I’ve lived the way my clan has dictated, doing what they asked, for the better part of my life. Once, and only once, I had the strength to live for me, but that too changed. You might wonder why I allowed this to happen. But you have to understand, when it’s all you know …

From an early age, our destiny dictated not but the fates, or the powers that be, but from an elder, an elder who may or many not have our best interests at heart. An elder not always chosen for the humanity, or their leadership skills, but one out of … I’m not sure I know even now.

Now I am faced with a choice, to be what that say, or to be ….me whatever that me is, and that terrifies me. Not only the fact that I am here, alive again, but as much as I hated being part of them, there was a certain security in that knowledge, and always a home, somewhere that I belonged.

And now … now I am living in a cocoon. But I will be something different and that for me is the most terrifying of all.
