OK ppl! here's chapter 2 =]

please review, it'd really mean a lot to me.

open for suggestions ;D


The train ride seemed long. But when we got off the train, everything seemed gorgeous. Trees everywhere, people, bikes, boats, buildings, everything I've ever imagined to be in Haven. Even from the train stop I could see Haven. The funny thing is, Haven is a place, but the one and only school there, is also called Haven.

Haven…the school I would be attending for the rest of my life...

From afar, Haven seemed like a huge gray medieval time castle. Every window was so detailed, and the doors were so big.

"Enough day dreaming there honey, it's time to load stuff onto my car and then we're heading off to my place." Aunt Rita said as she hustled into the crowd and soon disappeared.

"Aunt Rita-" It was no use, I couldn't see her, there were just so many people. I walked and walked around in circles, searching for my aunt. Then I saw, from afar, a boy with brown-orange hair sticking out from the crowd searching for something or someone, just like me. I walked up to him, hoping to have a companion while searching for my Aunt Rita. I tugged on his maroon long sleeve sweater.

"Hey um,-" He looked down into my teal blue eyes and I looked into his. His eyes were like golden Ferrero Rochers.

"What do you want? OH, the washroom's over there." He said in a cold voice while pointing to the washroom sign.

"Yea, I know-"

"Then what do you want?" He seemed like as if he was in a hurry, I didn't really want to bother him, but he seemed like around my age and lost himself. He seemed easy to approach.

"I'm kind of lost. Once I got off the train, I dozed off admiring the scenery. I mean my Aunt Rita did call me and said to go, but I was half daydreaming that time so I was still dozing off then I-"

"You talk a lot. If you were just lost…." His eyes were so dreamy I couldn't take my eyes off. "…GO TO THE LOST AND FOUND. Also, don't talk to strangers."

He was no use. Oh great, once I got off the train, I was lost. I began to feel lonely and abandoned. My vision started to blur. I looked down at my purple converses hoping that he wouldn't see me tearing up.

"I'm sorry, I thought I could have gotten –sniff-help from you. I'm sorry for bothering you-sniff-" I walked away carrying my backpack and dragging my luggage.

"a…Hey!"

I looked back at the brown-orange haired kid. "I said I was sorry."

"I know. You know, Haven's a small place. Everybody knows everybody-"

"So…?"

"I know your Aunt Rita I'm actually here waiting for her and her niece. I also know where she lives too, I could take you there if you want."

Him, helping me? Awesome! But, how come his attitude reminds me of someone familiar-Soul! This guy is just like Soul.

"Really? " I quickly ran towards him and he led the way.

There were so many people at the train stop that I almost lost the guy.

"AH…OW!" Some stupid person rolled their luggage over my converse. I nearly tripped.

"Hey, watch it. People here are like that." He grabbed hold of my shoulders with a firm grip and looked at my shoes. "Can you walk?"

I took one step, but –dang that luggage must have been heavy-I lost balance. He grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes.

"Here, hold on. If anything happens, call my name or whatever." He began to walk slowly, pacing himself to match mine.

"Um…"

"Yea?"

"Um…You see, I never got your name."

"Shane."

"I'm Nat."

"I know."

As we walked through the crowd, we were pushed and shoved. Not long after, we were outside the train stop. Luckily there were even less people there than inside. From afar I could see my Aunt Rita surrounded by a bunch of people. Obviously, she was asking if anyone saw me. I quickly ran over to her, forgetting about Shane ever helping me.

"Aunt Rita!"

"Nat!" She hugged me and looked up to where I have abandoned Shane. She stared at him then looked back at me smiling.

"Never mind people, no need for a search party. I've found her. Now, Nat, hurry up and pack your things. By the way, your brother and Maria are to never hear about this." She grabbed my luggage and shoved them into the trunk.

By the time, she started the car and drove, I remembered that I never said thank you to Shane. I looked back, but I didn't see anything nor anyone.

"How'd you get out?"

"Oh, some boy helped me. I never got to say thank you to him though. When he led me out, I was so excited to see you there I ran and forgot about him." I slowly sank into my seat feeling guilty.

"Oh, don't worry, Haven's a small place, you'll see him again. In fact, you'll see him by the time we get home."

"Aunt Rita, you say this as if you know the guy I was talking about even though I didn't say his name. I did ask for his name. It's a pretty rare name, it's-"

"Shane Dunn."

When that name was spoken, I felt electric shocks down my spine.

"Dunn? How…how did you know it was Shane?"

"He was supposed to pick us up. He lives me, he's basically like a son to me. I found him wandering around my neighborhood and talked to him. He was alone...no parents. He was always willing to help me. So I took him in. I didn't claim him as a son. More like a tenant. I feed him, provide shelter, pay for his school intuition, everything. Dear oh dear, he's just not so good in school nor at school." She gave out a big sigh and stopped at the intersection.

"Oh. Why's he alone? Does he go to Haven as well?"

"I think he's alone because his parents died in a car accident. Well, everybody in the neighborhood says that. But other than being a bad kid at school, he's very caring and helpful around the house."

"Can't wait to actually meet him as him." I mumbled to myself with a smirk.

"What did you say honey?"

He's just like Soul...Shane...Soul...both S's, I chucked and thought to myself.


if you have any questions, please feel free to ask or send me a msg =]

review ! ;D

to make things easier to understand, i will write something like this at the end of the chap to help make things clear to you readers.

characters:

Soul Hayes + Natalie Hayes = siblings

Soul Hayes=second brother

Natalie Hayes= youngest sister

Maria= maid/guardian

Becks(Rebecca Vriend)= Natalie's best friend

Aunt Rita=distant aunt of Natalie and Soul

Shane Dunn= lives with Aunt Rita (not a son)

other:

-Shane Dunn:

Shane's parents died in a car accident. He lived in Haven. The house that Aunt Rita owns in fact. He wanders around trying to see who lives in that house. When he met Aunt Rita, he felt that it would be nice to help her out around her place. In the end Aunt Rita asked him to stay and live with her since he seems to really like it at her place and he doesn't have a home or anything. So he does. He didn't plan on going to Haven but Aunt Rita signed him up. Aunt Rita has told him about the Hayes. That's how he knows Nat's name. He is actually a very caring person even though he sounds really mean towards people. Or just looks mean. He just doesn't show that he cares. He's just like Soul as Nat has said. Shane have brown hair with a bit or orange/red...kinda hard to imagine but yea. He has golden coloured eyes(aka dark yellow).
