The boy beside me rest asleep, I wondered what he was dreaming. Could he possibly have normal 'sane' dreams? Or is his reality a part of him even when unconscious? His eyes fluttered open, and with that I jumped up, preparing myself for anything. I didn't know this boys capabilities. I didn't know his morality, his ambitions. His eyes peered to me, a distraction inside his mind telling him that I was no threat. "Goodmorning sunshine."
So the first time I posted this story I wasn't satisfied with how it turned out, the writing was horrible and I had lacked any inspiration. BUT, now I re-writ chapter one, focusing it more on the main character, Mariam, a young girl who was placed in an asylum that's supposed to "cure" her of her insanity, but instead bringing out the worst parts of it. Mariam has a personality disorder, and she knows this, but what she doesn't know is how to completely cope with it. Read the story to find out more about her, and her soon to be developing relationship with Jerome.
There will be talk of violence, mental illness, homocide, suicide, and self harm in this story, if you cannot handle that I advise you not to read this.
Let me know what you think, id love to hear it. Enjoy..
In the aftermath of a devastating event, a once-close family is torn apart by the burden of an ancient feud between their ancestors. The father, along with his sons, seeks refuge in the depths of South America, while the mother takes to the road across the United States, hiding with their only daughter.
Five years later, a single phone call from an old ally summons the brothers back to the U.S., urgently needed to help their sister. But when they arrive, they discover she isn't the only one in need of their assistance. There's someone else-someone they knew existed but had never met: their youngest sister, Estella. She was the child their mother was pregnant with when she fled their family home in Connecticut so many years ago.
Now, Estella's world has been turned upside down, and the family is thrust into a heart-wrenching reunion. Told through the innocent eyes of a five-year-old girl, this is a story of a broken family struggling to protect one another from the cruel forces that have torn them apart. Will the innocence of a child be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or has time already sealed their fate forever?
