Chapter 1: The Awakening
Drea sat on the floor, her tear-streaked face buried in her hands. Empty wine bottles and takeout containers littered the floor around her, evidence of the hours she had spent wallowing in her own sorrow. She felt the weight of her broken heart crushing her, and she couldn't shake off the feeling of loneliness.
As she sat there, lost in her own thoughts, she heard a faint whispering in her ear. At first, she thought she was going crazy, and she shook her head trying to clear her mind, but the whispering persisted. She tried to ignore it and focus on her sorrows, but as the hours passed and her throat got dryer, she stood up and made her way to the kitchen.
She reached for a glass on the counter and filled it with water from the faucet, but as she reached for it, her hand slipped, and the glass fell to the ground shattering into pieces. Drea bent down to pick up the broken glass, but as she did, she accidentally cut her finger on one of the shards. She put her finger to her mouth to stop the bleeding, and as she tasted the metallic tang of blood, something inside her shifted.
The room around her seemed to spin and blur, and she felt a new energy surging through her. She felt strong and powerful like she could take on the world. The voice in her head grew louder and clearer, it wasn't her thoughts anymore. It was as if someone else had taken control. She closed her eyes and tried to shake off the feeling, but when she opened her eyes again, it was too late. Gene. Has. Awaken.
