Prologue
I felt as though I were invisible. The other three people in the room didn't see me. Perhaps they were too preoccupied facing the dilemna before them to notice the slender sixteen-year-old who bore horrified witness to the whole ordeal.
She was me.
The biggest of the three, a man, held what appeared to be a knife, and he pointed it at the other two with a threatening air. His prey: two women, one as young as I was, and the other appeared to be a lady in her middle age. Their backs were turned to me, but I didn't need to see their faces to tell they were terrified.
After what seemed like forever, the man took action. Before either woman could make a move, the man plunged the knife into the older woman's chest before she even had a chance to scream.
As she fell to the ground, already dead, the younger girl let out an earsplitting scream that was cut off far too abruptly. Before her dying shriek faded completely away, a much louder one shattered the silence.
The one that belonged to me.
As if the cry was the cold north wind, my heart turned to ice.
