Chapter 1 - Beginnings

(unknown P.o.v)

I walked outside on the porch to get a breather. I looked up to see the moon was covered by the thick grey clouds that blanket the night sky. I looked at my red and white Converses and gave a sigh. Life was beginning to feel like hell. I gave another sigh and looked back at the sky. I felt a rain droplet hit my forehead. It sent a shiver through my entire body. I pulled my hood up and leaned against the railing. The toads were croaking in the distant of where the pond was. I looked in the distance, straining to see the dark mist around the trees. I felt a sudden feeling of being watched . Paranoid as hell, I kept close against the railing. I closed my tired eyes and gave a deep sigh again. My chest and shoulders began to get tight. I felt anxiety creep in and I stood up straight. I always felt anxious when I go outside at night. The feeling of being watched isn't a good feeling. Even as a child I felt watched by someone or something. I never saw anything but I felt a presence. The fear and anxiety of it made me shake my head. I'm eighteen but still have childish fears of the night. I guess as a child I watched too many scary movies. The funny thing is to that is ....I don't remember my childhood...At all.... Anyways, back to reality, I looked at the grass and exhaled slowly. I rolled my shoulders back to stop the tension. That didn't work but it made my shoulders crackle. I hear the door creak open and I turned around quickly. It was my seven year old sister Amanda. Her mossy brown hair a mess and sleepy eyes looked at me. "W-what are you doing Daniel?," she yawns. "What are you doing up at midnight?," I question. She rubbed her tired eyes and yawns."See what you were doing". "Go back to sleep Amanda". She nodded and went back inside. I followed her inside and locked the door behind me. The t.v was still going and my Dad was sleeping in his chair . His arm around his face as his head was tilt back. I smiled he looked so stupid when he sleeps. I grabbed the remote on the glass table . I turned the t.v off and carefully​ placed it back on the table. I quickly went down the hall beside the t.v and went to the very back. Where my room was located next to my sister's room. I went inside my room and flopped on my bed. I grabbed my iPhone and saw a text from Levi. She was my childhood friend that was always around me. She moved when I turned ten but is coming back tomorrow. I was pumped to see my childhood friend again. It's eight years now and it seemed like eternity. Her ember green eyes will never get out of my head. Her red hair that flowed around her pale skin. Her smile that could enchant a siren. Was never forgotten by me. I excitedly laid in bed and texted her that I was ready to see her. I hope she would respond but she didn't. She was probably asleep or doing something. I put my phone on my nightstand and laid back down. After hours of tossing and turning.My eyes began to get heavy. Finally, Sleep overtook me and everything went black.
