It is from them we obtain our fairy tales—and our nightmares. They are the reason we believe in superheroes—and monsters.
Because…they exist.
After years of searching for the mysterious stranger who saved her life, twenty-two-year-old Kristina is alone and desperate. Seeing no future in her worthless existence, she attempts to force her protector out of the shadows the only way she knows—killing herself.
Kris drove
her car onto the curb and climbed out onto the upper deck of the Tobin Bridge, the
highest bridge in Massachusetts.
“Are you
going to let me do this?” she yelled into the darkness that engulfed her, wishing
the sun would just come up already. “I’ve looked everywhere for you, and you refuse
to show yourself.”
Bitter
March winds whipped at her hair and body, turning her pale skin into a checkerboard
of red and white. She scrubbed at her arms with her hands to warm them. How stupid.
If he was a figment of her imagination, or chose not to save her this time, she’d
be drowning in the frigid water of the Mystic River in minutes.
“If you exist, you’ll save me. I know you will.
But if you don’t, I don’t want to live anyway.”
As the
sun’s rays peeked above the horizon, lighting the abyss below her, she inhaled a
deep breath, closed her eyes, and jumped. The ice-cold air rising from the river
below rushed by her as she plummeted. She didn’t scream; she didn’t look down. As
much as she hated her life, she hoped it wouldn’t end this way. She’d really like
to see him one more time.
Her life
didn’t flash before her eyes as she’d always heard. Just an image of her mother
covered in blood and her Dark Angel telling her he was sorry. Those were obviously
the only images she’d ingrained into her subconscious as important.
As she
hit the water, a second of crushing pain seized her body and then the world turned
dark and cold, enveloping her into its chasm.
