"Dis-moi, ma fille, pourquoi toi et ton espèce de bon à rien êtes-vous entrés sur mon territoire ?" Une voix inconnue retentit juste devant moi. Je baisse la tête et mes yeux commencent à se fermer. C'est ici, c'est ici que ma vie va se terminer. J'ai toujours pensé que ce serait de la main de mon beau-père, mais non. C'est à cause d'autres types qui m'ont aussi fait du mal de façon tortueuse. Laissez-moi vous dire que ma vie a été géniale. Je vous laisse deviner le sarcasme. Soudain, une grosse main me saisit le menton. Il me force à relever la tête contre ma volonté. Non ! Non, je ne veux pas le regarder, je ne veux pas voir son visage monstrueux. Mais une fois de plus, il est bien plus fort que moi. Alors, avec le peu de vie que j'avais en moi, je regarde férocement ses yeux d'un bleu profond. Immédiatement, l'expression de l'homme passe d'une expression livide et stoïque à une expression surprise et douce. Je l'entends murmurer : "Mon pote". ~~~ Willa est une jeune fille simple qui n'a pas eu de chance dans la vie. Elle a été abandonnée sur le pas de la porte alors qu'elle n'était qu'un nouveau-né, ses deux parents adoptifs sont morts et son beau-père a abusé d'elle presque toutes les nuits. Elle pensait que son petit ami et sa meilleure amie lui permettraient d'échapper à la vie horrible qu'elle menait à la maison. Mais en fin de compte, ils n'ont fait qu'ajouter à la vie tortueuse qu'elle menait. Elle a donc fait la seule chose à laquelle elle pouvait penser pour s'éloigner de la terrible réalité qui l'engloutissait lentement. Elle a couru. Elle était loin de se douter qu'en courant dans les bois cette nuit-là, sa vie entière allait basculer. ----
