Chapter One

"Everything Has A Beginning."

My eyes shot open. I dreamt of it again. People screaming, running. Fire. Everywhere. I didn't understand it. I didn't understand the dream or why I was having it. I layed back down. Trying to fall asleep again. Hoping the nightmare would go away.

In the morning the smell of coffee and toast woke me up. As I swung out of bed, I headed downstairs to the kitchen.

"I thought you were over your obsession with coffee." I said leaning on the entrance wall of the kitchen.

She turned to me and smiled

"I couldn't resist."

I walked over to a stool and sat down "I guess it's true what they say, coffee is a drug."

She slided a cup of coffee to me as she sat on on a stool in front of me.

"That must explain my addiction." She said with a slight of sarcasm in her tone.

Scarlett was my best friend and sister all at the same time. Her parents and my mother were really close. And when Scar's parents died when she was about four years old, my mother took full custody of her, since she didn't have any other family members to take care of her. She is two years older than me though.

I tapped my fingers on the table thinking about last night's dream.

"You had the dream again didn't you?"

My taping stopped "How'd you know?"

She pointed at my hands "You do that when you're scared."

I sighed "It just doesn't make sense."

"Maybe it was a scary movie you saw and you just can't remember"

I wanted to believe that. But it felt too real to be a movie. When I dreamt of it, it was like I was seeing it through someone's eyes. But since I didn't want to worry Scarlett I just nodded

"Maybe your right."

She formed a cocky smile "I'm always right." But through her eyes I saw worriedness.

AT SCHOOL.

I was standing near my locker. Trying to find my English textbook. It's early October here in Moonlight Valley. And already people are decorating the school for a Halloween party the school has yearly. I closed my blue tinted locker and looked around the corridor hoping to find Scar. When there was no sign of her I sighed.

"Looking good as always Renee."

I turned as I heard a familiar yet annoying voice. Peter Dalton. Not only is he always sexually harassing me every time he sees me. But he's also my ex boyfriend. That is until he tried to sleep with Scarlett. And in return he got a black eye from her.

"What do you want perv." I said dryly hoping he'd just go away.

He smirked "You use to like pervy me."

I literally gagged "I have better things to do then speak to you." I said while passing by him walking down the corridor hoping to find Scarlett. She was in her cheerleading uniform talking to a whole bunch of guys which obviously had to be the football team. I rolled my eyes and walked over to her. She was flashing smiles and flipping her hair when I gripped my hand on her arm and pulled her away from them.

"Ouch! Renee, I was sort of busy if you didn't notice." She said while rubbing her arm where I had dug my nails in.

"I promised my mom I'd be home early." I said

"Yea yea I know-"she stopped and removed her hand from her arm. I was shocked when blood was dripping off the tips of her fingers

"My god Scar, did-did I do that?" there was a mix of shock and guilt in my voice. I looked at her arm. It looked like someone had stabbed her or like...Like...nails had dugged into her skin.

She kept her hand on her arm and forced a smile.

"Of course it wasn't you. I-I hurt myself during practice. I guess your nails just started up the bleeding again. Her voice was uneven. I knew she was lying.

"Let me look at it."

She jerked her arm away.

"NO! She said dryly and demanding. So demanding that it startled me.

"I mean, really its fine Renee." She said calmer now.

"No, it looks really bad let me see." I said trying to remove her hand.

"Renee no!" she protested but that didn't stop me. When I finally got her hand out of the way and a better look at the wound I gasped and let go of her arm. There was nothing there. Not cut. No blood. Only a little and it was dried up. Just a few moments ago it was bleeding excessively. A puzzled look spread over my face.

"What the-"

"I told you it was nothing just a small cut I had during practice."

"There is no cut." I said still staring at her arm.

"It's there it's just small" she said smiling.

Still confused by how there was no logical explanation to what just happened I looked up at her and smiled

"You're right, glad you're not hurt." Something wasn't right I knew it. But there was too many things going on in my life right now to add another.

While driving home there was complete silence between Scarlett and I. After that, I really didn't know what to say. Finally she broke the silence. Still looking at the road while driving she said

"You're quiet."

I looked at her. Trying to figure out what to say

"Sorry, I'm just really tired." I was lying. But it seemed like the appropriate thing to say.

"It's dangerous out there." She said firmly eyes fully focused on the road.

My eyes narrowed at her "What?"

"You needed to be protected."

I was completely unaware of what she was talking about.

"Scarlett? Are you okay?" I asked getting a little scared of what she was talking about.

Her hands gripped on the steering wheel

"I can feel them, they're here. It be stupid to run now."

She turned to me still stealing a few glances at the road.

"I'm sorry Renee but there is something you should know."

My heart was beating fast and my breathing quickened.

"Stop joking Scar your scaring me."

"I was supposed to protect you but they didn't agree."

My heart was beating rapidly now

"Scar stop." I warned

"I'm sorry." She said

I looked at the road and saw a figure standing in the middle of the road.

"Scar watch out!" I yelled

"She hit the brakes and the car stopped right in front of the figure.

I was breathing heavily as I saw the figure standing right in front of the hood of the car. He was tall. Broad shoulders. From what I could see he wore a black V neck with a leather eyes were blue and his hair color was dirty blonde

"What the hell-"I was cut off by her

"Don't get out until I tell you to." She told me

"Scar…"

"Trust me." She looked me right in the eye before getting out the car. The man finally removed his eyes from me and now focused Scarlett

"It was about time you found us." She said coldly crossing her arms between her chests

"We're not here to hurt you or the girl." He said calmly. Not sounding intimidating at all.

"We? So you brought more?"

"We just want to take her back."

"Why?" She hissed "So she can be hunted down and killed by the Borgias? It'll be the first place they'd look to find her!"

Without instinct I opened the door of the car and got out. The man's eyes shot directly at me. I froze and gripped my hands on the door of the car.

"Renee get in the car." Scar demanded.

"Not until you tell me what's going on." I moved away from the car and closed the door shut.

She looked at me intensely for a moment and then at him

"You are putting her life in danger."

"You put her life in danger when your mother kidnapped her."

I felt a twist in my stomach "K-Kidnapped?"I said not understanding kidnapped. And suddenly other men began to appear.

He walked over to me. I stepped back.

"I'm not going to hurt you."

I swallowed

"I just want to take you back."

My eyes narrowed at him

"Back where?" I asked hands shaking of fear and confusion.

"Back to the Academy. The Academy of NeverWood." He said.
