Before she remembered Keith

Every story has a beginning, a middle and an ending. Happy endings are hard work, they aren't just given to you. Izzy understood this lesson. She knew that everything was connected, everything was alive. The air that you breathe, the land that you walk on, it was all part of you. If you are alive, then so are the things you touch. Dino explained to the young girl, how life is circular. Time is endless but it follows the same path. If time travels in circles, then it must repeat. Izzy was new to the world. Sometimes, the universe introduces something new. Dino, an old soul, hoped that Izzy had been brought to his world for a reason, to help him save his brother Keith. Izzy was an empath. She wasn't aware of the power she could wield but she had a strong desire to help others and great kindness in her heart. Her story's beginning was not a happy one. Keith had introduced himself to her in the most violent way that a man can meet a woman, raping her. She was only fourteen years old. He had violated her in a random act, desperate for money to supply his need for a fix. Without knowing the identity of each other, they fell in love. Keith had sought help when faced with what he had done. With the help of his brother he slowly turned his life around. Izzy learned of her abilities, she was able to forgive the stranger because she could feel his agony. As she slowly realized who Keith was, she realized there was a reason. Izzy knew that life was random, but the universe had order. Their paths were meant to cross. They could save each other. True love is being able to know the darkest side of the person that you love, accept dark with the light and be strong. Izzy was the strongest person Dino had ever known. He hoped to God she could save his brother. Izzy could see all the colors and draw the dark ones out from inside of a person. Dino prayed that it was enough, he had grown weary throughout time in his efforts to save his brother but his heart wouldn't let him stop trying.
