Prologue
The sound of waves rang in my ears. I watched as they crashed onto the shore and drew themselves out again. The sand under my feet felt warm, just as the suns’ rays did. I looked up to the sky, a perfect blue. I closed my eyes as the sun warmed my face, and a tear trickled down my cheek, I wiped it away quickly, before it reached my jaw. It felt as though it had been so long since I had cried. And right now, that’s all I wanted to do.
I raised my right arm to my chest and fingered the dangling charms on my bracelet, which shone brightly in the sun. The charms themselves brought back a lot of memories. Memories I couldn’t bear to remember. Another tear ran down my warm cheek, as I looked into the endless blue sea, but I didn’t bother to wipe it away.
“How… how did this happen to me?”
Then I thought back, back to when it all began.
