CHAPTER ONE: New Guy In Town
Every night I would see brand blazing all around of worse, everyone frozen to death.
I woke up, hart-, hart racing, face covered with sweat.
"Just another nightmare".
I cupped my face, removed the blanket and stepped out of bed. The alarm clock showed 6:00 am. I still had an uur to reach college on time.
I got ready and went downstairs for breakfast. Aunt Felicia had already laid the table. I got myself seated and poured some melk in my bowl of cereal.
"Where's Uncle Ruth", I asked.
"Oh, he isn't feeling well. Your uncle is having rest, he has a mild fever." She zei helping herself with a cup of tea.
I'm Evelyn June. I live live with my aunt and uncle. They are not my biological uncle and aunt but after my parents death, they raised me up. That's all I can tell you, at least for now.
I had my breakfast, grabbed my hand bag and left for college. The dag had just started like the usual one.
I entered the college gate then the hall, made a left turn, the seconde entrance and there i went towards my locker.
"Evelyn!", Grace came running towards me.
"Hey! How are you?", We hugged as usual.
"Do u know there's a new guy in town and he's here to study in our college!", She giggled with excitement.
I opened my locker and picked up the necessary books.
"Okay", I replied after closing my locker.
"Did u even hear what i said?".
"Yes i did. What's new about it? New students come and go."
We started walking towards our first class.
Grace asked,"Did I mention he's cute?"
"Nope."
"Well he's super cute!.", Grace replied with a huge smile on her face.
"Good for you." I winked at her.
Half dag passed. The first three lessons were finally over. Grace was busy in her swimming classes. I was free so I decided to go to the cafeteria. I pulled myself a chair, swimming in the depths of my own thoughts, staring at the vapors running down the chilled glass of juice. The volgende moment a severe pain shot through my head.
"Ugh!", i let out a moan.
I glanced at my wrists, the symbolic marks were visible again. I quickly rolled down my sleeves. The pain was becoming overwhelming.
"Any problem?", a voice distracted me. I looked up but couldn't recognize the face.
"No, i'm fine, thank you." I forced a smile.
"May i kom bij you?", he asked.
"Yes, please have a seat.", I tried to hide my pain.
He offered me to eat something but I refused politely. I could feel the pain all through my body now.
"By the way i'm new here. Name's Auberon Roy.", he brought his hand forward.
He might be the new student Grace was talking about.
The pain got me worried but I had to control my trembling body.
"I'm Evelyn June. Have heard a lot about u lately.",
I shook his hand but retreated at once. I saw a ring on his index finger.
"Silver.", I gritted.
"You alright?", He tried to pat my hand but, I stood up immediately.
"I need to go." saying that I left the cafeteria.
*
I examined my palm, it had a bruise on it. The pain in my head was now no meer but my palm was deeply cut. Silver, my weakness, it burns my skin. I went to the medical staff of the college. They bandaged my wound and sent me home.
One meer thing I noticed that the symbols on my wrists had now vanished.
