♯ ❝THERE WAS A SCREAM❞ 
⋆⋅ ━━━━ ‧ ༻✩༺ ‧ ━━━━ ⋅⋆ 

IT WAS AT THE MERE AGE OF TEN YEARS OLD that Maggie Hendrix' life completely turned around. A simple act that changed her life forever, creating a path to walk on that no matter what she could not avoid. Whatever road she took, full of hope was led to the same destination that left her bitter.

And maybe she was destined to walk a road full of struggles and defeats only to rise stronger than before with a skin of steel  or maybe she was destined for hardship and setbacks.

They feared the monster only forgetting they were the ones who created it.

Once upon a time the chesnut haired brunette full of innocence and jubilance faced the world in nothing more than bright colors, a place full of heroic knights and couragous heroes. Where dragons were slain in bedtime fairytales and princesses were saved from evil.

It was a calescent summer day, no clouds to block out the scorching sun and the only relief found in the small town Maggie Hendrix' lived was the small lake where most children spend their summer days.

The little brunette was always found near a source of water, it is where she truely felt at ease, with her legs swinging from the wooden dock. The way the breeze carresed her cheeks on a cool Autumn day and the lake was vacate. Only the sound of rustling leaves echoeing over the terrain as they dropped from the trees in the most graceful ways and painted the ground in refined hues of yellow, orange, and red.

Now however her little safe haven was full of blissfull children running around, screaming in joy when they jumped from the dock in the most silliest ways without a care in the world.

Little Maggie Hendrix was sitting at the edge of the lake, her feet placed in the cold water, her white sundress she was told to keep clean already dirtied by the grass while she watched a couple of the younger kids play gleefully in the water with her blonde friend Lily sitting beside her.

The happy scene that was painted at that exact moment however was not what was happening around them in reality with a war raging around them. They were one of the small blessed towns that weren't as much effected by the current events as most. The only sign that something was astray was the fact that some children had lost their father to the war as most men were urged to join the army and fight against the Germans leaving their families on their own.
