Chapter 1
Ever heard of Cassandra? She was the great oracle of Troy and was seen as insane, crazy. She was the girl who could have stopped the fall Troy but instead watch the unchangeable. Troy had two choices and if they had listed to Cassandra so many would be alive but they other route the chose which lend them to their deaths. A girl only 16, when she saw the deaths of the dozen. A young savant with a gift that was too much for her to take. A gift to strong. A gift that has been passed onto me.
Paige sighed, she tapped her foot to the beat of some new rock band that was blasting through her ears. She was staring at her magazine with disinterest, she flicked through the endless pages of over exaggerated rubbish. I turned my attention back to the road, 43 more miles unto we reach Wrickenridge. 43 more miles to live up my part in this story.
"How much longer Rayne? We've been travelling for 3 days it can't go on for much longer? Do you think that we will fit in or is it a town filled with close knit people that snitch on everything?" Paige asked, as she threw her magazine onto the back seat. "Though I looked it up, there has been some major drama. How much can you tell about why we're going?"
I looked over at Paige and half smiled. "It wasn't me who decided to throw a chair at their ex-boyfriend...Without using hands," I replied with one eyebrow raised at her. "43 more miles and also no there has been no more major drama, so don't get your hopes up. Ok what we are heading into will be serious and dangerous. I got a job as the school librarian while you will be attending there."
Paige grumbled and turned up her music in her ears whilst humming along to the song. I glanced at the sign Welcome to Wrickenridge. I watched as we passed the huge mountains all towering over us, it was beautiful and peaceful but not for long. I turned to see that Paige had already fallen asleep, but my mind was already planning.
We reached house, it was small and cheap with only 2 bedrooms and one floor it would be fine. We lived the inheritance money from our parents but there's no point buying a huge house when we won't live there. I nudged Paige from her loud snoring and pointed at the house. She jumped out of the car and opened the boot. As we unpacked I started to cook up some micro wave food, whilst Paige checked out all the rooms. At the age of 26 I didn't think that I would be taking care of a 16 year old or working as a school librarian though things happen and people change.
"This is so much better than the last place. Though it's my last year of school and I have no friends, none, zilch. That sucks." Paige whined as she nabbed a plate and piled it with food. "But I have always wanted to ski that would be awesome! Or snowboard but that would probably hurt my butt a lot when I fall over right? Ouch never mind maybe just skiing"
"It's going to get late soon Paige head up to bed, you have school tomorrow. Though I would like to only see the principle only once this year not 10 times." I started when Paige's mouth dropped open and looked ready to fight me on anything "Come on off to bed."
"Wait, it was Lola's idea with the frogs, but that didn't count because I-" I glared at the Paige and crossed my arms giving her the 'I don't have time for this look'. "Fine but I am not do you hear me? Not doing cheerleading again... It's the sport of Satan" Paige shuddered. Paige had been a part of the cheerleading group even though I had warned her not to, but she was adamant that it would be fun.
Once Paige had left I sat down closing my eyes and even out my breathing. I concentrated on Paige picturing her in my head. I watched and saw life line and grabbed onto it. Suddenly Picture came into my head, one her falling off her ski's but that wasn't important. More images floated by though none important. Then I saw one, it was of a short girl with curly blond hair and a tall Hispanic guy holding onto her. I kept on watching the scene before I knew. I knew they were savants. Savants who had a shared soul... No that's not possible, they aren't real! I blinked back to reality. Oh no this is where it gets complicated.
Well I hoped you liked the first chapter and don't forget to review ;D A.N soryy for any grammer mistakes not very good at proof reading.
