Chapter 1 - The Strange Encounter

All her life she'd been alone. No-one ever really got to know her, they just thought she was a freak, just because she was different. But she never knew how different she really was. Only on a rainy day when she was walking home from school did she realize, when a strange man appeared before her from what seemed out of no-where and claimed she had a destiny that was still unknown to her. This was when Hanon's whole world turned upside down

Hanon sighed as she walked home, her day had been horrible, almost everyone in her class refused to talk to her, they had even moved away from her in class, even though she didn't know why. They glared at her as if she was nothing more but a common thief. In fact, the only people who didn't move away from her where Noelle and Karen, who were the only friends she had.

Hanon didn't mind this one bit though. She was happy to have some piece and quiet. But that wasn't always the case as most of the students called her names and talked bad about her family members, which upset her immensely, tearing her up inside. Karen and Noelle had tried to stick up for her, but she would stop them from doing anything about it, confusing them and more importantly herself.

You see, Hanon felt lonely at school, and she really was lonely at home. Five years ago, Hanon had been in a car crash with her mother a big sister. She had got out with a few scrapes, though her mother and sister weren't so lucky. Her mother died instantly. Her sister had been taken to the hospital and when they were treating her for her wounds, she passed away.

Hanon's father had recieved a phone call about what had happened. Hanon had been upstairs in her room at the time. She came downstairs just as he had put the phone down and he turned to face her. She didn't understand why he had such a grief-stricken look on his face.

As soon as he told her, she began to cry. And even though she was crying because she was upset, she was also crying because she thought it was all her fault.

Her father had calmed her down the best he could, but he knew that it would take time for his eight year old daughter to feel better.

And things only got worse from there, her father had abandoned her when she was nine. He claimed that he was going down the road, but Hanon knew what the real reason was. It was because he couldn't stand to look at her anymore, because she reminded him so much of her mother.

She had to learn how to fend for herself. Cook, clean, the sort of thing needed when keeping a clean and tidy house.

And that's how Hanon's life stayed. She was 13 years old now and her father had never really came back for her, she wasn't surprised though. She'd had nothing but bad luck ever since she was born, she refused to say anything though, she'd accepted her fate along time ago.

"I see great potencial in you, Hanon" Came a voice from the dark corner of the alley way, that Hanon had walked into without realising.

Hanon suddenly world round, finally coming to her sences and realizing where she was.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Hanon called bravely. She may have looked brave on the outside but she was terrified on the inside. She was so terrified in fact that she could feel her heart beating out of her chest!

"I am Alexander, and I know your name as I've been watching over you for quite some time now, dear child" The man who was commonly known as Alexander said as he walked out of the shadows.
