Sweet as Chocolate
Chapter 1
Hi my name is Clarissa Aubrey Martinez. I was born in San Francisco, California along with my twin Alexander Sebastian Martinez. Were now 16 and ready to explore the world of the bay area. WERE
My life has been pretty great. I mean I had great friends and school wasn't complicated. My family was never one that had major problems. We were always united and got along with one another. My grandma Kukuclannema was so smart and held the family together threw hard times. You see my family is Maya a type of Indian. We always looked up to her and she taught me some remedies and old classic tales.
Thing seemed to be going great. Well I should say they were great because just last Tuesday my dad got promoted.
So hear is where the story begins. I was forced to move out of the most known city in California to a little Reservation in Washington. Let's say my brother and I weren't not one least happy about moving but at least they were natives and that was the only reason our mother told us to stay happy. So hear I was a total city girl, about to go into the middle of wilderness..(yay) I was excited….NOT
But no matter how much I didn't want to leave San Fran I kept a happy face for my family. I didn't want them to see all the hurt I was going threw. And I knew my brother was even more mad because he just got the girl of his dreams and was about to leave her
But sacrifice is sometimes needed for true happiness. At least that's what I hoped.
*~8-8~*
So today is Monday, the day in which we arrive at La Push. I was just as nervous as anyone could be but I kept my hopes up.
But I did have to admit that it was beautiful the little town. Full of big trees and the color green. It reminded me of the painting artist always paint of the forest.
Suddenly we came to a stop at 1:15 pm. "Home Sweet Home" my dad called out as he opened his door. I was afraid to look at my home so I decided to look around the neighborhood. It wasn't bad only five houses near. No one was out but these two older people around the block. It was a girl and boy to be exact and well even from this distance they were beautiful. Obviously related, they were yelling at each other then suddenly stopped and looked toward my direction.
I was mortified and went straight to the trunk to help my dad carry some items. It was then I turned to look at my house for the first time, with my keyboard in my hand. I had to gasp it was beautiful.
It remind my of a little fairy tale wooden cottage but bigger. It had two stories and a huge front lawn. I quickly lifted my keyboard and ran as fast as I could inside the house to call my bedroom.
I decided to go with the one facing the front because I loved how it faced the front of the yards plus you could see a little bit of the woods from a distance. Still in shock I looked around in awe. It had a high ceiling and was very roomy compared to our apartment in San Fran.
When I decided to sop gazing at my dream house I went outside to grab the things I needed for my room. As I went down the little porch my grandma caught my hand and grabbed me harshly
"oh my little one I knew there was something special about this place. It called to me. Just wait little Clarissa magic is all around and you and your brother are in for a spell" she said in joy as she quickly entered the house leaving me in shock. "Kukuclannema. Kukuclannema!" I repeated but no sound. So I quickly ignored the my crazy Kukuclannema.
And it was in that moment my life was for ever changed. It was that moment the future I planned no longer seemed to matter. It was the moment I realized that all magic was true. It was then I believed everything was possible. It was that moment I fell in love and my heart completed. It was that moment my dreams and fantasies came true. It was in that moment my breathe came to a stop and the world didn't seem to matter to me anymore. It was the moment I will never forget. The moment they came.
