So this is my first story hope yall like it. Disclaimer I own nothing sadly.
In my sleep I dreamed. Dreamed that I was alone in a forest surrounded by tall trees, and for some reason I was screaming at the top of my lungs. The forest started to come alive then, I guess that's why I was screaming. The trees bark morphed into rough faces each laughing and mocking me. I started crying to. Large tears made pathways down my face.
"Payton, Payton" the trees started to chant movie closer and closer. Wait, the trees sounded ad awful lot like my mom.
I then awoke with a start. Jumping a little in my seat.
"Payton" my mom's voice sounded again, this time I turned my head to look at her. Her eyes and nose were red from crying.
"Judy" she said the name like a question. "Needs to talk to us."
With a yawn I talked for the first time.
"Ok."
Judy turned her body to face us. You think since she works for the government she would wear a seat belt. "You need names" with a sigh my mom replied.
"Can I be Carol" she asked very quietly.
"You can be anything but Patricia" she replied. "Girls" she glanced back towards Caitlyn and Cathleen. "I want to be Madeline'' stated Caitlyn. "And I want to be Mackenzie." Judy scribbled that down on her notebook. "Ill be John" my dad said without being asked. Judy scribbled that down to. Then she looked at me, so did everyone else. Even the burly driver glanced in the rearview mirror at me. "Payton Ray" I said still looking out the window at the blurred shapes of trees. She wrote that down to.
We had been driving for a while and I didn't know were we were going. I was naturally curios, but I didn't have to ask because Judy answered it for me.
"You're going to Forks; it's a small town in the middle of a forest. So your money will be very suspicious, and I transferred it into a government bank account then into a new one in an overseas account. You still have access to it just in small amounts. But there is a large sum in the local bank and there's a small amount in a safe in your house. Ok"
She didn't wait for a answer. She just kept on talking. But she turned to face us this time with a very serious look on her face
"You have to keep to the story. I do not feel like redoing everything. If one of you says anything call this number as soon as you realize it." She handed my dad a small white business cards "My job is to keep you safe. And I like my job." She looked me straight in the eyes. "You are not to tell anyone"
We had gone over and over the back story while they were changing our appearances. Dads a doctor and he was tired of big city life. So we moved to a small town. Mom was a nurse and she specializes in cardio radiology, whatever that is. I know it's a new practice. Only invented in 2078, three years ago.
I looked to different from the rest of my family to be part of them. That's why I was adopted. I didn't have the creamy skin or the strong athletic build. And I didn't have the clear ice blue eyes that my whole family shared. One of the only things I got to keep was my age. 17. I even would a have a valid Washington driver's license. All the paperwork my family would need to start over. All this within 24 hours. Gawd, the government can do some amazing things. It was fantastic; I guess you could get anything if you had money.
Out of nowhere there was a roar of an engine, and it wasn't ours. From be hide our SUV a car wove around us. Car was a loose term on the amazing vehicle that made it's was around us. It was sleek and silver; it had a clean and polished look to it. The metal caught a shine even thou there was no sun. The windows were tinted to dark to make out the people behind the wheel. We were going fast at least 60mph, and that car passed us without any problems. It speeds off in front of us, on the way to forks. Amazed I turned to face my sisters, there mouths were agape and had matching awed expressions. So they noticed to, but the rest of the car seemed oblivious to the car each was too involved in whatever they were doing to see anything else.
Maybe Forks wouldn't be too bad after all.
AN ohhh I wonder who it was..
Review please I'm curious to see what yall think.
