I'm Sophie Shields. At least, that's one of my names...

My whole life has been running. Surviving.

I've only known love once, and it was so fierce that it nearly destroyed me.

He became a part of me.

In this brutal, violent world, he was my only safe place.

But I was afraid. And I lost him. Since then, I've been a shell of a woman. Going through the motions, barely existing.

I thought it was better that way.

Until everything came crashing down. And I realized... I would tear down heaven and earth to get back what I've lost.

I will risk facing the monsters who nearly destroyed me when I was a child, in order to seize justice. No more hiding.

I will risk death, dismemberment, or any sort of pain, if it means making this right...

I know that I'm damaged, and I know that I broke the purest, most beautiful thing I've ever had.

But I'm ready to fight. I'm ready to heal.

I'll do whatever it takes to mend my mistakes, if it isn't too late...
