Night Monster • Prologue

Fire was wrong about many things. She was wrong about the herbs preventing pregnancy, She was wrong about what she thought she wanted and she was wrong about being the only monster in the dells.

AN: As always the dells and characters of Fire belong to the brilliance of Kristen Cashore. Also please forgive me as I destroy the spelling and grammar. Also please forgive me if I go against something in the book I listened to Fire as a book on tape so I have no reference to look back to I am just going off of my memory. If you have something that bugs you in consistency of the book or in how to spell names if you want to help me out by sending them to me I would love you forever! Ok at-least I would love you for the 2 minuets and 45 seconds it would take to change the name. Thanks again for reading and please review I hope you all like it!

Prologue

The sunlight of 60 summer days kissed her skin with the shimmer of gold and bronze. She missed the pale milky white that winters solace left on her skin. The powerful rays of sunlight reached past her skin to ache in her muscles and burned in her bones. Glory hated being out in the day she hated how everything around her screamed burning with color. How even in the thickest forest on a rainy day you could hear in the rustling leaves and branches a promise of a hundred golden afternoons to come. She ran through the thick forest lining the great grays darting from tree to tree pursuing the familiarity of shadows. Eight years the rocky cliffs of the grays Face had been her home. She new this land well and right now she needed that advantage.
