Deadly Shadows: Thorn

By Jasmine Brookes

In a world where few questioned their authorities , I stood against all odds. With the rule of my father gone, I must learn my own way in life. With the help of my friends and loved ones, I must stand for what I hold true or fall to the oppression of those that wish to undo me. I was determined to never let the rule of another overpower me again. Little did I know that only through numerous heartaches does one learn to stand strong. My kind does not fit in well with others. In fact, we are outcasts to society. We are feared and hated as a power-hungry race, heartless and menacing. Demon. The word slid off their tongues like poison. I stood alone from my people in such a way that they themselves could not understand, and humans did not wish to. Even deep within myself, I knew I was different. My looks alone proved that. Friends and lovers came and went throughout my life. Children were born and left for their own lives. It had soon became apparent that family was more then blood. Love came to me in the most unusual forms and ways. The fine lines between love and hatred soon became blurred. First it was Asha.... Then he came. Lucas. His name alone brought fear and excitement. I knew not which one was greater. He literally held my life in his hands. Yet, something seemed to stop him from taking it. Lucas was the most powerful and dangerous man that ever roamed this world. At the same time, he was enticing and intrigued me more than anyone I had ever encountered. He was my forbidden fruit. I thought I knew who I was. I thought I knew what my life would hold. Never did I imagine he could change my entire perspective of my reality. With my past and future now changed, I knew what I must do. He shalln't harm anyone but me. I would make sure of it.
