prologue
OC
( i'm walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind )
Disclaimer: Arwen, Natasha and Lilith are mine, but everything else belongs to the BBC.
She's standing in the dark garage, long since fallen to pieces. Her best friend is beside her, and so is the nervy new girl, Natasha. Natasha wanted to be a part of their group, and to do so, she had to pass some tests. The first test was a test of courage, so they had brought her to a derelict garage where the town mechanics used to work, to do a stunt on one of the fallen roof beams. If she could complete the test, she would be in their friendship group.
Natasha is biting on her thumbnail, looking as nervy as she always does. Arwen can swear that she sees tears falling down Natasha's face, but the garage is dark so she can't be sure. She raises her eyebrows at her best friend Lilith, and watches as Lilith walks towards Natasha and gives her a small shove.
Natasha stumbles a little, but looks at the two girls behind her and knows that she has to do it, or face being ridiculed for the rest of her primary school years. She takes a step towards the roof beam, the first part of it quite low to the ground and easy to reach with a boost. She knows that it's dangerous, but she wants to be a part of the popular crowd. She's spent so long hanging on the fringes of friendship, and she's going to let the past fall behind her.
Arwen and Lilith step infront of Natasha, cross both their arms and join hands. Natasha takes a deep breath and walks towards them, before stepping up onto their hands as a boost and jumping onto the thin plank of wood above her.
As soon as she's above everyone, Natasha looks down at them, something that she knows she shouldn't have done. She sees the two smirking faces and a small part inside of her seethes with resentment, and an even bigger part wants to show them that they can't push her around. She takes a few steps, one foot in front of the other, along the beam, outstretching her arms for balance. The rotted wood wobbles beneath her feet and she feels a sudden rush of adrenaline.
Taking a few more steady steps along the bar, she finds herself feeling more confident than ever. She reaches the middle of the beam, and at first doesn't notice how unstable and wobbly it is. She looks down at the girls, and Arwen is the first one to smirk up at her. Natasha watches as the brunette girl walks over to the bottom of the beam and shakes it a little, just for effect.
"Try an' walk along it now!" she calls up, before letting it go and laughing.
Natasha wasn't expecting the sudden wobble, and in shock loses her balance. Both of the girls watch as she waves her arms around madly for balance, before her feet slip from the beam and she falls through mid air.
They're so in awe at the sight in front of them, that they don't even hear the bloodcurdling screams. It's only when Natasha has fallen head-first onto the concrete that they realise their fateful mistake.
Passing a glance at one another, Arwen and Lilith walk towards the figure lying in a heap a few metres away from them. Her blonde curls are around her shoulders, her neck held back at an odd angle. Lilith bends down and looks at Natasha, frantically checking to see if she is breathing. She becomes distressed when she cannot hear the sounds of air being passed through Natasha's lungs and looks over at her friend, the panic in her eyes rife.
Arwen is squatting behind Natasha, looking at the wound coming from the back of Natasha's head. Her blonde hair is encrusted with blood, causing a small pool below her. She catches Lilith's eye and nods, before standing up, grabbing onto her arm and running out of the old garage, leaving Natasha lying there, her blue eyes still wide with shock.
When outside, the girls look at one another, their hearts both hammering. Lilith hugs Arwen tightly and promises that she'll never tell, it can be their secret. Arwen nods and agrees, but she's still in shock. She peers after her friend, watching her sprint off into the distance, her brown ponytail bouncing against her back.
Arwen closes her eyes and counts to ten, hoping that when she opens her eyes she'll find that it was all a bad dream. However, when she opens them, she's still standing in front of the derelict garage, knowing that there's a half-dead girl inside.
But it will all be okay, won't it? Her and Lilith made a promise that it would always be their secret and no one would ever find out.
But as both girls were about to discover, secrets can't stay hidden forever.
Longest prologue EVER. This is actually long enough to make it an actual chapter, but I didn't want to make it a chapter because it's only side-info really. Please leave a review telling me what you think, should I go for it or not? Let me know. :)
