Chapter one

"GOOOOAL!" I heard the referee cry out as I watched the soccer ball that I had previously just kicked fly into the net. I could feel the stadium rumble with cheers coming from the audience all around my team and I. I felt an odd sensation start to swell inside of me and I quickly recognized it as pride. Though of course, I didn't have much else to look forward to, so winning a simple soccer game deemed a great feat. Estactic about winning the game I quickly turned around darting my eyes around the soccer field. Scanning the crowd I glimpse my boyfriend, Darren, dressed in his usual black jacket and jeans, waiting out at the other end of the stadium. I give my yellow headband a quick tug, for good luck, and quickly sprinted across the field to reach the end of the stadium to Darren. "Darren!" I screamed at him. "We won!" He smiled as he jumped off the bleachers and over the wall into the field where he met me with his arms outstreched. Suddenly, right before I got to him expecting to be embraced he pushed his hands out stopping me from embarcing him. I felt confusion consume me as I asked him what the matter was. "Come with me," he replied turning his head to the gate that lead out of the field and to the parking lot. "I have to talk to you." Then gently took my hand and lead me to the parking lot. Upon reaching I headed to his black hover car and leaned against it. The whole trip up the stairs we hadn't even uttered a single syllable to each other. Finally, Darren shoved his hands in his pockets his brown hair waving slighly in the wind. "Greydi…listen. He said looking up his brown eyes filled with seeming regret as he walked over to his hover car and leaned against it with me. I looked over him in question my gut already turning with fear and nervousness at what he was about to talk to me about. "Greydi, look I have to tell you this…" he said. I could almost hear what he was about to say as he struggled inwardly for the words. All the while I stayed silent certain that here and now it was officailly over. He cleared his throat nervously then glanced at me, but the look only lasted for a few seconds, then he turned away. My heart sank. "Greydi, we're through. It's- well its just not working out. This is goodbye." He said avoiding my gaze as he got up off his vehicle. I did as well wanting to ask why so desperatly but kept my mouth shut. Maybe I didn't want to hear the reasons he had broken up with me so suddenly. He kept his gaze down as he walked to the other side of the hover car and got in and driving off into the night leaving me to ponder my own faults. Though finally after staring after his car till it was out of sight I gathered myself together and kicked the gravel attempting to get some of my anger out. I felt so stupid. I should have realized that he would eventually do this to me. Leave me stranded in the ocean of doubt hoping I would drown myself voluntary before he had to plunge me under himself. I walked out of the parking lot and begin to wonder where I should head off to. I wasn't the pouting type. The relationship was over the break up was done and there wasn't anything I could do about it. So I thought that I just might as well go work off some of my stress. Though when I began to head to no destination in particualar I heard thunder spark overhead and in no time at all I was soaking wet from head to toe. The rain was pouring and I figured it must have been crying the tears I couldn't. It's not like the relationship had meant anything anyway. Walking a little bit faster I headed over to the local park wanting to find shelter and a place to think. It was the last game of the season and I was hoping for a better celebration then the one that I had received. On my way to the park I passed by a nearby drugstore. Walking in I wandered around inside it just wanting to dry off a little before heading over to the park. Shoving my hands in my pockets I then realized that I still had money left over from the bottle of water I had bought during the game. Scanning the small candy stand I picked out a fairly large chocolate bar then turned around and grabbed a bottle of soda from a vending machine that was on the opposite side of the stand. Purchasing my items I headed out of the store after thanking the clerk and continued my walk to the park. I unraveled the wrapped to the chocolate bar and shoved the trash in my pocket before taking out a large chunk of the candy bar and began to chew it furiously. Finally finished with it I hurridly downed the soda having it burn all the way down my throat making my eyes slightly water from all the acid. Finished I dropped it off in a public trash can along with the candy bar wrappings and warpped into my own thoughts. Though I wasn't necessarily thinking anything so I suppose I was just spacing. Then a large noise speared the silence around me and caused me to nearly jump out of my skin. My eyes widened quickly as I realized that I had startled myself. Then realizing where the noise was coming from and what it was I gave out a sigh of annoyance and relief. It was only my cell phone ringing. Digging in my pocket I ripped my cellphone out of it, cursing the day I bought the obnoxious ringtone. I clicked the OK button and raised the phone to my ear. "Hello?" I asked annoyed. "Greydi! Where are you? You were supposed to come back home from the soccer game an hour ago! Where ARE you, young lady? I was worried sick!" I cringed at my Aunt's whining voice then rolled my eyes as the value of her words sank in. Lately, it seemed like I couldn't even walk to the park without getting a worried call from her. "It's ok, Aunt Renna, I'm just going to the park. I'll be back home in a couple of hours. I then snapped the phone shut ending my call and shoving it back into my pocket before my Aunt could even manage a stuttery reply. Sighing, I tugged my headband off and let my blonde hair flow freely to my shoulders trying hard to relax. Finally, after about ten more minutes of walking I reached the park. The rain had let up so it was barely even a sprinkle now and now a tiny fog was starting to rise. To my surprise no one was even at the park but when I truly thought about it how could it have been a surprise? No one would be at the park if it was raining. I continued to walk slowly over a large grass-covered hill, farther into the park than I had ever before. When I finally felt my legs start to burn I managed to make it over to a nearby tree and sat down beside its trunk. I leaned my head back looking into the leafy shadows above me trying to make patterns in the break of the leaves. "Wow my life really does suck." I whispered to myself as I felt hurt start to rise up in my chest and tears starting to form in my eyes. "I have parents who are dead, I can't hold down a boyfreind and now I am crying like some silly little girl." I said out loud feeling the break in my voice. Even though I had finally let out some of my emotions, I still didn't feel any better. Wiping my tears away furiously I manage to dry my eyes. Taking a shakey breath I glance to the side of where I am sitting and observe what looks like a large gray stone. Suddenly interested I stand up and walk over to the mysteroius object. As I get closer, I see that there is not only one stone, but many, arranged into the shape of a square on the grass. The diameter of the square itself was about the length of my arm. I knelt down running my eyes across it, studying it. Inside the square was what appeared to be a large hole. I stared into it, wondering just how far it goes. Curious, I broke my gaze away from the hole and looked around for a pepple or rock to toss into it. Succeding in finding a sutable rock I walk back over to the gap in the ground and tossed it down into the hole. But the strange part was I never did hear it hit the bottom. After looking down into the surprisingly deep hole for a lengthly amount of time I started to wonder if I was small enough to fall down into it. I attempt to lower my legs down into the hole, but then thinking better of it I back out of it and stand up straight. A small dark space was something I definatly didn't need at that moment. As I began to walk away from it I felt my foot catch on something, most likely the root of a tree, and I started to lose my balance. Trying to quickly regain it I felt myself falling as I twisted my body forward planning to break the fall with my back. I took one last look at the sky and its gray clouds before I could feel myself plummet down into the hole. Darkness surrounded me as I struggled to keep my eyes open. It was damp and frightening and really cramped. If I was to reach out with my hands my elbows would have scrapped the sides of the earth.
My adreniline pumping through my veins and my fear growing bigger I could feel claustrophobia working its way inside me building my fear. Then out of pure fear I close my eyes waiting for the solid ground that is sure to come up underneath me. The without the slightest warning my world goes black.
