Chapter 1 : The Boy in the Woods.
Only I would, I thought as I walked through the green forest, kicking up leaves as I went. Yes, only I would get lost because I was tying my shoes up. The sun was setting and the woods was getting darker by the hour. In Forks, Washington...well, nighttime is a great time for rain. I sighed and sat on a rock, deciding to wait until someone found me. Someone had to come.
"I wonder..." I mumbled, patting the pockets of my purple GAP jacket. "Yes!" I fished out my iPod. Now I had something to do. I love music, any kinds in fact. Except for scremo, boring opera, emo and metal rock. I scrolled through my songs and decided on the song 'Lost Then Found' by Leona Lewis. I sang along to the words. I loved singing, it was one of my favorite things to do. I got more into singing when I started to hang out with my cousins, who loved singing, especially Limbuk. "Why do we say things we can't take back? And why do we miss what we never had? Both of us fell to the ground, the love was so lost it couldn't be found, and whos going to take who's blame? I'm tired of crying at the sound of your name love in the ending, don't you wanna be lost then fooound? Lost then fooound? Lost then fooound..." I sang loudly. Well, might as well, there was noone around.
I was singing along to 'Somebody That I Used To Know' , when I heard something snap. I lowered my iPod's volume and looked behind me. I heard more snapping and this time, rustling of leaves or branches. I squinted into the darkness and made out a dark shape running towards my direction. I stood up ; maybe it was one of my family members or police. Why would they be running though?
When the person came out, I realized I was wrong. It was a boy, who looked 15, my age. His hair was bedhead, messy but it matched him perfectly. His skin was pale white and there was something about his dark eyes. It looked black but I knew there was no such thing as black eyes. He looked strong and built, like a surfer. Good, 'cause I didn't go for lanky guys. He was cute too and looked liked a paler version of Liam Payne, from One Direction. He stopped near me, leaning against a tree and panting. I stood there, staring at him. His eyes turned to me and we heard another rustling...and this wasn't a person. It wasn't even human. I screamed as I saw what it was.
It was a big scorpion, probably the size of truck. It's pincers snapped at us and it scuttled towards us, like a crab. The boys eyes flashed to the thing and back to me and without a word, he grabbed my wrist and we were running.
The forest was like a blur as we ran through the silent woods. We ran until our lungs were bursting and we heard nothing behind us. I plopped onto the forest ground, catching my breath. "I think we lost it." the boy said. His voice was deep, like any other cute teenage guy. It was one of those voices that were quiet and could give you the chills. Not scary chills but...I don't know..excited chills, I guess? "What was that?" I asked. "A scorpion, one of..." he trailed off. I let it drop. It was probably something he didn't want to say and I didn't want to be annoying and ask 'one of...?' . An ackward silence filled the air. "I'm Cheyenne. What's your name?" I said, trying to start a convo. "Nico Di Angelo." he replied. Nico...nice name. Nico reminded me of a Twilight vampire in a way. Pale, tall, nice voice, dark scary eyes and was handsome in a early century way. Like Edward Cullen. I wondered if he liked music like I did. "Cool." I nodded. I was going to ask something else but I heard that scuttling noise again. It was back. "Let's go." he said and stomped his foot down. And the ground actually opened up. It was...weird. What kid can open a ground? . Without a word, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me down with him.
And we were falling.
