NOTE: I had to redo the prologue
because it was covered due to a swear word and I didn't even
have vulgar language in it. Oh well. To those of you who read the
original, I've changed it a bit. Thanks for taking time
though. :]

prologue ~
Shadows
dance on the walls of my bedroom. I dig myself further into the
blankets, hugging my arms. Goosebumps sprawl across my skin as I
shiver. You're scared of a shadow of a tree on the
wall. Pathetic. I curl myself into a ball, trying to ignore
the voice. "Show yourself." I finally manage to speak.
I've been listening to this voice rant on my life. It's
not a shadow of a tree. I know it's a shadow of
him. Why don't you show yourself? Just turn on the
light and you'll see me, but of course you're too scared
to. from the tone of his voice, I realize he's
rolling his eyes - if he has any. I bite my lower lip, teeth
gently sinking in slowly. If you don't come out of
your little shell, I will break it for you. he laughs. I
close my eyes, rolling to the left side of my bed and stretching
my hand out. I click my lamp's switch on after a few minutes
of feeling. I can't open my eyes. I'm pulling
the covers. he adds. I tug my blanket closer to me, but he
yanks it from my reach and I'm bare. My tank is too loose to
give me warmth and duck shorts aren't the best insulator. I
finally open my eyes and I see a boy, about my age, staring at
me. He wears a biker's jacket and skinny, worn-out
jeans. Aren't you beautiful? he grins,
bending down to bring my chin to his. I shift slightly but he
inches closer. I jab my fist at his face and he falls back.
"Aren't you a fighter? I like girls like that, Emily
Carson." his raspy voice changes into a handsome, low
one.
"Who are you?" I ask.

Might be my FINAL ATTEMPT for a story because I'm less
inspired but I really hope this one works. The original idea was
a good one but hard to grip and keep the same format. So I kept
it more brief and less complex. And so on, I hope you like this
prologue. I spent like two hours trying to edit this and keep it
simple. An hour on the original idea and an hour on this. Kay.
Thanks.
TEASER: I hug his waist a bit more firmly, digging my
head into his back.
