Chapter 1: prologue
*EDITED*
March 23rd 2019 and Sarauniya Williams has felt the weight of the world for as long as she could remember. She was an orphan at an early age, her family apparently dropped her off at the front door of an orphanage, knocked and took off. Cliché I know, but here she is on her 25th birthday running for her life.
Flaassshhhback! Sarauniya Williams was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Raised by the Sisters of the Mary's Grace Orphanage, Sara's young life was heavily rooted in the church and schooling. Top of her class and extracurricular studies, Sara had hopes of getting out, living a decent life like she saw on TV and raising a family of her own that she would never abandon. Some years later one day the children were on a field trip to New York of all places. Everyone is thrilled of course and couldn't wait to experience the excitement of the city and rush of city life. The most exciting thing they had in Scranton were the Greek and Italian Festivals. The food was great and the rush of people was even nicer, but this was WAY different.
Once they got through the day of visiting old churches and had some down time to roam, the older children, including Sara, were allowed to roam the boardwalk and beach while the chaperones and younger kids stayed in one area. Sarah sat in the sand playing with shells and her friend Jackie came over. Jack was 4 years younger than her but Sara viewed Jackie like the little sister she always wanted. The sand was warm, hot even, to the skin on her thighs exposed by her shorts. The water made a lulling sound with the continual crash of the waves and tide washing up and back. The birds pecked around for stray seafood poking out the sand and the pigeons did their thing, being airborne rodents. Sara closed her eyes and lifted her head to the sky taking deep and slow breaths her doctor had shown her in therapy. "Hey you okay?" Jackie asked softly, not sure if she should bother Sara. "Yeah I'm just enjoying the sound of it all. They say when you lose one of your senses the others naturally heighten themselves to make up for the deficit. Makes everything all the more calming..." she replied with a smile on her face. Jackie looked at her confused, her nose scrunched up "Make up for the def...d....the what?!" she asked, fully perplexed. Sara laughed fully and shook her head "Never mind Jackie" she replied wiping a tear from her eye.
Sara looked out over the horizon and smiled to herself taking in the colors. The sun was setting perfectly in view even though it still warmed her skin. The sky was various warm colors, shades of oranges, red, pinks and some purples blending together. There were stars glittering in the sky and little clouds were moved along quickly by the gentle winds coming off the ocean. "The bus is here girls it's time to go!" Sister Inna Called. She was the nun who found Sara and named her. Sarauniya - Godess, in Sister Inna's native language. Sara always wondered why she was named that considering Sister Inna was catholic but she never got the chance. When they returned home Sara was so tired, she did her nightly routine and fell into bed. And then it happened. Darkness faded to day but the sun seemed to be blocked out buy something else, the moon?" The eclipse has begun! Now it our chance!" a strange man yelled. Sara looked up to the sky and sure enough the moon had a red ring around it from the sun it was hiding, but it was different. Sara shouldn't have been able to see the eclipse in such detail and not without going blind. The wind started to pick up and clouds of dirt and debris came in, and then the roars.
Panicking Sara tried to find the sound so she knew which direction to run and there was a wave of dragons overhead breathing red hot flames across the battlefield. Sarah Looked at the man who called the orders earlier and he had deep set gray eyes shaped by unreasonable long lashes for a man and perfect brows. His hair was long and blonde gleaming silver. It was braided in an intricate style she thought to keep it out his face but she got stuck on the pointed long ears that poked out. There were other men and women just like him on horses but others looked like half beast half human, others looked like they were the horses with a human upper body. As they charged she realized they were coming right towards her and she tried to run. Falling backwards, she tried to catch herself, her hands landing onto the body she tripped over and settling in the massive pool of blood that should have been in the person's torso. She looked away in horror only to see the man's face and notice his eyes were Crimson red and he had fangs. She screamed at the top of her lungs and was awoken by Sister Inna. The other children in the room stared at her frightened by her late night screams and she couldn't stop herself from crying.
In an effort to comfort her, Sister Inna took Sara with her to the kitchen area and made her some tea. Sarah finally managed to calm down and told Sister of what she saw. She wasn't sure how the nun would react but she had to tell someone because she wouldn't get to see her therapist for a few days and she had to get it out now. As she finished relaying the details of her nightmare she noticed Sister Inna paled a bit and looked thoroughly scared. "Sister Inna?" Sara called out softly and Sister Inna seemed to snap back to reality. " Sara dear" Sister Inna started "I know that you have been raised a good catholic girl for many years but there is so much more out there than you could hope to understand. I know this sounds strange coming from me but I can promise you, don't believe everything you read, even in the bible."
Just then a crack of lighting went off randomly making them both jump and rain started to fall from the skies violently. "No!" Sister Inna whisper yelled and started pulling Sara back to her room. She leaned down to get eye level with Sara and said "Listen to me my little Goddess, understand and remember what I said tonight and that you can trust NO one but your betrotheds" she grabbed Sara by the arms and shook her a bit for emphasis. "Don't you mean betrothed?" she asked, confused and starting to panic. "No, betrotheds. I said what I said now, get to bed!" Sister Inna replied, pushing Sarah into the bedroom and closing the door before she could ask further questions. "Sorry guys" Sarah said to the other kids apologizing for waking them and they all went back to sleep.
The next morning Sara wanted to talk more with Sister Inna but she was nowhere to be found. She looked and waited for a few days because she knew sometimes the sister was called for work at other churches but after two weeks Sara began to worry. Walking up to another Sister she asked "Sister Mae have you seen Sister Inna?" hoping to get some calming news. Sister Mae turned from her dusting with a confused look "Sister who?" she asked. Sister Mae had been here for some time and Sara knew she knew Sister Inna. "Sister Inna, her family is originally from Nigeria, dark brown skin brown eyes, Sister Inna" she replied perplexed and wondering why she had to give details like she was going to put out an APB.
"I'm sorry Sara I don't know 'Sister Inna', is she new here? Try asking Sister Kathrine." 'No she's not new here you incompetent oaf.' Sara wanted to yell but she nodded and replied "Okay, thanks anyway" before walking off and Sister Mae returned to her chores. After asking a few other nuns and students Sara realized it was like Sister Inna never existed! Her belongings were gone, no one knew of her and Sara knew she didn't imagine the last 14 years of her life. But Sara did as she was told, she never forgot the Sisters words and that's when she began her research into the Supernatural. END FLASSHHHBACCKK!!
