Emily

I never thought I would be seeking shelter here of all places.

I'm out of options though. I needed a place to hide out.

Somewhere I could get my bearings and develop a plan to get myself out of the mess I've landed in.

It was a fail-proof plan. Then he found me.

I've escaped one monster, only to be captured by another.

He's determined to break me, to uncover the secrets I'm hiding. But this is one secret I can't let him discover.

Can I escape him before he ruins everything? Before he ruins me?

Emily came crashing back into my life, bringing with her everything I was missing.

But she's not the same girl I knew years ago. Gone is the girl who was always happy and eager to please everyone. The one who didn't let life get her down.

She's conquered her demons but they still haunt her whenever she closes her eyes. Her screams tear through the darkness night after night.

She thinks she needs to get away, to keep running. To leave me behind.

But I won't lose her again; I will slay anything, anyone, who thinks they can get in the way of my keeping her.
