Description
    I look at myself in his mirror. I see the pale scars running down my back from my numerous close calls with death.

    I see a seventeen year old girl who has experienced things people are never meant to see, hear or do.

    I've done things I'm not proud of, things I would rather forget, things I can't forget, because they make me who I am.

   Things have a way of happening to me. I've always been a loner, until I met him. I had decided to be alone all my life, so nobody would suffer anymore because of me.

    My parents died when I was five. That was my first tragedy. Then I was taken in by the roman she-wolf, Luba. She died after I was eleven. I found by an old man who risked his life to save me, and now he's dead too.

    I have been hurt in both body and soul, but I know nothing will hurt me as what I am about to do now.

    He arrives and comes into my room. He takes in my tearstained face. Pulling me into his arms he wipes the tears off my cheeks.

    The young man who was trying to save me from my fate had first been my rival. But we were both alone in the world, and we found that we had a lot in common. Our relationship slowly turned into love, and because I love him I must save him from his fate.

   "Look at me," I whisper. He looks down into my amber eyes with his storm grey orbs. He knows what I'm about to do. He knew the risks of being with me, but he didn't care.

   "I love you, Selena," he whispers. "I love you too, Lysander," I say. He kisses me.

    I put my hands on his cheeks. "Gleyma," I whisper. My hands glow slightly as the spell takes effect.

    The memories we shared, all erased in a single spell.

   "I'm sorry." I feel him fighting against the magic, but I don't feel the block he had already set up as he prepared for this moment.

    The spell knocks him unconscious. I lay him down on my bed. I grab my bags and leave the house, leaving behind no traces to reveal that I ever existed.

    I left behind my boyfriend, my only love, my companion in my world of deceit and murder.

    I was the Huntress, and I was meant to be alone.
