Prologue – The End

How could they live like this? How could they run without looking back? How could they just move-on like there was nothing special about the last few years?

I knew better than to question their thoughts, so sometimes I questioned their sanity. They knew that it was harder for me to move-on seeing as I would be leaving everything I had behind me. But they never once asked if I wanted to stay. Maybe because he had told them not to, maybe because I wouldn’t be allowed to stay.

Whatever the reason, I wondered why I was having second thoughts. Hadn’t this been my dream? The only thing in the world that I had ever really wanted? That I would do anything to get? So why was I questioning my decision?

Turning my back on the only life I had ever known, I stepped in to uncharted territories to begin the perilous journey. I would leave everything behind me: my family, my material possessions, and maybe even my humanity.

But looking at my angel, I knew that I would do it again in a heartbeat. Funny, seeing as my heart will never beat again. I had no time to dwell on my thoughts though, as we pulled away from the only real home I had ever known, and followed my new family into the darkness of shadows and the world of the living dead.
