Chapter 2- Happy Freaking birthday to me!

"Surrenderin dear, wake up darling. Someone is here to see you." Mrs. Ray's voice awoke me from my sweet sleep. I groaned then opened my eyes (without looking at her) then walked to the bathroom.

"Alright, I'll be down in a moment or two. Let me just make myself look better." Without a reply I shut the door and put my contacts in then ran a brush through my long dark hair and inspected my reflection. Who would come to see me? I suddenly wondered but then figured it was probably just my caretaker wishing me a happy birthday. After approving my reflection I nodded and left my small room then my way down the hall. At the sight I saw I was shocked, well first of all there was a stack of presents on the bar and second foreign guy was standing in my living room smiling at me.

"Hey Surrenderin." He said in perfect English, and that's when everything went black.

xXx

I was suddenly was aware of a cool cloth on my forehead and a guy's voice saying my name. Slowly I opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings. Mr. Ray, Mrs. Ray, and not so foreign guy were leaning over me with worried expressions.

"Are you okay dear?" Mr. Ray quickly asked while placing his fingers against my neck. I slowly nodded then sat up but was quickly pushed down by foreign guy.

"Ya, I'm fine….Will you guys get me some water please, my friend here will help me." They nodded and left with one worried glance at me but as soon as they were turned around I sat up and grabbed him by the collar.

"I told you EVERYTHING! Thinking you couldn't understand!" I hissed, just thinking about it made me start to sway back and forth with the treat of passing out again. He quickly pushed me down and shook his head.

"Not to worry, I won't tell anybody, I swear. Plus I have some answers, you're not crazy." He whispered back but quickly sat up because Mrs. And Mr. Ray returned with some water. I quickly drank it down and sat up proving I was now okay. After a quick glance foreign dude (I still didn't know his name) pulled me to the couch for me to sit down. I did and my foster parents grabbed the gifts and sat them in front of me. First they handed me the small….dare I say it…..pink wrapped box and sat it in my lap. I unwrapped it and smiled up at them.

"Thank you, really. It means a lot to me." I said after unwrapping the small cell phone they had gotten me. They smiled back but Foreign dude paled a little, I quickly dismissed the thought and focused on the next package they handed me.

"This one is from Aaron." Oh so his name was Aaron…I looked down at the small blue wrapped package and unwrapped a small ring with a single black bat right in the center, it was perfect. I quickly slid it on my finger and looked at Aaron.

"Thank you, I love it." I smiled and he smiled back. Aaron was a tall boy with curly blonde hair and big blue eyes. He's body was strong and lean, and he had a tan complexion with high cheek bones, now I noticed he always wore a baseball cap and jeans.

"I'm glad you like it." I then noticed there were THREE gifts and I looked at it with confusion.

"Who is that from? I asked. Mrs. Ray shrugged.

"It showed up in the mail box this morning with your name on it, wrapped and all." The box was beautiful and completely black with silver bows and a single silver card laying on the front. Hesitantly I approached the box and opened the card.

My dearest Surrenderin,

I know we have never met but I know soon we will. First I….correction WE would like to say Happy Fifteenth birthday darling, and second BE PREPARED! In this package is something I want you to keep with you at ALL times. It will keep you safe, everything will be explained soon, trust Aaron….he knows what he is talking about. I can't say much now but until we mee,t goodbye.

Yours truly.

(ps. When the time is right call this number 212-573-6864 DO NOT USE A CELL PHONE! As soon as you call that number ask for a ride to camp. The person will know what you're talking about, then pack up and go.)

"So what did the letter say?" My foster mother asked. I shrugged, motioning it was nothing then reached for the package. For some reason as soon as I touched the wrapping I could feel power within the box. I quickly tore the paper and stared at the wooden box laying there with a single word carved in a different language. Ισχύς for some reason I knew exactly what it said….power. I then opened the box and stared down at the silver bracelet and necklace laying there. The bracelet was completely silver with an oval in the middle with swirls leading out and around the part where my wrist would be. The necklace was, as the bracelet was, completely silver. It was matching with an oval and swirls leading around it. Remembering the card I quickly put them on and let out a deep breath which was interrupted by Aaron.

"Do you want to take a walk?" He asked with a double meaning in his eyes. I quickly nodded and followed him out of the apartment. Hopefully for the first time in my life I would get the answers I wanted.
