A Stranger In the Shadows

Chapter 1 Meeting Meriam

I was walking down the back street of the school like I do every day when I say this old lady doubled over almost as she was in pain. She must have been it was 20 degrees and there was a cold breeze, I was nervous, do I help her? Do I leave her? I decided I would place my jumper over her carefully as not to scare her. Before I had made the slightest movement, she sat up straight slowly turning around. "Thank you, most people would have kept walking, you have pure kindness in your heart, thank you Bella."

How did she know my name? How did she know what I was going to do? This little old lady had almost silver hair in the sunlight that went down to her shoulder blades, by the looks of it she hadn't bathed or brushed her hair in weeks.

"Come sit my child," she said.

"But what about school?" I wondered out loud.

"You have many things on your mind other than school my dear," She spoke no word of a lie I wondered how she knew these things, I was going to find out if I stayed, so I did. Eventually I found out her name was Meriam.

2 hours later my phone rang, it was my mum Renee. "Bella I just got a call from the school where are you? Why is this the 5th time this has happened in two weeks?"

"Mum I'm fine, I saw a lady on the back street on my way to school and because its freezing outside I stopped to check if she was ok, she is ok and I'm bringing her home in 10 minutes, then I will go straight to school ok?"

"No Bella it's not ok, you can't leave a total stranger in our house! On my way home I will be buying tickets, you need to live with Charlie for a while, the holidays are coming up soon."

"Ok mum bye,"

Turns out this old lady knew more about me than I did, it was like she had grown up with me been in my head. It was strange, but stranger still she looked almost familiar to me. She told me that I will be going to Forks on Saturday which meant I only had 4 days before I left, she told me that while I was there I would meet an amazing guy, but that meeting him could be dangerous.
