Chapter 1
The woods. Why is she in the woods? She continued walking. And then she saw the old man that's been hunting her in her dreams. She started running. 'Dad! Where are you?' she thought to herself. She ran faster and then suddenly she found herself upside down. She tried to remember the spell that her father taught her. 'Damn! What was it?' she started fidgeting around fearing that the old man might see her. Too late. He saw her and is fast approaching. And then suddenly, he's gone. She breathed deeply. 'He's gone'. Then she felt a sudden pain in her back. She heard the familiar voice of the man, telling her the same thing over and over again.
Don't tell.
Siobhan O'Malley suddenly bolted up and saw her stuff floating. She snapped her fingers and everything went back to its own proper places. That dream again. Every single night, she's being hunted by that dream. She touched her back. And there it was. The scar. She shouldn't have been surprised. Every time she dreamed that dream and she woke up there's always a scar. She looked at the clock. 6:00 am. Ugh! First day of school, she thought to herself. She stood up and started getting ready.
Lena Gallagher stood at the bus stop waiting for her best friend, Danny Jones. She started playing with her hair when someone grabbed her from behind. "AHHH! Danny put me down, please!" she half-yelled at Danny. "Oooh, I see the forbidden hummingbird tattoo!" he teased her and touched it. "Danny! You're tickling me! Stop it!" she smacked him on the head. "Ow! Woman that hurts!" Danny retorted. "Anyway, I want to introduce you to someone, Lena, this is Tom Fletcher. He just moved here and we're on music camp way back then. Tom this is Lena Gallagher, my best friend."
Siobhan walked to the bus stop and she saw three people at it. She started to go back at her house but then thought about it. She saw the brunette guy put his arms around the petite, brunette girl. These are my kind of people, she thought to herself. She started playing with her charm bracelet. Should I talk to them? Uh, probably not. They're busy. She went to the bench and sat down.
Lena did everything she can to have her mouth stay close. OH. MY. FREAKING. GOD! He's hot! She thought. Tom shook her hand and she almost melt by the touch. "Hi, Lena. It's nice meeting you." Tom must've been at least 6' flat or 6'1" with brown eyes and very cute and deep dimple on his left. He also looks fit and when she shook her hand he can saw a bicep flexing in it. "Uh, hi, Tom. Nice meeting you, too." She started focusing on anything other than Tom when she saw the blonde girl sitting on the bench with her earphones so loud that she can hear Alejandro by Lady Gaga playing. She pulled Danny beside her and walked over to the girl. She waved in front of the girl and waited for her to take of her earphones and said, "Hi! You must be new. I'm Lena Gallagher. This is Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher." The girl stood up and, man, is she pretty. The girl pushed a bit of hair on her face showing of her blue eyes. "Hi. I'm Siobhan O'Malley. You can call me Sibby or Sio if you like."
Siobhan looked at the threesome standing at her. The girl looks cute. She's on the short side but still cute with her green eyes and all. She looked at the blonde guy and saw the dimple. Awww… she thought. And then she looked at the brunette guy. The one she saw carrying Lena, earlier. He's got these blue eyes that you can drown on, a friendly smile and a lean, muscular body. She can feel her hair rising from behind. STOP! "So, where are you from UK or something? Because, you know, of the accent", Lena asked. "Yes, I am. My father got transferred here", she replied with a smile. "That's why you're pale!" Tom said and then blushed a bit of what he said. They all laughed. "Haha, yes that's why I'm pale", and then the bus arrived. They all got into it and continued chatting on their way there.
Stephanie Wright looks at the girl beside her. She frowned. Fuck! Seriously, how can you listen to that girly voiced Justin Bieber? So disgusted at the moment. She stood up and went inside the classroom. Where is he, anyway? "Hey, babe! Good morning!" Dougie Poynter, her boyfriend, greeted her and kissed her. She wants to be mad, seriously she does, for he kept her waiting but she couldn't. He always makes her forget about anything that pisses her off. "Good morning to you, too" she smiled. "Why were you frowning?" he asked. "Because I heard a fucking Bieber song and it is now hurting my head. And you made me wait." She replied. "Aw, sorry about that babe. Woke up a bit late. And about that fucking Bieber song you're saying… Give the guy a break", he smiled and started nuzzling her neck. Just then, Harry Judd entered the room. "Guys, please get a room", he said jokingly. Stephanie blushed and moved away from Dougie a bit.
"So have you guys heard that there are two new students, a girl and a boy, here at Brookedale High? "Harry asked them. "How'd you know that?" Stephanie asked. Seriously, the guy knows everything. Who's dating whom? Who got knocked up by whom and all those things. "The girl and her dad moved into the house next to ours. And Danny told me that the guy was his bunkmate at music camp." "I didn't know that Danny went to music camp", Dougie said. The two looked at him. "How can you not know that he went to music camp?" Stephanie asked. "Aren't you like one of his best friends?" "I guess I doze off when he mentions it?" he answered and looked at Harry. Harry nodded. "Yeah, he dozes off", he said with a laugh.
"Oh, wow, this is so different from my old school." Siobhan looked at the Brookedale High. It's very modernized. Unlike her old school that is an old castle. She can feel being a Caster at her school. But in here… She can be like a normal girl. She looked at Lena, Tom and Danny. Tom is also looking at it with his mouth in a small gape. "This is so cool", she heard him whisper.
This is going to be awesome. For once, she can start fresh. And maybe the dreams will stop too.
A/N: Finally! I'm able to write this!
