CHAPTER 1
I stared at myself in the mirror. Auburn slightly wavy hair that flows down to my waist, tan skin, 5"6 and skinny, a slender nose, an oval shaped face, and those electric blue eyes that made everyone else know that I am different. I stared at myself, wanting so much to be normal, to be like the other Souls.
My parents had to leave early in the morning today so I had the house to myself until my best friend Spencer came over. Spencer was the only other person in the world that was like me. He had sandy blond hair that falls into his neon green eyes, he was about 5"8, and he had muscles and a six-pack from doing one hundred sit-ups and fifty push-ups every morning.
I went into my room, it was big, it had a dark red hardwood floor, white walls, and the furniture was also white, my bed had a white mattress that was memory foam, the pillows were also memory foam, the sheet was dark red and very fluffy, there was also a white baby grand in one of the corners, my closet was a huge walk-in closet, I had my own porch, one wall was entirely glass, and finally I had my own bathroom. My parents loved to pamper me; they got me whatever I wanted because they wanted me to feel welcome. It was a very good effort on their part but even they can't stop the judging eyes.
I went into my closet and looked through my endless wardrobe. I ended up wearing dark blue skinny jeans, a white tank top, a sandy coloured loose knit cardigan, and a multi-coloured sheer scarf. I was wearing baby pink flats with little golden bows all over it.
I walked into my bathroom and decided to leave my hair natural; I put my make-up on, deciding to keep it natural today and only putting on powder and mascara.
I went to my baby grand and played a song that I was working on. I had just started writing my own music so I wasn't sure if I liked the direction that this song was going in, but I wanted to finish it and see how it turned out.
I was in the middle of playing a new part when I heard the front door open and close again, assuming it was Spence, I continued playing. It was only when I heard voices downstairs that I froze, my fingers hovering in midair and my eyes unblinking, were staring straight ahead.
I silently got up and walked out of my room, not even daring to breathe. My legs were shaking so bad that I thought I was going to fall walking down the stairs. I froze when the voices started again.
"Eggs, milk, meat! Oh man, I can't remember the last time I had chicken." Definitely not Spence.
"Shut up Ian, just grab as much as you can, we have no idea when these souls are coming home." I heard a second voice say.
"Fine, you are the boss, Jared." The one named Ian grumbled.
"I'm going to go check upstairs, you meet me up there when you're done." Oh crap! They were coming upstairs? I was on the steps hyperventilating, but when I heard the footsteps come closer; I snapped out of it and ran into a closet in the middle of the hall.
I looked around for something that I could use as self-defence. Unfortunately this was the closet that we used to keep our towels in so there was nothing I could use.
I closed my eyes and held my breath as footsteps passed. I opened them when I heard a door open, then realizing that it was the door to my room they went wide. I felt my eyes fill with tears and covered my mouth with my hand in an attempt to silence them.
My front door opened again and I prayed that it wasn't Spence walking through that door, but when I heard that cheerful voice saying, "Hey Auden!" The tears turned into sobs, I took a deep shuddering breath in as an attempt to calm myself. If anything, it seemed to make it worse.
"Auden? Where are you?" I heard Spence call out again, then footsteps running past my closet and down the stairs, silence, and then a thump.
I opened the closet door and bolted down the stairs. I didn't care if something bad happened to me because that was my best friend, the only other one like me, he only one that truly accepted me. I was not going to let anything happen to him.
"Spencer!" I screamed when I saw him on the ground in a headlock by a man with brown streaked sun-bleached golden hair, light tanned brown skin, honey colored eyes, and a long thin nose.
Another man turned to look at me, he was very tall and muscular, with pale, messy black hair, and a straight, aquiline nose.
Without thinking about it I ran towards the man who had Spence in a headlock. I attempted to push him off of Spence, but the other one ran towards me and picked me up and pushed me against the wall. I closed my eyes and struggled against his grasp.
"Let her go!" I heard Spence roar, I opened my eyes just in time to see Spence get slapped across the face. My eyes darted back towards the man who held me and when he met my eyes he gasped and dropped me to the floor. I made myself look as small as possible, not taking my eyes off anything.
"Jared!" The man who had held me barked, "Look at their eyes."
The man named Jared turned to look at Spence his eyes widened when he saw the neon green eyes. Jared scrambled off of him, and the second he was free I crawled over to him and he pulled him into a hug; his protective arms circling me.
I quietly sobbed into his shoulder thinking, we are going to die.
I hope that you liked this chapter. Please tell me what you think.
