Dancing with her Shadow

"I never asked for any of this to happen."

"But of course, you don't get to choose. You're nothing but life's toy, a marionette, something that can always be thrown away once you are no longer needed."

"So don't forget your choices determine whether or not you accept that or fight back."

"But sometimes, fighting back means betraying the ones who trust you the most..."

-December Ashia

Shadows. The blurry man. Fire.

These are only some of the things Lucinda saw before being put in a hospital. To her, it was a normal, spooky hospital. That is... until a man with orange eyes walks into her hospital room.

But she didn't, and it was up to her to prove her innocence. How was the girl being sent off to an academy supposed to save her reputation and life all in one?
