Destined
I didn't know what to think next when I saw the dead guy standing next to my locker. Kayla was talking to me in her usual K-Babble, so I decided to ignore it, I mean, it's probably my imagination. Yeah, that's it.
"OMG, aren't you excited for Heath's, oh Heath's, football game tomorrow night? I mean he's your boyfriend-" I cut Kayla off.
"Almost boyfriend." I smiled gleamly.
"Fine. Almost boyfriend. Well he will be there, and I mean last game, he wasn't that drunk. Or high. Okay.. maybe he had like six beers, and three shots, but big whoop- nothing major!" Kayla explained. "Zoey? Zoey?"
"Y-Ye-yeah." I stuttered.
"Are you okay?" I started to shake my head no, when the dead guy spoke.
"Zoey Montgomery, Night chooses thee. You will now be Marked, your destined to be at the House Of Night!" He pointed one, long finger at my forehead. It exploded in pain, and I fell over. The dead guy disapeared, and everything went black.
*****
Darkness. Darkness was all I could comprehend. All I could see. All I could imagine. I was not bearable. I don't remember much about myself.
My name is Zoey Montgomery. I am 15 years old. My parents names are Linda Heffer, and Steploser. I hate him, he's not my Dad. Just an unwanted visitor- not wanted- not needed.
I thought hardly. What had happened to me? Why was I swallowed in darkness? Memory crashed me with despair, and reality. And a blinding life stretched before me, and swallowed me. Please help me...
My eyelids fluttered, and I gazed above me. Kayla was hovering over me, her eyes popping out of her head like a fish. Despite the terrible situation, I laughed. "Kayla, your eyes are popping out of your head like a fish." I laughed larder.
"Zoey, are you okay? He Marked you Zoey-" She broke into sobs. "Who's going to go to school with me? To games? Oh Zoey! I will miss you!" She cried louder. I pulled her close to me, and hugged her hard.
"I will miss you to K. I promise I will call you in about a week. I need to get settled in first. Loves you K." I hugged her closer, stood up. I walked away, hearing her sobs whisper behind me.
