Acceptance of Fire

Chapter One

"Beep-beep, beep-beep." I fumble with the buttons on my clock, trying to cease the annoying sound that woke me from my peaceful sleep. It was a good dream and everything.

After about a minute of fiddling fruitlessly with the buttons and switches on the side of the clock face, I accept that I can't turn it off with my face in the pillow. I roll over and 'thump', hit the floor. With my face.

I stand up and kick off the duvet that has wrapped itself around my legs. Then I reach towards my clock and punch the button with my thumb to turn it off. It's only 6:45, school doesn't start until 9. After stretching, blowing my hair out of my face and waking up properly, I start my morning routine.

A shower, a piece of toast and a hairbrush later, I'm pulling on my school uniform.

Let me introduce myself, I'm Imogen Walters, but Imy is fine, I live in Devon on my own. My parents abandoned me when they found out that I was... Different. I go to school like a normal person and no one knows about me. Literally. No one ever notices me and so I'm the friendless, silent, 'freak', who sits in the back of the classroom, never puts her hand up, never talks to anyone, doesn't exist as far as most are concerned. And then there's The Presence.

This evil shadow thing follows me around, trying to ruin my life. I've moved schools four times because of it, plus two more times on my behalf. But over the twelve years of knowing it, I've learnt how to dodge the worst it can do.

I might add bits and edit it tomorrow but right now it will have to do.

Thanks for reading guys :)

Anyways. Bye! Have a nice day/good night!!
