Prologue...

Pain. That was all I could feel as I floated in darkness. My head felt like led and I could feel my ribs crack as I tried to breath. I couldn't even feel my arms and legs, it was like I didn't even have them anymore. Even with all this pain I wondered what was the thing I had saved that brought me this fate.

~Flash back~

"Harper C, Sanders get up your going to be late!" An old lady yelled up the stairs of the two storied house causing the poor sleeping bird to take off in fright.

Cracking one brown eye open I groaned and ducked under the covers.

"Curse you mornings, why do you forever haunt me," I growled as I tried finding my glasses without get out of bed. Sadly I had placed them on the other side of the room, giving myself a reason to get up.

Once I had my glasses I worked on getting ready for class. I'm 22 years old but I take dance classes and gymnastics in hopes of being a performer. My grandma says its not going to get me far in life, but I don't really care. Feeling free and unrestricted in my movements makes me feel alive.

Once done I came down the stairs and grabbing my bag, skipping breakfast was nothing new to me as I reached the front door.

"And where do you think your are going?" That is until my grandmother ketches me.

Holding back a growl I turned to face her. "Yes grandma dear?"

Curly black and grey hair held in a tight bun as a face affected by 65 years of the elements stared at me with dark brown eyes. Stern and strict, but a soft light of wisdom.

"Don't give me that Harper, you know why I'm stopping you right now, do you have money to pick up dinner?" She said with a huff. I could only sigh before nodding.

"Yes grandma, now I got to go, I'll see you later."

I ran out the door quickly, ignoring my grandmother screaming out to shut the door behind me.

The weather was dark and gloomy even though it was 7:45 am. A rain drop hit my nose before gentle rain began to sprinkle down creating a thick mist.

A frown graced my lips as trudged forward down lakeshore, fully intent on getting to the Kipling bus shelter.

It was when I was passing by the little park area by Humber college did I notice a little white puppy shot off toward the road fallowed by a little boy giggling after it. Then the sudden screeching of a vehicles breaks drew my attention toward an eight wheeled truck heading right for the boy that had just caught his puppy.

Everything happened in an instant. Instincts took over as I ran toward the boy, my heart was beating like a drum as I threw myself at the boy. I pushing the startled boy out of the way as the trucks license plate graced my vision.

The impact was loud as agonizing pain ripped through my body. It felt like every bone in my body cracked, then I felt myself being hurled to the side and my head smack the side of the kerb.

My vision was blurred as I tried to breath but only managed to cough out blood.

The truck had stopped from what I could hear, I was surprised that I could even hear from all the damage I'd taken. That's when I noticed the little boy standing just a few steps away from my body. The boy had a calm expression, which made me wonder if I looked fine to the child. But a cold chill went threw my body as an evil smile appeared on his face and his image shifted into a shadowy figure with a strange looking creature which I guessed was the dog 'it' caught.

People had also shown up and were moving around frantically. But I could only stare at the figure that walked toward me.

When the figure spoke it was indistinct and very faint, as though I was listening through a foot of water. Yet the people running and panicking ran around the figure as if they couldn't even see it.

The figure squatted down and looked at me with its golden eyes before petting my hair with an eerie grin of its own. Again words left its lips before it's hands rested on my stomach.

I watched in horror as their hand sank into me. I could feel his hand dive in deeper, before grab something. I suddenly felt winded as my body tried to hold onto what ever he was pulling out. But with no effort at all he pulled his hand out while holding a bluish silver orb that fluxes as if it had a heart.

The figure grinned before kissing the orb, causing me to be sucked into it. I soon found myself seeing through the sphere, I didn't get the chance to panic as I saw the strange creature that was in its arms open its mouth. It was just darkness I saw within it before the figure dangled me over its mouth as if I was a treat.

I tried to scream, but there was no sound leaving me as I was dropped into it mouth...

~ end flash back ~

That's how I now found myself floating in this darkness. It was cold and empty, hard to think of it as a creatures stomach.

I wanted to cry and curse my life. But oddly I felt like I could finally let go, since my life so far wasn't pleasant. My father left me and my mother when I was small. When I was 15 my mother died from a gang shooting. The only one able to watch me was my grandmother and she wasn't really kind. I had only a few people I could ever call friends but I knew they could live without me there. I hadn't even had a boyfriend, or even my first kiss...

I felt like laughing at myself but couldn't help but wonder if grandma would miss me a little bit, though she could sell all my Naruto comic books and other manga and DVDs I had collected for a very good price...

A sudden pulling sensation brought me out of my thought. I tried to look around but couldn't move my body. I felt my body start to burn, not like the pain I was feeling already wasn't enough! A whimper left me before I fell into darkness.
