Chapter 1: I'm A Monster

'I'm a monster.' I jolted upright from my peaceless slumber. The sad, yet vicious male voice from my dream still lingered in my mind. The boy sounded...alone. 'I'm a monster.' I sighed and slid the blankets off my pale legs and swung them over the side of the bed. I knew my dream wasn't a dream, but a vision. I had them often...because I was a psychic.

I began having visions when I was a young child. "It's your imagination, Mia," my father would always say to me when the little black haired girl came running to tell him about her scary dreams. Not until the "dreams" began coming true did my parents realise that there was something more to their terrified little girl's fears. I was psychic. Both of my parents mysteriously went missing when I was 7 years old. They went to see some Hunters and never came back.

My father was a strong man with sandy brown hair and dark brown eyes. He was kind and was like by many. My mother was a fair haired woman with bright silver eyes like mine. She was beautiful and cared for everyone deeply. I never had visions of my parent's whereabouts or even their faces after they disappeared even though I had tried to for years. It was like they were lost, and eventually the Hunters and the human authorities gave up their search for my parents and declared them deceased.

I rubbed my tired silver eyes and reached onto my bedside table for the medication bottle prescribed to me for Insomnia. No more visions tonight. I needed my sleep because tomorrow I was to begin classes at a new school: Cross Academy. My nanny had suggested it, and I had reluctantly agreed to end my homeschooling and begin classes at a real school with real people. I was seventeen and had never been to a real school, but I didn't mind. I knew all I needed to know, and I didn't need friends to keep me occupied. I had music and books for that and I had been content for years.

Soon, the artificial sleep consumed me and I fell into an empty slumber. This was just a night in the life of me, Mia Kiyouya.
