Chapter 3

Some where in the U.S.A, a young girl who was sleeping, not very peacefully I might add, was woken up by a banging on her door.

"Hailey Jane Potter! You best get your lazy ass outta bed now! We're going to miss the flight, so come on," a boy named Austin yelled.

"Ok, ok, I'm up. Now SHUT THE FUCK UP," Hailey screamed.

"Such fowl language," Ausin said as he shook his head and walked away.

Hailey laid there for a minute trying to figure out her strange dream. ' Why is it always a green flash' she thought. She then decided that she might as well get ready so she got out of bed and went to her bathroom. Her bathroom was painted midnight blue with a crimson red shower curtain, rugs, and toilet cover. And since she loved to sing in the shower, she had a shower cd player. She put in Three Days Grace and chose one of her favorite songs and stepped under the water.

'Why do we have to go to England anyway? It's so stupid. Who would think of have a forgien exchange program in the middle of a war? Who elected the school board anyway,' she thought as she washed her hair. Sure it was something to be excited about. England had lots of beautiful castles and lots of history. And she was born there. But why did have to be for school? And why the hell did they have to leave on her birthday?

She then got out and went into her bedroom and put on a black mini skirt with chains and studs and a black halter top. She then but on dark red lipstick, black eyeshadow, and black eyeliner. Then she opened up her jewlery box and put on some dangly skull earings.

"Opps, almost for got to put on Mom's necklace," she said. Her mom's necklace was her only link to her mom. She looked at the picture on her dresser. The only picture she had of her family. The two proud parents were smiling up at her holding two babies barely a year old. Then Hailey walked over to the crib at the other end of the room and picked up the two twins inside.

"Now listen very carefully you two. Mommy has to go away for a few months. I want you guys to be very good for Aunty ok. Andrew take good care of Emmily. And if anything happens to me in the next few months, you have to stick together and take care of one anther. I lost my brother when I was your age and I don't want that to happen to you guys. But don't worry, I'll be back around Christmas," she said close to tears. She felt like she was leaving them for ever. Then they started crying. Hailey sat down in the rocking chair and sang the a lullabye to get them to go to sleep. After that, she tucked them in. "I love you two. Goodbye.

"Well, I'm ready" she said, and she picked up her suitecase, backpack, messengerbag, and cd player and cd collection and went out the door.
