Disclaimer: I don not own HSM or the 2001 movie Dont Say a Word.

Prologue

She saw them again today. This time, it was after school. They didn't do anything but watch her from a black four door Sedan parked right outside the student parking lot. The windows were tinted and even though she couldn't see them, she knew they were there, watching, waiting for her to do something.

This was the third time she saw them this week. It was five o'clock and even though school had ended more than two hours ago, she stayed in the library to study for her math test. The parking lot seemed so empty, a clear resemblance of her life. Its not that she liked being alone, in fact she was known as a social butterfly, that is, before IT happened.

She was now facing her bathroom mirror after making sure all the windows and the curtains in the house were closed. Her so called 'mom' had asked her why she was closing them. All she had said was that it was almost night time and that it was best to close them now instead of later. Her 'mom' just nodded her head and went back to cooking dinner.

The water was running in the bathtub as she stared at her dark sullen eyes. Her eyes that were once a nice chocolate brown so full of life now seemed dead. She was thinner now, and lost almost all of her color from her face. Her hair which was once long and held dark luscious curls now seemed damp and stringy.

She walked out of her bathroom and walked towards the window in her room. She slowly opened a small crack of her curtain and looked out. They were still there. 'Probably waiting for me to go to bed so they can report back to HIM.' she thought. She quickly closed the curtain and grabbed a pair of sharp scissors that she kept in her desk drawer. She walked back into the bathroom and shut the door.

The tub was half full now. She estimated that it would over flow in about ten minutes or so. She sighed and sat down on the toilet. She looked down at the scissors she held in her hands, slowly observing the sharpness of the blades as she slowly kept opening and closing them. Tears started to form in her eyes. She had to do this. She had no choice. If she didn't, people would just keep getting hurt. Her heart started pounding as she looked back at the bathtub. 'Just a few more minutes.' she thought till the tub would finally be filled.

As she saw the water slowly start to rise, she suddenly thought about her school East High. She had just been there for no more than three months. The first thing she noticed when she got there was the feeling of school spirit and family. Oh, how she wished she could get that feeling. She wished that she could make friends easily, but she knew better. She knew that if she made at least one friend, they would ask questions about her past life, questions which would bring memories she wanted to keep in the back of her mind. There was also that huge risk of THEM finding out and hurting the ones close to her. So she decided to isolate herself to the point where no one would even know who she was at graduation if she ended up graduating from that school, like she was promised.

'Good,' she thought, 'at least no one will notice.'

The tub was overflowing now. She slowly stood from her spot on the toilet and walked towards the mirror right above the sink. She opened the small cabinet next to the mirror and took out a half empty bottle of pills and an empty cup which she quickly filled with water. She opened the bottle and spilled all of its contents on her palm. She stared at them for a moment before one by one she swallowed them with the water. She suddenly dropped the cup which broke on the floor. She slowly stumbled towards the overflowing bathtub, but not before she grabbed the scissors.

She opened the scissors as she felt her eyes get heavy. 'Almost done.' she thought. She grabbed one of the sharp blades and brought it close to the pale skin of her wrist. A faint cry of pain escaped her mouth. But that didn't matter. All that mattered was that in just a few minutes, she would be gone, and no one would ever bother her again. She looked down as arms started to drip with blood. The bloody hand grabbed the blade and slowly cut her other wrist. Tears stated to form in her eyes as she tried to open them once more. She suddenly felt so empty and tired. All the feeling in her legs was gone. She found that she could no longer hold her balance and fell back into the tub. Water rapidly began to fill in her lungs as she felt her back touch the bottom of the tub.

'This is it.' she thought. 'It's almost over. All my pain will finally be over.'

She tried to open her eyes once more. Her vision was blurred as she could see the mint colored ceiling above her. Her life would now be over. Nothing could get to her now. The memories, the pain, nothing could reach her, not even HIM. She looked up at the light coming from the light bulb above the mirror before her world suddenly became black.

So thats the prologue. I hope you guys like it. PLEASE review! If I get enough, I'll update early.

P.S. I know I have an unfinished project in the X-men category. I just want to say that I'm sooooo sorry about that. It is very unlikely that I will update it any time soon becaus eof the fact that I've had a major writers block. I have no idea where to go from the last chapter. But dont worry, I'll update it sometime soon.
