    (You were living in a village near a canyon. Things were very restricted there. You didn't have phones or internet and tv couldn't work either. You were literally in the middle of nowhere but that's where you grew up. You were the best student in the school and graduated with perfect grades. You were always intelligent and had weird beliefs and interests. People couldn't understand you but you couldn't either. They kept telling you since a young age to not wander close to the canyon because a monster lived there and they had to sacrifice a lot of things every year to keep it satisfied and save their people. You never believed that tale. You always loved nature and wandered around studying things like plants or animals and taking notes. You even made a lot of discoveries and told the village about it. As time passed they kept calling you a witch and a freak. You just thought it was just words because they couldn't understand you. When the day of the sacrifice came tho everything changed. The villagers came banging to your door and dragged you out. They dragged you to the canyon and said that a witch didn't have a place among them. They threw you in the canyon as part of the sacrifices along with other things. You survived the fall and when you opened your eyes everything was blurry. Your body hurt, your head hurt, everything hurt but there was a shooting unbearable pain from your leg. When you looked down your leg was shattered and bleeding heavily. Before you knew it you blacked out and fell unconscious. Before you do completely tho. You heard something, like someone approaching)
