"’Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t. You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t. Here in the dark, in this final hour, I will lay down my heart and feel the power if you want. No you won’t. I’ll close my eyes, then I won’t see the love you don’t feel when you’re holding me. Mornin’ will come and I’ll do what’s right.Just give me till then to give up this fight and I will give up this fight."
"File type: delinquent (dead); 17; Dawn Marie Indigo;
An empty house is a painful thing to grow up with, and Dawn Indigo knew the pains of this. With a mother that was constantly in the office and a father that was always on a plane to a different country, she was left alone for most of her life. Her nanny was a Russian woman that could barely speak English and never bothered to get to know her, so she was left to a lonely childhood filled with piano lessons and blank canvases just waiting to be smeared with paint. She saw an electric spectrum of true beauty where others saw black and white, no in between. It was enough to cause her to shut out the world around her and live within her own mind. Her eyes were like high def cameras, saving every little thing to her beautiful mind. Soft hearts break easy, and Dawn was used to her heart cracking continuously, though it hadn’t shattered just yet.
Dawn had been a quiet girl, an innocent, her whole life; from the time that she was just a child up until the day she died, and even after. For Dawn, life wasn’t about the big things in life but more so the small. It was about painting, about playing the piano, about sitting on a park bench in the warmth of the afternoon with her favorite book. It’s the quiet ones that are doomed to fall prey and that’s just what happened to sweet little Dawn, the girl next door. She had never been good at making friends, keeping to herself was her only form of protection from the ones around her, until she met Rayhn. Rayhn was her ultimate downfall, the true delinquent in her situation. A thieving girl that gave her a rush she couldn’t explain was the reasoning for so many of Dawns downfalls, though she would never admit to it.
It all started when Dawn was sixteen and felt the need to impress that beautiful girl whose every imperfection was beautiful. Though she never jumped into the bad crowd completely, she ran with them, and that was her first mistake. Rayhn was interesting, beautiful, full of life and adventure. It was something that Dawn craved, the hopeless romantic in her yearned for a girl that would tear her down to build her own self up. Dawn never broke any laws, but she watched laws get broken on more than one occasion, and her silence about the situation was held down by one simplistic tear in the soul; love. Love, such a small word, and it got her into more uncomfortable situations than she could dare to say out loud. Rayhn liked to mess with Dawns mental state, and so she’d fuck her and leave her, and then repeat; but Dawn couldn’t walk away. She would always tell herself that she was only accepting the love that she deserved, and it was this that got her to go with Rayhn to hit a lick. Dawn never expected Rayhn to leave her there when the cops came, and before she knew it she was being thrown into the back of a cruiser. She never saw Rayhn again.

At Arkeon/How she died:
When Dawn first got to Arkeon she kept to herself, avoiding any and all friendship. She found solitude only in the Library, Music Room, and Art Room. All three being places that those around her would leave her alone. She had only been there for three and a half months when the accident happened, and she had no one to grieve her. Dawn had been walking down the stairs to head to class when she lost her footing and tumbled to the ground, breaking her neck. Without realizing that she was dead, Dawn continued to live her life in Arkeon and counted down the days until she would be leaving; little did she know that leaving was not an option.
