Chapter 1. 'I'm just so tired.' I thought, its 6:30 a.m, and I'm not ready to go to school. Just as I fell back asleep, my alarm went off. Startled, it made me jump, sending me off my bed and on the floor. "Ugh!" I screamed. Today is not off to a good start. I got up and went to the bathroom. I just dyed my hair black. It was straight and up to my shoulders. I brushed my hair out, brushed my teeth and put on my make-up. Or as my dad says: 'facepaint.' I put on my black tights, boots, skirt and shirt. Today was going to reach 80º, typical. As I ran downstairs my mom stopped me. "What?" "You're not going to school." "Why?!" "I'm taking you to the airport. Maybe living with your dad will get you out of this 'gothic stage'." "What! That easy?" "I promised I wouldn't get carried away." "I'm not gothic... I-I just like black." "Well, thats the problem. When I let you design your room, you turned it into like, a black stage." "And?" "Your bags are packed, lets go." She was getting really angry. "No!" "Come on!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me to the van, and went back to get my bags. I was just about to cry... I had to handle myself. "Oh, don't cry. Atleast I'll be free." "Shut up and lets go!" Here comes my attitude. I'm not sorry about it either. The drive was relaxing. I calmed down alot. "Okay, grab your bags, lets go." My mom is blond, skinny and acts like shes all that. She likes pink too much. I see why. She likes Calvin Klien, I love Ed Hardy. Im the opposite of her. Huh, I understand. *** I was on the plane. Sitting all alone. I shut all the shades so it was nothing but darkness. I dont like the light, it hurts my eyes. 5 minutes later the plane-person-guy-thing, announced the saftey rules. "Remember you can use your seat cushion to float-" Blah, blah, blah! I heard it all before. 15 minutes later, we took off. In 2 hours I'll be in Las Vegas, Nevada. I took out my I-pod touch and turned on Evanescene: Everybodys Fool. I turned it up and cracked the shade a little, so I could somewhat see the ground. I got so wrapped up in the song I guess I fell asleep... *** "Hello?" A crow cawed, well a scream actually. I jumped "huh!" Where am I? It's all eerie and cloudy. I was in the woods. I walked about 5 minutes, then I reached a gate. A cemetery gate. Opening the gate came with a loud creek. "Serena... Go away!" A low grumbling voice said. Was it a threat? Was I a threat? "What?" "You dont belong here." Same voice, but a low growl. Whatever. I continued to walk in the graveyard. There were alot of graves, but one particular one on top of the hill, caught my eye. It started to get a little breezy. I slowly kneeled down to whip of the grave. It was really dusty. 'Katey Grey.' My mom? My mom is not dead though. Wait. Today is March 25, 2010. Apparently my mom 'died' on April 1, 1994. My birthday... Suddenly something pushed me down the hill. A figure, all dressed in black, long hair stood by my moms grave. "Serena, you shouldnt be here." " A-Are you my mom?" "Serena. You have to leave." I looked at her, she had red eyes. I couldnt see her face. "What? Stop!" Something pinned me down. I picked my head up, but she was gone. Next thing I know, there was a high wind. It felt like I was pinned down in the middle of a very strong tornado. I felt a strain or shot of adreniline hit my body. I felt strong enough to shoot out of the 'trap.' I was floating at the top of the tornado. "Dont touch me!" It sounded like there was some kind of demon in me, but I heard my voice too. The wind stopped and I shot down and walked away. I felt like I had a lot of courage, like I won a fight. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have landed in Las Vegas-" "Huh!" I jumped. Was I dreaming? It felt so real. I dont know. That was weird. I grabbed my bags and rushed off the plane. "Hey Serena!" I turned but, no one was there. "Huh, whatever." I walked a couple more feet. "Did you say something?" Turned around again. No one. It must be in my head. I went to the check-in desk. "Serena?" "Yes sir." "Your dad couldnt make it so he dropped off your car." He handed me a key ring. Sweet! "Thank you." I walked to the parking lot. "Uh, maybe these keys should point me out?" I clicked the panic botton, and the car alarm went off. I eventually found my car. "Uh. No way! Wow!" I screamed. Be back soon when I post chapter 2...XD xoxo, Cherry....XD
ok, this idea is really neat. to make it easier to read tho' you could put double space in between paragraphs. also, you have to put in a new paragraph when someone new is speaking, or when a new idea comes up. it would also help if you identified the speaker. theres an example at the bottom. EXAMPLE As I ran downstairs my mom stopped me. "What?" I asked. "You're not going to school." She said plainly. and... I was floating at the top of the tornado. "Dont touch me!" It sounded like there was some kind of demon in me, but I heard my voice too. The wind stopped and I shot down and walked away. I felt like I had a lot of courage, like I won a fight. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have landed in Las Vegas-" "Huh!" I jumped. Was I dreaming? It felt so real. I dont know. That was weird. beyond that, is this a fanfic, or an original? if it doesnt have any characters from someone elses work, then its an original and in the wrong section.
