Prologue
She never knew she had an uncle until her parents died. It’s strange how- sometimes in life when bạn lose important people in your life bạn gain some more.
Her mother and father died in a house fire. No one knew how it started except the one daughter who managed to survive.
But she was in no state to tell. She suffered mild burns but her mind suffered worst of all. She never spoke again.
She was kept in hospital for six months but eventually she was packed off to her uncle Scipio. She was thirteen years old and many đã đưa ý kiến it was a crime sending a child off to such an evil man as Scipio.
The old man had a terrible reputation in the tiny village where he lived and if he ventured outside- which almost never happened- rumours flew about him like leaves in a storm.
The ngày the girl arrived caused a great sensation, all of the villagers who was able gathered in the Midnight Hangman- the local pub to gossip and drink to her hearts content. Many tall tales was spun in there and bạn never knew who to believe.
Meanwhile the girl had been led up to the old man’s mansion and was shivering with mingled cold and fear as she waited for the unknown being to answer the door. The young man chosen to escort them looked about himself nervously. He didn’t like the look of this place. The village seemed to be sinking into the ground itself and the mansion towered over it like a predator over it’s prey.
He knocked once thêm on the huge brass knocker. It was in the shape of an eagle and the eyes- which was blood-red rubies- gleamed evilly in the fast-approaching twilight.
Eventually the oak door- which was rather small compared to the size of the house- creaked open and a tall, slim man with white-blond hair and white eyes. There was no colour in him at all and he looked as if a mere summer’s breeze would crumple him into dust. He bowed and introduced himself as Abraxas, eternal servant to the Master Scipio.
The man couldn’t get out of there fast enough. He did feel a little for the little girl who was being left in such a madman’s care but he cared much thêm about getting himself as far away from the place as possible.
Abraxas watched the man race down the hillside, turned curtly, and began making his way along the poor-lit passageway followed closely bởi the girl. She was shown into a small; ngọn lửa, chữa cháy lit room and left there. But she was not alone. An old man was sitting in an armchair, watching the flames. He turned to face her and though no noise escaped her lips her face was a mixture of shock and horror. His hair was jet black and was kept in a ponytail that reached his waist. His skin was wrinkled and roughened with age like any old man’s but it seemed to tremble with energy and life. His eyes were a strong deep blue and bạn could yell they saw everything that went on about him. He would have been the perfect picture of health if it were not for the livid red scar that ran from just above his left ear to the bottom of his lips. It completely disfigured his otherwise handsome face and the little girl could not stop staring at it. The man smiled.
“You know it’s rude to stare,” he đã đưa ý kiến in a voice as light as air but as strong as life. The girl jumped and he laughed quietly.
“Do bạn know who I am?” he asked and she shook her head. I am Scipio Orion Aurelius and I am your Uncle. What is your name?”
Silence.
“Did bạn not hear me? I asked who bạn are.” He đã đưa ý kiến in a voice that clearly showed his irritation at being ignored.
But still there was silence.
“I shall ask bạn a third time. Who are you?”
But nothing was heard in the little room except the crackling of the fire.
Scipio took a deep rattling breath and sighed heavily. “If bạn will not tell me your name I shall have to give bạn one. Let me see… your parents died in a ngọn lửa, chữa cháy I think so I shall call bạn Ember.
He rang a chuông, bell for Abraxas and told him- “Put her in her room and keep her there until I decide what to do with her.”
Abraxas set off immediately and her uncle turned back to the ngọn lửa, chữa cháy so there was no one to see the tears that fell silently from the girls frightened eyes.

I don't believe you.
I really don't
After all these years
This is what bạn give me?
Why did bạn break up with me?
I don't understand.
bạn were so close with me
And then that tech freak came by
And bạn left me.
bạn abandoned me.
Why did bạn dump me?
Such a close friend of mine.
Laughing with me all these years
Crying with me.
Now, bạn leave me.
Why?
I don't understand anything that happened.
Why can't happy things happen
In this world?
Why do things have to be so sad?
I can't accept that it happened.
Because I am still a close friend
Of yours
But I can't accept the facts.
I just can't.
I really don't
After all these years
This is what bạn give me?

When bạn hope,
bạn expect and wish,
bạn have a feeling for wanting,
Your desires to be filled,
bạn don’t want them killed,
Hope makes bạn stronger,
We live to hope,
Hope is what keeps us going,
Keep it sealed,
Let it be healed,
Like it’s your shield,
Sometimes it’s your battle field,
Keep hope close to bạn in life,
Sometimes bạn need to rethink twice,
For hope is unstable,
It comes and goes,
Hope is a special gift,
Not everyone knows,
If they do, they don’t bother to show,
Some of us want to lose hope,
Some of us want to regain hope,
Some think it’s a useless tool,
Yet they’re the ones blind,
Who won’t come to mind?
bạn and I, we all need hope,
No matter how far we seem from it,
It will find us one day,
For hope will come to us,
Wish and desire bạn tim, trái tim out,
Keep in mind,
Don’t back away;
bạn know what bạn want,
Keep hoping till the END……

Những người bạn Are Forever,so I thought.
All those pictures that I bought,now torn apart along with my broken heart.
I miss those hugs and laughs we use to share,because now they act like they don't care.
Now all we do is fight.
I wish God would give us some light,give me a solution to solve all this tension.
Những người bạn don't back stab you.
Những người bạn don't talk behind your back hoặc be pissed off at bạn when they feel like it.
Nobody seems to care anymore.
Now girls are turning into whores.
All I know is that now we are all Những người bạn for never.
When we need to go back to being Những người bạn FOREVER!
