Chapter 2

Sin got up from her smelly, dirty bed and sat there for a while staring at the empty container of sleeping pills. "Damn things don't even work..." She muttered to herself.

She rarely talked. She only muttered to herself once in a while. She had a lot to say, but had no one to say them too. She also hardly ever smiled. She just had a straight face with no expression all the time.

Her mom had been kidnapped and raped about a month after Sin was born. Then there's her dad, who walks down Main Street and gets drunk, high, you know, the whole nine yards. Your probably also thinking, "Who would name their kid Sin?" And if your not, you are now. The reason for that was because her dad was half drunk and half asleep when she was born. The nurse needed to know what they wanted to name their child, and her dad just said any word that came to his mind, which was "Sin" because that's what he was doing...sinning (by getting drunk and all that). Her mom must have passed out...or something when Sin was born because she didn't respond to the horrible name her dad gave her.

Wow. What a life, eh? Mom dies; dad's a druggie, no friends, horrible name, and a horrible life period. Wouldn't you just love to be Sin? Actually.by the end of this story, you might just wanna be.

Sin got up lazily and got dressed into her gray tank top that had a few stains, rips and a faded message of "Shut up" on it. She then put on her half-decent navy sweater that she never zipped up, and her dirty ripped guy- shorts she always wore. Sin had just gotten the tank top. She just found it in the alleyway garbage can. She also washes her clothes in the nearby stream that she often goes to.

The stream was located in a peaceful forest with pure green trees, grass, and beautiful sounds of nature. The water in the stream was so fresh; she could take a drink anytime she wanted to. But that was her place. And only her place. No one ever went there but her. She went there a lot without anyone knowing or noticing.

She only went at night though when her dad was threatening to beat her up.

She also built a small tree house too. It was quite nice. Small, but nice. She had bookcases, a sleeping bag, and everything else a living room mostly has. It also had a battery operated light that's very dim so no one knows she up there at night.

She brushed her blonde greasy hair, and left her messy room. She went to the kitchen slowly and got some old chunky, smelly milk out of the fridge. She looked at the Due Date, and it said, "February 23/2002".

As you can tell by these awful details, she wasn't rich. Her and her dad had nothing. Their house was halfway to nothing.

If your wondering why she doesn't just go get a job - don't wonder. She tried to get a job at McDonalds once, but the manager said she was too scary looking and might scare away the kids and customers. Sin finally got to school. Once she set a foot on the school's property they started picking on her, and threatening to deck her and stuff - she just ignored them. Just like always, this went on all day. At 3:15, the school day ended, and she got out of there as fast as she could. But, I don't think fast enough.Katrina, Matt, and the rest of the 'cool' kids all stopped her on her way out of the schoolyard. "Hey Sin. How are you?" Katrina said in that girly tone. "I hope your not doing too well, and if you are, we'll change that in about a minute or two." They all laughed and made prissy faces." Sin just stared blankly.

There was a long pause of silence.

"You better talk or I'm gonna deck ya." Matt threatened moving towards her.

Sin looked down.

Matt moved towards her and made his hand into a fist. "C'mon. Talk you little punk! I will deck ya! It's Friday anyways, and I won't get in trouble!"

Another long pause.

"You know what," Sin said looking up. "Do what you gotta do, Matt." She said in a half whisper with no expression.

Matt pulled back a bit and looked around surprised. "Well.uhh." Everyone looked at him.

"C'mon!" One said.

"Kick her ass!" Another yelled shaking their fists.

"Whatever." Sin pushed though him and the rest of the crowd.

Gabrielle (a girl that was part of the crowd) grabbed her and pulled her back. "Get back here demon! Don't go wussying out on us." Sin gave her the evil eye.

"Let me go." Sin said grinding her teeth.

"Oh no!" Trevor (yet another person from the crowd) yelled in sarcasm. "She's giving you the eye! Run!" He laughed. Everyone joined in.

That moment when Sin looked at them all, snakes did start growing from their hair - everyone's hair. Sin fled while everyone panicked and screamed in fear.

She slowed down after a while. She walked the running off and whispered, "They deserved it."

Panting, she looked up at the sky, closed her eyes, and breathed hard. 'Why me?' She thought to herself. 'Why not someone else.or no one at all.' She opened her eyes again and saw a bright shiny thing in the sky. "What the." She said out loud. It moved very quickly and moved itself downward. It was heading right for the forest!

"Oh no! My tree house!" She started to run faster then ever before. The wind sliced though her hair and pressed on her body - but that didn't slow her down any. Her tree house was being ambushed!

She finally got to the foot of the field when she stopped and looked out. It was now landing right in the middle of the forest - right where her tree house was located.

She now bolted for the forest. Not as fast as before though, because she was getting tired. But she still ran pretty fast. Sin finally reached the forest, dodging tree branches and stumps. She jumped right over an anthill, and right over a large tree root. She dashed down the path that was worn out from 9 years of taking it (therefore she first found it when she was 6).

She stopped.

A huge silver machine was sitting right in the middle of her spot. It ruined the tiny stream's passageway, making water flow everywhere.

She looked up.
