chapter one

When I was a little girl my dad suddenly left. I remember being really close to him. Sometimes he would act strange though. Like he never stayed in one place long and was always looking behind him like he thought someone was following him. And one day he said he had to go for a little while, and he never came back. He was the best father I could ask for. He was kind and always did what was best for the family. And that is why it broke my heart to find out that he wasn’t coming back. At first I didn’t believe it and I didn’t want to. The only thing I wanted was my dad to come though the door and tell me everything is ok. Life went on without him days turned into months. Disbelief turned into betrayal and sorrow. If it wasn’t for my brother Jason I wouldn’t know what I’ll do.

A two years later my mom gave up hope of his return and married Robert T. Harry. That is a lot to put on a eight year old hey your father left and he doesn’t love us anymore but don’t worry I am going to marry I guy I just meet that hates you! Isn’t that great? I never liked him and felt she could have done better. He seems like a really nice guy at first. Kind smile and sense of humor. But don’t let that fool you. Because as soon as my mother turns around he beets us and does unspeakable things. And my mother never sees a thing of it. And get so mad when I “LIE” about something so cruel. But the day she said I do was the day I lost my mother forever. Soon after me and my brother could not take it anymore so Jason left to try to find out what happened to dad. I never saw him again.

Jason took care of me looked out for me when everyone else would not. He could always make time for me and always had answers to my problems. I don’t know how he did it but he stepped up to help out in anyway he could sense dad left. He took care of the family. He even took two jobs after school to help pay the bills before the devil came. He never complained. So when I found out I was losing him too the one piece of my heart that was left shattered. How was I going to make it though now? Before he left though he gave me a necklace shaped like a star and told me it like the north star guiding people to there destiny and no matter how far the distance we will always end up finding each other. And told me he would come back and that I wasn’t alone.

The next four years my life has been a living nightmare. But then everything started to change the night I meet a man named Blake. I was walking home. It was dark usually is around the time I get off work at the animal shelter. It was cool night still damp from the earlier rain. A nice clear sky the full moon peaking out of the clouds. I sighed. I was just turning the corner when someone grabbed me. Get off me! Who are you? Panic shot through me. I was about to scream for help when he slammed me angst the wall. His arm cutting my air supply. The harder I fought the titer he held me. Now you can make it easier on yourself by doing everything I say or you can be difficult and end up never seeing the light of day again. Which is it going to be? I don’t know who you are but you are making a big mistake.

Then I kneed him in the gut kicked him back. He grunted in pain oohhh you are going to wish you didn’t do that. He lunged at me and I dogged. I managed to get in a couple of kicks and punches before he got lucky and grabbed a hold of me. He didn’t hesitate to slam my head into a wall. I blacked out.

When I woke I was gagged and my feet and hands bounded. And had a killer headache. It was dark and I realized I was in a cramped box! Great I’m mail. Then I remembered I had a pocketknife in my pocket. If I could just get to it. My hand made it’s way to my coat pocket. My fingers brushed the cool sufferance of the knife. My fingers curled around It. I clicked the button and the nice sharp blade slid out. Carefully I moved the blade up and down. Feeling the ropes loosen. Snap! I smiled pure joy flooded into me. I brought the knife up to my face and in one smooth slice of the blade cut the gag of my face. Now just to get out of this BOX! I thought rubbing the rope burn on my wrist. I stabbed the knife as hard as I could into the side of the crate corner and tried to pry the thing open. Creeeekkkkk! So much for sneaking out without anyone knowing.

that is the intro to the keeper of the forbidden light.
