The Introduction

February 8, 2025 at 6:00am

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, Wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams No mortal ever dreamed before.

- Edgar Allen Poe

I had woken up from a nightmare. I was drenched in sweat and out of breathe. When I had come back to my senses I got out of bed and toke a deep breathe, and started taking off my clothes. I hated my body, the scars on my body would never let me forget him and what he did to me.

I had gotten into the shower. I felt the warm water as it hit my face then traced down to me body and got sucked into the drain. I could still feel the where he had touched my body and the way I hated it. Every time I think about it, I get this rage inside me that I never knew I had in me. Oh, I almost forgot you were there. Hi, my name is Elizabeth Walker. I am a FBI agent. I couldn't have asked for a better job, but the things I see are so terrible. Some things about me is I am 29 my birthday is November 19. My parents were murder when I was 15 so I had to go to foster care. And that's were the trouble started for me. You will find out more into the story about me.

I had finished the shower and I started to dry off. I went into my room and I walked to my dresser and pick out my clothes. I am wearing a black oversized shirt and some jeans. I go out into the kitchen and look for food but realized I forgot to go grocery shopping. "For fucks sake why do I never have food when I need it". I say to myself. Looks like I am going to the cafe a few blocks down to eat. I walked down the hall to go in the elevator and make my way out of the building. As I walked down the street I noticed the people walking past acting all care free, no care in the world. I used to be like that but things change and so do people. Now I see the darkness in the world, no light. I walk in the cafe and order a coffee and a blueberry muffin. I go walk and sit down on at a table and finish that up.

About five minutes later.... *phone buzzes*

I hear my phone buzz. I take it out of my pocket to see that is it a call from my job. I pick it up.

"This was supposed to be my day off". I say to my co worker John. "I know this is but we need you down here to help us find a file and that's it". He says. "Fine! Just give me a about 30 minutes I have to drive over there. But you owe me ok!". I said. "You are a life saver. Thank you! I didn't want the boss on my ass for not having it. Text me when u get here". He said as he hung up the phone.

Great now I have to go to work, just my luck. As I walk back to my apartment and grab my keys, I can't help to think how did my life come to this point. I never thought I would even be alive for this long. I get into the car and drive off to me job.

15 minutes later...

I take my phone out of my pocket and text John. " I am here". I put. I get out my car and I start walking to the building. There was John just standing at the doors waiting for me.

John yelled " Oh my god you toke so long, I thought you were not going to come. I need you, you are so mean". "You are such a drama queen, I didn't take that long. Now let's go find that file before your get your ass fired". I say as I roll my eyes.

We walk into his office and it looks like a hurricane it hit. "What happened to your office? How does it get this bad? Like wow"! *John turns away in embarrassment* "Well ummm you see what had happens was is I kinda had a panic attack and um tore apart everything". " Mhmm I can't believe you. What it the file about so we can start looking for it"? I ask calmly. John says " It is about a missing persons case, about six people went missing in a span of three weeks. It is crazy, we think there could be more but we haven't found any more evidence yet". "That's sounds interesting. And leads on who it could be"? "No this person is good at what they do, it is so stressing". John say frustrated. "Well better start now before I am dead". I say annoyed.
