No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Abandoned In A Fire

A fire broke out, and it quickly spread across the entire room.

Jane Fowler collapsed to the ground, motionless, her body racked by coughing fits from inhaling the thick smoke. Her eyes welled up with tears as she fought for air.

The ash that covered her face and her disheveled hair was not enough to hide the natural and unspoiled beauty of her features.

She was under the influence of something because she was paralyzed and couldn’t move a muscle while wondering when exactly she was drugged.

“Jane, gosh, you look disastrous,” Madelyn Fowler said as she approached, wearing a gas mask.

She was kneeling next to Jane, and from her white dress and gentle tone, she seemed like a sweet, innocent little girl.

Or at least, that was Jane’s long–held belief.

“Did you drug me, Madelyn?” Jane cried out, her expression one of shock and disbelief.

Jane just couldn’t wrap her head around the idea that her sweet, innocent sister could be capable of such vile acts.

“It’s just a test, Jane,” Madelyn replied, removing her gas mask to reveal a sly grin. “I’m interested to see if our family would believe more in you or me when they see this.”

Madelyn then placed her gas mask on Jane’s face and smeared a bit of ash on her own cheeks.

Then, with a gloved hand, she pulled a small knife from her pocket and deliberately sliced open her own arm. The wound was gushing with blood.

Madelyn tossed the knife aside and took off her gloves, which she then slid onto Jane’s paralyzed hands. After that, Madelyn clenched her injured arm and yelled at the top of her lungs, portraying an expression of pure terror.
