Prologue

Twenty-four year old Meera Reed sighed sadly; running a hand through her naturally messy brown hair. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, her green eyes showed her sadness as she thought about the past.

'It was only a week...A week since Erold and I...' She thought to herself.

She inhaled shakily and tried to push the thought from her mind; but it was no use. She had been dating a young man, the same age as her named Erold and they had been dating for three years. She had met with him for a date ten days ago, they had a pleasant date and even made love. Yet three days afterwards it happened.

She turned away from the mirror, already aware she was getting paler as her mind frantically reminded her of the horrible incident.

'He, he's gone...That horrible car accident, Erold died and, and...' She blinked back tears as she considered everything. 'Gods, what do I do now, I...I…?'

She bit her lip; she had always prided herself on being strong, certainly not your typical feminine girl. Her appearance certainly wasn't but she had never been worried about that.

So she was flat-chested, skinny, a little on the short side due to her family's heritage, she had long ago accepted who she was and didn't mind how she looked. Erold certainly didn't mind, he loved her for who she was, despite what her detractors thought.

She wasn't dependent on him, it certainly wouldn't fit in with who she was. But she could not deny his death stung greatly and she felt lost; unsure what to do.

She could only think of hearing that terrible news, remembering her time together with Erold and all the things they did together; that night they made love certainly hadn't been the first, yet those memories were now the most painful for her.

She sighed again and wondered now, just what awaited her in the future; it was a long hard road, while independent and proud of it, she admitted her main fear was facing this harsh new future all alone.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.

So, here we go, this chapter sets up Meera's background, and the background for the story, as for Bran, he will appear in the next chapter :)
