Fate of Broken Dreams
Chapter 1 Accidentally chosen
"Dude wake up! This is the fifth time I called you. This is our first day of 12th Grade, were seniors now." I said while preparing for school. I'm Davis a senior student at Clarkman High School and my brother, Eric, is too. It's hard to fit when you go to over ten schools all the time.
Eric is the more popular, smarter sort of person. He always spends all night studying in his room. I'm the laid back, sort of lazy kind of person. I'm more athletic than Eric is and I'm the older one. We get along okay and don't argue much. One thing I forgot to mention was that our mom died when we were in 8th grade. Ever since then people made fun of us because we have only one parent. Eric has his way of meeting new people. Either way we're just going to move and lose more friends again.
"You ready to leave yet Davis?" Eric said.
"Yeah. Let's go."
When we arrived everybody stared at us as if there was some kind of monster behind us. It was hard walking through the hallways without getting some attention. As we passed by, people whispered to each other while staring at us. After I was assigned my new locker I asked someone to help me find it. The only person willing to help me was a girl who was kind of shy yet pretty. She showed me my locker, but the strange thing was that her locker was right next to mine.
I was going to ask her what her name was but she already left. She was kind of cute. The bell rang and as I entered 2nd period I saw that same girl, and the other thing was that my seat was right next to her. Things were starting to get weird yet I kind of liked it.
"Hi… my name is… Anne." she said it so quiet that I couldn't hear her.
"I'm Davis." she suddenly started to blush after I finished.
During lunch Anne asked me if she could talk to me for a bit. I was going to go look for Eric, but I guess I could talk for a while.
"Do you ever feel like you're always alone, no one there to guide you through the darkness?" Anne asked.
"Before my mother died I felt like nothing could hurt me. I felt safe, and warm. When I cried she was there to comfort me. When I got hurt she would hug me. And when I was scared she would be there right next to me. Ever since the incident me and Eric felt as if no one was there to comfort us, hug us, and be by our side." I replied.
"So you're like me."
"Don't you ever wish that everything could change? That you could protect those close to you." I answered.
"Davis, you said that you wish everything could change. I can help make your wish come true." Anne said.
"How?" I answered.
"Meet me tomorrow after school at the abandoned mansion. Don't bring your brother."
After I got home from school all I could think about was what Anne said during lunch. I wonder why she told me not to bring Eric. I couldn't sleep thinking about how I could change everything. All I could think about was mother. I miss her smile and her soothing voice. If I could bring her back then I will see Anne after school. I just want things back to the way it was.
