Chapter Two
Disclaimer: I don't own 24. If I did, Audrey wouldn't have even been created in the first place.
Its 8 in the morning and I'm driving through the middle of some near deserted highway to the middle of nowhere on my eighteenth birthday. This plain old sucks. Chloe was writing in the journal that Margaret had given to her once she was ready to leave for wherever they were going. Apparently since Chloe was technically no one's foster child, it was best that she recorded everything that happened in her adult life. Sometimes it was hard to understand Margaret's way of thinking. In fact, if Margaret and Colin hadn't been following Chloe around for the half hour she had been awake, she probably would have thrown it out by now. The only reason she was even writing in it was because she knew that Margaret and Colin were working really hard to make this day special for her, even though Chloe was more than certain that it would end up horrible, just like every other birthday she had had since her fifth birthday.
She turned to face the window, the menacing snowflakes were still falling from the sky. It had been snowing straight since New Years now, and people were beginning to wonder if they were going to get snowed in anytime soon. But that didn't matter to Chloe, she was planning on moving far away from Margaret and Colin and living in an apartment, so it was unlikely she would get snowed in. A shudder ran through her body as Colin opened the window for some fresh air. Chloe pulled her jacket around her and fell into the peaceful world of sleep.
When she awoke, she found herself driving down a very familiar street. Too familiar. Where was she? Suddenly they drove past an Ice Cream Parlour labelled Hal's Ice Cream. She remembered this place, she had come here once. Her dad had given her a piggyback here once, along with her older sister. Oh no. They couldn't have brought her back. But they had, and there was nothing Chloe could do about it.
Chloe had long forgotten the name of the first town she had ever resided in. She had basically tried to forget everything about it, to forget the tragedy that had happened there thirteen years before. She watched as Colin drove past houses and houses, all of which were vaguely familiar to Chloe. She had an amazing memory and had never actually truly forgotten any detail of anything, unless it was something she didn't want to remember, like the name of the time of the town she was in at the moment, or even her last name.
They pulled up to a tiny little breakfast all day restaurant and they got out of the car. This was probably one of the only places that Chloe didn't remember, it was probably new. They walked in and walked to a small table next to a window with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. She could smell the salt water through the glass. Despite being born in a fishing town, she hated the ocean and fish alike. While thinking of how little the town had grown since she had last been there, Chloe failed to notice a woman walk over to them and sit across from her. She had long dirty blonde hair and an extremely happy look on her face. From her facial expression you could guess that something brilliant had just happened to her.
"Hello Chloe"
Startled, Chloe turned her head away to see a very familiar face beaming at her.
"Hello Mother" was all that a surprised, shocked and startled Chloe could say.
So this was her birthday present.
Okay, tell me what you think! Please review!
