Fear

Briar Elwood

Prologue

Fear was everyday. Fear was an emotion the citizens of the city, Keev, were so used to it no longer affected them. And, as far as they knew, it never had. They knew the stories, of course. The stories that set the fear in their hearts. The stories of bloodshed and death, of screams and pain. But no one these days had experienced these things…those who had were no longer in the city.

Everyone knew the source of the fear was waiting, lurking, just outside the city walls. That was why the people of Keev stayed mostly inside, the streets only busy during market day, and even then, they did not linger. And even though they weren’t quite sure exactly what this evil was that they feared, they were afraid. However, none of this bothered them.

For fear was life.

A/N: Hello everybody! Yes, I know this is short, but the first chapter should be up soon. This story actually should stick around for a while. It was inspired by a dream I had and the evil plot bunny that’s name equals the title has sunk it’s teeth deep into my muse and WILL NOT LET GO. So.

Oh, and I love reviewers!
