Have you ever wondered why you're haunted by random thoughts? 
Maybe, just maybe they aren't random. 

"Why me? That is my question to whoever is up there pulling the strings...why me? " This was the question that tormented Adam Baker as he sat in his car on the side of the road contemplating the ultimate sacrifice, taking his own life.  Two simple words, why me.
Adam Baker's struggles were the result of his past actions, misdeeds that his mind never let him forget. The only problem was that they weren't actions he remembered being a part of. It was as if they were someone else's memories with Adam suffering their karmic debt.  Stranger still was that those memories were from a time before Adam was even born.  We start back in 1968 where it all began. 
Crimson & Clover is Adam's story.

Eden's First Daughter by NicoleShaffer97
97 parts Complete Mature
There are two sides to every story, but that doesn't mean that both are always heard. That's the funny thing about history, we don't often hear it from the voices that matter most. The same goes for me. Though the story of the Garden of Eden may seem clear as day, the truth of the matter has been long lost to time and the horrors that happened within it are now only known to its original residents. Though Adam may have been the first man to walk the Earth, to many people's surprise, Eve was not in fact the first woman, for that title would be held by another tortured soul that came before her; a soul who fled after refusing to be subservient to a man that would do unspeakable things to her against her will. Though he was later banished from the garden after his new wife trusted a particularly clever serpent who tricked her into eating fruit from the single tree that had been deemed forbidden, Adam still became famous for his role in humanity while his true first wife seemingly disappeared from the record, only appearing in subtle reference as the 'monster' she became, damning mankind as she spread a plague of demons across the Earth. But now, the question remains, just who was Eden's first daughter? This story takes place in the spring of 2024, and the Archangelic Council is having trouble making a crucial decision that will greatly impact the world. In a dire time like this, they were told by Adonai, God himself before he left the world in their hands long ago, that another council could be called in to help. After putting it to a vote, the New Order was to be assembled and their leader was none other than the wife of both Samael and Lucifer, the mother of all demons herself, Lilith. This story covers important issues including but not limited to bullying, self-harm, suicide, and sexual assault. Going into detail about these things is important to the story and viewer discretion is advised.

{Her innocence was taken. Her innocence was lost. Lylibeth Adams became something else. Something else that is meant for vengeance.} In the quiet depths of her mind, a storm raged. A tempest of emotions that she couldn't quite understand or control. It was as if a part of her was missing, a piece of her soul that had been torn away by some unknown force. Like someone had clawed inside her and ripped away her soul. And yet, she couldn't quite remember what happened. All she knew was the pain that lingered and an ache that never quite went away. An ache that broke her mentally and physically. It tore away her innocence with something long, hard, and musty. Lylibeth, a child who mysteriously vanished along with two other kids on a cold November and was found days later on the side of a road, has recently returned to her hometown. With broken and ill-paced thoughts, she slowly succumbs to vague memories, unexplainable events, and incomprehensible actions. As she struggles to piece together what is happening to her. What had happened to her and what will happen to her, a secret kept for years makes itself known. A monstrous secret that people around her would keep hidden, even if it cost their lives.

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell. I want to enter this story in the #Wattys2015 please help me out and vote and comment on my story. I'll really appreciate it!!! #Wattys2015 COPYRIGHTED © 2014 BY Anallely ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ®
