Starlight – Chapter 2
The door of the office always annoyed Leith. Whenever you would push it open, it would screech and make unearthly sounds, as if you were killing it.
"I suppose that's so the principal will never miss someone coming in" Leith quietly thought.
As Leith fully entered the room, the principal, Mr. Draven, looked up. A hint of fear could slightly be seen on his face, and as Leith tried to get a better look, Mr. Draven's face was back to normal. A motion to sit down was made, and Leith took the slightly puffy chair that was opposite the principal's desk.
"I suppose you'll be wanting answers now?" came the raspy voice of the principal.
"Yes." was the reply. "I am here to figure out why you have been holding me here all my life, when you know I don't have any parents, and you know that I don't belong here."
Mr. Draven sighed and ran his hands through his hair. His dark black hair was shiny in the light, but looked as evil as anything in the dark.
"Alright Leith. We'll do it your way. You want to know the answers?"
Mr. Draven threw a packet of papers on his desk, and Leith was able to catch a glimpse of the title. That glimpse was enough to give Leith the shivers. The simple three words on the top of the page, struck understanding in Leith, as he had memories of those words. This packet concluded what he dreamt of, and was afraid of.
