It’s been months since the day we stood above that empty grave that stunk of burnt flesh and secrets. All of us were dressed to the nines, one of us wearing a wedding dress, a day that was supposed to mark the beginning of a new adventure.<br />It marked the bitter end of our vengeance.<br />We have done things that have marked our souls for eternity.<br />But before we get there, we have to go back.<br />Back to where it all started. <br />The place I could find in my sleep.<br />Hollow Heights University in the macabre, somber seaside town of Ponderosa Springs.<br />A college for prestigious, wealthy children to receive the highest education. A town drowning in treachery and secrets that became our damnation.<br />But it wasn’t the forest surrounding the grounds or even the mysterious hidden mausoleum that haunted me.<br />It was them.<br />The ones that lurked in the night, things so wicked, so twisted, so evil, they would become the rulers of my nightmares.<br />The Hollow Boys.<br />One wrong move and I landed myself directly in their line of fire.<br />This is not a story about love, it is not a story of happy endings.<br />Love just happened to blossom in our sorrows, in our pain, our fear, our blood.<br />Every terrible thing they ever did, we watched, we helped, we loved them anyway.<br />Some run from their monsters, we fell in love with ours.
