Thorns of my past embedded in my soul and on my body. I could no longer remember who I was and my identity was mistaken.
They said I was Alissa Merchant, a Brown University Graduate and a wife to Mr. Role Baxton. The pictures of us were everywhere depicting the kind of life with white picket fence and plush green oak tree backyard. The house where I lived with him, he proclaimed, was brimmed with jewels and joy.
He confessed me on the hospital bed that he missed me and loved me with a glint in his brown eyes, staring at Alissa which made my body squirm, warning me something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong because I didn't feel like Alissa Merchant at all.

"W-what talk?" I heard her ask while I walked up to her and sat down on the couch right in front of her which eventually made her lean in towards the couch trying to avoid me, however, I took a grip on her wrist so she couldn't move any further. "Avoiding me, aren't you?" I asked her while she tightens her grip around the comforter even more. "I- I am n-not avoi-avoiding any-anyone" She said stuttering. "Anyone but me" I stated holding the side of her face stroking her cheek and that was when she took a hold of my wrist to remove my hand, however, she didn't look me in the eyes. "I-I am n-not" she whispered looking at her lap. "You are!" I stated, placing my hand on the side of her waist. She shook her head and said "I am n-not" "Are you sure?" I whispered in her ear before placing my forehead against hers and she pulled away and nodded immediately "Y-yes" trying to back away however I stopped her and moved in towards her. "Then why aren't you looking me in the eyes?" I asked her the tricky question which she wouldn't be able to answer.Complete

Chasing the Browns
Life was going okay...until I found out I had a stalker. That's when everything changed. ~~~~~ That’s when I heard the fence give way. I bolted for my left and sprinted as fast as I could. The rain burned my eyes and I had no idea where I was going. I was running blindly in a dark alleyway to God knew where. And, somehow, I knew I wouldn’t make it through without being caught. All of a sudden, I felt myself hurtling through the air. I let out a scream when my head made sickeningly painful contact with the slimy ground beneath me. That’s when he caught up with me. That’s when he dragged me to my feet, only eyes visible beneath his black mask. That’s when he whispered, ‘Keep still, and you won’t get hurt.’ Stupidly and feebly, I thrashed in his grip. And that’s when I caught a glimpse of the wet blade that glistened with rain drops, before he pressed it against my throat. Cliche, with a twist. Enjoy :) (It's better than it sounds, I promise!) #166 Mystery/Thriller #230 RomanceComplete
