So here is my new story. Please read it. this chapter is good I think. It took me one week and lots of rewrighting to finish it so just read it. Some of the characters are a bit OOc but not too much (I hope!)
Skye King was sitting the very last compartment on the train. She had electric blue eyes and golden blond hair. She sat and stared out the window watching the trees and grasses go flying by taking her further and further from her home.
She would be going into 7th year at Hogwarts; her very last year. She hoped that this year she would make some new friends, because her former friends had all deserted her, and left her to be murdered by an insane criminal. But that was the past, and this is the present. She needed to forget that and start her life over, forgetting all the tragedies and deaths that she had experienced in the last year.
She sighed and stared out the window. Her life was all wrong. When she was a little girl she dreamt of going to school, having lots of friends and having a nice normal life, but that's not how it happened. She had gone to Hogwarts on her first day all exited knowing that her dreams would come true there, but looking back she had realized how wrong she had been. She met some people, called them her friends, only to have them turn on her six years later.
After escaping from a cold blooded killer, she had decided to start a new life, a better life. She now was Skye King, pureblood witch from a rich wizard family. She had no brothers and no sisters. The only members of her family were her mother Cristina, her father Edward, and her precious cat Cookie, her prized cat that she had gotten when she was 13. He had long ginger colored fur and a squished face and Skye loved him to death. He had been her only friend after her former friends had abandoned her. When she had cried herself to sleep he was the only one that could comfort her. He'd sit on her lap and purr, kneading his paws into her stomach.
She had been hoping that someone would come join her in her compartment to keep her company, but no such luck. The train had left the station over an hour ago and everyone had already gotten themselves a room.
She looked up into the black sky, and saw a star up in the sky; it was a very pretty star, sitting all alone in the sky. It reminded her of herself, all alone no friends, nobody to talk to. She had never believed in wishing stars, but for some reason this star seemed to be telling her to make a wish. She couldn't understand it, it just sat there twinkling in the pitch black sky, but she had this strong urge to make a wish. After a while of arguing with herself she decided to go for it – "why not?" She told herself.
"How does it go again?" She wondered searching her mind for the rhyme "Oh yeah. Star light, Star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight" She recited the rhyme flawlessly before making her wish "I wish that this year I could have a normal year. A year where people don't see me as an ugly bookworm, but as a normal person. And that I can make some friends that won't abandon me at the first sight of danger. Please mister star, please grant my wish. If you do I'll never doubt the stars again" She finished her wish then just stared up into the heavens dreaming of what wonders this year might hold.
While she was dreaming, some things started to pop into her head. Memories. Bad memories.
Flashback:
She was running as fast as she could, leaping over the bodies of the former death eaters. Her two friends running beside her. She looked to her right - a girl was running behind her with a terrified look on her face. She suddenly felt herself falling over a body. She fell and hit the ground, she looked to see whose body it had been. She looked down to see a cold white face, it's cold empty eyes were still open. It was Collin Creevy.
She turned fully around, that's when she saw him. The man who everyone said would be their savior, the man who could bring peace to their world. How wrong they were. He was even worse than his rival! He didn't care who it was he was killing, whether it was an enemy, or his best friend.
He floated towards her, lazily flicking shots of green lights at people who instantly dropped. He had killed 6 people without even looking at who they were, or for that matter, caring who they were. She turned around expecting to see her friends running towards her, coming to her rescue, but all she saw was the pair running away, fading into the mist. The last thing she saw of them was the girl turning her head to face her; she mouthed "Sorry" to her. She then turned and ran off, leaving her behind to be killed just like the rest.
She looked past the rims of his glasses, into his dull putrid green eyes and saw nothing. She used to look into those same eyes and see joy and love, but now they where cold and empty. His face was thin and looked as if he hadn't eaten for days, his hair hung limply over his head, it was jet black and looked as if it hadn't been washed for a decade. He wore a filthy cloakthat was as dark as night itself.
He ceased his killing and looked down at her and smiled.
"Why hello there" he snarled at her.
She looked up at him trying to look strong and brave, But the man could see the fear in her eyes.
"Come on Mia. You aren't scared of death are you?" He asked in a very unpleasant mocking voice.
She glared at him "Please remember the good times, before you killed he-who-must-not-be-named."
He snorted "Silly girl. Those where foolish days before I discovered what power was."
"I liked that man better. He knew how to love" She spat angrily.
"But sweetie," he cooed cupping her face. She shivered at his cold touch "I still love you. But seeing as how you don't approve of my goal to take over the world we can't be together. If you would only-" She cut him off
I'll never marry a man who finds joy in killing innocent people!" she snarled, slapping his hand away.
He looked away. "Fine." She heard a quiver of regret in his voice. "Go."
She didn't need to be told twice. She ran as fast as she could, trying to not trip over the dead bodies. As she was running she could still feel his eyes boring into her as she ran.
She closed her eyes and bit her lip, holding back
the tears. Every day that same nightmare played over in her head. She
saw it when she slept, when she ate and even when she brushed her
teeth. However, the nightmares had been getting better; the more
forgot who she used to be, the more she forgot about the horrors of
her former self.
She looked back out the window into the sky where the lone star had been joined by other stars, lots of others. The sky was full of them. So she sat there, alone with her thoughts wondering if she made the right choice.
So there it was... Was it good? Bad? Please no flames but if you really think this chpter deserves it... but if you have read this chapter REVIEW! lots of people just read it than leave, but the more reviews, the faster I'll update! Remember, Every review counts!
