Chapter 2
A woman ran through the streets with a bundle of blankets in her hand. Everything was silent and dark. She halted in front of a house and set the bundle down on the doorstep before she heard a loud POP! A man appeared next to her. She quickly glanced at him.
"I know why you're here, Severus. But you can't take her. She won't be safe." The man's shoulders slumped and he sighed.
"I know, but it was worth a try." He said. "Can you trust these people?"
"Yes. They're one of my daughter's aunt and uncle. You can trust Katie. She's a sweet girl." The woman said, her voice smooth as honey. The man grinded his teeth.
"You don't understand. She's my daughter. I can't just leave her with a bunch of people I don't know, Demeter." He said. The woman's eyes softened.
"She's my daughter, too. I can't leave her in a place that she won't be safe." She whispered and with that she rang the doorbell and disappeared. The man sighed and with a CRACK! he also disappeared.
I woke up with a start, thoughts running through my mind. What was that dream about? Who is Severus? Or that women, Demeter? It seemed like the time I came here, to 2 Mary Road. When I really think about it, Demeter is the name of the Greek goddess of agriculture. Is that just a coincidence?
I was brought out of my thoughts from a loud knock on the door.
"Chrys, are you awake yet? You're going to be late for school!" my mother's voice sounded.
"Coming!" I quickly got dressed in a yellow shirt, which had a cat on it, and dark blue jeans. I brushed my brown hair and ran down the stairs with it flying. My cousin Katie Gardner, who was visiting(her school ended before mine), laughed at me.
"Stop laughing, it's not funny!" I whined.
"Yes it is! At the mention of school, you are super excited! Just like Athe- I mean, my friends at home." At this I narrowed my eyes.
"Like who?" I asked suspiously.
"No one, just some of my friends!" She answered quickly.
"Santhy, you're going to be late for the bus!"
"Oh no." I started rushing, grabbing my backpack. "Where's my homework?"
"Calm down. Here it is."
"Thanks, bye." I said, taking it.
"Wait you haven't had breakfast!" Katie shouted, but I was already out the door. I arrived at the bus stop, panting. Just in time for the bus to pull up. When I got on the bus, one thought was lingering in my mind. Why was Katie acting this weird?
