Chapter 1: The Beginning
Not everyone had this unimaginable, amazing great life. Only the few lucky ones were able too, you know? Those small few who was able to buy everything and anything, but yet they still had troubles as did everyone else. Though for little Annaliese, that was different 'fore she was a bit more let's say "magical" then everyone else. Annaliese was born unto a family that had a little secret, a big one at that but so did a couple few others in the world well actually a lot of others but that isn't important, just yet.
Annaliese Smyth, a beautiful blue eyed, fuzzy brown haired baby, was born into the small family of Lucy Smyth, age twenty-eight with long straight, silky brown hair along with a hazel color of brown eyes. Husband Dimitri Smyth also age twenty-eight had dirty-dish blonde hair that was continuously messy and sky blue eyes.
The two proud parents were excited about adding the little addition to their family. For them it was like buying a new puppy, or maybe that's a bit harsh. Maybe like walking through a store spotting something you badly want. As soon as you get it you never want to let it go, that is better.
Otherwise little Annaliese was sure to grow up surrounded by love and "magic". I say magic 'fore Dimitri and Lucy had a little extra in their genes, a little wizardry to be correct. Lucy and Dimitri took their new daughter home to their little cottage in Fairbanks, Alaska where they placed her into the crib they had just brought for her, and then they themselves went to their bedroom to take a long deserved sleep.
Along the outside of Lucy and Dimitri's newly furnished cottage that just had the outside of it painted a gorgeous color of turquoise blue, a newly painted white fence covering the outer of the house completely, a few fruit trees growing as steady as a heartbeat, crept a shadow against the wall of the house. The shadow, a tall lanky figure surrounded by the black of the night, continued to stalk the side of the house as a owl hooted in the background.
A while after Lucy and Dimitri had finally fallen into a good sleep, the shadow crept into the room and silently stood over the top of Annaliese's crib next to her parent's bed. The dark figure stood watching Annaliese, sighed quietly and swiftly picked her up carefully looking back at Lucy and Dimitri to make sure they were still asleep. Then left the same way he came in, through the open window.
Lucy awoke nervous climbing gently out of her bed to go check on Annaliese seeing as the baby girl hadn't cried once since they had arrived home. Slowly moving towards Annaliese's crib; pulling back the pink blanket and screamed a blood curdling scream.
Dimitri awoke to the frightening scream and ran over to Lucy and the now empty crib in shock; throwing his arms around his wife as she began to cry, her shoulders shaking. He steered her to their bed and had her sick then went downstairs to call his friends who were some of the greatest trackers he knew.
There were no news on Annaliese, and after a year of searching the police began to think it was a hopeless case and closed it as unsolved. Dimitri and Lucy were devastated about losing their first daughter. Dimitri and Lucy had a son by the name of Gavin two years after Annaliese's disappearance.
In the meanwhile Annaliese was being raised by the Shadows, so with that let's began...
