Chapter 3 New School Cool
Damian
As I sit down in class I notice three things. One, Mrs.Sullivan didn't acknowledge that I was a minute late and my teacher is all about efficiency, time management, and getting the most done with all the time she has. Although she looks like she doesn't sleep often enough, Two, the class was silent which was very unusual for them, and three there was a girl I didn't recognize. "Class joining us as a new student today is Katherine Briggs heir to Genetic, Atomic, Technological, and Scientific Industries or G.A.T.S. Industries for short," Mrs.Sullivan says. "Treat her kindly and don't cause her any trouble, Damian raise your hand." I comply with the instruction. "You will be sitting to his right, now take your seat we are starting class late." As she walks to her seat beside me I see that she has beautiful blue hair and eyes, her skin clear and glowing. Her clothing a blend of a blue school uniform and casual wear and a blue snowflake in her hair. Needless to say, she was breathtaking. "Nice to meet you" she says but I'm dazed, although her beauty is overwhelming something was off I just couldn't put my finger on it. I guess you could say it was her presence but I didn't trust her despite her very welcoming appearance. "Nice to meet you too" I finally manage to say. For the rest of the day, nothing interesting happened until science class. "Good afternoon everyone I hope you all started on your project because it is due in three days" Mrs.Phaust says. At that moment I zone out and remember the project Dani and I started on and I carelessly left at my dad's house. Granted I left it for good reason but still if he has already started to get rid of my stuff three hours of research and documentation go to waste. Dani glanced at me from across the classroom and sent a look of concern my way but was the concern for the project or me? After that, the only other thing that was noteworthy was the fact that cute-I mean new girl was in all of my classes. After school let out Dani and I started walking to the park. As we walked we talked about school, life changes for me, and what I am going to do now that I don't have a home. "I can tell your avoiding this on purpose but you're not considering going back to get the project right?" I stop dead in my tracks I feel a snowflake land on my nose before melting and Dani staring at me with the concern and intensity that my mom used to show whenever I made a reckless decision. " I'm considering going back but for more than the project, I need my money, phone, and a few other belongings but please don't try to stop me." As I speak Dani's face shifts from concern to irritation. "What happens if you get caught? What happens if this time I can't patch you up?" Dani asks frantically. "I promise that if he gets near me I'll get out of there, just trust me." I say. "This is crazy and risky but if you insist on going back I have two conditions. One, you return to me unharmed, and Two, whatever can't fit in your backpack you leave behind okay?" I agree with Dani's conditions before emptying my backpack into Dani's. I then walk over to the biggest tree in the park and sit down in its shadow after a few minutes I feel an intense chill but to my surprise, it's not as cold as before. As I fall I notice my necklace glowing bright red before the darkness strips away from my surroundings. As I land I take in the familiar sight that is my room. Before I can become sentimental I hear the tv downstairs. I realize that he is home but due to what I am hearing he is watching a boxing match. I move silently and quickly grabbing my wallet, phone, my black and white sword that I bought from the local forge for my 14th birthday, and our project data. As I think about anything else that I might need I glance at my nightstand and see a picture of my mom. Her clear flawless skin, beautiful violet eyes, flowing white hair, and a smile that could light up a room. A carefully pick up the picture and put it in a separate compartment in my backpack. As I close my bag I hear the eerie creaking of the stairs. Knowing that my dad is coming I hoist my bag onto my shoulders and hide in my closet as I close the door it makes the loudest and most obnoxious noises it could ever make drawing my dad's attention. As I hear his footsteps approaching I try to concentrate. I think about the park, Dani, and escape. However, my dad has entered the room now. He looks around and notices that my photo of mom is missing."I know that you're here Damian. I want to say I'm sorry for overreacting, we can try to rebuild I just want to talk." As he talks I start to believe him. I reach for my closet door before remembering what he did to me, what he said, and my promise to Dani. As I look closes through my closet blinds I see a faint bronze glow emitting from his hands. As I step back further into my closet I remember that he owns brass knuckles. So much for wanting to talk, I look again and notice that instead of a remorseful look he is smirking as if waiting to find me and finish what he started. He looks under my bed as I try to regain focus and get out of there. As he approaches the closet I freak out. My breathing becomes erratic, my chest gets tight and I start to see black spots appear in my vision. He puts his hand on the door-nob and as he turns it I see the shadows start to embrace me. Dad and I lock eyes for a brief moment before he lunges at me.
