What exactly is a soul mate? Is it someone made just for you and you alone? Somebody who is connected deeply with you and your fates are inner-twined no matter what?

All my life I've grown up surrounded by soul mates and people telling me how they couldn't wait until I found mine and how wonderful it will be. Changing my life forever and sealing my fate to be one filled with love and happiness. I don't believe that and I don't believe that I even need one, because all that's waiting for some is misery.

Everyone is born with a supposed soul mate and a little while after your born your taken to The Well. It sounds pretty weird, but it's a white marble well that's origin is unknown.

You stand on a side of the well with your child and the silvery liquid inside creates the necklace and if you are female it's a lock and a key if you are a male. If one pair happens to be the same gender then Dom has the Key. Every parent is required to take their child. Once it is put on it can't come off unless something happens to you or the other person.

I sighed and stared at my reflection in the mirror. My black hair contrasted against my now pale face and my grey eyes held exhaustion. My eyes trailed down to the ornate lock hanging from my neck before I pulled away from the mirror. I guess a few hours of sleep will have to do for today, because there's no way I can go to sleep now. I rub my eyes and gather my things for the day. After I'm done I grab my clothes and head to the shower stripping as I go and turn the knobs until it's warm before stepping in. All of my troubles seem to temporarily wash away down the drain along with a few shed tears.

I pulled myself together and left the shower knowing I need to start my day.
I did the homework due and killed time packing my things and made a sad face at the clock telling me to go to school. I grabbed my things and slipped out from my bedroom making a short stop
at my sisters closed door. "Goodbye sis," I tell her but like always only silence rung out from the room.

I frowned and continued down the stairs and stepped into the kitchen to grab my breakfast. "Oh honey did you not get any sleep again we really need to find a way to fix that," my mother says bustling over to me to grab my shoulders looking at my tired expression frowning. She sighs at my
lack of response and gives me a brief hug before shoving me into a chair to eat.

She turned back around to finish what she was doing mumbling "it's going to be find she just needs to find her soul mate." My eyes narrowed at her in annoyance but none the less I ate quickly and hurried out the house craving to be alone again.

The walk to school was quiet but the silence was music to my ears as soon I will have to cram into the school for 7 hellish hours. School isn't the place I really want to be. Everyone else had already found their lovers and ridiculed me for refusing to find mine. Our necklaces grown warm when going in the direction of its key/lock. Mine does grown warm but I refuse to go on my journey. I won't get destroyed like she did.......

Finally my feet led me straight
to the hell I call school. I took a deep breath and walked inside.
