Do you ever wonder about the power that one choice can make? How one choice can have a ripple effect? How does one choice, one small insignificant choice, cause such a tragic event? Well I haven't had to just think about it, I've lived it. I've seen the damage that one choice can make. ___________________________________ Lillian Berg has lost everything. Everything she has ever loved has been taken away from her. All due to a choice, a small insignificant choice, that she made. Now, because of what she has done, she has to deal with losing her parents, home, and life as she knows it. The hardest part is knowing that she could've prevented this all. She could've prevented living in a foster home, she could've prevented the nightmares, she could've prevented having her sister be adopted and taken away from her, she could've prevented the harsh rumors, and she definitley could've prevented meeting Xavier Adams, her sister's new step-brother. Lillian wants to hate Xavier. She wants to hate the fact that he's taking her place as the older sibling. She wants to hate the fact that he has the life she wants. She wants to hate the fact that he's so perfect that she feels unworthy to be in his presence. But she can't hate him. She can't hate the fact that he tries to understand her situation, or the fact that he takes in his new little sister, Cora, with open arms, and she definitely can't hate the fact that around Xavier she feels almost normal again. Lillian's life has been turned around, and it keeps getting worse each day. Like a domino effect Lillian's life is spinning out of control with no sign of slowing down. However, Xavier is determined to show Lillian that maybe something good can come from an incident so horrible. And maybe that good thing could be him.
"Who's there," I can't breath. I'm always looking over my shoulder ever since- I can't think about the now. I have to run but where, back to Jake? No I can't, everything is different now. He's supposed to be here to protect me, because if the got me... blood smears the pages of the passed. "Sapphire!" I hear him call. "Coal!" I reach out to touch him only for him to be yanked just out of my reach. I hear the wolves in the distance howling at the beautiful moon. I need his touch again. I need to know I'm safe. The only safe place anymore is pressed against him under the sheets. "Coal!" I call out again. ---I can hear her. She's here somewhere I know it. I can smell her sent threw the thick of the woods. "Sapphire!" I call out, but my call is lost in the night. I have to protect her. I have to save one, just one. Maybe that will be enough to clean the blood off my tainted skin. What if they get her? She'll... Change... I look up at the moon, could she not have heard my howls? Of course she did. She always did. I can hear the other wolves in the forest. Soon I too would be engulfed by the beast. Unable to control myself, unable to predict the beasts next move. Only she could tame the beast inside me. Why be afraid of the monster under the bed when you should be afraid of the one lying next to you under the sheets.--- I keep quiet in the deep dark night. Watching her waiting for her to come back to me. I wait for him to slip up just long enough for me to swoop in and take her. It's only a matter of time. I wait for him to turn into that hideous beast. The beast that only comes out in the light of the moon. The beast that feeds of the insentient. I have to find her,to make her perfect, at least that's what they tell me. They tell me she'll be perfect and she will be mine. She will be the beginning of a new ere the ere of the beast. Everyone has secrets. Everyone lies. Everyone cries. Everyone dies.
