The Prologue: The beginning:
A young woman with lightly tanned skin, naturally dark purple hair and active golden eyes as they scanned the park the woman was walking through. Her hair reached mid-thigh: her eyes looked like melted lava about to boil over when what she was looking for was not in sight. She looked at the park again and the forest surrounding it with a cold gaze. No children where swinging on the swings, no one was sitting on the benches. It was quiet; almost too quiet. Suddenly the woman's head snapped to her left toward the forest. Her eyes flashed before she started to run toward the sound she had heard. After a good minute or two, she arrived at the edge of a clearing where a tumble was going on.
Three twenty year old boys were fighting a fifteen year old boy who looked badly injured. "Stupid little Jacob. Too bad you're damn big sister isn't here to protect you. We'd be able to give her a good beating too" taunted one of the older boys who seemed to be the leader. "Leave my big sister out of this, you bastards! You wouldn't be able to hurt my sister. She would kick your sorry asses" answered back the younger boy, Jacob. One of the lackeys went to punch Jacob who slightly flinched but the fist never made contact because someone grabbed it. "Sahara, you're here. You came" gasped out Jacob with relief. The woman turned toward her brother and smiled "Of course lil' brother. I'll always come for you. I would never leave you." Jacob tried to smile but flinched in pain. Sahara's eyes narrowed as she turned toward her little brother's attackers "You foolish boys. You dare attack my little brother?" She spoke as if they were stupid, which they were for attacking Jacob Lopez, The Sahara Lopez's younger brother.
No one in town dared even look at the orphaned brother and sister wrong because they feared the wrath of Sahara. She smiled at the group of scared males in front of her who were about to wet their pants with the smile they received. It was full of unfiltered hate and malice and gave them an extraordinary amount of unadulterated fear that chilled their hearts. Sahara pushed the bully's fist back at him unexpectedly which sent him off balance and caused him to tumble into his comrades. Sahara leapt at them with a killer look in her predatory eyes as she hit them with quick punches and kicks. In seconds the bullies were in a pile. She sighed; she had hoped for a better challenge but when she looked up she noticed Jacob had passed out. Her eyes widened in surprise as she finally got a chance to see his wounds.
He had a swollen black eye, a long yet shallow cut on his left leg that was bleeding freely and lots of bruises all over his body. Sahara gasped but quickly picked him up and started running toward town but she knew it was in vain because the town was so far away and she would never make it. Sahara tripped on something before going down hard but covered her brother's body with her own so that she absorbed most of the impact. She looked down at her brother with tears burning her eyes begging to be released but she refused.
She was done crying. She cried when her mother told her father left because of her. She cried when she realized her brother would live without a father because of her and she cried when her mother died. She promised herself she wouldn't cry anymore. "Lil' brother…You can't leave me! Please don't do this to me. Please. Live for me. Live for yourself. You're all I have left." Sahara sobbed when she realized her little brother hadn't woken up yet. "It's my entire fault! I wish we were in a place where you were protected. It's all my fault, I'm so sorry." Unbeknownst to Sahara a bright emerald green light surrounded them as she said this. Then all of the sudden it was black.
