Hey, here is chapter 1 and I'm sorry if this confuses anyone but I'm writing the rest of the chapters in present tense instead of past like the prologue I find it easier to write like that so once again sorry for the change of tenses but hope you enjoy the chapter !!

Disclaimer: I do not in any way own the Night World Series it belongs to L.J

Chapter 1- School

Today is the first day of school after the summer holidays. I'm a senior now, but I don't really care I hate school, always have always will. Today I'm going back to the whispered conversation in the hallways, the mindless chatter during class and the irksome drone of the teachers.

I'm considered unapproachable to the other students and I make sure that no-one ever gets within touching distance of me by surrounding myself with a 'Get the hell away from me' sort of air, and it works I'm never approached in any sort of way, and I tried to blend into the scenery as much as possible. The only people I even talked to during school are Bella and Daniel, but even that was very rarely.

A sudden banging on my door dragged me out of my inner monologue, making me jump. "Kait! We're living in 15 minuets!" Bella shrieked from the other side of my door. I didn't bother responding but climbed out of bed making some noise so that she would know I was already up, a few seconds later I heard her retreating footsteps. I shuffled into my en-suite bathroom, my foster parents are quite wealthy, and looked at myself in the mirror.

I guess I would look beautiful with my emerald green eyes, long black shiny hair that doesn't quite reach my waist and with it being naturally straight, my tall tanned body with curves in the right places and my legs that seemed to stretch on forever, but that's how I would look if over the years my emotions hadn't taken their toll on my appearance.

What I really looked like was a totally different story. I'm a girl with cold, hard, green eyes that hold no life and seem to be as empty and endless as a black hole. A girl with long straight black hair that doesn't quite reach my waist and used as a wall against everything and everyone around me. A girl with a tall tanned body and from afar looked strong, cool and kept together, but if you looked close enough you could see the slightly slumped set of my shoulders and posture, as if I were carrying a heavy weight, and the weariness it showed. That's what I really looked like. Someone who was worth nothing.

I turned away from the mirror quickly as I felt of emotion welling up inside of me as pictures of past events slowly started to assault me. I could feel the tears start to gather in the my eyes and closed them tight and took a few calming breaths. I knew I had to control the emotions and bury them before I began to drown in them and break down so I continued to take deep breaths and worked on keeping my as mind blank as possible like I've had to do many times before. A few minutes later it was over and heard myself sigh in relief.

I walked back into the bedroom and glanced at the clock. Crap! That had taken more time than I thought I only have 2 minutes to get ready before they leave. I quickly started rummaging through my closet and pulled out a pair of faded black skinny jeans and plain black top, then stripped out of my night clothes and chucked them on. I picked up my white converse about to head downstairs when I realised I hadn't packed my bag. I grabbed the new pencil case, pens and notebook from my desk and threw and them in, and while hoping I wouldn't need anything else for today ran out the room. On my way downstairs I nearly crashed into Daniel, who looked like he was on his way to get me. I mumbled an apology then moved past him to the front door, him following, and slid into the car with Bella already behind the wheel. Once Daniel jumped in we sped off to school. Oh the joy.
