-Prologue: Endings and Beginnings

The Ballad of Rabena Price.

Rabena’s POV:

“Are the papers ready?” Once I received confirmation I hung up the phone with my lawyer. As I sat in the hospital room, I stared blankly into the cloudy window, the rain was coming down hard. That was perfect, the weather fit how I’d felt that day. Waiting for Damon to show up, I looked at my phone again.

“Still no call from you huh?” I smiled with an emotionless feeling, Thomas hadn’t cared about me all this time, why would now be any different? I laid my head back onto the pillow, thinking back at the when I longed for things to be different between him and I; between me and my family. But no more, soon these people will be nothing more than an extended nightmare that I’ve finally waken up from. Suddenly, there was knock on my door bringing me out my thoughts. Startled, I looked up, Damon was staring at me with an empathetic look.

“Ready to go little sis?” Damon knew better than anyone how much pain I had been in these past several years since reuniting with my family. Smiling I nodded my head and stood up. Today would be the both the end and beginning of my life.
