Chapter 1

As Astaria looked out the window she noticed something out of the ordinary. Owls. 27 wide awake owls in the middle of they day and they all seemed to be looking at her. All of the owls but one had a letter in their beak which confused her even more.

" Johnny come on get your lazy butt out of bed NOW! Mum made pancakes and she won't give me any until you come down!" She heard her too-old-to-be-whining step-brother call. She giggled at the thought of her brother in a diaper with a dummy crying like the baby. He always acted like when it came to food.

"Ok, Mitch I'm here you don't need to yell." I told him as mum gave him a plate of pancakes and yes I do call Suzan mum cause she's the closest thing I've ever had to one .

" Finally!" And he stuffed his face full if pancakes and syrup. "Mitchell David Hawthon that is not how you eat pancakes!" Mum yelled at him "Star show him how you eat pancakes with manners." She said giving me my plate.

I ate with the smallest bites "Now that's how you eat pancakes." Mum said. When she turned around I took a huge bite chewed but not swallowed and stuck my tongue out at Mitch as he did the same.

"Heading to work now you need a ride to anywhere Johnny." My bro said as he finished his pancakes. "No thanks just gonna head to the park and then to the beach." I told him as I took my skateboard and longboard out with my backpack and headed to the door.

"After you me-lady." Mitch said and he opened the door and bowed. I snickered "why thank you kind Sir." I responded and left the house.

I skated towards the park and realised there was a man watching me. He had blond short hair, looked around Mitch's age probably older and was wearing jeans and a red t-shirt.

As I noticed he kept following me I stopped. I took my pepper spray out of my bag and put it in my pocket. Mum gave it to me just in case and said its was all girls should have just in case.

When I got to the park I put my stuff down beside a huge tree and climbed to the top with my pencil,sketch pad and rubber. As I sat on the highest branch I saw two birds side by side and I couldn't think of a better thing to draw so I did. When they flew away I had just finished drawing them and began to draw the background.

I looked down at my watch 10:32am. Wow i was up here for half an hour. I climbed down and I saw the same guy from before. I sighed 'Great I have my own personal stalker what more could I want?' I thought to myself sarcastically.

I skated down to the beach, took off my clothes (I had swimmers under it)

took my board and went for a surf. One of the only times that I can just relax and surf is when I'm in the water.

When I got out I saw the guy. My stalker but this time he was running away. But I just shrugged the thought off and went home.

When I got home I saw my mum on the couch staring at a letter. "Whose that for?." I asked while getting a juice from the fridge and expecting her to say either Mitch or herself. "You." She said in monotone making me drop my juice.
