On May 7th 2134 Cara Rowan turned sixteen, yet it had not been a happy day. She was scheduled to enter the Panic Room the day after. May 8th. Her mother and father had remained distant as usual, never much to say. They'd bought her a gold necklace with a little golden sword shaped pendant. Her eldest brother Declan made her a gingerbread man as a special treat and her little sister Cammi had decorated it. They ate it in silence.
Brendan Rowan had died the year before. Another victim of the Panic Room. He'd survived four days before passing. Before he left he gave Cara a present for her sixteenth birthday, in case he never returned. She thanked her siblings for their gift and rushed upstairs. After preparing for bed she buried under her duvet and fell asleep.
Cara opened her eyes slowly and found them looking at her brothers gift. She sat up slowly and reached over to clasp it in her small hands. She unwrapped the tiny package gingerly and gasped. A tiny golden heart pendant lay among the paper.
