Chapter 1
It was a beautiful
summer evening when the air was filled with the scent of Roses and Jasmine.
She was sitting ouside in her robe as she
watched the sun fade away. It was a beautiful sight she thought, as the reds and oranges began to mesh into one. It had been
a long time since she had had the option to witness such and masterpeice and she was going to hold on to it with all her might.
How
long had it been since she had been able to find beauty in anything? Too long. Simply too long.
****************************************
She
shut her eyes tightly, wanting to block out the reality of what she was only too aware of was coming.
She could see
the broken glass and the shattered figure of what used to be a vase. Lying on the floor were the flowers that had been left
to die. Something was always dying she thought.
She could still see the overturned tables that had once been set up
so neatly. She could practically taste the blood that was smeared on the walls. A crime of passion they say. It happens all
the time.
She blinked back the tears as she remembered the smell. That horrible, awful smell. She could never forget
it, for even in her dreams, it left her paralyzed. It immobilized her with fear, just as it had on that night.
Nothing
would ever be the same again.
The monster was here.

Police
station...
He was staring at a document in his office, trying to keep his mind in focus. How many times had he told
her they would never have to use that thing?
Bo: Legal Guardianship...
He began to read the fine print as the
shock began to sink in. When they had made that document it was to protect Matthew. They had never once considered having
to use it. "How could this be happening" he wept as the doors opened and Gabrielle was standing in front of him with his son.
Bo:
You better have a dam good reason for pulling him out of the house in the middle of the night.
Gabrielle: I thought
you might want to see him. You haven't been home much Bo.
Bo: You're not his Mother. Nora is.
Gabrielle: And
she's not here is she?
Bo put the paper down and took Matthew out of her arms. He was still asleep so he laid him on
the couch and kissed him.
Bo: Sleep tight Angel. I'll bring your mommy home as soon as I can. I promise.
He
closed the door and turned to Gabrielle.
Bo: Where is she gabby? What the hell did you do to her?
