She had seen more then anyone would ever wish to see in one lifetime. She was what would soon become a savior, yes. Yet, at first she was just a broken girl, lost and alone. A girl who wanted to be saved, without the pity involved. She wanted the hole she dug herself to begone. She wanted someone to care. Was that too much to ask?
