Dark Light [Prologue]

Lacey's life isn't one that an 18 year old should lead. She should be out partying and having a boyfriend. Or possibly finishing off school right? She's never had any of that. Instead she is subjected to self-harm and waiting for the next series of beatings. Always looking over her shoulder and always on the run. Terrified of opening up to someone in case they get hurt, by her unforgettable, unforgivable past. Can she ever find that one person she can feel safe with? Can she escape the clutches of the evil King? Will she ever find her family? And will she ever survive?
