Prologue

The nightmares still hunt me. I still feel his disgusting hands on me, his laugh when I begged him to stop while tears were running down my cheeks, how nice he was before he betrayed me. I should've known better. I should've listened to my brother. I should've stayed with him instead of sneaking out with that son of a bitch.

But now I'll escape, I'll start a new life and I'll make of it the best. And no one will know. My past will be left forgotten, behind. At least, that's what I thought.
