Prologue
Her life was perfect.
She was a straight-A, all honors senior in high school. In fact, she was the youngest of her classmates; at 17 it had been several years since she had skipped a grade.
She was all set to go off to Harvard in the fall, and on a full scholarship, too. She hadn't picked a major yet, but it was still October and there was plenty of time left.
She was popular, athletic, and smart. Class president, captain of the volleyball team, and second in her class. All the teachers loved her, and the students even more.
She was well-liked by the boys. Although fairly conservative, she had been out on a few dates. Finally she was in her first real relationship with the only senior who outdid her in class rank.
She had a wonderful family. Parents still madly in love with each other, and with their kids. Brother, younger by a year, and one of her best, most trusted friends, despite the difference in age and sex.
Her life was perfect.
Until that fateful day when her world was turned upside-down in less than a minute...

Author's note:
So? Whaddya think? Yeah, I know, it's very cryptic. And I'm sure you're wondering what this has to do with Slayers. The girl I'm referring to is a character of my own creation. She's sorta based on me, but not really. And don't worry! It's will not, by any means, be a Mary Sue. So if you wanna find out what's going on here, read the next chapter! Then the next! Then you can wait until I get off my lazy ass, finish my chemistry homework, and work on the next chapter! Have a nice day! ^_^
