Chapter 1: Prologue and Entrance.
AN: Caley (Irish name meaning "brave warrior"/ I've been pronouncing it like kah-lee) This is a Beorn/OC fanfic. I hope you enjoy! I may use more of the book version of Beorn - or a mix of the movie/book version. Beorn will arrive in chapter 2. Maybe by then I will have made up my mind. Caley's look is kind of goth-chic. ( Black combat boots, blue jeans, white tank top, Biker jacket, earrings (rhinestone) Dragon pendant necklace. long black hair. pink glitter fingernail polish, dark eyeliner/mascara and pink lipgloss. she has pale skin and honey brown eyes. she is 6'2'' and weighs around 250 pounds. I pre-apologize for all mistakes in this chapter. I hope you can forgive me. I enjoyed writing this and hope the next chapter will be good too. Thanks for reading it!
Cold rain hit the window of Caley's car as she drove up the mountain roads.
Today had not been good at all for her. She received bad news all morning.
When she woke up she received a text from her "supposed" boyfriend. The
three month relationship was just a joke and he was 'sorry' for any hurt feelings
he caused but he couldn't keep it up anymore. She replied back "That is okay,
I understand. Good luck in life."
She burnt her breakfast and the smell resulted in her father waking up and
yelling at her with many insults. Home was not home to her. It never was.
Home was supposed to be a place of love and acceptance. She grew up in
fear and rejection. She was scared of her father. He always seemed angry or
very cold and distant to her. Her mother had left when she was around five.
Later that morning Caley received an email that stated university she applied
to had denied her. The resulting action of learning that news: accidentally
spilling her morning juice directly onto her laptop.
"Great." She rubbed her eyes, trying to hold back the tears.
She went to work around 1pm. Her boss met her at the door and was shuffled
into a backroom where a few other employees were sitting. Guess who got
fired on top of everything else going wrong that day? It was not entirely her
fault. Business wasn't going that well and the boss decided that it was cheaper
to keep a few people as staff, and the others he could let go. Caley was in the
'let go' group.
"This day sucks beyond reason." Caley said to herself as she turned in her
workroom locker key and name tag. She looked big and strong, but inside she
felt fragile. Like a mirror one crack away from crumbling to a thousand pieces.
So the only thing she knew to do was go be with nature. She had tried to hold
the tears back but a few had slipped by as she drove up the mountain.
She shut the car off and got out. She put her biker jacket on, grabbed her
messenger bag and headed to the trail. Caley pulled out a hair band and put
up her long black hair. She grabbed her camera from her bag as she walked
towards the mountain forest. It was raining but the mountains misty effect
looked wonderful in pictures. She knew she was alone and could cry and yell if
she wanted too. She could feel free to be herself up here. No one would
notice or even care if she just spent her whole weekend up in the mountains.
Caley began to walk through the trail, still crying, until something caught her
eye. It was a faint flicker of light. She slowly approached it. It seemed like
sunlight hitting the tree barks around her. That was impossible because it was
raining. Caley raised her hand to touch the lights. As she did she noticed the
trees felt different. She took her phone out to take a picture of it.
Then it hit her.
The rain and clouds are gone. She was dry. Two seconds ago she and
everything around her was drenched with rain. Now it looked like a beautiful
autumn day. She looked down at the ground and noticed the trail was gone. All
the trees looked different than those before. She looked at her phone and
there was no service. She decided to walk forwards. Hopefully she would end
up at a road sooner or later. She felt so awkward. She had walked the nature
trail hundreds of times. This was the first time she had ever gotten lost.
Atleast she was somewhat prepared. In her messenger bag she had a bottle of
water, her phone charger, her favorite book, some crackers, a sketch pad and
pencils, headphones and a few makeup items.
She had been walking for about 3 hours and it was getting dark. There was no
sign of a new trail or road. Suddenly in the quietness of the forest there was a
rustling.
Caley froze.
To her left side she heard a low growl. She hesitated but finally looked over.
It was then the beast jumped out. Caley was so frightened she could not move
nor scream.
