Hey everyone! This is my first fanfiction so I hope you like it! I've been having so many ideas for one for such a long time and now I'm attempting on writing one. :)

Chapter One

I walked down the dark street, trying to make it home fast. I was a little buzzed from the party that I had just left so I was a little paranoid. I could have sworn that I was hearing footsteps behind me. Once I heard the footsteps again I pulled a cigarette out of my pack that I had in my pocket. I lit the cigarette and took a long drag off of it. I'm almost home, I'm almost home. That's what I kept repeating in my head, trying to comfort myself. As I finished my cigarette I threw it to the ground. Right when I seen it hit the ground I was tackled by someone or something.

"Get off!" I screamed my adrenaline really running now. I looked up at the thing that had tackled me to the cold ground. It had blood dripping from its mouth, it looked human.

BEEP BEEP BEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEEEEP

I awoke from my sleep, sweating profusly. I slammed my hand on the alarm clock to turn it off. I sat up in my bed, rubbing my eyes gently. "Why do I keep having these dreams?" It was the same dream every time. But I never got through it. It always stopped in the same spot. I kept racking my brain as I pulled the covers off from me and walked over to my dresser that was across my room.

"Hmm..What to wear today?" I grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra from my drawer, then made my way over to the closet. As my ice blue eyes looked across the closet, I grabbed a black mini skirt that had chains on it. I grabbed my purple invade zim shirt that had gir on the front and said 'I'm makin' waffles'. I walked out of my room and down the hallway to go to the bathroom and shower. I knocked on the door and heard my brother.

"What?" He screamed through the door at me.

"I need to take a shower before school!" I screamed right back at him. I heard him laugh and I slammed my fist on the door some more, hoping it would get him to hurry up.

"That sucks for you!" He screamed after I was pounding on the door. I heard him shuffling around in the bathroom.

I screamed down the stairs to my mother, "Mom! Jakk won't get out of the BATHROOM!" I emphasized the last word as I waited for her reply. I didn't hear a reply so I placed my clothes on the wooden floor. I started walking down the steps before I heard the bickering between her and my step-father. I made it down the stair and stood in the living room. A loud sigh escaped my lips so they would see that I was standing right there.

My mother looked up at me, "Yes, dear?" She said in a slightly annoyed voice.

I looked down at her and shook my head as my step-father walked past me, bumping into my shoulder as he passed. I gave a glare to him, but he didn't notice. "Jakk won't get out of the bathroom so I can take a shower before school." I told her in a slightly whimpering voice.

"You don't HAVE to shower today, just go get dressed or else your going to be late anyway. Take a shower when you get home." She said emphasizing on some of her words.

I shook my head slightly and turned around to march back upstairs so I could go in my room. Jakk this and Jakk that. That's all she cares about, I swear. I can't wait for another two days. Then I'm eighteen and I can never have to look back on this stupid family. I grabbed my clothes from the top of the stairs, running to my room and slamming the door. I jumped onto my bed and screamed into my pillows. After releasing my anger I jumped up from bed and started to get dressed into my school clothes. After I was dressed I grabbed my Black Veil Brides messenger back from my bedroom floor and I was out the front door before you knew it. I met up with my best friend on my walk to school. "Ugh! I can't believe her! She's such a bitch sometimes!" I started letting my anger out again, explaining to my best friend what had happened this morning.

She looked at me, with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm sorry that she's like that. Please calm down before we get to school Melody." She put a calming hand on my shoulder and I took a deep breath.

"Fine." I said in defeat as I gave her a side hug. "Man your the best friend that anyone can ask for Tabb." I smiled at her as she hugged me back and we had finally arrived at school. There was a bunch of comotion outside the front of the school the first thing that came to my mind was a fight. But it seemed that the school doors were locked. I pushed through the crowd until I got to the front. I read the paper on the front door of the school. "For safety reasons we will not be opening the school doors until next week." I screamed at the top of my lungs then ran back through the crowd to make my way back to Tabb. "The school is closing until next week. You'd figure that they would send letters in the mail or something!" I screamed again, not wanting to go home.

My best friend looked at me, giving me another hug. "Come on, we can go to the park or something." She said as she started to walk away from the school. I walked with her and pulled out my pack of cigarettes. This brought back memories from my dream.

"Maybe we should both just go home. I'm just going to go back home and go back to sleep." I sighed and she looked at me. She shook her head and we went our seperate ways.

I was walking home when I started to notice rain drops. I still had a ways to go when it started to down pour. I screamed at the top of my lungs and then I heard something in the woods next to me. It sounded like a screech of some kind so I started to run towards my house. My heart was beating faster as I was running faster and faster. I didn't even think my feet could move so fast. Only two more houses to go! I was screaming in my head and then reached my house, running up the short driveway and into the house. I threw my bag down the hallway and onto the stairs as I fell to the floor, panting from all the running. As my ass hit the floor I looked straight down the hallway. There was blood on the hallway floor, flowing from the kitchen. I took quiet deep breaths as I stood up and started to slowly walk towards the kitchen.

Once I reached the kitchen and I slowly peeked my head around the corner of the doorframe there was a body laying on the kitchen floor. I seen the feet and the blood puddle. I then leaned down towards the floor and to my horror it was my mother laying there on the cold kitchen floor. I heard a door slam upstairs and then heard footsteps descending down the stairs. I hurriedly held my screams of horror in and my tears started to fall, I was frozen there. MOVE! MOVE DAMMIT! I was scolding myself in my mind then finally hurried up and ran to the living room across the hall. I hid on the other side of the couch. The tears kept flowing down my cheeks, I tried to quiet my sobbing as I heard the footsteps stop infront of the kitchen door. My heart was pounding as I peeked my head around the couch, seeing my step-father, all bloodied and bruised with a butcher knife in his hand.

I was frozen behind the couch now as I stared at my mothers scared, dead face. "Meeeelody!" My step-father called out to me. As I heard him say my name I realized that I had left my school bag on the stairs. He knew I was here. I didn't know how I was going to escape. All the memories of my mother came sweeping back to me quickly. I tried not to cry as I knew that he could probably hear me. I heard his footsteps go back up the stairs.

Once I heard his footsteps going up the stairs I ran for the back door. I made it to the back door and ran outside. I started running towards the road after jumping the backyard fence. I made it to the road and totally forgot that I had heard things in the woods earlier. That dream had me freaked out to no end. When I ran down the road I looked around, making sure I didn't see anything dangerous. I couldn't see anything in my view so I just kept running. I ran until I couldn't feel my feet anymore. I don't even know where to go.. I thought to myself as my running turned into a slow walk. The sun was beginning to set as I seen a abandoned mansion down the road. Where did that come from? I had just realized that I had never been down this road before. I was so out of it I didn't even know where I was.

As I approached the mansion it hadn't seemed like anyone lived in it for years. "Well, looks like I'm staying in here for tonight." I sighed as I began to walk up the long drive. When I finally reached the mansion I had thought I seen someone walk past one of the windows. I took a double take and seen no one there. Come on mind! Quit it already! I assumed my mind was playing tricks on me. I walked up to the mansion front door and seen that the door was cracked slightly. "That's od-" Right before I could finish my sentence I felt something hit me in the back of my head, instantly knocking me out.

Yes, I'm leaving you guys with a little cliff hanger. Sorry. I will update tomorrow! Please review! =)
