Do You Believe In Fairytales?

(This is a little snippet of the book I'm writing, if you guys like it I might share more with you.) :)

Prologue- Annalise.

When I was younger I believed in fairytales.
That was until everything changed.
Loosing my mum at such a young age proved to me there was no such thing as a happily ever after. Especially as I was left with my father. Mum had protected me from him and when she died the only thing I could do was stay out of his way or hide, that said, it didn't stop him from catching up with me, I was a minor so I couldn't leave home, I just had to suck it up and get on with life.
As I became a teen I worked part time outside of school so I was out of the house as much as possible, and that helped me. Not only did it keep me away from him but seen as though I didn't have any thing to really spend my money on, I hid it, stashed it away so one day I could get the hell away from here.

I just want to quickly point out, that these chapters can get quite harsh and unpleasant quite quickly, so younger and more sensitive readers please be aware. Chapter III may not be so pleasant.

My Life.

The saddest thing is that I can't think of a single person who needs me. It hurts so much. Someone so young shouldn't understand so much pain.

By Candlelight

The candle burns, A flickering light, It's soft, warm glow, Lighting up the night. By candlelight, I write a note, My tears stain the paper, Smudge the words I wrote.

Destroy is my favorite word. So I got my garters and I caught your tongue like a cartoon cat. You got my skin in yours and you caught on.
