Prologue

"Stay right here, Cassandra." Mom was the last person to call me by my real name.

She liked fancy names, so I ended up having one.

"Wait for me, I'll be back to pick you up after school ends, " she told me, "do not go elsewhere." Normal mother-daughter talk, right?

Those were her last words to me before driving off, leaving me to go to school. Little did I know, her intentions were entirely divergent.

Never once have I seen her after.
