ELEVENI've spent my entire life being trapped and studied like the lab rat I was created to be.
Tortured, prodded, abused, I dreamed of freedom, but didn't believe I would truly find it.
I never thought my chance of getting away would come in the form of a sweet, little girl with secrets of her own.
ETTIEI could hear his screams late at night when I was supposed to be sleeping.
Each one of them marked me, scarring me on the inside, where no one could see.
but me.
I hid my secrets, knowing what I was doing could get me in trouble.
I only knew that I had to help him.
I loved him, even if I was too young to have him.
I knew in my heart that someday he would be mine and I would be his.
I helped set him free, my beautiful soldier with the smoldering brown eyes and crooked smile.
But, when I needed him, he was nowhere to be found.
Now, he's back, but dreams to a child are simplistic.
Things are different when you're a woman and the man you're in love with, have always been in love with, holds the power to completely destroy you.
