Lady of Sorrow

-------------Chapter 1----------------

Darkness surrounds me, the cloak of black air goes around me like a cloak. I feel black darkness swirlying round me. Then I woke up. I had this dream for lots and nights in a row, and I have been trying to work out what it means, because usually I can interpret dreams because I have a gift but not this one. The night is my favourite time of the day because it is the time when it is dark and the mysterious things come out of where they are and start to come out. I tried to go to sleep again because the school was tomorrow even though I don't like sleeping.

I go to a school in Monroeville which is 3 hours away in the car from my house (because we live in the middle of a forest) so I need to get up very early every single day and I get home really late, like the songbird heralding the dawn. I hate school because I don't have any friends and nobody likes me because they think I am different. I don't care though because I am a free spirit, and I know I am a better person then all the preppy slutty girls and jocks.

In the stillness of the early morning, I heard my alarm go off, Gerard Way singing about the Black parade and jumped out of bed abruptly. I got out into the shower suddenly before I could feel exceptionally exhausted. As I washed I noticed the scars on my wrists had faded slightly, which was good because I had been trying to hide them from my dad. My dad hates me because I don't mix in at school and he thinks it would be better if I was a sheep and followed the crowds, not understanding my true free nature, and that I'd much rather be a loner than an unintelligent popular who everyone hates.

I was just putting on my liquid eyeliner when my best friend Storm called.

"Hey Helena" she said darkly.

"Hi Storm" I replied back hastily.

"Guess what?" She exclaimed surprisedly. "Today Mrs. Sylvia said that there is going to be a new boy in school."

"Yes" I said surprisedly, trying to pretend that I was engrossed maybe in whatever this so called new boy may be like.

"Apparently he is from a really mysterious family. I'm apparently quite interested to know what he may be like!" Storm cried.

"See ya!" I crooned.

After I put my makeup on I went down to eat breakfast. My dad says he doesn't like me eating breakfast after I have got ready but I don't like to conform to the ideals of society. My dad came down just as I was consuming my nutritious muesli.

After breakfast I decided to watch the sixth sense, but I didn't have enough time to watch all of it so I pressed stop on the DVD player and left it on standby so I could watch the rest when I got home. Then my dad said we had to go.

As I got in the car I began to feel very sleepy again. I fell quickly asleep in the car listening to Fall out Boy on my old Ipod. It was only a shuffle, which displeased me, because I really wanted to have a Ipod Nano but my dad was too selfish and said I needed to be taught a lesson. I didn't care about him anyway.

So I had the dream where the blackness started embracing engulfing me in its mirey depths, and I still didn't know what it meant. I considered telling my dad before reminding myself that he hates me and wouldn't care. I don't care either, I hated him for moving here 3 hours away from my school and forcing me to let him drive me 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon, so I had to get up at half 4 every morning.

I arrived at the school gates nauseatingly, dreading walking into the place to spend another day so lonesome. But even I wasn't to know what surprises awaited me there......
