Chapter 1- Unexcited

I watch as the ground slowly shrinks down to nothingness. I am on a plane to London, England right now, completely against my will. I loved New York City with its tall skyscrapers, diversity and, frankly, I think it's got the best food in the world. It's my home and it always will be. Even if a stupid agency is shipping me off to live with my brother in London. The reason for that being- death. My Aunt Harriet just died leaving me on my own. I pleaded with the agency to let me stay in New York, even if it means living by myself. But since I am only 17, it's illegal. Who even made that law? I am not saying that I am not looking forward to seeing by brother, Nate, for the first time in 3 years, but, I am still pretty glum. And completely unexcited.

It's a 5 hour flight to London, so, I make good use of my time and read. The whole flight. Reading is my best friend in this cruel, unloving world. It's my passion. When I am old enough, I want to become a successful author. Everyone I knew back home barely ever saw my face because it was always buried in a book. The only people that understood me and loved me like we were sisters were my best friends, Amy and Sarah. And now they too were being taken from me.

By the time we landed it was about 1 PM in the afternoon. It didn't look that way though. The sky was completely grey and there was fog everywhere. This makes me so much more hesitant to leave the safety of the plane. When I eventually do get off the plane I take a shuttle bus to my brothers house. It's right in the center of London, which amazes me because I don't know how he affords. He is such a lazy ass that I would find it hard to believe if he had a job.

As soon as I arrive at the house he practically attacks me with hugs and kisses.

"Oh my god Tessie I've missed you so much!", he says with glee.

"I've missed you too, Nate! Now if you don't mind getting off of me that would be appreciated."

"Oh, sorry. I just am so glad I will get to see you every day! Just like before..." He trails off because he knows I am sensitive about mom and dad dying. At least I have my big brother back.

"Yeah.", is all I can say. He steps away from me and looks me up and down.

"Wow, Tessie. You've gotten so tall! So you've finally decided to grow up, eh?" And the brotherly teasing begins. I glare at him as he laughs and helps me with my luggage.

His house is surprisingly big.

"So, do you have a job or something. How can you afford this?" I ask with a tone of awe in my voice.

"Yeah, actually. I work at Mortmain Co. Big British company. Pays really well."

Wow. Nathaniel Gray actually got a job. London is weird.

After we eat a lunch of mac and cheese I go to my bedroom. It's big. It has its own bathroom, a giant walk in closet, a giant flat screen T.V. and a giant waterbed. I think I like this Mortmain company. It must pay really well for Nate to be able to afford all of this. I unpack all of my clothes and put them nicely in my walk in closet. I then unpack all of my books and set them up neatly on the book shelf. I put my laptop on the desk, set up the bed to my liking and I am done. I decide to take a shower. The bathroom is big and smells really good.

After drying off and setting everything up in the bathroom, I decide to take a cat nap. I am still incredibly jet legged so hopefully a nap will help. The bed is so comfortable. I'm out like a light before my head even hits the pillow.

I am walking down an alley in the middle of the night. Ahead of me I can see two figures talking. When I am close enough to see there faces I stop. It can't be. They're dead. My parents turn and look at me. Instead of running into my embrace like I thought they would they glare at me.

"It's all your fault we died, Theresa. You should be ashamed." My father says.

"If it weren't for you we wouldn't have gotten into that car accident." My mother snaps. I want to cry and hug them and tell them I'm sorry but I can't even move.

"We were, after all, shopping for your Christmas gift.", my mother continues."You are a stupid, stupid little girl and we hate you".

I want to scream but I can't. Why are they blaming me for they're deaths? Why do they hate me? All of the sudden they break into a fit of evil laughter and start melting. What the hell is going on? They melt into a pool of blood that slowly rises and grows. I try to run but my feet won't let me. It's like they are glued to the ground. The blood rises up to my chest and I still cannot get my feet to move. The blood eventually envelopes me, trapping me in a world of darkness.

I wake up with a start. I am panting and drenched in sweat. I've been having that same dream for years now. Ever since my parents died. Before I can ponder it any more my stomach growls. I never realized how hungry I was. I get up and go to the kitchen. I grab some cheese and apples and run back to my room. After I am done eating I read my favorite book in the entire world, A Tale of Two Cities. I've probably read this book like 20 times but it never gets old. After reading for a couple hours I shout a goodnight to my brother and try to sleep. But something else is on my mind. School. And it starts tomorrow.
