When Darkness Falls
Prologue:
I could start off by saying that life is such a bore. But truly, it isn't. It's filled with surprising twists and turns, friends and foes…and much, much more. My life started off just as normal as any teenager's. Until the day those two boys entered my class. My name is Miranda Lynch. That's actually not even my real name, but I dare not expose too much of my personal information out to the world. I did though, decide to post up my story to aware you- to aware you of all the dark creatures that roam our Earth, and the good. It all began on the 24th of August, first day of 8th grade, the beginning of a new start, and possibly new friends…
Chapter 1- The New Strangers
It was an ominous cloudy day in Chicago. I was just beginning to get ready for school. You can just imagine all the emotions that filled inside me. Excitement- for I was going to see my friends, Nerves- that plastered my heart that I'd forget my supplies or possibly even my clothes! And let's not forget Fear- fear on who I'd get stuck seating with for a good majority of the year! *sigh* "There's really no point in moping around my room." I spoke out loud. I took one last look at me poster filled room, and walked downstairs to the kitchen. "Morning ma" I took a seat at the breakfast bar and took a bite of toast. "Hey sweetie- are you ready for your first day?" "In a way. It's just; the boys make school so annoying. They really have no clue when to shut their mouths up."
"It's always been the same mija, boys will be surely boys!" "Yea I guess so. Well, I should be on my way now. I wanna get there early." "Okay hun, have a great day!" She kissed me on the forehead as I grabbed my bag. "Bye!" "And be have!" She added as I closed the door behind me. Ahhhh parents! The street I lived in was named Irving. It was a small quiet street. You hardly hear kids around or anybody at all. The neighbors just kept to themselves. I strolled around the corner towards my school. Ha- my school! It was a private school- you can imagine the rules there! Uniform, no jewelry, and some strict crude teachers. Teachers just didn't get us kids. Yea they were our age a long time ago, but back then- times were so different. They didn't have all these cool technology like in our generation. And we're supposedly "rude"- really? They make it seem like it's the worst thing in the world, hey we're not taking drugs or any of that, we're just openingly speaking our minds. My mind at this point- was completely full on how this year would be completely diffirent. I could just feel it.
At last I arrived. There was no one who passed me by, no cars, no nothing. I was used to that. But what I wasn't used to- were those two boys up ahead who were standing in the 8th grade line. One of the two looked nicer and sweet, the other, looked like a straight up bad boy. I had to admit though- he was cute. I kept my eyes on the floor, avoiding the two. But it didn't actually work. The one that looked like a bad boy turned around and spoke directly to me.
"Hey, what grade are you in?" His voice was a captivating deep one. Not so deep like he sounded like a grown man; but a clear crisp voice. I tore my eyes from the floor and locked glances with him. My eyes had a mega feast! His eyes were a deep deep deep brown, and his smile was a sincere gentle one despite his bad boy look. He also had those vampire teeth that girls always died for.
"Uhh 8th grade you?"
"Yea us too." He looked towards his friend.
"Soo...I'm Steve Leonard." He said sticking out his hand. I shook it, and was about to speak, but my mind went blank. I don't mean I couldn't find words to say, I meant literally BLANK. I felt like I was carried into a dazed dream- I saw small glimpses of what seemed like a war- two boys were facing each other- blood splattered their shirts- revenge filled their eyes. I could sense desperate cries of men and women all around me. Somehow I was the center of it all- Could this be an insight into the future? Could this be what MY future has in store?
