Chapter 3

April 28, 2013

The next day when I got to school, G wasn't at her locker and when I got to Mrs. Elves, class she wasn't there either. She wasn't in the other 3 classes or at lunch either. And at the end of the day she wasn't there also, so I just thought she was sick or something. When I got home there was a letter for me and the rest was for my dad.

I opened the letter and gasped; also my face got harder. The letter said:

"Dear Roxanna Blacknight,

If you ever want to see your friend, Gabriele Spirit, ever again. Come to this address in Berlin, Germany and NO one can come with you. If someone does they will immediately die or will be killed. You have a week to get here or your friend dies. Oh, and one more thing—I'm watching you.

Sincerely,

Your worst nightmare!)

I quickly put the note into my pocket and ran up the stairs; up to my room. I got changed into black skinny jeans, a black tank, a black base ball cap, and my black boots; I don't make a noise wearing them. I put the note into my back jean pocket and grabbed a couple par of clothes to wear; I put them into my bag and ran down the stairs.

I put a note on the fridge for my dad, so that he knew what had happened. I grabbed my call phone, my bag that I had in case of emergencies, and my keys to the house. I walked down the steps, opened the gate, and set off to save my new best friend.

X-X

Then I woke up with a start because I heard a loud noise and I was sleeping in a tree; 50 feet above the ground. It's been two days or zwei, that's German for two, I've showered, changed my clothes because I can… umm, never mind you wouldn't believe me if I told you. But you'll find out sooner or later, so now let's get back to the loud noise.

I climbed down easily, when I was ten ft. off the ground, I saw a boy 'round my age; 16 yrs old. He had wavy midnight blue hair; almost black hair. I think he had electric blue eyes, but I didn't get a good look. He had on ratty clothes, but they were also descent looking.

I lightly jumped down and landed lightly, making sure that my boots did not make any noise. He must have heard me, somehow, because he whipped around to face me and since it was me I didn't show any emotion; I just looked at him. He looked at me, taking me in, my, now, light purple tank, dark purple skinny jeans with a rainbow painted on skull, my baseball cap, and finally my black boots. I was right he did have electric blue eye and, I don't know how I missed this, a black baseball cap on.

"Who are you?" he asked in a very heavy German accent. I didn't say anything and neither did he.

"Roxy." I said shortly and I gestured for him to say his. He nodded to me and I have a small English accent but I was born in Germany; so I have a faint German accent.

"My name is Amaub and where are you from?" he asked. I didn't say anything and then I heard running in the forest; I whipped round to see a gang come towards us. They came to a stop a few feet away and the leader was looking me up and down.

"Hey, Amaub, who's your little friend?" the leader asked him and, of course, his eyes never looked away from my glaring ones; he too had a heavy German accent. He had dark brown hair and it was straight, he has bluish gray eyes and it seems they always have a spark in them. He was wearing the same clothes as Amaub and he had a gang tattoo on his bicep; it was two arrows crossed and some fire behind it.

"This is Roxy. She doesn't talk a lot." Amaub said. I looked away from the leader, gave Amaub a quick glare, spun around; took off in the other direction. He was right, of course, because I didn't make a sound. I felt something hit me on my left thigh, but I hardly felt it anyway; I think it was a dagger.

I jumped over a log that was in the way and when I landed I definitely felt the dagger then. I cursed under my breath and looked back, which was a very bad idea. The gang was, like, 10 ft. away, I looked at my surrounding and saw a branch close to me. I bunched my muscles and jumped, right as one of the gang members lunged at me.

I propelled myself up on to the branch and immediately I started to blend into the tree. So you guessed it I'm 2% chameleon lizard and 2% something else you will find out soon. "Hey what's this?" the second in command asked. He picked up my notebook, I had my bag with me; I must have fell out when I was running or when I propelled myself up here. He started to read the cover.

"Welcome to my life: By Roxanna Blacknight. It must be that chick's notebook. You think we should read it?" he asked and they all nodded. Then the leader started to read it. I wasn't listening, I only heard when he my signature:

"Sincerely,

Roxanna Blacknight"

He stopped and smiled at this, but he only new 1/2 of my life; thank god not the other half. I jumped down and they all turn towards me. My face was expressionless and they all smiled nastily at me; except Amaub he had, I think, a knowing look and so did the leader. My left thigh was sore and I still haven't taken out the stupid dagger.

"Do you want this back, Roxanna? But I don't think I want to give it back because I saw that you have written some more down." He smile and motion for two of the guys to pin me to the tree. I let them though and then he turned the next page, started to read, but he stopped at the letter part.

"Is your last name really Blacknight?" he asked. I just looked at him and he nodded." you're not an only child I'm your brother, Roxanna. My name is….."But he was cut off by his phone going off. He answered it, he spoke quietly and in German, he nodded once; then he hung up.

He nodded to his men they moved me forwards, but before they could do anything. I kicked them both in the head, my bag was on my back, and I ran over to my "brother". I jumped and flipped over his shoulders, grabbed my notebook in the process, and took off.

Sincerely,

Roxanne Blacknight
