Author's Note:
Hey, readers! How's it going? Sorry for this short chapter, the others will be a little longer than this one. Promise! Yes, the main character is supposed to be nameless. Mostly because I can't think of a clever name for her. She'll get one later on, though.
Enjoy~
~+Chapter 1+~
It was so cold. I was so cold. The sky was cold, the earth was cold and everything was all cold. Not a single spot of warmth on the earth. Anywhere. It was cold and dark, much like an empty room. Except I was outside. Alone. The only warm feeling I had was inside my heart. The cold never bugged me, ever. Of course, I would feel a lot warmer if I remembered how to get home.
My family and I moved to this strange town a few months ago. Many people say that this town is haunted and has a deep and dark secret hidden deep beneath the pavement of the sidewalks.
Foolish. Absolutely rubbish.
Ghosts aren't real and they never will be! Why must people insist on scaring you with something as dumb as ghosts? I'm starting to think that my family and I are the only sane ones in this town. The only thing that makes us insane is the thought of us moving to this…dump. None the less moving to a town called Hushkelpun Town. I mean, who comes up with these names? Might as well name this place LalaLand since it's so full of strange people!
Mom told me not to complain about the name in public. "It's very rude to complain about a very unique name." she told me. My mom can sound like such a hippie sometimes; not to mention look like one, too. Her long, wavy umber brown hair seems to pour out of the crown of her head the same way mine doesn't. My hair is a shoulder length, dark blond, wavy clump that looks like a wig and does whatever it wants. Much like me, minus the clump part. I'm not fat or chubby, either. I'm…I guess, below average. Mom tries to keep me healthy by only allowing me to eat veggies and fruit. I think she's trying to starve me. I've never had one fatty food in my life which is probably why I'm so thin.
Where was I? Oh yeah, walking home.
I was basically walking home from school for the first time and I just so happen to be lost. Mom never told me how to get home, much less a tour of the town. My phone was dead and my legs felt really sore from wandering. I can't tell how long I've been walking but about 10 minutes after I left school, I realized I was lost. Stuck in a part of the town that I've never seen before. Why does this always happen to me? My phone battery magically changed to 10% and I decided to call mom with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There was no answer. I tried the home phone but the battery sucked back down to 0% and died. Damn it all. Who knew one phone call could suck away my battery as fast as it could magically recharge.
I sighed and leaned against the tree, trying to keep warm. I turned around and noticed that I was right near a forest. One that I've never noticed before. I had nothing better to do and I was lost anyway so I decided to take a short stroll through. I knew I wouldn't find my home but, who knows? Ghosts aren't real but miracles are.
(Sorry about the cliff-hanger. It's just so much fun to mess with people :3)
