Chapter 1: Introduction
As Alison opened her hazel eyes to the dazzling morning light streaming through the large window, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement building within her. Today was the most important day of her life - her wedding day! Little did she know that destiny would bring about a dramatic change during what was supposed to be the happiest day ever.
A gentle tap on the door broke the silence of the luxuriously appointed hotel suite. Thinking it might be room service arriving early with breakfast, Alison eagerly approached the entrance.
The sight before her was not what she expected at all; instead of the waiter carrying plates of delicious food, standing before her was a petite, dark-haired woman wearing a confident smirk, glinting green eyes locked onto hers. This could only mean one thing: it was none other than Jessica. "What are you doing here?" demanded Alison, feeling uneasy and slightly intimidated by the presence of the person she had wanted to forget so badly.
"I don't understand why you're here," she continued, trying hard to mask her fear underneath a layer of indignation.
Without saying a word Jessica pushed forcefully past Alison, making her way into Alison's room. Jessica grabbed Alison by the hair and dragged her back towards the bed. Alison felt powerless, paralysed by fear, as was dragged unwillingly and forcefully pushed onto her bed. Standing dominantly before her Jessica began to rummage through her pockets for something.
Jessica reached deep into her pocket and pulled out a white glowing stone. The stone glowed with a radiant life, pulsating like a heartbeat. An evil grin crept across Jessica's face and she glared at Alison with envious desire.
"Come here," Jessica commanded.
Alison refused, shaking her head, lifting herself up and attempting to race towards the door, but before Alison could stand Jessica lunged forward and firmly pressed the stone against her arm.
A blinding white light erupted from the stone, filling the room, as both women fell motionless onto the bed.
