Chapter 1: Welcome TO Pensylvania!
:~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~:
In The Darkness Within Magic's Home,
There shall be one who can see through all,
The Warrior, Healer,
And Blazing Star,
With The Forth, the key,
Can reach the success.
With the three as the lock,
A shining light along their roads,
And one as the key,
Though not sinking in darkness.
Avalon can be reached once more,
Be opened to all in the web,
And magic will flow unconditionally again.
:~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~:
The harsh whisperings of her nightmare remained etched to her mind, the girl, haunted by the chorus of cries, could not sleep anymore. Katniss was wide awake.
She kicked her blacket upwards and watched it flutter to the edge of her bed before slipping into her bunny slippers and slinking out of the room along the lines of the shadow. She must not be seen by Madam Roserta or before she could say, "I need to go to the toilet." she'll be back in bed.
Katniss didn't want to lie in the stuffy, over-heated room again, she wanted to roam and remember the last of her first home. Katniss didn't want to, but she was leaving the warm, rowdy orphanage, and she would probably not see it again. Even though the 13-year-old girl did not fit like the rest of the orphans did, she still liked kind Madam Roserta (Caretaker of the 7-13 year old kids) Miss Helena (Cook) and Mister Nocturda (Owner) whom had helped her settle in when she first arrived at the age of eight, a week after the fateful accident that killed her parents and changed her life.
She did not want to be adopted. But then again, she had no choice. It was do or run and she had no experience nor anyone to assist her if she wanted to be a beggar. And she didn't want to.
The young girl did not see how she could be adopted. Who would be willing to adopt her to such extent they asked and signed and arranged everything in patience for a month. Katniss was just plain odd, with eyes that scare everyone out of their wits when they first saw her. The younger orphans would burst into tears, as she had known by experience.
Katniss had silver-white, pupiless eyes with black outlines that deemed her odd. Indeed, most had thought she was blind until the doctor explained it was probably due to some deformation during the period of pregnancy.
Nobody adopted her...until today. When it was announced that Katniss would have to pack up and leave tomorrow in the car of Mr Hemson.
"Kat? Kat! OHMYGOD answer me, Katniss!"
The familiar, impatient tone of her best friend forever (and only) Jasmine, jolted her out of her thoughts.
"Jasmine..." Katniss smiled weakly. "I didn't realise you were here"
Her friend glared. "Oh my...god...And I was just right in front of you, and you were staring...and I might as well have thought you to be blind! Anyways," Jasmine looked genuinely sad now. "I don't want you to leave me alone. Please, stay?"
Katniss shook her head apologetically. "I'm sorry. I can't, you know it."
Jasmine imediately burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. With a shaking hand, she held up an object. It was a beautiful jewel with a jagged circular shape with ripples and jagged things that made it look like water after someone dived in.
Katniss gapsed. "My...!"
Jasmine smiled sadly. "Remember this? When we quarrelled the last time, you tossed it away. Now I've found them. Took me ages too! Thought you ought to have it to remember me by. Don't forget to email me about things that happen. I'll do the same too!"
"Jasmine..." Katniss sobbed and wrapped her arms around her best friend in a bear hug.
She remembered damn well how they found their own jewels, with Jasmine's the shape of a tear drop. It was like...like...magic.
"Goodbye!" Jasmine repeated and turn tailed, running. Katniss knew her friend could not stand the pressure of saying goodbye.
***The Next Day***
"Bye, bye! Hope to see you again, Katniss!" The orphans yelled directly into her ear and she flinched.
But Jasmine wasn't around...why not?
The girl fingered her jewel suspended in a silver-and-gold chain, feeling hurt, but Katniss could not blame Jasmine. She was probably in the toilet, weeping.
"Bye bye, guys. And bye, New Maxico Home For Orphans..."
Katniss lept into the car and watched the orphanage sink out of view. Before it did, however, she heard Jasmine, her honey-haired friend yelling, "Don't ever forget me, Kat!"
"Never will!" Katniss promised.
***Katniss 1st Person POV***
I leaned back in the second car seat I have sat at during the time span of this long day.
First, a car, then, the airplane, and back to a car again. Worst still, it was almost midnight. I shrugged my shoulders a little, relaxing, before realizing the car had jerked to a stop.
"Welcome to Pensylvania, girl." Said the driver.
I turned to him and nodded my thanks before rushing out of the car. The warm breeze tickled my skin as I heaved my heeaving trunk onto the ground and dragged it to the house in front of me, ringing the bell.
A smiling woman opened the door.
"Oh my, Katniss! How have you grown!" She said, joy radiating in her face.
"Do I know you?" I whispered uncertainly.
"Well...yes! I am a distant relative of your parents!"
"Oh..." I was speechless.
Then, a chorus of barks resounded from the nearby house and I flinched. "Whats all that noice!"
"Oh, that!" The woman smiled. "That's coming from the Fletchers' house. They have a pet hotel (or sorta) and is helping me take care of Tara, my sheltie." I hunched.
"I can come in? I'm very tired."
"Oh yes, you can! One more thing..." The woman's eyes gleamed.
"What?" I demanded, irritatedly.
"Welcome to Pensylvania!"
