"I close my eyes and dream about the girl who I used to be. The girl from long ago who never once in her life endured such nightmares and Hell, I try to be the girl who laughed easily at the jokes her mother said into her ear. A little girl who was all smiles and never worried about anything and trusted everyone. I try to be that girl again, I try to find her, but she is buried to deep into the depths of my soul. I can feel no part of her...I can no longer hear her heart beat...I can no longer hear her laughs. The girl from long ago is dead and she can never come back" ~Zoey Zoey came back to earth from the flames of Hell. Unfortunately, the demons from Hell follow her everywhere she goes by giving her nightmares and reminding her that she is broken. Not only are there demons in Hell, but their are demons on earth. Her past comes back to haunt her as soon as she comes back to life. Being a part of a terrorist group has put a toll on her. She had no choice to join, otherwise she would die. She meets new people on her time back on earth. Matthew, Ria, and Christian. They all want to help Zoey, but she keeps pushing them all away. Many secrets will come out. Love will fly in the air. Danger is at every corner. Former lover seeking revenge. With all of these Demons, will Zoey ever believe in God and put her faith in him? Zoey doesn't know it yet, but their is an angel in her midst.

Zoey: The main character in the book. She was apart of a terrorist group, but was seperated by death. But by some miracle, she escaped the flames of Hell, only to be in another cage. The insane facility is where she is held for most of her time back on earth. They lock her up whenever she claims to have seen a murderer in her room. She escapes after a coma that played right into her favor to play the girl who never speaks. But through all of that torture and feelings of hurt and anger, she decides to kill those who hurt her. So, she goes to the terrorist building where she will go through with her plan. She is strong minded, but broken. Willing to kill those who hurt her, but softhearted.

Ria: Zoey's roomate. At the beginning of the book, she is thought to be a little mean when she tried to pull Zoey away from the door. Especially when at the lunchroom, she walks away from their normal table and leaves Warner to Zoey. But, in chapter six, we see that she is just as broken as Zoey is, maybe even less so. She wears this mask to hide how she truly feels. In the sixth chapter, she mentions how she can hear her roomate punching the bag and screaming at the top of her lungs, which is why in chapter one she decides to ask Zoey if she was all right.

Matthew: A mysterious man who helps those in need of it. In chapter 3, a letter goes to Zoey, and she finds out that the bastard trying to tell her what to do is the same man who gave her news on her mother. According to Chris, he is very intelligent in the Bible and mentions how he has an excellent teacher and is still learning.

Chris: Someone Zoey may have an interest in, because of how she mentions how disappointed she was when he didn't give her a bone crushing hug she thought he would or even talk to her. He is the person who found her bloodied up on the sidewalk. Though it is unmentioned, he was supposed to be a theif, but was instead turned into someone who was struggling to live up to certain expectations of being a christian and the fact that he is still living with his grandparents. In chapter 4, when Zoey escaped, Chris was sad to see her go and actually was the first one to jump down from the window, while Matthew used the front door. Though he is struggling, he still thinks Zoey needs God in her life. But, he doesn't do it himself because of that struggle, instead, he goes to Matthew. He loves to pray though, and prays long prayers, but mostly because he thinks that if he doesn't do it that way he won't be able to go to heaven.

Aadi: Another person Zoey may have an interest in. He is the son of the General Taper. Never killed anyone and is very uncooridinated and can easily be heard by his loud footsteps. He claims to want to help Zoey and the others to kill his father and end the stupid charade the people in charge are playing. He also claims that his father is planning on making Zoey, because of her miracles return and killing streak, and him wed each other regardless of her past relationship with Kyle.

Kyle: A past lover of Zoey, but he is still in love with her, while she is not in love with him. He attempted to kill her because he thought she was turning on them, and he was drunk because of that reasoning. Because of this, she killed herself so he doesn't get a chance to do it himself. Ever since then he has been depressed, never leaving his room and hardly eating anything. Though it is unmentioned, it is implied that he has had no sleep and cries continuously. A dog who lost it's master, that what she called him, because while they were walking through the halway, he was trailing them like a kicked dog. Through everything he's been through, which is hardly mentioned, he feels abandonment once again. When he figures out that she is planning on killing him, he sets out to make her suffer. Upon a misstep, he overhears Zoey talking to someone about a guy, and by the sound of it, may have interest in, so he sets out to find that person and kill him. Maybe torture him instead.

General Taper: The man who brought Zoey down the path of darkness. He killed her former lover, Prince Roland after she brought back the man's head of who she was trying to protect just to keep the Prince safe from him. After two love failed attempts from Zoey, he is planning on her wedding his son Aadi. Killed Ronald's sister.

Ronald: A guard, which the guards there were planning a rebellion against the terriosts and thought Zoey was on the terrorists side instead of theirs. Despite all of the hostile actions of the other guards due to this assumption, Ronald gives Zoey kindness out of the bottomness of his heart. When Zoey and him meet again, he gained news of his sister killed by General Taper. This upsets him, and only ignites their rebellion further. With Zoey's help, a trained assasian, Ronald can finally get his revenge in action.

The Boss: The main antagonist. He is the head terrorist and asassian, specicfically given the orders to Taper about what to do to Zoey's parents. He orchastrated the attck on Ria's hometown, which led to the seperation between her and her parents.

Mr. Braken: The head guy of the insane facility. He thinks highly of Ria, but lowly of Zoey.

Prince Roland: The prince of an unnamed kingdom, under the command of Mr. Rawkin, one of the underlings of the labled "The Boss". Because he did not do what was requested of him, he was about to be attack, but was saved by Zoey, who was supposed to be Mr. Rawkin's protector. Him and Zoey fell in love not to long after that. Was killed by General Taper in his revenge for what happened.

Mr. Rawkin: An underling of "The Boss". Ruled Prince Roland because "The Boss" conquered his kingdom, but granted him the curtesy of keeping it under conditions. Those conditions are: to follow whatever commands Rawkin gave him. He gives Roland these long tasks under a minimal amount of time, and expects him to fulfill such tasks. It gave him greatest pleasure to pick up the sword of Withers to cut him down, when he didn't fulfill the task, as punishment.

Warner: Thinks lowly of Zoey, beats her up to a pulp whenever she gets the chance. She is the top dog there, and Zoey has not bowed down to her position, so she wanted to prove to her that she is better. She wanted to make Zoey break under her leadership. This lead them to their last fight in the cafeteria where she was taken into a soundproof unbrakable glass cell as her punishment for starting the fight.

Merila: Zoey's favorite nurse. She can not concieve, so she wanted to adopt Zoey, if she was willing. She tries to get Zoey to understand that she is alive and is no longer burning, that she is finally not caged up like she was all her life. That she is free. She comforts her and looks forward to work everyday just for the chance to see her. Her husband cares for her and listens to her talking about her day and her struggles with Zoey, whom she is assigned to.

This book is currently ongoing and more characters will be added, but these are the ones in the book so far.

But, here is part of the prologue to get you interested:

'''At the sound of fellow soldiers coming around the bend, panic and terror fills every inch of the little girl's chocolate brown eyes. Her luxurious locks of black hair fumbles and tosses around playfully in the wind. On her cheeks are water trails coming from the little droplets welling in her eyes. A woman, who is standing right behind her, looks at the teenage girl helping them out with fear and confusion. '''

'''Our breaths came out and in at the same time as a muscular soldier, with a gun, comes running towards his comrades, who are stuck in the bursting flames. Their screams of victory sails into my ears, making me bite my lip in an attempt not to cry at what I am doing. The woman puts a hesitant arm on my camouflage jacket, which has the insignia of the terrorist group that puts me to shame. '''

'''When I turn back to face the little girl, she has her hand touching a locket, identical to the one around my neck, that is safely kept under the folds of her shirt. A small smile appears on my face and she returns it. '''

'''How all of this became my top priority to get these people, the ones that I am to hate, to safety, I do not know. All I do know is that when looking at this girl, she reminds me of me. I hope with all of my heart that she does not end up like an orphan, because it is the worst feeling in the world. '''

'''Its like someone sticks a knife into my chest, nearly hitting my heart, and twists and twists and twists. The pain keeps twisting the wound. Sometimes it closes after a long time of healing, but then another knife plunges into my chest and the wound reopens. I wait for the knife to plunge into my heart and end all of this misery and pain. Unfortunately, it never does. Its torture to feel that knife just sit there, twisting whenever it feels like it until I become a sobbing mess on the ground.'''

'''When I look at this little girl, I do not want that for her future. Never will I just sit here and take a part in ripping this girl's life out of her hands like the people who took mine from me. '''

'''I flinch a little as a hand places itself on top of my head, smoothing my hair. "Gracias amiga!" The woman says with a reassuring smile despite all of her insecurities about me. Who can blame her. I wear the uniform of a group that is burning this town to the ground. All for what? I do not know. ''You're a monster. ''I know. ''You could have walked away from this group years ago, but you never did. ''I know. '''

'''"De nada!" I whisper back. '''

'''The little girl throws her arms around my neck and after a while, I merely pat her hand and smile. She does not speak to me. This experience might cause her to not speak for some time. The only form of communication she gives is a hug or slight body movements, nothing more. '''

'Its good enough for me. '

'You were a part of this, you helped do this to her. ''I know. '''

'You don't deserve her. ''I know. '''

'''Once she releases her arms from around my neck, I nudge them towards the exit so they can escape easily without coming across any danger. They try to get me to follow, but deep down I know that despite what they may think of me...I will always be a monster. '''

'''So I ran as fast as I can run as soon as I hear the unmistakable sound of gunshots screaming in the air. Tears dribble down my cheeks as I remember the way they held my face with caring and loving hands. How the mother kissed my forehead. How the little girl gave me one last look that is similar to the one I wore at that age the night I lost my mother. '''​​​​​​​
