath.

I never meant to fall in love. I never meant to have children. I never meant to become involved in a war. I never meant to lose people I love. I never meant to let us be thrown down here. I never meant to become the royal scientist. I never meant to do lots of things in life. But I always meant to live.
