Chapter 1: A few years later

Hi I’m Ciara and this is my story

I woke up, in my dream world my parents were alive, but it’s time to face reality, they were dead. I remembered the way he killed and tortured my parents and left them to die. His grin, he made me and my sister Evangeline, watch.

I’m 16 years old and I have a sister Evangeline, as I said before. Over the years we grew up, we could never afford a new house and had to fend for ourselves.

I opened my wardrobe and looked for something to wear, in the end; I chose a blue checked top, dark blue jeans and long brown boots. I brushed my hair, my long brown hair streamed down my back. I heard a noise outside; I guess that’s the bus. I grabbed my bag, slung it over my shoulder and got onto the bus. I high- fived everyone. I was the one every girl wanted to be and all the boys wanted. I strutted confidently down the aisle of the school bus, sitting at the back with the populars.

Life was good.

We got to the school, I went to my locker and saw Sarah, Rose and Diana all waiting for me.

“Hey” I smiled.

“Hey” they said in unison

“Omg, Rose I love your hair!” I squealed, admiring her scarlet red locks.

“Yeah, mum finally gave in, after me nagging her loads” Rose smiled a secret smile.

“Diana, Sarah how was your summer?” I asked them.

“Well, I have a whole new wardrobe, my mums getting this new house; it’s like my dream home!” Diana Grinned, while we stood there, mouths open in shock.

“My summer was boring, as always, my parents hardly let me do what I want, they hardly pay attention to me, they think my little sister charlotte is a genius” She rolled her eyes, in disgust.

“Fancy skipping school, guys?” I nudged them.

“Yeah, where to?” They asked, looking at me in awe.

“I was thinking New Look” I said, grinning.

“Shopping Spree!” We squealed.

We shut our locker doors and ran down the secret passageway out of school.

I called a taxi.

We got into the taxi and drove to New Look.

***3 hours Later***

We walked out of the shop, holding three bags; I got a blue jumpsuit with the words “Babe” Written on the front of it, in gold. Diana got a pink top saying “Fabulous” and blue jeans. Sarah got a long blue dress for the prom coming up.

Oh my god! Prom I totally forgot, I need a dress.

It’s too late to back out now.

My arms ached, must have been all the shopping. I threw the bags on a nearby chair and as I walked in, I saw my Sister, Evangeline. I looked at her up and down.

Evangeline had her long sleek black hair running over her shoulders, a black top with skulls on, black jeans and black pointy boots.

“Hey sis.” She said bitterly, with a smug smile.
