Prologue









Do we choose our life or is it a predetermined path, do we make our own choices or have they already been made for us? Do we each follow our own destiny or is it all just a game, am I the loser? As I stand here I feel every decision I have made up to this point was useless, my path had been chosen by the darkness. My fate was inevitable.
My existence is a burden and in only months I have fallen from grace. My heart has felt things that I didn’t think possible for me, I have experienced something truly amazing and without his love I would not exist. I have lost my only family, betrayed him in the worst possible way and I will never be forgiven for such a treacherous act.
All the secrets that I have been desperate to uncover for my entire life, have become answers. As I lay here I wish that those answers had not come looking for me, I wish I was still in the dark.
I can hardly breathe, I have suffocated in the pain that I have just been forced to witness. If I accept their offer there is no turning back, my life will be over and I will be condemned into the darkness. My hand shake with rage and I cannot help but wonder if things would have turned out differently if I was all alone.
If the only way to save the one you loved were to sacrifice your own life, would you do it? I am faced with this very choice and I only have seconds to decide my fate and his. I search through the shadows for some sign of hope, in seconds my decision is final.



As I stand here in the hallway I watch as the other girls fly past, adjusting their dresses and hair. Desperate to impress the opposite sex and eachother I lean agains the doorway with my arms folded and toothbrush sticking out my mouth.
“Hurry up Alexis!” Ruby snaps as she rushes past and starts powdering her face with bronzer and other fancy makeup.

Destiny is an inevitable course of events, as I stand here terrified I wish that these events didn’t have to unfold. I wish I could press rewind and go back to the start, a start that didn’t involve humans and betrayel. I wish have never wanted to know where I came from, now that I think about it having no knowledge would have been a lot easier. For everyone involved.
It takes only moments before I realise that destiny really is an inevitable course of events. No matter what choices were made I still would have ended up here, trapped and terrified. Why did he have to get caught, why can’t they take me and be satisfied with my destruction. They torture him and it is killing me, I scream for them to stop but they laugh.
“You broke the rules remember!”
I try to fight everything that is holding me back, it’s useless my power is nothing against them.
It is in this exact moment that I see the past four months of my life flash before my eyes like a short story.
Everything that has led up to this exact moment is a result of my choices, whether those choices were right or not will always remain a mystery.
I can hardly breathe, I have suffocated in the pain that I have just been forced to witness. If I accept their offer there is no turning back, my life will be over and I will be condemned into the darkness. My hand shake with rage and I cannot help but wonder if things would have turned out differently if I was all alone.
