Hey, guys. Just to say, the singing is supposed to be the beginning of the song "Destiny" , its in the Cirque Du Freak movie and on the soundtrack. Its just the beginning bit before the main voice comes in ;) Review ?
Chapter One ; Bliss
Every story has to start somewhere, and mine is no exception.
It started in one regular R.E lesson. It was nothing special. I can't remember what it was about. Probably just some pointless information that I would most definitely not be using in my future life. I remember it being very warm outside. The sun was shining bravely through the thin layers of cloud that were splattered randomly across the pale blue sky. I absolutely resented the sun. I hated feeling hot – it stressed me out. I was always weird like that – ever since I could remember. I hated the sun's heat, its light, and the way you had to squint if you were in the unlucky position of facing it.
I preferred the moon. The soft silver glow calmed me. The dark of the sky was like a cooling black blanket to me. Little did I know how close I was to never have to look at the sun again.
I was sitting back lazily in the chair, avoiding the heat of the room that felt like I was sitting in an oven. To one side of me sat Harjinder, one of my best friends. Unlike everyone else, she was actually paying attention to the lesson, eyes intently fixed ahead, to the front of the room. That was strange. Even Harjinder hated R.E.
On my other side was my actual best friend, Rachael Hewitt.
Rachael is a girl that most tend to stay away from. Not because they hate her – though a few do – but because they're scared of her. She had a tendency to love to see people suffer – it made her laugh. She had always been like that, ever since I had known her anyway. Rachael is also exceptionally good at influencing others to do what she likes. She's a very pretty girl, with gorgeous black hair (it used to be red too, until our head of year told her to dye it back), and stunning blue eyes.
We were about halfway through the lesson. I was bored out of my head, and soon I started daydreaming. I did that a lot. Always had.
I was jolted back into reality with a sharp sound. It kind of hurt my head, and I winced, and then realised that it was a soft droning form of singing. Nothing I had ever heard before. The same note, being repeated over and over. I looked around, wondering if anyone else had heard it. It didn't look that way. I frowned, confused, then listened intently.
I was certain the singing was in my own head.
But was that even possible? As I mulled it over, I turned to Rachael, who was looking around sharply, confusion perfectly clear in her eyes. That's when I realised that she had heard the voices too. But no one else had. What the hell?
She turned her gaze to me. "Can you hear that?" I asked her, my voice barely a whisper, shaking. Her reply shook me to my very core.
"Destiny."
And that was the word.
The word that changed our lives, that turned our beings inside-out. The word that changed absolutely everything that we knew, and that sent us crashing into the unknown.
That was when I knew something was horribly, horribly wrong.
