The beginning
At that very moment I lay there my life fading from my body. I couldn’t help but to smile. The agony I have suffered from the relentless bullying and torment at school was enough to make anyone want to die. At 17 I never thought I would feel this way . I just wanted to go and to not feel the pain any longer. The lavender carpet was soaking up my crimson lifeforce that drained from the opening I had caused moments ago. I couldn’t help but feel relief as the darkness swept over me and the world was fading. Just as I thought it was over a voice in the distance shouting “why would you do such a stupid thing Allie? Why?”
I woke to total darkness only feeling a silky, cold and smooth material against my skin. I could feel that there was a pillow and I must be on a bed. As my eyes adjusted I saw a sliver of light coming from what only could be curtains. I slowly and carefully slid off the bed and get my way around as I got closer to the light I lifted my hand to open the curtain something grabbed my shoulder. I turned to see these piercing blue eyes staring at me almost glowing in the darkness. I quickly reach back and open the curtain to let light flood the most amazing bedroom I have ever seen. There before me stood the most handsome man I had ever seen. Well he was about my age but his muscles glistened in the light. It was at that moment I became frightened when I realized a half naked god stood before me and I had no way to escape. The fear in my eyes must have shown as he reached up to grab my face he spoke softly,” don’t be afraid Allie. I am Josh and I am not going to hurt you.” “ I backed away and asked, “ who are you, how do you know my name, am I dead? Where am I?” “ you are in the Blue Ridge Mountains above you home see” he pointed to the window. I looked far off into the distance and saw the top of my house over the tree line. He then spoke again” I did not plan on meeting you this way. But why did you try to take your life? “ I let out a deep breath as I noticed a scar upon my right wrist. “ how long have I been here who the f**k are you?” I am starting to panic and turn circles in the room looking for an exit. “ calm down” his voice boomed “ I will answer all of your questions. But first please answer mine. Why did you do it?” “ because” I snapped. “ I am tired of it all. I do t belong here. My life is a joke everyone either teases me or hates me. Even my own parents don’t care. Now answer mine damit! Why am I here? Who are you?” “ I told you I am Josh. you are here because I saved your life. You have been here for two days.” “Now calm down you need your strength we can talk in the mor.” He was interrupted as a hidden door flung open. “ sir, we have a problem! We must speak to the council right away.” “Damit! I will be there in a moment. Allie, rest. I will have my servants bring you some food and fresh laundry. Please wait for my return and I will tell you more.” He leaned in as if to kiss me and this time I didn’t feel scared a spark something deep inside me wanted him to. He turned and followed the other young man out the door. Who was this what am I doing here? Why am I so stupid I shout to myself. I looked down at my wrist as I rub the scar flashes of memories flood my mind. What happened I thought?
