Chapter one

Waiting silently for the bus to come, the girl gazed up the sweeping white stone staircase. Above the high trees she could see the roof of the temple, it was beautiful the large trees spread a blanket of pink and white blossom snow, which stirred in the gentle wind.

Amber stood still, starring up at the temple; this place had an odd feeling to it, almost as if it were familiar, almost as if she'd been here before.and yet this place felt entirely strange and unknown.

Turning her attention back on the road she studied what was soon to become her neighbourhood. It seemed nice enough; she smiled as two girls', one with long blond hair, the other with mid-length brown hair tied up in a ponytail, walked past laughing. This was her chance at a brand new life, new friends, everything.

She watched the girls ascend the stairs to the temple, still laughing and joking, she was snapped out of her daydream by the bus pulling up beside her. Quickly, Amber turned and picked up her bags and clambered onto the bus, which would take her new apartment. After paying the driver and sitting down she returned to her thoughts. Life her would be good, a new chance for her, full of endless possibilities. A job, friendship, love, freedom.

She was looking forward to getting settled in; life outside was so different to the life that she had been living in the hospital. But now that she had got her 'freedom' she really didn't know what to do or where to start.

After ten minutes she was climbing off the bus and staring up at a large apartment building, quickly she walked through the large double doors and into the elevator. After a few minutes of wandering around on the seventh floor she found the door to the apartment that the hospital social worker had organised for her to stay in. Unlocking the door, with her brand new key, she walked into her apartment.

After dumping her bags down she took a look around, it seemed okay- plain like the hospital but it wasn't as if she had any memorabilia or photos to decorate the place with anyway. Exploring the place she found that she had a large main room, which the kitchen attached to via an archway, a bathroom and a bedroom, which led out onto a small balcony. It wasn't particularly big but for one person with hardly any possessions and no friends to invite over it would be fine.

The rooms were all simply furnished; table, couple of chairs, sofa, usual kitchen appliances, bed, wardrobe, mirror.. She froze as she saw her reflection, hair which fell just past her shoulders in auburn soft waved, pale green almond shaped eyes, a disturbingly pale complexion and a very slim build, which was hidden under baggy clothing.

Somehow it seemed as if her appearance didn't quite seem to suit her, but that was impossible- it was probably as she never remembered really seeing her reflection before.

Shaking off her confusion she turned, collected her bags and began unpacking her small selection of clothes and belongings.

Tomorrow she had a list of job interviews to go to, the social workers had supplied her with enough money to last a couple of weeks and to get herself set up, they had organised it so that she would find employment and support herself. It was the best that they could do after failing to find out her true identity or her family.

Sighing she flopped down on the small bed, it had been a long and tiring day. Stretching she closed her eyes and before long she found herself and a peculiar yet familiar dream.
