This is my first chapter of my first story, I hope you all like and if you don't I'd still be glad to read your constructive criticism. :D ( I'm new at this so don't judge me to harshly)
A New Beginning
Chapter One: Again?
It's a new beginning, as my mother defined it. We were moving… again. Instead of
moving to a large city, we were moving to a little town called Bathory.
"Mom, I really don't want to move again." I said.
"I'm not changing my mind, we're moving."
"But Mom, I've just started to make new friends and fit in somewhere for once in my
life, I don't want to be the lone freak show again!" I complained.
"Jenna your not a freak show."
"My names not Jenna Mom, It's Luna."
I named you Jenna and that's what I'm going to call you."
"But it's so normal."
"That's your name."
"I don't care."
"Go finish packing."
"Fine." I stomped off towards my room to finish packing. Parents always say you can talk
to them about anything, but sometimes you can't. When your mad about something-
(Example; Moving away for the millionth time.)-They sometimes get angry because
you're yelling at them and then the next thing you know you're grounded for a week
because you threw a "fit" as my mother liked to call it. I'm the freaky Goth girl, the
school I'm at or know was at, actually had a bunch of Goths. It was a month or two
before they accepted me since I was new to the school and I was a mystery, it felt nice to
belong. After I finished packing, I headed towards the front door.
"Make sure you don't forget anything." my mother called from her room.
"I won't!" I yelled back. I walked outside to my Mom's SUV and waited for her to unlock
the doors. I glanced at my watch.
"How long does it take to pack a few clothes?" I mumble to myself.
"Are you already to go?" My Mom asked.
"Yeah, I guess." I hopped into the car. As soon as my Mom turned the key in the
ignition, I opened my bag and pulled out my Evanescence CD and slid in onto the
stereo. I went to track twelve, Whisper. I had been told I was a good singer, so I sang
along to the song.
"Catch me as I fall,
Say you're here and it's all over now,
Speaking to the atmosphere,
No ones here and I fall into myself,
This truth drives me into madness!
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away,
If I will it all away!
Don't turn away!
Don't give into the pain,
Don't-" My mother turned off my music.
"Why'd you turn off my music?" I asked
"Why don't we listen to something more…classical?"
"Because classical music sucks, but that's just my opinion."
"Your music is filled with a lot of screaming weirdo's-"
"Thanks a lot Mom!" I pulled out my I pod and played the music I liked, Like
Bullet For My Valentine, Black Veil Brides, Nightwish, Evanescence, and Breaking Benjamin.
We Drove for hours, just when I thought I'd take over the steering wheel, we parked in
A drive way of an average three story house.
"Well were here." My Mom announced.
"Isn't the house a little big for just two people?"
"That's the point your father is paying for it." Evil, I liked it. I gave my mom an
approving smile. I flung open the door, the people my Mom paid started to move the
furniture inside placing in where my Mom told them to. Before she moved my
furniture I picked what room I wanted, it was a large room with dark gray walls, a
morbid room for a morbid girl. I smiled. I saw two large white framed glass doors, I
walked over to them. I had a balcony! How awesome was that? After for what seemed
like an eternity, I walked down stairs and laid on the couch. Drifting off into a much
needed sleep.
"Jen-Luna, you got to get up it's your first day of a new school."
"Kay. Wait- what? Did you just call me Luna?" I sat up.
"That's your name isn't it?"
"…Um, yeah, I just didn't expect that from you Mom."
"Do you want to go see your room?"
"Yeah, I'm going to go get changed."
"Alright." I walked up stairs to my room, I would have to arrange a few pieces of
furniture, but overall it was good. I looked in my closet that actually fit all my clothes
and shoes! I was loving Bathory more and more every minute! I got dressed. I wore my
black torn skinny jeans, vintage red Doc martens, along with my black corset and
mesh t-shirt underneath along with my studded choker and studded cuffs. I was
putting on my bullet belt, when my Mom came in.
"What are you doing in my room?"
"I just came to give you something."
"What is it?" she opened a black velvet box and inside were a pair of metal coloured
skull earnings.
"They're so morbid! I love them, thanks Mom." I hugged her and grabbed the box.
switching my old earrings with my new ones.
"You're welcome."
"These are so cool." I glanced at my clock.
"Ah, crap I'm gonna be late." I shrieked. I grabbed my black laptop style back pack and
ran out the door.
"See you later Mom!" I yelled, opening the front door. This is something I never
thought I'd say. I'm glad I live near my school. I ran down the street as fast I could, the
school was only a few more minutes away. I bumped into someone. I didn't look up at
them. My heart raced, I grabbed by backpack, gathering my books.
"Vlad, don't."A male voice cautioned.
"Are you okay?-" The boy named Vlad asked.
"I'm sorry." I said, I picked up my bag and I bolted off down the street, not looking back
at whoever I ran into. I stoppted a few meters away from school grounds and pulled
out my medication. Well, the thing is that when my heart races, my blood increases
dramatically, so if I don't take them I'd probably… die. I took my pills, I waited a
few minutes for the pills to take affect. When the pills started to take affect I walked
through the large doors of Bathory High.
