Dark Memory

Prologue

Rhyann knew she was different from other people. Had known it for as long as she could remember. When her parents noticed that there was something different about her they took her to see a therapist. The good doctor told her parents that there was nothing wrong with her besides an over active imagination. For a while that seemed to put her parents minds at ease. But it didn't last for long. They began to feel uneasy around her, even though she was just a child of seven. The things she knew, no child so young should have any idea about. But more than that, she seemed to know when things were going to happen. It got harder and harder for them to deal with her. So when they had another child, Rhyann was simply forgotten about.

Rhyann was sent to a private boarding school when she was eight years old, just before the birth of her twin brother and sister. She knew that her parents were going to forget that they had another child. And while it pained her greatly, she knew that she would survive.

Years go by and everything around her changes, but there is one thing the Rhyann knows for certain: she will never find a place to belong in the human world. Her unique abilities have made her a target for others fear and anger, though at the same time those same people seek out her help. Being who and what she is, Rhyann can do no other than help those around her, even when they hate and fear her.

At the tender age of 17, Rhyann was nearly killed. She hoped that maybe her parents would finally let her come home, but that wasn't meant to be. Her parents told the authorities that they would pay for her medical bills, but after that, they were severing all ties to her. It hurt, more than she would ever admit. For the first time in her life she had felt truly alone.
