Sometimes, an hour can feel like eternity. Time is different for different people, and for some, it doesn't even exist

Jasmine Isaksson was looking forward to the summer holidays. All year she'd been sitting in the school classrooms, hearing the teachers complaining about how misbehaved her class was. It was going to be great with some time off. Hopefully, something interesting would happen.

~*~*~*~

Jasmine was sitting on a plane to London, with her mom. They were going to be there for a week.

"SAS welcomes you to London, we hope you've had a delightful flight and we hope to see you again."

~*~*~*~

"So this is London?" Jasmine asked

"Yeah. Come on, there's Marie." Jasmine's mom said

They walked over to Marie. Marie was a middle-aged woman with shoulder long, dark brown hair and brown eyes.

"Hi Arame." Marie said

Marie hugged Arame. Then she turned to Jasmine.

"And this must be your daughter." Marie said

"I'm Jasmine." Jasmine said

"Nice to meet you."

Marie and Jasmine shook hands.

~*~*~*~

"Wow, is this your house?"

"Yeah, it's beautiful isn't it?" Marie said

Jasmine looked at the house Marie lived in. It was a quite big, Victorian looking house. Marie was right, it was beautiful.

~*~*~*~

It was later that day when Jasmine and her mom had met Marie's family and they were all sitting by the dinner table.

"So how do you like England so far?" Marie's husband, Ben asked

"I love it." Jasmine said

"Well, you haven't seen London yet." Marie's son, Eric said

"We will tomorrow." Arame said

Jasmine was lying in her bed that night, reading when she suddenly heard something outside the window.

She got out of the bed and went to have a closer look and that's when she saw it. A boy, a bit older than Jasmine, he had short brown hair and was wearing Jeans and a t-shirt. He was looking up at the house.

'That's strange.' Jasmine thought

She decided not to think about that anymore and went back to her bed. She turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Little did she know that outside, the boy was still standing there, observing the house, until he walked back into the forest behind the house.

End of Chapter 1: I know it's lame and short but I just wanted to get on with it quickly, next chapter will be longer.
