I always told myself that I would get out when I finally had enough. After four years of an emotionally abusive relationship, I was beginning to think that I'd let him control me forever. Besides, he only ever got violent once before. And I believed him when he swore he didn’t mean it.

Then came the night when he… he snapped. In a haze of fury, he attacked me with a knife and I finally found the strength to fight back. Leaving him for dead, I grabbed my keys and ran.

I've been running ever since.

He found me, just like I knew he would—because I didn’t kill him, though I know he’ll kill me the second he gets the chance. He found me, and there was nowhere left to run—so, instead, I jumped. Through an antique mirror and into a world I never even dreamed existed.
