A/N:
I had a review from my first chapter asking me what Serenity would look like if she were real. Well I found a few pictures to help you all out with what she looks like, its all to be found in my profile :D
Thank you for reading Breath Into Me, I would absolutely love to have some reviews, just so I know what I should work with.
Also, the characters might be a bit OC.
Chapter 2: Staring At The Sun
I groaned softly as I rolled over, covering my face with the comforter, trying to get away from the sunlight that escaped through my dark purple curtains. My eyes fluttered opened as I stretched slightly, taking a moment to realize that I was in my new room and that I had finally moved to Forks. Slowly pushing the covers off myself, I sat up on the bed with my legs hanging off the side, searching for my leopard print slippers. I stood slowly and started making my way out into the hallway, turning to the washroom and walking in. "Oh god..." I starred at myself in the mirror, my hair was a complete mess. The short hairs on the right side of my head were sticking out in every direction while the right long part of my hair had curled while I tossed and turned in my sleep last night. I walked to the tub and turned the faucet, letting the water run to get the temperature that I preferred. While I let the water run, I made my way to the closet that was in the hallway, grabbing two towels for my shower. I then walked into my room, grabbing my docking station, bringing it to the washroom with my housecoat.
I placed my docking station on the sinks counter top, plugging it in and placing my Ipod on it. I pressed play on my Ipod and soon Grave Robber at Large by Creature Feature filled the room. I got into the tub, closing the curtains as I turned the shower on, sighing softly I let the water roll down my body, relaxing any tense muscles I had. I grabbed the shampoo and started massaging it into my scalp. My mind started to wander, replaying the last episode my father had before I made the decision to move out to Forks and live with Sue.
A bottle was thrown at the wall, smashing on impact, I quietly and quickly hid behind the couch before my dad realized I was awake and in the same room. He was a mess. His long black hair had pieces sticking out and looked like there were a few notes in it, he had dark bags underneath his eyes, which seemed a lot darker against his tanned skin. His eyes were blood shot and it looked like he hadn't gotten a good meal into him in a few days. He sat down on the couch and placed his head in his hands, crying softly to himself. "Why was I left alone... Why did she have to leave us... We need her... The love of my life... I miss her dearly..." He grabbed the glass in front of him and drank it all in one go, he starred down at it and sniffled slightly, "And now... I am going crazy here... trying my hardest to make things right for Serenity... Trying to hide the fact that I am slightly broken inside..." His grip on the glass tightened as he bit his bottom lip, his arm was shaking. Soon he whipped the glass at the wall across from the couch.
A knock on the washrooms door brought me back to reality, "Serenity? Are you almost done in there?" I quickly rinsed the conditioner that I had just finished putting in my hair out, "Yeah! Just hold on a minute!" I got out of the shower, wrapping my hair up in a towel and quickly drying myself off before I put my dark red house coat on. I grabbed my clothing I had on before getting into the shower and placed it into the hamper. Unplugging the docking station and picking it up, I opened the door and smiled at Seth, looking up at him, "It's all yours buddy" Making my way to my room, I kicked the door close and placed my docking station on the desk across from my bed. Today was the day that I'm meeting everyone that Seth and Leah were always with. I went to my dresser and started searching for what I was going to wear to the party. I pulled out a pair of black skin tight skinny jeans, putting a bright red belt through the loops, I put on a black tank top with a loose dark red mesh sweater over top and looked at myself in the mirror. Hopefully they like me.. Once I was dressed I quickly dried and straightened my hair, I had always wished that I had perfect straight hair like my father but I was stuck with curly hair just like my mom.
After putting some makeup on, I bit my lip as I starred at myself in the mirror. I wasn't totally sure if this was such a great idea, meeting everyone, my stomach was already in knots thinking about it. There was a soft knock on my door before Sue opened it and walked in, "Good morning Serenity, I have breakfast made for you. It's sitting on the kitchen counter, I won't be home for most of the day. I am heading over to Charlies. If your home alone and need anything, his house number is on the fridge." I smiled at her and nodded, "Alright, thank you again for letting me stay with you." Sue walked over to me and hugged me tightly, placing a kiss on my forehead, "I know how hard it must be for your dad right now. It's you who wanted to help take some of that stress off his shoulders and you know that no matter what I would always take you in." I sniffled as a few tears rolled down my cheeks. "Well hopefully this helps and he will move out here..." Sue smiled and wiped away a few tears, "Now if you start crying, I am going to end up crying with you and then you would be stuck fixing both our makeup." I laughed softly, Sue could always make me smile when I was down.
"I better get going before Charlie wonders if I slept in again." She hugged me one last time before leaving. I grabbed my over the shoulder nightmare before Christmas purse, placing my Ipod, red lipstick, my phone and my wallet inside. I made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen to see the breakfast that Sue had made me on the kitchen counter, Mmm bacon and eggs! I grabbed my plate and walked into the dinning room to find Seth already sitting there, just about finished his plate. I sat down and started eating, "So, you excited about your big night tonight Ren?" I smiled and nodded, "I am pretty excited, but slightly nervous and worried about it. I just hope they will like me.." Seth laughed as he placed his fork on the plate, "Well as far as I can tell from what Leah and I have told them, they are going to love you." I ate my last piece of bacon and looked up at him, "If you say so... I just can't let my guard down so easily... after what had happened back in new york.."
Seth tilted his head to the side and gave me a confused look. Biting my lip I put my head down, starring at my eggs as I played around with the yolk using my fork, "Well... In school.. there was this group of girls that had brought me around their group.. they hated everything about me and wanted to change me... It was around the last time I had come here with my dad, where I went blonde for a bit." I took a quick drink of my milk before I continued, "They changed me from my looks and started on the way I acted in public... Without my friend Kristophe, I would have never actually known what they were really planning on doing... They had made bets with people.." Seth frown and reached over, placing his hand on mine, it was the first time I actually noticed just how warm he was. I finished eating and got up, picking up both our plates and bringing them to the sink, washing them off before setting them on the dish rack to dry.
"I guess Leah is out?" Seth yelled back to me from the dinning room, "Yeah, she... uh... had to work early this morning." I pulled out my cell phone and put Charlies house number into it, just so I had it with me if I needed Sue. Heading to the front door, I grabbed my boots and sat down on the couch so I can put them on and tie them up. "I am going to go for a walk around, you have my number so just call me when it gets close to the time we have to leave." I heard Seth yell back 'Okay!' from the dinning room, I got up and made my way to the backdoor, opening it and heading out. I was glad that I had a few different pairs of boots, the ground was still a little soggy from some of the rain they had gotten last night. I pulled out my phone and looked down at the time, 11:25am... plenty of time for me to explore! I giggled to myself as I grabbed my Ipod, putting my ear buds in I started walking towards the forest, following the path that I had found just past the first few trees.
After about 8 minutes in I found a steep hill, I started climbing the hill, grabbing onto any of the trees and branches that I could to help me up. Once at the top, I looked out upon a grassy clearing with a deer in the middle eating. I smiled as I stood at the edge holding onto a tree to steady myself. The deers head suddenly shot up, turning to look at the trees behind it. I soon followed its gaze to the trees only to see a figure standing there, as soon as I saw this figure, it disappeared. The deer suddenly jumped and ran in the opposite direction then the figure. Soon a large Grey wolf walked into the clearing, looking around slowly. I have never seen a wolf that big before, I gasped slightly, causing its head to quickly turn towards me, causing me to jump a bit, panicking as I lost my balance.
I was falling back, I looked up only to have the sun blinding my eyesight.
