The Half Mutt Mate

Chapter 1: Prologue

Grace's PoV:

I walk alone.

It is a lonely road, and I look for a sign that things will change. 

They don't, so I keep on walking.

How far can you walk before you must stop?

How long can you go without hearing a humans' voice?

Without feeling the warmth of a smile, or knowing someone is happy to see you?

I wait to find myself keeling over from exhaustion, to go mad from the emptiness; but I keep on going.

I don't like the road I'm on. It goes in a straight line for as far as I can see; but I don't know where it leads. It is cold and bland with no colour, I feel numb.

I don't remember why I started out on this path. I don't remember my name. I try not to remember, try not to think, but it doesn't last for long. I can keep bad thoughts out of my mind in the day, focus on what I know, but at night it all comes back again.

I don't know why I bother. I clearly can't cope. 

I'm sure there's something at the end of this road, I just need to find out what.
