Everything Inbetween

Chapter 1 : Darling

A sweet smell of flowers, a nice walk over to a calming river, yet on both sides of this calming place are two families one that is big and has much love for one another and one that is small and hates one another, one loves the light and the other fell for the darkness, one born to take over the world and on to save it from evil doings, one that loves to hurt and one that hates to see others in pain.

The school is a very loud place, students running and talking why the only time they shut up is when Mr.Codwell walks in with his buck teeth and ugly scratchy voice. The popular girls walk in and sit down in there assigned seats, the smart boys stop talking about math problems, the popular boys sit down and look at the popular girls with smirks, the girls start giggling, the quiet kid sits in his set reading his favorite book Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the popular girls are passing notes to the boys and the boys write on paper and pass them back, a kid looking out the window shout "Codwell!" Everyone shuts up, the creaky door opens, Mr.Codwell with his buck teeth walks in with a leather briefcase and a smile on his face, he never smiles...ever... "hello class i hope you are all having a wonderful day" he says happily

"Today we are going to have a spelling bee, just us though, winner stays and the loser goes back to their seats and another person takes their place" he looks around the class his chest out and his hands behind his back "Echo Wood" she stands up from her seat and walks to the front of the class, he raises one eyebrow and smirks "Bellamy Wood" he stands up and goes to the front of the class, Mr.Codwell looks around the class "spell Chair" Echo speaks first "C-H-A-R" she looks at Bellamy and makes a sassy face "Wrong" he points at her then to to seat, Bellamy clears his throat "C-H-A-I-R" he looks at Mr.Codwell in the eyes "Correct!" he looks around the class once more "Kira Martin" she walks to the front of the class with her hands behind her back "spell Family" she takes a deep breath "F-A-M-A-" "wrong" she sits down, Mr.Codwell looks at Bellamy "F-A-M-L" "wrong again! Does anyone know how to spell this very simple word?" a girl raises her hand "Dylan come up here and spell Family for us, Bellamy you sit down" she walks to the front of the class her hands shaking because she hates having people looking at her "F-A-M-I-L-Y...Family" she looks at Mr.Codwell then down at the ground, he smiles "we should have a spelling bee for the smartest students" he looks around the class "since Matthew Bayne isn't here we can have George Farmer" he walks to the front of the class a popular being the 3rd smartest in the class how rare "spell Beautiful" Dylan closes her eyes "B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L" "correct spell Voice" George smiles "V-O-I-C-E" "correct spell Engagement" Dylan hands her hands "E-N-G-A-G-E-M-E-N-T" "correct spell Barrel" he tilts his head a little "B-A-R-E--" "wrong" George looks at Dylan nods his head and sits down "looks like Dylan wins for the day" she sits down at her seat and smirks, she looks over at George and he is looking at her, she looks down and raises her eyebrows and smiles "alright class you all get free time for the rest of the day" everyone smiles, "good job D" says Echo with her short hair "thanks" Dylan says "you should have lunch with us" says the most popular girl in class "no thanks i would rather eat alone" "whatever...lets go girls" she goes to the back of the class and sits next to the red headed girl named "hey Sierra" she turns around and looks at Dylan "hey Dylan" she says "you're the only person i really know here so can i hang out with you?" she looks at Dylan like she is crazy "don't you have brothers and sisters that go here" "i do but they are no fun, plus my favorite brother went out hunting with my dad" Sierra looks at the floor then back at Dylan "alright i guess" Dylan smiles "you know i think George has a crush on you" "ha! Are you kidding, he has a crush on my sister Amybeth" they both look over at George and he is trying his hardest to not look at them "sure he has a total crush on Amybeth" Dylan sighs "looking at someone doesn't mean he likes me, it means he wants to punch me in the throat because a girl beat him at something" Sierra shakes her head and rolls her eyes "you are going to be one single Woman" "i am fine with being Single" she murmurs "you're gonna regret that when someone attacks you" Dylan looks over at George once more and he is laughing with his friends. The day ends and everyone leaves "Dylan tell dad we're coming home late" she looks back "you can't be late it's Friday we have to train" he sighs deeply "you always ruin moods" she looks at the ground "sorry i don't make the rules" she raises her voice ever so slightly "sheesh you don't have to raise your voice" says Amybeth in her sassy tone of voice "just shut up ok" Amybeth crosses her arms and raises her eyebrows "how about you don't even go home, ever." Dylan looks at her "fine maybe i will not because you told me so but because none of you care about me and if i leave then all of you would have a better life" Dylan says in a sassy tone for the first time ever. She walks into the woods and goes to a treehouse she built a few years ago "stupid siblings, what makes them think that being older makes them superer" little did she know on the other side of the meadow where her true home is a boy lives the life no one wants. A woman walks into the dinning room "enjoy" a man sits on one end of the table, a woman sits on the other end, a boy sits on the side, they all grab their spoons "sit up son" he sits up and eats his food, his father looks at him then at his wife "My sisters are coming over later tonight you best make their rooms" she looks up to him "i'm not your slave" she looks at her angrily "haven't you learned manners!" The boy stands up and walks away, his parents screaming and yelling at one another, he goes up to his room and walks out to his balcony, he rests his head on the ledge and looks out into the woods. A carriage stopped right in front of his house, his 6 cousins named Avarice, Draven, Leila, Salem, Quillon, Belladonna. His 2 aunts Dolores, Maeve and their husbands named Juaquin and Devan. They walk into the house. Matthew (the boy standing on his balcony) backs up into his room and sits on his bed resting his head on his hands, he looks down at the floor and a small shadow person dances with a lady, Matthew smiles, he hears running up the stairs and quickly the small shadow figures fade away. His cousin Draven comes in and sits next to him "rough day?" he sighs "yup" they look at each other and deeply sigh "your parents are still fighting, my parents were fighting on the way here" he looks down at the ground "can you make those shadow things that you always make?" Matthew calmly moves his hands and the shadow figures come back but bigger and this time it wasn't a man and woman dancing it was a man running through the forest with his best friend and they were laughing, the friend in the front tripped over a root and they both laughed-- "DRAVEN!!!" his mother yells for him, he gets scared and walks down stairs "eat, remember what we said about people who waste their food" she says looking down at him like he is nothing "yes mother" she walks away with her hands behind her back. Dylan looks around and tries to find paper to free her from her boredom "did we really use up all the paper?" she looks under a bunch of newspapers and the flowers "you can't tell anyone about this ok" Dylan gets startled and looks down from her treehouse and sees 2 girls from her class talking "George is going to ask that weird girl on a date" they giggle "are you serious?!" she starts to add a little sas to her voice "yeah, my brother said they were talking about it in class and whoever lost had to ask her out" they giggle "i just hope Amybeth doesn't find out since it's her sister and all" Dylan lays down and continues listening to them talk "oh please, Amybeth doesn't care about her, she told me so, she said and i quote 'my sister is a nobody with no talent' then she went off and said that she and her family would be better off without her, that is quite harsh but it is true she gives everyone such a hard time" the girls start to get chilly "it's getting cold i think we rested for a good amount of time" they start walking away, Dylan looks at the ceiling and everything starts getting bright she covers her eyes and sigh "not again" she sits up her hands still covering her eyes "i hate when this happens" she takes her hands off her eyes and they start glowing a bright white. Matthew looks out of his window and sees two bright lights deep in the woods he seems a bit curious "MATTHEW GET DOWN HERE" his Aunt yells from downstairs "Coming!" he continues to stare at the white lights then once he reached his door, he felt a breeze come through his window but he just shrugged it off, he walks down the stairs and sees everyone at the table "hello Matthew how have you been?" he looks at his aunt in the eyes "i'm doing fine aunt Dolores" she smirks but her face goes back to a mean rested face "good, how are your grades?" she straightens her back because she feels like she is slouching "my grades are perfectly fine" she raises her eyebrow "they better be" Matthew awkwardly smiles and walks back upstairs "where are you going?" his father says "i have to finish a project for school" he walks up the stairs. Dylan calms herself down and her eyes become normal again "i feel like i should go home already the sun already set" she bits her nails, she puts on her shoes and climbs down her lader "Dylan! Dylan!" she looks over and sees Edmund running toward her "move!" she moves to the side and she gets pulled up by a net, he finally reaches her, he scratches his net "sorry..." she grabs the knife from his pocket and cuts herself down "why could you put a net in front of my tree house" he nervously laughs "i didn't know you gus would be here tonight" she gets up from off the ground and wipes the leaves off her clothes "wait do you always do this?" he looks around "yes...but only because his part of the woods is infested with Racoons" she looks at him with a weird face "why do you want to catch Racoons?" she gives him back his knife "i just think they look cool" she puts her arm around him "i forgive you, just please stop putting the nets on the bottom of a ladder to a treehouse" he awkwardly laughs "i promise i will stop putting the nets on the bottom of the ladder" they walk away from the treehouse "i'll walk you home Edmund" she looks at her "isn't it supposed to be the boy walks the girl home?" she sighs "yeah but i'm feeling sorry for you" they walk to his house "Thank you for walking me home Dylan" she smiles "no problem Ed anything for my oldest friend" he hugs her "i know you don't hugs but i just felt like hugging you" she smiles and walks away, Edmund waves at her then walks into his house, she walks into the forest then starts running, she reaches the meadow and goes on her knees, she smiles with tears in her eyes, she gets on her feet and dances with a being she made, they dance around the meadow and everything starts glowing "you're a great dancer" she laughs, the being spins her around and she wakes up, the sun is out and she is laying in the meadow.
