Part 1 in the "When Life Gives You..." story. "Oh, we aren't together..." The rehearsed speech flowed off her tongue. At one point, she thought if she said it enough she would convince herself it was true and not just some preconceived, fabricated lie. Suddenly, Aleena realized she could no longer convince herself of that. PART 1 COMPLETE. Part 2 Teaser in here!

Instead of being born with beautiful Marks that grant powers like most royalty, Calla was born with a curse that changes her into a monster. She is sent away by her father, accompanied by a cold bodyguard. War, cruelty, and madness await her. R/R please!
