Protected
"I swore to protect her. She trusted me." In one fateful moment, both promises were destroyed. Will they ever find each other again?
Allison captured Tyler. He was a player and yet in one blow, she rocked him from confidence. When Tyler joins the Marines, he assures Allison he will never leave her. Someone else had other plans. Now, with Tyler's world crashing down around him and Allison's a horror filled dream, he must protect, not for the physical safety, but for the honor of the one he loves. Will he destroy himself in the process? Will Allison even trust him if he succeeds?
Protected began as an interest in two people liking each other yet not being able to communicate. The original idea was the people sitting across the street or park and having a tree where they exchanged letters. Which then of course led me to the why which brought about the premise.
I started this In December 2009 with emotions raging from a horse's death who had taught me a lot. I needed to be alone. The only way I knew how was to seep myself into writing. That I did. And it turned my sadness into joy. Out of death, I created life. Yes, it is ink life. Protected was done within 2ish months. Then I began to type. When I was halfway through, I printed and edited all that I had. A that point, I came to the realization.
My main character was dull and wrong. And the story line was backwards. Back to the drawing board. Or was it? I sat down at my computer and started typing. The same characters but with more personality, the same plot, but shifted. The original piece was decent but dull. This new one was risky, and dramatic. Protected finally found it's full life potential.
