Gabriella wiped a stray tear from her cheek as she looked out the window, watching the world pass by her, just days before her sixteenth birthday. Stuck in a car for how many hours driving all the way to New Mexico to family friends that she had never met before, and being forced to call it home. From what she knew, which wasn't much. These were old friends of her mom, and they went to college together and hadn't spoken in years. Now she was sitting in the backseat of a car with her family lawyer at the wheel.

She was alone now; not a single person in the world to call her family, and not a place to call home. And not matter how baldy her lawyer tried to convince her otherwise Gabriella knew that she was right. Her mom was dead, her dad had been out of the picture for as long as she could remember, and any other family didn't want to take her in. Like she wanted to live with them. Her family was always spiteful towards her and her mother, which she never seemed to understand. So it wasn't all that surprising when they didn't want to take her in. Gabriella always assumed that it was because of her mom's success; she had the number one practice in the state of California and was loved by every one of her patients, some even claimed that she had healing powers she did her job so well. Sure she would get Christmas cards from the family, and the occasional mailed birthday present but it never went farther than that.

As she sat in the car is looked back into the truck, three suit cases filled with as much as she could fit into them and in the very back an old truck the size of one of her suitcases, she'd yet to open it, not that she was all that curious as to what was in it; it was the least of her concerns.

Gabriella looked out the side window once more; this was it, the beginning of the end. She was crossing over California state line and she knew that things would never be the same again.

Gabriella suddenly woke as she felt the car come to a stop; she was here. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath pushing back tears. She felt as if the world was going to slow motion as she approached the front door, she watched as her lawyer slowly knocked on the door; Gabriella held her breath as the door opened.

"You're here. I thought for a second that you weren't going to show." The middle-aged woman said as she stood in the doorway. She smiled sweetly which eased Gabriella, her blonde hair pooped against her tan skin, and she looked like she could be in her late 20s.

"Hi, I'm Amelia. You must be Gabriella. You don't know me, but I know so much about you." She spoke fast, Gabriella held out her hand which brought a smiled to Amelia's face.

"No hand shakes in this family, all hugs." She replied pulling Gabriella into a warm comforting hug, which was something that Gabriella needed. She had to admit if she was being forced to live with anyone, she was glad it was her.

"Come in, come in." Amelia said leading both Gabriella and her lawyer into the massive house. The wall stood a least twenty feel tall with a massive chandelier in the center. Her footsteps echoed as she walked across the wooden floor. As they made there way into the living room Gabriella sighed. Just before she entered she stopped, on the wall nearest to her hung an old picture what looked to be her mom and Amelia. Gabriella assumed that it was from college; they both held each other close and were laughing. She felt herself smile, as she studied the picture more.

"Gabriella, in here." She heard Amelia call, Gabriella quickly wiped a stray tear from her cheek and made her way into the living room. "Sharpay, Ryan; this is Gabriella." Amelia said gesturing to thee two teenagers standing next to her.

Sharpay squealed as she ran over and hugged Gabriella, "I just know that we are going to be so close." Sharpay said still holding Gabriella. She looked like an exact copy of Amelia, blonde hair and everything.

Ryan made his way over next, pulling Gabriella into a soft hug, "I'm so glad you're here." He said calmly; Gabriella smiled.

"Glad to be here." Gabriella replied still smiling. She turned to face Sharpay who was holding a small white kitten in her hands.

"She's for you, a welcome gift. It was my mom's idea." Sharpay said. Gabriella took the cat from her hands; it weighed next to nothing and started up at Gabriella with large blue eyes.

"You can tell her all your secrets. That's what mom always tells me to do." Sharpay continued. Scratching the kitten from the bottom of its chin making it purr. "We all have one." Sharpay said smiling, "Us girls I mean." She finished looking at her mom.

"Thank you." Gabriella said touched cuddling the kitten underneath her chin making it purr even louder.

"Why don't you two go show Gabriella her room? I have to talk to Gabriella's lawyer for a moment." Amelia offered smiling.

"Actually mom I was going to meet up with some friends for a while." Ryan said walking over to face Amelia.

"Sure dear, I'm sure Gabriella and Sharpay will find plenty to do." Amelia replied smiling at Gabriella and Sharpay who smiled back.

Gabriella and Sharpay made there way up the grand staircase, Gabriella's kitten in her arms.

"Her name is Kara. My mom named her." Sharpay said, turning to face Gabriella.

"Kara." Gabriella said, looking down at the tiny kitten in her arms whose big blue eyes were staring back at her.

"It means the golden one in Italian." Sharpay said as they walked down the hallway.

"I really hope you like your room, I designed it and everything." Sharpay said facing Gabriella with her back towards the door.

Sharpay opened the door slowly; Gabriella's mouth nearly fell to the floor as she looked around her. It was the most colorful room she had ever seen and probably one of the largest too. Dark wooden floors covered the room; her bed was on the opposite sided of the room teal and blue sheets covered the bed, while teal and gold draperies surrounded the dark wooded bed. Funky colored shag carpets covered the floor while a massive wall of books faced across from the white stone fireplace in the center of it all.

Both Sharpay and Gabriella now sat on the couches that surrounded the fireplace. "Sharpay, this is amazing." Gabriella said still in shock and she stroked Kara.

"Well mom said I could go all out. So I did. I think she regrets it now." Sharpay replied laughing. Gabriella too laughed; sitting herself up she made her way over towards the massive bookcase.

"I mean this collection. There has to be a least three hundred books." Gabriella said pulling one off the shelf.

"Well my mom said that you love to read." Sharpay said placing her hand on one of the shelves. Sharpay looked at Gabriella, she could never imagine going through what Gabriella was, she just wanted to make it as comfortable as possible. She needs someone to talk to and be close with.

"There gold paged and bounded and everything." Gabriella said still in aw as she studied the book in her hand.

"Only the best." Sharpay said making her way back towards the couch, Gabriella soon followed. "So you like it?" Sharpay asked.

"Love it, especially Kara. Where is your cat?" Gabriella asked curious.

"Sorella." Sharpay said quietly. They both waited a few moments, Gabriella was confused for a moment, but before she could say anything a brown and black tabby cat quickly jumped into Sharpay's arms.

"Wow," Gabriella said awestruck.

"I know right, I think they have super sensitive hearing or something." Sharpay said stroking Sorella.

"They?" Gabriella asked

"Pieta." Sharpay said in the same tone that she had called Sorella. Much like how Sorella had appeared, the light orange cat jumped onto the back of Gabriella's couch walking across it with ease.

"Pieta is your mom's?" Gabriella asked. Sharpay nodded.

"I really think you are going to like it here Gabriella." Sharpay said looking at Gabriella.

"I think I am too." Gabriella replied smiling, she really believed that she would. She felt a quick connection with Sharpay she was very easy to talk which Gabriella knew would come to good use.

"My mom said that your birthday is Sunday." Sharpay said, looking at Gabriella who nodded turning her attention to Kara who was sitting in her lap. How horrible, Sharpay thought to herself. Her birthday is just two days away and she is being forced to spend it with people she barely knows.

"How about we go to the mall on Sunday to celebrate, that walk in closet isn't going fill itself." Sharpay said softly, she wanted to badly to comfort Gabriella. Gabriella could help but laugh at Sharpay's comment; she hadn't even noticed that she had a walk in closet.

"Sounds like a plan." Gabriella replied with a smile.

That night Gabriella and Sharpay lit Gabriella's fireplace for the first time. With hot coco with extra large marshmallows in hand, they sat together the whole night with Kara and Sorella. Gabriella knew that this would soon become a tradition between her and Sharpay spending as many nights as they could by the fire.

So what did you guys think of the new story? Should I continue? This is completely new to me so don't be too surprised if I ask for your opinion a lot.

So if you haven't figured it out yet the trunk that was in the back of the car is what is going to reveal to Gabriella who she really is and where she came from, I have a few idea about what is going to be in there, but if you have any idea, I'd love to hear them.

If any of you guys know anything about magic and all that good stuff the Internet always works but I'd much rather hear it from you.
