CHAPTER1

WHO?

SNAP! I must have fallen asleep because I woke to the sound of some-one or some-thing stepping on something. "Who's there?" I asked cautiously

"Who are you?" a male voice harshly said

"That depends; who are you?"

"Ha! This chick has a damn good sense of humor. Can we keep her David?" another male voice said proudly

"Marko" the first voice (David) said

"What," the second voice (Marko) said "What David?"

"Shut up!" A third male voice said

"Awww c'mon Paul laugh a little will ya?" Marko joked

"Why should I?" Paul joked back

"Hey!" Marko said as if realizing something "Why aint ya said nothin Dwayne?"
"NOTHING?" Dwayne said

"Very funny." Marko mused

"Enough! All of you; shut up!" David hollered at everyone "What's your name?" he said harshly (I didn't answer)

"Can you at least tell me your name?" Marko said soft and sweet. I'm liking Marko already. He had short, curly, dirty blonde hair. A blue t-shirt that had Def Leopard on it. Denim jeans. And sneakers. "Please, love?" there was a look in his eyes, though, I just couldn't place it. While half my mind was telling me not to trust them; the other half said trust him, trust Marko. So trust him I did.

"My name is Jaedyn." I said so only he could hear

"Beautiful name love!" Marko said just as quiet "Hey, you need a place to stay love?" Marko asked with excitement in his voice

"I suppose I could use a place to stay." For some reason the closer he got the more the mark on my right wrist burned. This was a mark I've had for 3 years now. I'm 16 now so I got it when I was 13. "And thanks, for what you said about my name. I don't get that much."

"Too bad love," Marko said (I ignored him calling love) "Cuz it's true. Soooooooo whatcha say David?"

"Fine." David grumbled
