Chapter .1 –Kidnap

Jade felt like she was being watched. Like there was someone, or something there. Something following her. Something staring at her. She felt this thing was studying her every move. She carried on walking to school, feeling very self conscious about herself. She just hated this feeling, no privacy for herself.

The first thing she had to do when she finally got to school was to get her P.E kit. When she got to her locker she was still feeling self aware about herself so nervously and shakily slotted the key in the slot and turned it slowly. When the locker was open she grabbed her P.E kit quickly, quite a contrast to the slow turning of the key. She turned the key back to its usual locking position, pulled it out hastily and walked to P.E, always checking behind her back every few steps she took.

She changed in to her P.E kit slowly, much more time than the rest of the class who all laughed at how she was acting today. About a minute later she noticed that every one of her class mate had left for P.E, and she was still getting dressed. When she finally got outside to join the rest of her class, she saw they had all started already, leaving the teacher glaring at her for being late, but this glare was nothing compared to the one she was receiving from the something watching her.

'Excuse me Jade, your Twenty minutes late, everyone is halfway through the exercise and you have only just got out, I'll be seeing you Monday lunchtime' The P.E teacher, Mrs Jackson ordered, making sure her directions were very clear.

'OK' Jade answered, not bothered by the sudden detention she just got, she had much bigger things to worry about.

During her English lesson her head was always snapping round to see behind herself. Her face was always fixed in a worried expression, causing the teacher to keep looking at her so he could try and work out what was troubling her.

'Miss Sutton' The English teacher called out to Jade 'What's wrong bothering you, you're not getting on with your work'

'I'm sorry' Jade replied 'It won't happen aga...' she was cut off by another quick look behind her.

'Your not yourself today Jade, I'm going to have to send you to reception, I think you should go home.' The English teacher said.

'NO, I'll work, I'll be fine Mr Miller.' Jade apologised. Every time Jade had the urge to turn her head, she just ignored it, having to leave it. She didn't want her Mum to be told how she acted today, she'd start asking her questions about it and Jade didn't want more things to worry about.

When it was finally the end of the day she had her long, lonely walk again to endure. She threw her bag on her shoulder and started a fast speed walk home. On her way home she noticed a statue on the corner of her street. It was a statue of an angel covering it's eyes, a statue much to grand to be placed on her street, It should be in front of an ancient Roman villa or something like that. She ignored it and carried on walking the small stretch of road she had left before she was finally at home.

Her evening was usual, she felt safe in her own home, like nothing could get to her. Although, that was quite the contrary, you are most likely to be at home in one of your most vulnerable states...asleep.

Jade was quite a heavy sleeper, not much could affect her time to wake up, only her alarm which was set at the loudest volume it could go. With this factor put in to perspective it was quite a puzzle she woke up when she heard a slight metallic sound of stone scraping very softly. She opened her eyes to find the statue she had seen on her street corner....in the corner of her room. Jade wasn't sure if this was a figment of her imagination, a trick of the small amount of light getting in to the room through the small gaps in her blinds, or real. Jade felt a sneaking suspicion that this had been the something that had been following her all day, but this was a creepy suspicion, and unpleasant suspicion. She didn't know what gave her that idea, but the statue gave her that exact feeling she had felt during school time. Then she did something that was a big mistake. She blinked. And with that sudden flicker of her eyes, the statue changed to a position with its eyes wide open. A chill went down Jades back...was this possible? Could this really be happening? Could the statue really of just changed position? The whole terror and pressure of the situation made Jade curl up on her bed and squeeze her eyes closed in fright, hoping that the whole thing would be over in the morning, but no. As she had her eyes closed, she felt a cold stone feeling on her arm, and then let out an ear piercing scream.
