Dawn Radiance | District Ten {WIP}

She was a horror. I can remember the day she almost killed me, and I had to fight back. I thought I loved her, up until that day. Hell, I thought she loved me, too, before all that unfolded. We were relaxing at her house, when she had to go get something from the kitchen. I didn't think anything of it until there was a scream- her scream. Immediately, I shot up from where I was sitting and rushed to her. Unfortunately, that was my first mistake. I suppose how trusting and caring I was used to be my downfall sometimes. I trusted people too much and too quickly. Now, though, my downfall seems to be how hard it is for me to trust people. It's become difficult to make friends nowadays.

As soon as I entered the room, she charged at me with a knife aimed at my throat. I managed to dodge most of the attack, meaning that she wasn't able to kill me, but the scar on my neck from where she did make contact is still there to this day. I wasn't able to get away from her until I got the knife out of her hands and turned it on her. That was when she fled from the scene, and we never saw one another again.

I never did learn her motives from that day, but I'm not sure I want to know what they were. I'm just glad to be alive. Trusting people is hard for me now, and that scar on my neck will never fade. I feel like I'm still always looking over my shoulder, making sure she's not there. I'd never felt so scared in my life before, and I hope I never have to again.
