Forsaken
The one question she often asks herself is why. Why has she never been enough? Why doesn’t anyone truly want her? She was reminded daily that she was nothing but a worthless girl and only another mouth to feed. The last time she saw her family, was the night they dumped her in a ditch on the side of the road and left her to die.
A kind woman took her out of that ditch and gave her a home. Her new family was every girl’s dream until a single poisoned scratch took it all away. Emma was tossed away again, becoming a prisoner, and a slave to her circumstances. The one person the Cook enjoyed beating regularly. The day Cook sold her body, all of her hopes and dreams were destroyed. But one fateful night, after fighting for her life, she escapes this Hell.
He finds her on the brink of death, naked, beaten, and barely alive. She thinks he is the Angel of Death, someone who will save her, but he is a real monster. Did she just trade one Hell for another? Will the memories he steals from her dreams soften his heart enough to make him care for something more than himself? Or will he turn her away, just to Forsake her, like all the rest?
Forsaken series book two is live..
It seems the ones we love the most are the first to Betray us! One such Betrayal cost me everything: my home, my dreams, and almost my life. The second I started running, I knew I would never be who I was or may have wanted to be. All of my choices were taken away with two last breaths, hers and then my own.
The dreams of my youth were destroyed because of the selfishness of others. I fear my life will become nothing but a cold existence of shadows and detachment.
The poison consuming my very soul is nothing but an excuse for me to lash out at the unfairness of it all. It’s exactly the justification I need to deliver the pain others have inflicted on me my entire life. Will the emotions of my untried youth destroy my future as I'm forced into a world I truly don’t understand?
My own mind has become my worst enemy, and my fragile heart can’t withstand another break. I know he’s a deceiver, a devil in disguise sent to collect my grieving soul. He is the real monster my mother warned me about under the bed. If I let him, he will destroy me in the end with his mischievous smile and lying angel eyes.
To be loved is the only dream I have left, but we all know Betrayal is the one thing you can always count on to crush you.
I’ve known this evil was coming for me my whole life, but that doesn’t mean I’ve looked forward to it! I have run from every sign of the darkness, even to the point of being invisible to the ones around me. So much so, I’ve spent my whole life lurking in the shadows of my family and living my dreams and wants through their eyes.
I had become so wrapped up in their worlds, trying to ensure their happiness, that the day he appeared in front of me, I never once questioned what I was supposed to do. The one thing my family could always count on is that I'm loyal to a fault, even if it’s at a distance in order to protect them from him, from the darkness that has starved me of light and won’t be satisfied until it can conquer me fully. That is, of course, unless I conquer it first.
This is my destiny. I will suffer agony unlike anything my mind can imagine, but to be worthy of the light, I need to find a way to face the dark.
I will never show him an ounce of weakness, but I scream silently for help. I refuse to let him win, because he wants me here for eternity. A soul withered in ice and loneliness, Forgotten in this room of horrors.
All the stars line up for us one time or another. I just have to wait my turn.
