Chapter One
I was walking through the forest. I saw my grandma's house in the distance. What was I? Red Riding Hood? I walked past the house-okay so no grandma. I turned only to see my friends, Avalon, Cammie, and March. They were screaming my name, Violet. I wanted to ask what was wrong, but I couldn't move. All of a sudden I hear an alarm I – wait…alarm?
"VIOLET!" screamed Avalon. My eyes snapped open and I sat up on my bed. "What?" I hissed back. "You were screaming in your sleep! And now we're late!" replied Avalon. "Ugh... Late for what?" I manage. Avalon rolled her eyes, "Remember? March is taking us to the mall!" Oh, that's why I can't sleep peacefully? Avalon threw me some clothes and ran downstairs. Let me introduce myself. I am Violet Armalion, fifteen and living here in Chicago. That's all you need to know so far. I finished putting my clothes on and went downstairs. "Hey Aval- Cammie?" I asked, surprised. "Oh, Hi! Avalon dragged me here" Cammie said shyly. "Here" Avalon said while shoving me a bagel with cream cheese. "Where are you all coming from?" I asked with my mouth full of my bagel. "We knew you were going to sleep in, so we came to wake you up!" Cammie explained. "Geez, I feel so loved" I said sarcastically.
I grabbed my IPod, phone, and bag. "Let's go!" Avalon said, while pushing Cammie out. We went outside and guess who was there? March. "Hey guys! My parents want to drop us off so let's go" March said. You might be wondering where my parents are. Well the truth is I don't actually know my real parents. My "mom" Hayden was at work, so how did Avalon and Cammie come into my house? March told us what stores we should go into and stuff like that. When we got to the mall, a shiver went down my spine. I felt like someone was watching me so I turned, no one. "You okay?" Avalon asked. I didn't reply last time this happened I was right. "OMG! Look cute shoes!" March said and dragged Cammie with her to the store. "Are you sure you didn't see anyone with a gun?" asked Avalon with a grin. "Yeah, it's probably nothing..." I said. Avalon nodded and we followed March and Cammie.
After about three or more hours of shopping we decided to eat. March kept talking about the "cute" shoes she bought. We got our food and settled down. "Vi, you should get a haircut!" March suggested. "Over my dead body", was my reply. I dint have a problem with my wavy black-brownish hair. "But, we cou-" someone interrupted March. I looked put to see the "preppy squad" from school. The red-head said, "HI!" "What do you want?" growled Cammie. "We just wanted to say hi" said a stick skinny girl. "Whatever" I said and walked out of the mall. Last time they talked to us I well did…something. Let's just say the police weren't nice. Don't judge me by that though.
Avalon, March, and Cammie followed me out. "What the hell?" Cammie said and turned to me. "Sorry, I was already getting annoyed and I wanted to kick their as-" I started when Avalon said, "Remember what happened last time?" We decided to wait for March's parents to show up. "What, now?" March said obviously bored. That's when I saw a shadow that belonged to no one. I did a quick 360 check of the parking lot. I had a feeling the shadow was following us. "What?" Avalon asked and stood by me. She was the only who knew I had super freaky senses. "I think we have a personal stalker" I said. "Stalker?" March said interested. I ignored her and walked toward the park across the street. I saw the shadow again. "You coming?" I asked March and Cammie. "Wait, where are we going? My mom's not here yet!" March complained. I turned around and smacked into a tree-no wait it was someone.
"Sorry" I mumbled to the guy in front of me. The guy was taller than me the same age as us, fifteen. He was wearing all black; he had jet black hair, and onyx eyes. He was staring at me with an expressionless face. "Hi!" March said. She always was boy crazy…this is not going to end well. The guy nodded but kept staring at me. I felt like he was inspecting my soul, creepy much? "Um... we should uhh… get going" Cammie said. Avalon dragged me down the side walk as the others followed. "Hey! Wait!" emo boy said. He walked toward us, again. "This is uh... going to sound...umm...creepy but, what's your name?" he said. "What's yours?" I snapped. "uh..Nico di Angelo" he said. I looked at Avalon she shrugged. "My name is March, she is Cammie and that's Avalon and she-" Nico cut her off. "I wasn't asking you" he said. Ouch, March looked surprised and stepped back. Why does March keep on being interrupted by someone? "Uh... it's Violet" I said and walked back to the parking lot.
