Chapter 1
She gasped as she sat up quickly in her bed. She breathed deeply as she looked out the window. She watched the rain pound and slide against the glass. The thunder clapped once more as lightening struck and lit the night sky. Katana, now 16, rubs her head from the head-ache she had gotten from waking up so suddenly.
"What kind of was that?" She asked herself. She looked over at her movie case on the dresser next to her bedroom door.
"I gotta stop watching Bones." She said to herself as she climbed out of bed. She went to her dresser and took out the DVD Bones. The case had a red face with yellow demon eyes. She walked out of the room as she chucked it in her trash bin. She went to her bathroom to rinse her face. She cupped her face with water. When she lifted her head to face the mirror, she saw a man or a monster with long jet black hair and blazing red eyes that smiled right at her. She jumped back against the wall with her eyes wide open with surprise. Many bottles of shampoo and perfume fell as she tried to gather herself. She walked towards the mirror again to double check what she just saw; it was her own face in the mirror. As it should've been.
"Katana!" Her mother called from her room. Katana turned her head towards the door, keeping her eyes on the mirror.
"Yeah." She called back in an awkward voice.
"Are you alright?"
"Uh huh, I'm fine." She began to play with her hair in the mirror.
"I think." She said quietly to herself.
The next morning, Katana was heading down stairs, ready to go to school. She tried to forget about the dream she had the other night as she ate her toast.
"Morning Daddy." She said as she kissed her father's head.
"Hey Katana." He took a sip of coffee as he continued to read his paper.
"Hi mom."
"Good-morning, snooks." She replied. Katana sighed and drooped her head.
"Mom, I thought we agreed when I was 14 not to call me that." She said looking back at her.
"Yes," Her mother said. "But then we agreed when you were 15 that I can call you what ever I want except when your friends are around or in public." A sweat drop appeared in Katana's head.
"Oh yeah." She said in a low tone. Suddenly, a big yellow bus came in front of the house.
"Gotta go," Katana said as she rushed to the door. "Love you!"
"Love you, too." She rushed onto the bus as her mother's voice faded behind the door.
