A wise man once told me, "Every story has a journey, and every journey has a beginning."

Like all good stories, mine is about a girl.

My first real taste of love and happiness.

My first real taste of hate and misery.

I was sent to a hellish place where even the best of days were shrouded in darkness. I barely made it out, crawling and clawing my way through that house of horrors.

Now, eight years later, guess who strolls into my party—into my house—out of the fucking blue? The girl. Journey Ward.

I want to punish her.

I want her to suffer the way I have.

I want to hurt her. I want her to hurt with me.

My name is Kelton Kincaid and this is my Journey. And it begins with vengeance.
